1. The hotel was chosen by chance, I liked the price. Declared 5 *.
2. Arrival in Hurghada at 18-35, it began to get dark. There were no problems or delays during the inspection at the airport. A small queue after control (3-4 people) to each of the three mobile operators. Bought a SIM card Etisalat 16 GB of Internet for $ 10, everything went smoothly.
3. Transfer from and to the airport for some reason was individual for us. We arrived at the hotel at about 20-00. The settlement took place quickly. Room 1099, far from the restaurant, but close to the beach. 1st floor is very convenient. The room is good, but you can always find fault with something. Everything worked.
4. Food is traditional, no one was poisoned and starved to death. I liked white grapefruits and dairy products for breakfast. On the 7th day, the kitchen traditionally began to get bored. There were three evenings at La Carte (fish, Italian and Sino-Mongolian-Japanese). Nothing special.

I liked alcohol (rum, tequila, whiskey, wine, beer).
Poured from bottles, I did not notice any wandering. I did not try only vodka. Beer from the refrigerator is cold.
5. We went around the whole bay. The beach is the best in Makadi. Only here its length is ~ 260 m, instead of 560 m, as stated on the site, there is no pier. Instead, sand. . , sunset is great for both children and adults There are small coral islands, colored fish, not seen a large slope. The beach is periodically cleaned. Not new sunbeds and umbrellas, but everything is fine, there are screens from the wind. Seats in the morning were occupied only on the line closest to the sea. There were plenty of sunbeds for everyone. Cute towels, bar nearby, lifeguard, security. BUT. 17.04. In the morning of 2021, they saw small debris and a brown spot near the sea ...Yes, this is it, it is not sinking. They did not swim by the sea. 18.04. 2021 were on a tour and what was on the beach we do not know, but everyone also saw near the waterfront Marina and Orange Bay. When the guide was told about it, he was not surprised at all.
But this is not the fault of the hotel. Apparently, this is often the case in Egypt.
19.04. on the beach the water was crystal clear, but the sediment was not pleasant.
6. The area is just huge, well-groomed and clean. Somewhere construction is underway.
7. Super water park. Large and diverse. For children and adults. Don't go to other water parks!

8. Excursions were bought to Teztur on 18.04. Orange Bay and 20.04 Super Luxor. Comfortable large buses are 50% full. We had 8 seats in Luxor, we had 8 seats, 19 people in the cabin (including two drivers, a security guard, a guide). It is not necessary to go to Orange Bay. Corals liked it. The bay itself is NO. At the entrance, a review of personal speeches. The beach under the canopy is more like a roost for homeless people. In the sea to swim you need to walk about 100 m. Super Luxor is more interesting, but it was + 42 ° C. I do not recommend buying something on a tour. It is not necessary to go to Banana Island at all. You will be shown two sleeping crocodiles, five monkeys and beautiful pigeons, and banana palms.
TezTour organizes free sightseeing tours to Hurghada. You don't have to buy something in Nefertiti. You can also buy something in the shops at the hotel. THESIS tour well done, the organization of tours and excursions are all great, even in small things.

9. The staff is friendly and welcoming if you behave humanely. It's not hard to say hello. I never noticed a manifestation of rudeness, not attentiveness, not respect. Some employees try to communicate in Ukrainian. Bravo!
10. Room cleaning. For ten nights they asked to clean only once (April 20.2021) to change towels and bed linen. The room was inhabited by two adults and neat people, if necessary, took soap, shampoo, toilet paper, tea, coffee ...Cleaning as if done, changed towels, made the bed and only. We forgot to change our clothes, although we left them ...On other days we hung a sign "do not disturb". The staff wanted to clean every day.
11.21. 04.
early in the morning until 05-00 and at night there were small but biting mosquitoes. A fumigator was switched on in the room for the night. It helped.
12. Free Wi-Fi is available only at the reception. It is enough to send short messages.
13. In the hotel you can live in a separate mansion, if finances allow ...Closed area and even dinner (maybe not only) from the restaurant to bring, seeing.
In general, satisfied with the rest and the hotel. We knew roughly where we were going. I did not want to rest in Hurghada, where the beaches and hotel areas are smaller, in Marsa Alam, Sahl Hashish, etc. 7 nights, and then the cost bites.
Advices:
1. Download the application "Home" in advance (not to be confused with "Action") and there will be no problems when returning to Ukraine.
2. Be sure to have pants, long-sleeved shirts, sunglasses, hats and scarves (pairs). All of the above to take with you on excursions, especially to Luxor. Don't forget to get a mosquito repellent.

I do not advise to buy something on excursions, sellers are very active. Better yet, don't take money with you if you're not sure of your steadfastness.
3. Do not rush to buy anything on the first day of rest. Local businessmen immediately see that YOU have just arrived. Then prices will go down for you.
4. Do not exchange dollars or euros for Egyptian pounds. Does not make sense. You will not change them back! And you can pay everything anyway. Bargain wherever prices are not fixed.
