Were from 04/27/2008 to 05/03/2008 - two adults plus a child (6 years old).
Flight - charter a / c AEROSVIT - a separate story: how do charters work? - They don't work well! Departure is delayed, delayed, postponed and this is normal. The plane was killed and this is also normal. If there is a delay in departure, ask for coupons for free feeding in Boryspil at the Aerosvit desk (for Ukrainians) – it’s difficult to eat, but if you want, you can.
Now about the hotel:
SETTLEMENT.
Thanks to AEROSVIT, we arrived in Hurghada not at 20.00, but somewhere closer to 00.00 (there was no strength to look at the clock). While the valiant Egyptian border guards or customs officers were passing (I still didn’t understand, they are all equally dirty), about an hour passed. The hotel was somewhere at the beginning of the third night. They gave me a number pretty quickly. Where is the number - searched. There were friends - they suggested where the number was. The suitcase brought a block of wood - but it would be better if I brought it myself - there would be targets. We go into the room - there are two beds. We call the reception - where is the cot for the child - will be there now. The cot was brought in an hour later (apparently they woke up the servants). The sleeping child was transferred from the bed to a cot. But they filled the cot - very quickly.
ROOM.
Our room was 3098. The room is large, nice, on the first floor, next to the sea and sea water pool. It is far to go to the dining room, but there is a choice: either the sea or the dining room with a disco. In the room: for adults, two large single beds (quietly two adults fit on one single bed), a cot for a child (good quality with a normal mattress), 21-inch TV, safe, mini bar (used as a refrigerator), air conditioning, one bedside table, table with a mirror, a large wardrobe, a table and two chairs, on the balcony there is also a table and two chairs. In the bathroom: it would be possible to make a light repair, but in general everything is fine, you can ignore the skirting boards and tiles, the toilet seat on the toilet - it’s clear that it’s better at home (both the child and the wife agreed with this). In general, the room is one of the pluses of the hotel.
There are also rooms at the entrance to the hotel, i. e. you still have to go to the hotel (main building), but the rooms are already standing - I haven’t been inside them, but the fact that they are located in the distance near the road is alarming (it seems the numbering starts at 4xxx) - check when you check in. From these rooms there is a bus to the hotel.
NUTRITION.
Tez-turovsky representative at the hotel said that we had a ROYAL!!!!! ! ol / al inclusive - white bracelets, though the "non-Russian speakers" had blue ones, supposedly they were on half board, but this did not stop them from eating with all the ROYALS.
For food, two canteens were found - the main one and the small one (the name is el khal or something like that), if you go down the stairs from the reception, then the right one is the main one, the left one is small. It is better to have breakfast and lunch in a small one - the food is the same, but there are much fewer people and, accordingly, there are no queues - freely and calmly. Between them there is a wagon on which freshly squeezed juices were made at a price of 2 euros per glass - banana, strawberry, melon, orange, grapefruit - you immediately fill out the bill and sign it - then pay at the reception. Juices are a plus, payment is a minus.
Breakfasts. There was nothing to eat for us, maybe I'm spoiled, but every day an egg in the form of a fried, boiled, scrambled egg is hard to endure. Dry food - for an amateur, milk porridge - the child got to suffer. Sausages and sausages - our soy sausage will seem like an unsurpassed delicacy - every day the same paper sausage and spicy (with different names) sausages - once I read that they are of the Viennese type (they brought them from a vein before themselves, so the Egyptian ones didn’t even lie nearby). Vegetables - fruits - it's hard to talk about what was small, quickly sorted out and slowly replenished. In the morning, a few cucumbers, tomatoes and some herbs, carrots, for lunch, too, and for dinner, too. Plus salads of unknown composition and origin - i. e. standard for turkish-egyptian cuisine - undereat for breakfast - get in salad for lunch, etc.
Dinner. Lunch is better than breakfast and worse than dinner.
Dinner. Dinner is the best food.
Bottom line on nutrition: standard for Turkish-Egyptian cuisine - there is a minimum variety, but no more. Few food stalls, lots of people. I am not a gourmet and I knew where I was going, those who have ever been to such places themselves know perfectly well what food is in hotels in Turkey and Egypt.
BARS AND DRINKS.
There are bars, but only the staff who work in them know how they work. I will describe three bars: No. 1 - on the beach, No. 2 - large near the pools, No. 3 - the hall of the central building, under the disco.
No. 1 - beer, alcoholic cocktail, non-alcoholic cocktail, juices such as zuko + yupi, cola, fanta, sprite. coffee + tea from jugs (do not get carried away with this coffee - or then do not be surprised).
No. 2 - beer, alcoholic cocktail, non-alcoholic cocktail, juices such as zuko + yupi, cola, fanta, sprite, alcoholic local drinks (bacardow, royal label, finland, etc. ). coffee + tea from jugs. There is also a coffee machine - it is better to ask for coffee from it - cappuccino, espresso. They make alcoholic cocktails.
No. 3 - beer, tea, coffee, alcoholic cocktail, non-alcoholic cocktail, juices such as zuko + yupi, cola, fanta, sprite, alcoholic local drinks (bacardow, royal label, finland, etc. ). Paid non-local alcoholic drinks. There is also a coffee machine. They make alcoholic cocktails.
In bar number 2 - according to a certain system, beer was running out (there was no beer on Thursday and Friday after 18-00) and it was poured half a plastic glass, the rest was foam. Few glasses were poured - i. e. you take 4 glasses, until you reach the table - the foam is gone - we have only two full glasses and 200 grams each. You go for new ones - a dissatisfied face does not want to pour new ones. This bar also has a shift change around 18-19.00, about which it is not written anywhere.
It is better not to abuse alcohol cocktails - the composition is unknown, the result in the morning is clear.
Bars are definitely open until 02.00 - then there is nowhere to drink everything, even if you want to.
It is better to take drinks with you from where you are flying, beer in the arrival duty-free box, or even two, and cool it in the room.
SEA, POOLS, WEATHER.
The sea is clean. There is a pier, but if there is a wave, then getting in and out is very difficult. There are corals on the shore - knee-deep. The pools are good, there are places. For children - only a pool, in the sea a child from the pier along the wave - will not enter or exit. We were not lucky with the weather - the wind was blowing all the time, but it was warm in the sun, cold in the evening.
FUN.
There is a disco. There is a mini disco for children and a mini club. Many thanks to the leader of the mini-club LINE (a girl from the Baltic States) - for the first time the children's entertainment pleased, even very much. Enticers go on excursions, massages, ATVs around the hotel. It is necessary to bargain everywhere and very strongly. ATVs cost 40 dollars, they talked for two for 70, the next day they talked for 30.
SERVICE.
Room cleaning is good (you can leave a dollar, you can not), cleaning in the dining room, bars is bad, shaken off the table onto chairs - look at what you sit on, tables in bars and counters are washed once a day. Cleaning the territory is bad, there are glasses on the paths, sometimes they break. I specially observed - one broken glass lay on the steps for two days - it did not interfere with anyone from the servants. Enticers who walk around hotels are very annoying, they probably have it in their blood - if people are relaxing, you must definitely come up and stand for about five minutes to immerse yourself about how cool they are doing massage and excursion. Shops on the territory - in the village (Hurghada) prices are much lower. Bargaining is necessary everywhere, but they are weakly inferior and constantly dragging you in, and if you don’t go in, then they will follow you with curses. Therefore, think about whether it is worth going to such stores, in which almost all souvenirs are from China, probably hookahs from China. Souvenirs can also be bought in the tents of Hurghada airport - they are all the same everywhere.
CONTINGENT.
Probably 50 to 50.50 Russian speakers, 50 non-Russian speakers.
TOTAL. You can ride, but not for everyone.
Flight - charter a / c AEROSVIT - a separate story: how do charters work? - They don't work well! Departure is delayed, delayed, postponed and this is normal. The plane was killed and this is also normal.
