Firstly, I want to say right away that we had nothing to compare, since we were with my wife for the first time in Egypt and, in principle, abroad too. We traveled at the end of November 2012.
The first thing we encountered was the airport in Hurghada, we stood at the customs registration for about 2 hours, a lot of people were hot and stuffy. But since we came to rest and there is no turning back, we endured all this disgrace with optimism and Russian perseverance. We passed passport control and we are already met by representatives of TEZ TOUR and sent to the place of boarding the bus. We left the airport and walked about 200 meters, here we are in the TEZ TOUR bus. They brought us to the hotel there, too, was met by a representative of the tour operator and suggested where to go and what to do. We didn’t wait long at the reception for about half an hour, but it was worth it, since we got the room in the new Seagal and I’ll say the room is decent in every respect. I want to say a big thank you to the Russian girls working at the reception for their help. To be honest, I didn’t pay anything as they say in the reviews, but simply treated me to a bar of bitter Russian chocolate (which almost melted in my pocket). They gave us electronic keys and cards for towels (on the beach you give a card you get a towel and in the evening, vice versa, for losing a towel or cards, a fine of 20 American money), I didn’t have time to take my suitcase when some kind of Arab shouted something and a guy ran up to me and explained in broken Russian that he should carry my things, I was surprised and, in principle, I don’t mind (service). Yes Another important aspect, we arrived at the hotel at about 13.00 (according to their time) and we were immediately settled without waiting for 14 hours (check-in time).
The room, I repeat, was in New Seagal, on the second floor overlooking the indoor pool and palm trees (we really liked it).

We came to the beach for the first time, there are no places, all the sunbeds are occupied. I find a guy from the servants and explain the situation (to be honest, I gave 1 dollar) and after five minutes I have four sunbeds covered with towels in a good sunny place near the sea (that's what the life-giving dollar does).
I can’t say anything bad about the food, there was just a lot and they ate in abundance, as they say, 24 hours a day. Here is their alcohol bodyazhny. But if you have a strong desire, you can fill them with wine, especially. There was a lack of herring and dried roach. For food, a rating of 4+.
Excursions booked in the evening Hurghada and Paradise Island. To be honest, excursions are not worth the dollars that they ask for. Excursions were ordered from a tour operator, rating 3+.
And of course, for what everyone comes here this sea. The sea is simply gorgeous and most importantly clean (be sure to take a mask and snorkel for swimming) the sensations are simply not real, as if you are swimming in an aquarium with colorful fish, rating 10+.
And one thing I realized that it’s definitely necessary to go on vacation, and despite the bad reviews (of course, you need to listen).
Oh yes, the most important thing about the hotel did not write. We lived, as I said in Novy Sigal, the hotel itself is clean; the cleaners wash the tinder and clean up after the tourists 24 hours a day. I even asked our cleaner if they have a weekend, to which he replied that they have work and glory to Allah. The room was all working toilet air conditioning shower. Plasma really stubbornly did not want to show us Russian channels, but I defeated it by typing (settings and TV menus in Arabic). And what tricks he did to us from towels, his wife was delighted. We left him one dollar every other day. The hotel was rated a solid 5.
To the one who nevertheless read my opus to the end of a good, calm vacation of the gentle and hot sun of the warm and gentle sea.
P. S. Reading reviews of many food poisonings, we stocked up on a first aid kit, and thank God we brought it home unopened. Follow the basic rules of hygiene and everything will be fine.

It is strictly forbidden to drink their water from the tap, even rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth, use only bottled water. We were brought to the room 6 bottles a day.
Good luck to everyone, have a good rest and if you have any questions, write and I will answer if I know.
