The flight to Boryspil was not rescheduled and UIA pilot Bogdan took off extremely gently and landed even more pleasantly in Sunny Hurghada, for which many thanks ! ! Free tea, coffee on the plane are terrible, a sandwich for $ 3 - eat or not eat, or take a sandwich and an apple with you, decide for yourself!
SETTLEMENT
We reached Makadi in 40 minutes under guard, (for the first time I saw how the suitcases were loaded onto the roof) they settled quickly, vacationers flew in from Kyiv to 5 rooms, (everyone except us was brought a plate of fruits and I don’t even know what it is connected with 4 rooms welcomed and we are not there) we were all settled on the same floor in building 7 2nd floor our room 7278, (the view is not very interesting on the gallery) the room is large beautiful, (but dull) with various decorations, (the hotel features beautiful lamps) designed for 2 parents and 2 children, (there were 3 of us) we were unlucky in the room there was no hot water (so immediately check the availability of hot water in the room) 2 days we went to the reception and asked to make water, they smiled at us and promised to fix it in 5 minutes, which angered us even more, it’s good that the hotel has a Russian-speaking customer service manager, thanks to her they moved us to building 8 on the 4th floor 8440 there was water, but a few days before departure it took a long time to lower. for parents, 2 beds for children, everything is like everywhere else in Egypt in marble. shower, bath, toilet and bidet, 2 washbasins, this is a standard set. The rooms were cleaned through the sleeves, the plumbing was not particularly washed, the glass doors were frankly stained before us and remained dirty for 10 days, disposable sets (shampoo, balm, gel, soap ) they brought a couple of times, the bed seems to have been changed 3 times in 10 days, then the towels were changed every day (but we personally got such shabby, yellow ones) a strange lock on the doors, be careful! if anything, run to the reception, but better to the manager who speaks Russian! . . cleaning for 2. . Mosquitoes in the room, we turned on the fumigators! WI-FI-only at the reception or buy their card!

BEACH
We decided not to bother and enjoy the sea, it's gorgeous here! very salty, very transparent, a great beach for children and adults (beach slippers can be taken, or you can take them without a bottom) the stones are fenced, be sure to take fins and masks and underwater cameras - the reef is gorgeous, turtles, stingrays, moray eels, and a variety of fish is just amazing! cleaning in the room just pales in comparison with all this. The beach is clean, the sand is rammed on the beach, waiters run around and carry drinks, beer, cocktails, mango juices, apple, pineapple, guava (it helps a lot from the throat) Pepsi and similar drinks can be poured from the machine - take with you a change of 25.50 cents and they will be with you all the rest and you will be the best for them! Just fit ask are you Russian? it is useless to say that you are Ukrainian or Belarusian, they will offer to bring a bottle to the room for $ 5, whether you need it or not, decide for yourself. Also look for towels (I THINK THE BEACHBOYS ARE STEALING THEM) on the beach if you go for lunch hand over your towels (and take your cards) after dinner take a clean one without problems, than then run and find out who took your towel . . after dinner people on there is very little beach and you can lie down anywhere, don't worry about it! The beach once again is very cool waves and no wind, it's a bay! ! On the beach, flies bite terribly, there was an allergy, take insect sprays, the Germans lay with fly swatters and were glad that everything was environmentally friendly . . maybe they are right! there is a camel on the beach for an additional fee! Excellent water parks for children, I wanted to play there myself, an adult just loved skating in circles very much ! ! we were in the off-season because the sea water pool was under renovation, it's a pity, one pool was heated, the rest were not. the lazy river didn't work at full capacity, but we liked it!!
RESTAURANT!
Half of the restaurant was closed because there were few people, but the food is quite decent, the breakfast is classic - eggs, muesli, yogurt. take mezim! ! lunch with soup + pizza, barbecue quail + lamb + fish, squid and others, from vegetables cucumbers, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, cabbage, carrots, pomegranate fruits, guava, orange, tangerine, melons a lot, someone is missing something, walk along restaurants around the territory there are about 20 of them - food is free everywhere and drinks for an additional fee (we didn’t have enough health to sit down so much) in the evening even more plentiful - crabs, salmon, squid, lamb, desserts . . there is a dish from the chef - stuffed squid, turkey, grilled chicken, baked apples, oranges! AND EVERYTHING ELSE . . we must pay tribute to the fact that squids are cooked here all sorts of different ones - try it ! ! there are a lot of steamed things for children . . you won’t be hungry ! ! alcohol if you give $ 1, the waiters will wear it without problems and not diluted, decide for yourself . . we were served by a wonderful waiter, smart, tried his best ! ! Huge thanks to him! ! Then you go up to the Lime bar where cocktails are available for an additional fee, alcohol is brought without problems, live music is played - saxophone, guitar, or belly dance! then we go to the Aligator bar and have a great time at the disco and animation! WATER IS AVAILABLE IN ANY BAR FOR FREE!!

DEPARTURE
We flew at 8 in the morning, called, woke up at 3-30, gave breakfast with us. To 3 croissants, a banana, a tangerine, from the evening we took 2 pizzas with us, in general, it was enough for us to fly! oh, 5 water with a hotel sticker and sealed can be carried with you, they are not taken away at customs. Again, we went to Hurghada with security, cheated at the airport, now the new conditions per person are not more than 23 kg, not for all family members, but per person, be careful ! ! on the field, everyone takes their suitcase and it is loaded onto the plane, SAFETY MEASURES! Back, the pilots shook us a little, in general, everything is fine!
WHAT VERY STRONGLY DID NOT LIKE; THE COUPLE WHO FLEW WITH US HAD $1300 in the safe! TO THE GREAT SORRY THEY FOUND THAT IN THE SAFE THEY HAVE CHANGED 500!!!! ! THE HOTEL BLAMED THEM IN ALL SINS AND SAID THAT IT IS THEY BRING THE FAKE THEM! ! TO AVOID SUCH SITUATIONS, TAKE MONEY ON THE CARD WITH THIS WITHOUT PROBLEMS THERE IS A ATM IN THE HALL OR SMALL MONEY FOR 20 . . THE HOTEL IS VERY AGGRESSIVE IN CASES OF ANY PROBLEMS!
