Approximately somewhere in this way it is possible to characterize my first visit to Egypt and Hurghada in particular, with one but: of course, there were much more positive moments.
We rested in the period from February 20 to 27, I must say right away that we were super lucky with the weather. There was one probably the most windy and cool day, but even then somewhere around 10-00 it was already quite normal to sunbathe and swim.
The flight went well without nervousness, only, unfortunately, my ears were so blocked that I arrived in a state of shell shock until late in the evening.
So, leaving the shuttle bus to the airport terminal building, we were a little confused, but as soon as all our compatriots saw 2 tables of Tez-Tour, everyone “rushed” to them with herd instinct, and then the first Egyptian divorce:
- A representative of Teza has a visa that costs $17, although there is a sign above his head that a visa costs $15.
Comrade Mohamed says that a visa for 15 costs at the bank and points to a long queue (which later turned out to be passport control and you still have to go through it). The windows of bank cash desks will be on the right side of the entrance, feel free to go there and buy visas for $ 15, the queue there is max. 2-3 people, you just have to paste the pens into the passport.
The transfer to the hotel went without a hitch. At the reception, be prepared for impudent baksheesh extortionists for a good room, we bargained for 15 dollars.
Room : The number of rooms is perhaps the biggest drawback of the hotel, which is why it's probably 4-ka. They settled us on the 4th floor, overlooking the pool, the sea and palm trees))). The room itself is small, the furniture, the refrigerator are of course ancient. On the other hand, everything works (even the ridiculous hair dryer), is still strong and will last for more than one year.
A nice balcony with a beautiful view, 2 plastic chairs and 1 comfortable easy chair, a table with a ceramic stove, it was nice to sit there and admire the sunset.
Another of the minuses, the presence of only liquid soap in the bathroom, no gel, shampoo, etc. , you will not see there.
If you are a fan of silence, then it is better to settle in 2-storey bungalow buildings, there are larger rooms and many with new repairs.
Territory: Really huge and green, 4 swimming pools (1 indoor, 1 small with heated water, in others it was also quite bearable to swim). 2 slides, from one to. ope to ride, for the other you need a circle. You need to buy a circle, there is no rental. There are 6-7 shops in the main building, of course there are more expensive ones. Children's playground, volleyball, 3 tennis courts (equipment rental is paid, 8 dollars / hour, so lovers take it with them), squash (I don't remember the price), mini golf (free of charge), children's basketball court.
I want to immediately answer the question that I asked myself, the hotel has a joint territory with the Albatros Palace 5 * hotel, you can also walk around it without problems, swim in the pool, you can get both through the beach, in the middle through the through passage, and through the main entrance. And you can also take a walk to the neighboring Albatross across the road, although sometimes you will be told that you have the right to go only to shops, but a couple of phrases in English, a smile will help you.
Food: Excellent, 5 main restaurants (main Si Omar, Mediterranean, Asian (if you are a fan of spicy food go there), German Kaiser and Mexican). Meals are available to you from 4 am to 23-30, although everyone has their own schedule. There is enough food for every taste, cooked quite well, not a la carte restaurants, of course, but we were quite satisfied. By and large, the food in all restaurants is very similar, it differs by 2-3 positions and the way it is prepared.
But there is enough space for everyone, food, take a plate, run through all the restaurants, choose, go out to the terrace and enjoy.
In secret: in the restaurants on the 2nd floor, they make freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast. And in the bars, juices from packages are available, and not just a la Jupi. Try a mango, it's something, or better yet, buy another package at home (only $ 1 in the SenzoMal supermarket) and please your loved ones, and take them to the Sandorra plant that they are ashamed ...: -)
Beach: Super, probably one of the best in Hurghada. Sandy bay, with a convenient sandy entrance to the sea. If you want a sunbed in 1-2 lines, you will need to get up early. There are cool houses on the beach. To compare the beach, look at the neighboring beach of 5, especially at low tide, you will understand the difference, but they have a cool pantone and there are a couple of corals with fish.
For example, a good beach towel in a hotel shop cost $15. , in Cleopatra 40 pounds (8 dollars), arafatka 40 pounds - there for 12 pounds.
If something did not have time to buy excellent shops at the airport in Hurghada, too, at fixed, reasonable prices.
TezTour guides: the main guide in the hotel is Khajag, an Egyptian, an excellent young man. He speaks Russian well, is responsive, friendly, left a pleasant impression of himself.
Sergey also helped him, you generally find a language with him at a glance, it’s a pity he has already left.
Egyptians: 2nd most negative moment. Peculiar people, such as our gypsies, guides, hotel workers - everything is OK, and the rest, I personally did not like much, merchants are generally a nightmare. This is probably why we didn’t go to the city for souvenirs, I was so tired of them near the shops lying around.
To summarize:
If you do not pay attention to some "antiquity" of the number of rooms, everything is certainly not as critical as somewhere else in our country.
That hotel is very worthy, in which the week will fly by like a shot. I advise you to go min. for 10 days.
Well, don’t drop the main mood at customs, and then everything will be just SUPER! ! !
