Hotel ratings by criteria:
Returned from Egypt. Impressions fresh, so I'll try to write in more detail.
It was not the first time in Egypt, but to our surprise the hotel was very decent (compared to previous trips), we traveled according to the ALL INCluded system.
1. Settlement.
It happened quickly, we arrived at 11:30, at 12:00 we were already unpacking our luggage in the room. Immediately upon settlement, demand the key to the safe so as not to return for it again, while you will be asked to fill out another form, the safe is absolutely free, in the form the amount of 500 pounds means a fine for losing the key.
Do not give anything at the reception - you will be accommodated normally, while there will be foreigners nearby (Germans, etc. ), unlike our compatriots, they do not make noise at night and do not have the habit of returning to the room at 1-2 am.
The room, surprisingly without baksheesh, was overlooking the sea, spacious, excellent furniture, two Russian channels, but you could only watch ORT, the quality of the second broadcast was not very good.
It is better to settle in the main building if you like to take a walk in a disco; calm people who want to go to bed at 11 pm will not succeed. In rooms like Laguna they carry on cool bugs, also exotic in its own way, order such a room immediately when buying a tour, you will not regret it.
2. Food.
According to All Incl, free food in three restaurants (a total of seven restaurants and five bars were counted in the hotel). Drinks are free of charge in all bars and restaurants without exception (except for the central bar on the beach). A list of all restaurants with descriptions in Russian was given to us by the hotel guide. They feed very well. Kudos to the head chef. We recommend soups and a special dish in the central restaurant Alladin (first floor of the main building).
On the beach, order a fresh pineapple (worth 25 pounds = 5 bucks), it's worth it. Whiskey served very high quality, not bad beer. In general, alcohol is excellent.
In the lobby, the bar seems to be paid, but in fact the menu says that according to the AI system, almost everything is free, at least they paid only for ice cream, but our ice cream is better, so you shouldn’t take it. Take fresh juices, they are cheap by our standards, but high-quality from real ripe fruits.
By the way, about food, in the reviews they wrote about the queue to the restaurant, so it’s only to the main restaurant, I advise you to familiarize yourself with the location of all restaurants on the first day, then you won’t have to stand in line at the main one like sheep (the queue consisted mainly of ours). By the way, the feeding schedule is drawn up in such a way that you can eat almost at any time, except for the night, of course.
3. Sea.
The sea is a paradise for people with children or those who cannot swim. About 50 meters deep is half a meter. EVEN A NON-SWIMMING PERSON CAN GET DEPTH ENOUGH TO SEE CORALS AND FISH.
Of course, corals are inferior in beauty compared to Sharm El Sheikh, but underwater photos are better because of the shallow depth.
If you swim to the depth you will see two small coral reefs at a depth and a lot of fish. It is better to buy masks and fins right away either at home or in Hurghada (there are very expensive shops in the hotel). If there are few people in the sea, it’s better not to swim, then the fish are not afraid and can bite (some freaks apparently fed them and in one place there is always a whole flock of them).
4. Beach.
Coarse sand. Very clean and well maintained. Amazed by the abundance of sunbeds. Even after sleeping until 11 o'clock, you can always find a place to lie down. The length of the beach is huge about 800 meters. There are three bars on the beach (two on the sides are free and the central one is paid, by the way there are fresh ones).
There is a good program on the beach: you can do gymnastics or aerobics in the sea or belly dancing lessons (men can stare at both their own and others), volleyball, tennis, chess, golf, and some other game with balls. There were comrades offering massage - DO NOT TAKE SHIT, just waste your money, you can’t compare with Turkish baths.
5. Shopping.
Wherever you are or wherever you go, do not take anything. You will still have the cheapest shopping at the airport when you fly to Duty Free. Better write down a list of what you want to buy and refrain from buying, then buy much cheaper. From experience, no matter how we bargained, we still got the price from the Duty Free airport, so save money.
6. Excursions.
Luxor is highly recommended, it will certainly appeal to lovers of antiquity and exoticism.
Sahara Park - combines several trips, quad biking in the desert, camel riding, four-wheeled buggies, visiting real Bedouins, a good oriental concert, hookah. We advise. Husband really liked it.
Boat trip - SHIT, do not take a yacht or a walk or fishing. It is forbidden to fish near the corals, you will be taken out to the open sea. 35 people were stuffed onto the yacht, while the catch was 2 fish. My husband, a professional fisherman, caught one of them, there were no more fish at the place where we were stopped.
The promised paradise island was not paradise at all, no trees, no corals, no fish, lying under umbrellas for a fee, if you don’t want to pay, lie on the bare sand - a complete scam.
A trip to Hurghada for the purpose of shopping is better to do not by a hotel taxi, but leave the hotel, walk 200m to the road and catch a car, almost the same money (15 bucks one way, you can bargain up to 10 dollars if there are two of you), but much more time for shopping and more convenient.
In general, remember that in Egypt the service is bad everywhere, from the height of the experience of our trips, this hotel pulls all 5 stars. Even if you are not going for the first time, you will not regret it.
I wish you all a pleasant holiday.
