Знакомство с Хургадой Introduction to Hurghada

A ticket from Natalie tours for 14 days, for three 62 thousand (this includes the fuel surcharge from transaero), a normal economy option in our opinion. The price-quality ratio was quite satisfactory. The hotel is large, in good condition, beautifully decorated, spacious. The territory is full of flowers, green, well-groomed, clean, not enough big trees, but remember that the hotel is only 2 years old, more will grow : )
Reading many of the negative reviews about nutrition were a little tense and expecting the worst, it turned out that not everything is so bad. I lower the rating for the beach "fast food" after trying it once, they refused for good. And for the attachment to the clock; personally, in my opinion, the opening hours of restaurants need to be increased, and this is not because we ate more than 3 times a day, but because there are no continental breakfasts (if you just get up early or you have an early check-out from the hotel, you can hope only for a lunch box ordered the day before, and if you return from an excursion at 10 pm, you also run the risk of lying on an empty stomach). So we had to carry the clock to the beach, so as not to be late for lunch at the main restaurant. The breakfasts are good, very tasty pastries in the morning, the only negative was that there were no cereals, and since there are a lot of children in the hotel, I think this is a gap in the menu. Lunches are sometimes poor in variety, but dinners are excellent (freshly baked cakes are especially good, a delicious grill on the street). If they put a little on you (in your opinion, portioned food), ask and they will give you supplements, and if you smile and say thank you, they will put better pieces : )
20 dollars in the passport and we got a room with a side sea view, with a jacuzzi, with a shower. The room itself is spacious, there is carpet on the floor, the furniture has not yet been killed : ), plasma on the wall, a large double bed and two folding sofas. Wicker, not plastic furniture on the balcony. C-grade cleanliness, but not dirty. I must say right away that we are not one of those tourists who move bedside tables in search of dust, take pictures of poorly closing cabinet doors, seams on tiles in the bathroom, and shoot horror films about cracks in the foundation of office premises on the territory of the hotel : ) We go on vacation, not with inspection of all kinds of supervision there; ) Yes, do not forget to take a fumigator, mosquitoes used to seep into the room.

Staff and service: yes, unlike the same charm, the Arabs are brighter here)), see off with their eyes, I don’t deny it. But, no obscene proposals have been received. Almost all the staff understands Russian. The iron broke, ask at the reception and they will bring it to your room for free for a day. “The air conditioner broke down” (it was we who screwed up and didn’t find the switch, felt the wall, and it was on the bedside table. They came, “repaired it. ” And then Olen’s guesthouse called and asked if everything was fine. She also called on the day of check-in and was interested, everything suits us in the room. Politeness, friendliness of the staff at a good level. All your questions and requests will be quickly satisfied. The cleaner for a dollar a day twisted us hearts, swans, put a little more drinking water and towels than expected.
The sea is a special song. It is, but somewhere there, on the horizon : ) We knew this, the pontoon did not scare, but it began to work only on March 1. Because of his repairs, the fish were catastrophically small at first, but every day they arrived. Riff for 2, to be honest. Half-dead, but there are fish. You can and should swim with a mask. A miracle minibus rides along the pontoon and, at your request, can deliver you back and forth. During our stay, there were several times very strong winds, and therefore a lot of jellyfish washed up on the shore, swimming because of this could be traumatic. I had to dodge. There are a lot of loungers on the beach. There are plenty of free places. The pools are clean and well cleaned. The bottom of the pools is "vacuumed" daily. An excellent children's pool with slides, heated to 28 degrees. (It was also under repair until March) The water park is normal (I'm not a particular fan, my husband was pleased) caretakers work on all slides and keep order. There may be problems with a green open slide, with us, our compatriot flew off it and got injured. It is difficult to find places at the heated pools, both on the territory of our hotel and on the neighboring scourge, if they are not "booked" in the early morning. The rest of the pools are 18 degrees, for this time of the year they are icy. But there are many of them, and I believe that in summer and autumn they are very appropriate.
The animation is excellent, during the day for adults, and in the evening our favorite mini-disco. Animator Pasha, you are the best! Many thanks to you for the excellent mood, both for children and adults!
Sorry for writing so much. But just arrived, still full of impressions. And they are good! If you are not afraid of the lack of a comfortable sandy entrance to the sea, then this is not a bad vacation option. Special thanks to the hotel guide Anna, the tour guide Nadezhda and the hotel doctor Mustafa, who treated our son for a sore throat brought from Moscow.
