This is the 6th time in Egypt, I stayed in hotels 4+ and 5, there is an opportunity to compare. In my opinion the hotel is excellent.
We rested according to the Ultra All system. Upon arrival, we were greeted normally, provided a room on the second floor, asked to give two rooms nearby and on the first floor, we traveled with two companies, the first floor was no problem. The rooms are large, spacious, clean, cleaned well and without a tip. Girls are traditionally rabbits, hares from towels.
Meals in two restaurants are standard and additionally, upon reservation, dinner in Italian and Oriental (a la cart) is included in the price of the tour. Food according to Egyptian standards at the level (in the Hilton is not better) salads, vegetables, fish, squid, crabs, beef, rice, pasta. Every evening there is something new on the grill. Constantly watermelons, melons, guava, mangoes - overeat, grapes, apples, about pastries - a lot and tasty. Local traditional drinks - not very good for me. Although the wine is at the level of an inexpensive Chilean. In the Oriental restaurant they pour from bottles !! ! According to the ultra system, only one Royal bar operates from 19-00 to 2-00 at night from imported alcohol: whiskey, gin, vodka, rum - of normal quality. Yes, there is freshly squeezed tomato juice, I took it with ice lime and salt-class, the rest of the juices are packaged. Separately, for a fee, fresh juices are offered everywhere. At the entrance to the restaurant near the bars there is always a set of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. There is a hookah bar - ball.

The territory is well-groomed, dates on palm trees in nets (as in Israel).
Animation is average in all languages ​ ​ including Russian.
Sports - tennis, mini golf, volleyball, boccia, gym.
Coral beach is desirable to have corals. Entrance to the sea along the pantone, 50 meters, an abundance of fish - moray eels, lionfish, barracudas, moonfish, needles, clams, squid, snakes, even saw a turtle - there is something to see. Attention, a small divorce from the local diving center: they offer for 50 euros a descent for 1 hour in the neighboring lagoon, 300-400 meters from the beach. He sailed on purpose, looked where divers are taken on yachts - despondency, the fauna is richer near the beach.
TWO MOMENTS OF LOCHODROMA: the first - upon arrival in Hurghada, we go through registration and pay for a visa on the right in the bank - $ 15, we do not listen to the scurrying guides of travel agencies, even our own! They offer it for 16 bucks too.
second, before departure, I suggest visiting a supermarket of oriental sweets with a 10% discount - this is nothing with those prices that are 3-4 times higher than city and even hotel prices, but as they say - "without a sucker, life is bad. "
