The hotel was chosen for a long time, as three families were going to go - ages from 6 to 67 years. Accordingly, the interests are different: from diving to a rookery on the beach. In the end, Seagull was chosen. The final point in the agony of choice was put by the reviews of two familiar couples who traveled half the world and stayed in Sigall. Vouchers for 11 days were taken from Pegasus - an excellent tour operator, everything is clear, professional - offset.
The most important impression is the old Sea Gull - a Russian hotel, 70 percent were Russian people.
This is the East!! ! and that's why personal relationships are very important - we made friends with people from the staff and everything became much easier.
Take small souvenirs from Russia with you, Alenka chocolate, for example, mixed with baksheesh, they work wonders.
Further in order:
1. The flight is excellent, there are large Pegasus buses at the airport, check-in without baksheesh at the Resort (old building). They offered to move to the Club (new building) for baksheesh - they refused to look.
2.
The room is not bad, the windows are on the Club building, everything is not new, but we were mentally prepared for this. Moreover, they were not going to sit out in the room.
3. The restaurant is large, but in half an hour after the opening there were not enough places - the hotel was packed to capacity. We got used to walking in an hour. The food is bland, but there was always a "dish of the day" so a solid 4-ka. The daughter ate cakes and pies. The waiters are a separate story, we met the waiter Mukhamed, who always smiled and helped with the tables.
4. Room cleaning. You need to understand that they are paid little. We immediately left $ 5 and then every day for a dollar, we talked with the cleaner Ahmed about the family - after that the cleaning took place at the right time for us. He twisted swans, a crocodile, twisted a doll for our daughter - lovely. Cleaning solid Egyptian 5-ka.
5. The beach is sensible behind the new building - be sure to buy a mask with a snorkel ($ 10), there are fish right by the shore, we saw squid and octopus.
6.
On the beach, the first days are overcome by excursion dealers. Little Ahmed - offers a revolving restaurant for $ 13 - be sure to go, take the fish menu, the show program there is 5 points. The belly dance and the twirling boy are just freaky. They took diving from Muhamed for $ 40 - it’s suitable for the first time, but then it’s better to take individual tours, diving in Egypt is a must try. We went to the Sindbad submarine for $ 60 - it's a pity for time and money - we saw the same thing near the shore in a mask. Be sure to go to El Gouna (preferably with Pegasus) - everyone loved it. Motosafari was taken from Fathi (he speaks good Russian, a very obligatory guy) we recommend it to everyone - we liked it very much - just super.
Right there on the beach there is a windsurfing school - it's worth a try, it didn't work for me, and a friend surfed until the day of departure.
There are also parachute flights - the ladies liked it very light extreme, the only thing to ask right away is where the boat is, it happens nearby, we were taken on a motor boat to Sinbad itself, the main adrenaline was grabbed on it.
7. Shopping. Around the hotel, with rare exceptions, snickering and arrogant traders. Walking in the center is a dubious pleasure. We went to MAMSHA street - where the Sinbad hotels are. A decent promenade, many shops, eateries, no one hangs on their hands. Taxi costs $2 - prices are lower, sometimes by 50%. Oils were taken at 2 lb/ml.
8. The water park was launched with us - for children, the very thing, our children from the beach ran there all the time. The water is warm, the slides are not extreme.
9. There were no poisonings, on the third day the most active divers had a slight upset from salty water, everything quickly passed. Be sure to take a protective cream, we used the 40th.
In general, the rest was a success - a lot of impressions.
If we still gather in Egypt, then in SEA GULL.
P. S.
For especially mannered people and melancholics, it is better to choose Goa and the Maldives, and not Egypt in principle.
