Trip in December

Written: 9 june 2010
Travel time: 27 november — 13 december 2007
I went at the very end of the season - in early December to rinse a 4-year-old child in the sea. But it turned out that cold winds blow at this time and the location of the hotel allows you to feel it in full. It was better to choose a hotel located in the bay.
Due to the off-season, the occupancy of the hotel was low.
Animation is mediocre, probably also because of the off-season. But more or less for children: mini-disco, baked pizza, St. Nicholas Day was arranged with costumes, artificial snow and Santa Claus riding a camel - then the Georgian girl Nana worked, it's all thanks to her.

The food is not bad, that is, no one was poisoned, but not to say that it is delicious, as in Turkey, there are few fruits. Soups are very tasty. Beer is good, ice cream is good, milkshakes too. There was a shortage of pancakes at breakfast - 2 pancakes per nose (but Russians know how to deal with shortages, don't they? ; ) ). There were no juices - they ran out in the middle of our stay.

Staff attitude is good. Especially tried the waiters in the restaurant, from early morning until midnight.
The children did not like the entrance to the sea - it is coral, the maximum depth near the coast is knee-deep, but still there was no desire to shake, perhaps because of the wind.
The water in the pools was icy, in the sea it was warm, but it was cold to get out. A lifeguard is always on duty on the pontoon and does not allow you to swim far.
Cleaning in the room is nothing, but I would still rather clean up. It's good that all the plumbing was new, clean towels, beach towels, heaps. In the room there was a kettle + tea + coffee set - it really helped out on cold winter evenings.
Safe in the room for free.
The location of the hotel is not the best - there is nowhere to walk in the evening, it seems to be half an hour away from Hurghada. Although there is absolutely nothing to do in Hurghada. All their products like oils, corals, suitcases, t-shirts and bags are complete garbage.
Other hotels were being built in the neighborhood. Now they probably lined up, pieces 2-3.
On all excursions it is sooo far to go, except for boats with a transparent bottom. That is, entertainment for adults is as follows: The sea, which is difficult to spoil, volleyball, yoga in German, massage, disc dance. Aerobics and belly dance were presented not very well by the guys from Morocco.
The SPA-salon in the hotel is also bullshit - prices are too high for such services. And their cosmetics are homemade, from what was at hand. There are rooms for 1 person, and there are rooms for 4! Do you want to lie covered with a mask, so that a German is massaged to your right, and an Englishwoman to your left?
But the salon is in demand - one must somehow spend time.
ATTENTION! Egyptian drivers are not very punctual - the bus can easily leave a little earlier than the appointed time.
In Hurghada, on the street, they have a habit of seeing a child to stretch out their hands to him - do not hesitate to sharply pull, but it’s better not to take a child to the city at all.
