The review will be with nuances that why not in other reviews.
Time: October 2020
Avia: WINDROSE (or Wind Rose).
Flight:
With WINDROSE we fly for the third time. And for the third time - flight delay. The airline is usually disgusting. This time they managed to load everyone into the plane and after that they said that "everything is fine, one part is not working, maybe we will change to another plane. " Another plane was really fitted. After a while, it was announced that "the part has been replaced, we can fly. " And thank you for that. There - A381, back - A380 (seats were not discarded, as in the minibus Bogdan). The usual gossip about food and drink (distributed 0.3 Morshinsky and all). The mass regime in the aircraft is not observed and is not controlled. For some reason, it is difficult for people to sit in a mask for 3.5 hours, and the flight attendants do not care.
Settlement:
In principle - as usual. At the reception, the young man said that he could give "best numbers" for an additional fee.
The asking price is 6 euros per person per day. After 10 nights, 60 euros came out of my nose. They refused.
Gave the keys and the scheme of the hotel with rooms. Thought it was very bad (the most reflected), and offered 30 euros per room. The man agreed, instead of 30 euros they gave him 30 dollars and received the keys to the rooms closest to the sea. Rooms 13XX in a two-storey building. Very Well.
Rooms:
Numbers as numbers. I will not describe. Everything is familiar to Egypt. Who flies to Egypt spends time in the rooms - an amazing person.
In one of the "best numbers": the refrigerator did not work, the kettle flow, the air conditioner did not work and the bidet faucet was leaking. All this was successively repaired, the new refrigerator was brought in 20 minutes.
In general - normal. They cleaned, brought water, changed towels, turned swans and crocodiles.
Room numbers:
• There is no hard soap in the shower.
• Terrible acoustics.
If the door to the room is in the hallway (and the hotel has such, as well as with a door to the street), sleep without earplugs - is absolutely impossible.
Every sound and knock of the door is terribly audible.
• Rooms on the ground floor - without a protected balcony. On the one hand it is very convenient, I went out through the sliding window and went to the beach. On the other hand - there is no fence, dries things and just sit somehow uncomfortable. Maybe who cares.
• Isolated a huge cockroach that was not affected by Gardex Extreme and could only be killed with a sneaker.
Contingent and population:
The sediment is very ambiguous. 80% are Arabs. A different culture, a second mentality, a second world. The European does not understand (I do not condemn in any case! ). If someone is sensitive to outright impudence, loud screams, clouds of grazing children completely dressed in black for women on the beach and in the water - choose yourself a second hotel and do not spoil your vacation.
The attitude to "locals" and "foreigners" is frankly different.
Be prepared that your turn for food or drink will come and you will be frankly faced with a "local" who will be served immediately.
Then he will talk to the waiter about it and leave slowly. And you can't say that he didn't see you, because you stand like a queue and people are behind you too. You just aren't there for him.
We took it for granted. Perhaps they are the norm in culture, we had nothing, because this is their country. Also, if the hotel has lowered the price tag and refocused on the local population - this is the right of the hotel.
The occupancy rate of hotels during the pandemic is a maximum of 50%. In fact, the norm was not met for a day. We got to the local holiday (October 6 - Armed Forces Day). The hotel was packed and it was impossible to find a free table for dinner.
Sanitation and disinfection:
The "trick" of this type of German hotel is sanitary control, even up to hermetically packed cutlery.
The second opinion is held by flocks of crows and sparrows on the tables, as well as staff without masks and gloves, who wrap the cutlery in airtight bags.
Rarely was a staff wearing a nose mask. Mostly masks are lowered or missing, there are almost no gloves.
I walked around the restaurant on the beach like a manager, either sweaty or with a fever, and I was constantly coughing spasmodically.
The temperature of tourists in the hotel was not measured even at the entrance to the restaurants. After the mass departure of the Arabs, the paramedics did not even disappear from the tables.
No one kept the distance.
Question:
This is the most amazing moment.
Food - normal, no frills. A little fruit.
The main restaurant and the beach restaurant were open for breakfast and lunch. In the evening, only the main restaurant was open.
But!
After the local influx fell, the main restaurant was stupidly closed! ??? ? . Yes, I'm not kidding.
As soon as a significant part of the local tourists left, only the restaurant on the beach was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Without air conditioning, with crows, flies and sparrows.
Leave the plate unattended - get the sparrow in the plate. Tin!
One of our companies was poisoned for the first time in eight visits to Egypt. Just in case, take an intestinal antibiotic.
But nutrition has another oddity. And perhaps the most pleasant strangeness of this hotel. Five evening (! ) Completely free (! ) A la Carte restaurants worked at full capacity. Everything is free, including drinks (except wine list). They are located on the promenade between Labranda Club Makadi and Labranda Royal Makadi (Italian - under the reception). According to the rules, you can visit each A La Carte once during your stay. In fact, it is possible twice. It was possible to visit instead of dinner. The coolest - Italian.
Really haute cuisine. Bite, design, serve - just a bimba! Make an appointment and be sure to leave.
Also very good Asian. Then Greek. Then the Cuban. Then a burger. Also on this boardwalk free unlimited ice cream (chocolate, strawberry and (white!
) and Cairo Cafe (special sweets with tea / coffee, which are not in the main restaurants). In general, very, very good. This is a cool feature of the hotel.
In the morning after 9 o'clock you need to stand in line for Guest Relations (nice blonde girl, speaks only English) and sign up. Or (for the most distinguished) - call her at 5115 and sign up in broken English without queuing, and then at 11 come in and pick up the invitations. To record, you need to select the number of any number (ideally - yours), the number of people and time. No base or check - no.
Also, don't forget to order Turkish coffee at the bar near the reception. Very tasty.
Animation, entertainment
There is animation.
There is a team, someone is invited. You can see that they are trying. But we were not interested.
In several places you can see the pipes going into the sea, as well as the pipe that ends right on the beach in the sand and from which flows directly into the sea. It is said that it is water from the shower on the beach (in the shower, everyone usually pees).
Between the right cape and the island - live two lionfish, who saw the slopes.
To the outer reef:
• Or swim / crawl from 450-500 meters into the sea (through a coral plateau about 0.5 meters deep).
• Or go left to the pontoon hotels Stella Di Mare (the pontoon itself is 350 meters).
• Or go right to the pontoon of the Harmony Hotel (attention! There the entrance to the pontoon costs 5 euros! ).
The best reef, as already written in the reviews - is the outer reef of the hotel Stella Di Mare and in the direction of Labranda Royal Makadi. The reef is more beautiful than the Sharma. We are somewhat reminiscent of the charms of the Baron Resorts and Coral See Sensatori hotels. Not the wall, but also the gardens. However, unlike Sharma, the reef in Makada gardens also goes very far into the sea, you can swim and swim (who is not afraid).
The farther from Stella Di Mare and closer to Labranda Royal Makadi and further to Labranda Club Makadi, and further to Harmony, the more dead the reef and the gardens turn into a wall.
Not too many fish. I don't know why. But there were turtles (one even touched), there were eaglets, stingrays, cuttlefish, octopuses.
Wind:
Has always been. We were at Makada in July and now in October.
The wind is always. Here are the winds - the waves crashing on the outer edge of the reef. This is a danger to inexperienced fins. There are fewer waves to the left of the Stella Di Mare. To the right of the Harmony Hotel there are more waves (on the Harmony pontoon the waves break really big).
You burn quickly in the wind because you don't feel the real temperature.
Hurghada:
Do not go to the garden. There is nothing to watch. Dirt, noisy and scary. This is not Charm.
There will be questions - write, I will try to help.
