We rested from October 24 to November 6.2009 on an all-inclusive basis. The hotel did not disappoint. So, in order:
At the reception they immediately gave $ 20 with a request to provide the best room and were satisfied with the choice of the porter - 5401 - in the new fifth building on the fourth floor, the first room (i. e. minus one neighbors) with a panoramic view of the sea - the construction site - the hotel territory (immediately I’ll make a reservation about the construction site, which, judging by previous reviews, annoyed tourists the most: Hurghada is being built, growing, developing, which cannot but rejoice, the noise interfered only once... perhaps, yes, not too aesthetically pleasing, but when you see it on a billboard , what a beautiful hotel complex will be built here, the emotions are still positive). We know that other people received an apartment with a kitchen for one person even for $10. The room is typical for Egypt - quite spacious, the bathroom is combined, a loggia with two chairs, a table and a clothes dryer. Satellite TV with one Russian channel. Thanks to the regularly left tips, they cleaned the room daily, towels were changed on demand (a special memo hangs in the bathroom near the mirror: “if you want the towel to be changed, throw it on the floor” (not literally, but something like that)). In general, I want to talk about tips separately - if you already have several tens of thousands of rubles for a ticket, plan to spend at least 1 thousand on stimulating the people serving you - then the bed will always be made with clean linen and the bartender on the beach will see that you are getting up from the sunbed to approach the bar, he will rush to pour your favorite drink in advance. So a little generosity - and the service will immediately rise by one star.
As for food, we personally had no complaints, but the number of dishes to choose from could be increased. And so - chicken, fish, beef, salads, sweets. You definitely won't leave hungry. The only touch is that soups would be better served not for dinner, but for lunch. Fruit selection is also limited. Drinks - from non-alcoholic drinks: cola, fanta, sprite from bottles (they taste indistinguishable from ours), tea, coffee, as expected - powdered "juices" (I do not advise drinking - it seems that the stomach is upset precisely because of them, and so - problems was not there), in any store on the street you can buy 1.5 liters of drinking water for half a dollar, half-liter cans of beer are sold from under the floor for $ 2, and in the hotel the usual watery beer is Stella. From alcoholic drinks, I recommend drinking cocktails - rum-cola and gin-sprite (the fortress will be made to your taste). Everything is poured into glasses, but 4 in one hand are given without question. Bars in the hotel and on the beach. You have to sign for drinks, but it's not really annoying.
The beach is really 300 meters away, but it doesn’t bother at all - at least some kind of exercise, otherwise you can swim in fat, moving along the room-bed-bar triangle. And this beach really pleases - the landscape of the bottom to choose from - if you want fine and sand, if you want - deep and corals (you need to go a little). What I especially want to note is the presence of corals and the beautiful fish surrounding them in shallow water, so that novice swimmers can enjoy the beauties of the seabed. There were always free sunbeds, towels on the beach are free of charge from 8-30. Security, outsiders are not allowed, which, again, is a big plus. The beach bar is open from 10-30.
There is an animation program, but we didn't get bored anyway. And so, from what we saw - water aerobics in the pool, volleyball, dancing on the beach. In the evenings in a tent opposite the hotel (by the way, very wisely done - the noise does not interfere with those who want to sleep) every evening a different entertainment program, at night - a disco.
The contingent of vacationers - about 60% - Scandinavians, the rest - Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles. Age - from teenagers to pensioners. It seems that no one was bored, everyone was grouped according to their interests.
We didn’t go on excursions, because before that we had already been to Egypt many times and saw a lot. We went on a yacht to the "Paradise" island and were a little disappointed - on a deserted island without a single palm tree (the only - and then - a disguised communication tower) a couple of bamboo cafes were built, where drinks are sold for big money) and the same umbrellas made of palm leaves. White sand and clear water. . . When selling this tour, we were promised "like a Bounty". . . a very weak resemblance. Snorkeling in the sea (again, nothing new). Well, 6 hours on a hot yacht under the scorching sun in the company of 40 strangers (it was promised that there would be 25). So I do not advise. They sell these excursions right on the beach and greatly misrepresent (we were promised as many as 3 islands)))).
In general, the main thing is a positive attitude, since there were bores here too - they didn’t put a fork on one, and he raised a cry instead of taking it on the next table, the other was “poisoned” with rum, they didn’t kiss the third in the ass... and then we read reviews from rating "2". You have to understand that you are still going to three stars.
We had a host - Mostrevel. There are no complaints. In general, we got such a rest, which we counted on. Thanks to all.
