Comparative characteristics of 2 hotels - Club Azur and Royal Azur.
We rested here from January 3 to January 17.2011. The structure of vacationers is 4 families with children.
2 families rested at the Club Azur hotel (my parents and I), and the other 2 families rested at the Royal Azur hotel.
Upon arrival, you are given a hotel card, where your number is marked. You can, looking at the map, ask for another room - they give it without any problems and any additional payments!
I must say right away that the food was tastier in Club Azura. It seems to be the same dishes, but the chefs are different and everything is cooked differently. There are no bracelets and therefore we went to eat with them, and they all decided that they Azure is tastier and the restaurant is even more convenient there.
The rooms are large everywhere, but in Club Azura the rooms are larger than in Royal Azura. The bathrooms are larger and the tiles in the bathrooms are more beautiful. Baths are everywhere in Royal Azura.
Club Azura has baths ONLY in family rooms. We were moved there a few days later at my request. The rest of the rooms have a shower and a tray.
The territory is bigger and more beautiful in Royal Azura.
The pools were barely heated. We all swam in the sea because the water there is not much colder and because we never swim in pools at all, we don’t like bleach.
The water in January, in the sea was +21, +22. It was cold for me (but I’m generally a terrible chill), especially to go into the water, but when you do go in and start swimming, you warm up and don’t want to get out of the water at all. Especially it was great to swim and realize that it is now -26 in St. Petersburg, and my child and I are swimming in the sea!
The air temperature was + 25, +28 and even +30 for several days in January!
I very often travel with a child so as not to freeze in the eternal dampness of St. Petersburg and therefore I am looking for hotels with good food and good playgrounds, so my reviews are focused on mothers with children.
Ramps are everywhere in hotels.
The children's club is DEFINITELY better, more beautiful, more interesting in Royal Azura!! ! How I was looking for this information! I wrote to those who had a rest there, but alas... Everyone wrote to me that they only swam in the pools all day and did not go to the kids club . Even those who wrote reviews about these hotels could not tell me anything, only that it was not far to go from one children's club to another. Obviously, they themselves did not go, so they figured that it was not far.
I’ll tell you far, because based on this we chose Club Azur (and also because the coral reef is located in Club Azur and everyone goes to it to swim and admire this wondrous beauty of the Red Sea).
Children's clubs and playgrounds are located on the same territory. It takes 15 minutes to walk from one children's club to another. Along the beach.
Just imagine how you and a small child walk several times a day on the sand, the child squeaks, asks for handles, the stroller does not go through the sand, and you go and persuade the child not to be naughty because it’s good on the playground. The child falls silent for a minute, goes joyful, cheerful step and then again begins to whine.
We didn’t go alone, I saw that other children were also capricious, and then they couldn’t be taken home from the playground at all - I had to drag them in my arms, screaming to my room. How I then envied those who lived in Royal Azura and the playground was right near their number!
It was very wild for me to see that children bathe in bleach all day. It’s better on the playground and in the sea! attitude to reviews about the hotel is not clear. Especially on the tour. ru website. It is a pity that the moderators do not delete such photos. A big request to everyone who reads this, take photos of playgrounds in your hotels, because mothers with children also travel and they this information is very important.
Let's get back to the hotels.
In Royal Azura, the kids club is great and the animators work with the kids all day! The animators are not on the table near the kids club, in the fresh air, they make cookies with the kids under a canopy, then they bake it and the kids eat it! The joy of children is no limit!
There are also toys: a megablocks constructor, a lot of high-quality sand sets, cars, dolls, felt-tip pens, pencils, plastic in.
The playground is excellent. A large slide with climbing frames, 2 small slides, swings and the most remarkable thing is a variety of wheelchairs, motorcycles, bicycles. The boys were ready to be there all day. The playground is under a canopy, but part of it is in the sun. , or they can sit in a bar, right behind the site and drink tea with biscuits or someone likes something : )
Of course, every day we went with my son here to the site and he drove cars.
In Club Azura, the kids club is small. Almost always closed. Animators are rarely there, they don’t work with children, the children themselves draw there and that’s it. There are no toys. Only pencils and paper.
On the playground there is one wooden slide, a swing and a broken house. There is something under a canopy, but it is empty there! Maybe it is supposed that in the heat the animators should play with the children at the tables there? The story is silent about this.
Food. Tasty, a lot. Fish, meat, chicken every day. Several times there were large mussels and shells. For the first time in Egypt, I came across mussels at the hotel.
In Royal Azura there is no device where you can take tea yourself! Only devices with milk, cocoa, various "juices" - Yupi, Pepsi, Fanta.
Sometimes there were kettles with ready-made black tea. I drink only green tea, so I had nothing to drink there at all. There is no boiling water at all!
In Club Azura there was such an apparatus and several types of tea bags - green, black, herbal.
Waiters clean up quickly.
Lunch takes place in a restaurant on the beach. The choice of dishes is large. It is very good to eat outdoors.
I had a birthday there. We went to the fish restaurant upstairs (on the 2nd floor) in Club Azur. We sat there alone! tables, very helpful waiters. We ordered several lobsters (they are medium in size) and king prawns. They gave us one lobster. Everything was very tasty. and appliances. It was very nice.
There is a wonderful Italian restaurant in Royal Azura. There are not many people there, the choice is small, but it is very cozy. There is pasta, cheeses, pizza.
Beach.
The beach is large, sunbeds, there are a lot of fences from the wind. The coral reef is located in the Club, but in winter it is very difficult to get on the sea waves and get on it, many fall on sharp stones. You definitely need special shoes so as not to slip. for corals they sell immediately for $ 5 - already without bargaining. In other hotels they ask for 10 and give them at a bargain for 7.8. So go straight to Stella for slippers!
Those who come to Azur hotels for the third time are given a VIP passport. We have already issued such passports for ourselves.
In principle, there are no privileges - only the presence of terry bathrobes, terry slippers and a free extension of the room on the day of departure, which is also very nice. They also brought us beer, juice and cookies, but we don’t drink beer and we gave it to friends, and the child drank the juice. By the way, there is good juice in Egypt - see the composition on the label. It is better to buy with pulp - there is even more juice.
Several times we went to a disco in the Club and in the Royal, and it was fun there and there. There were people and everyone was dancing.
We went to the city. To Senzomol. It is the first one when you leave Makadi. A large store. Supermarket.
We didn’t take excursions because we have already been to Egypt so many times that we have seen everything. We go there every winter, in January, like to the country house, it was our tradition because there were very cheap tours, not far to fly and the sea in winter! More we won’t eat. Prices now for GOA and Thailand can be found the same in January, and the flight, if it used to be 4.5 hours, now it’s 6! It’s even 5 to fly to the UAE, but here 6 flew back and forth! Horror!
The hostilities did not touch us. We sat quietly in the hotel. Everything was calm in the hotel. We went to Hurghada by taxi, everything was also calm.
We were satisfied with the rest. As always, the Azur network is on top! Service, attention to the reception, food, rooms, I liked everything.
We did not have any cockroaches, mice, ants and mosquitoes.
They cleaned the room perfectly! They washed the floor every day and even moved the beds! Baksheesh was left : )
After this hotel, we immediately went with the child for 2 weeks to another new hotel, also of the Azur chain. About it, in my other review.
