Travel time 06/05/2009-06/26/200.21 n 22 days 3 standard rooms. Tez-tour, Transaero, individual transfer.
Choosing a hotel: painful, long, I wanted too much at the same time. We chose between several Azurov hotels in Hurghada. Bribed flattering reviews of previous vacationers. All of them are true and positive and negative at the same time.
The hotel is really great if you:
- carefully read the previous reviews and understand where you are eating;
- have at least a primitive knowledge of the English language (uncritically);
- do not scatter food leftovers in the room, do not pour drinks on the tables and the floor, because you are aware that you are in the desert and no matter how much you clean your room, ants may appear.
The rest turned out to be wonderful, but I will focus mainly on the shortcomings - it can be useful to someone (it was useful to us), so that there are no illusions and disappointments. Since there are more than enough objective reviews about the merits of the hotel.
Road: Flight - there according to the schedule, back delay for 6 hours. I was pleasantly surprised by the calm reaction of compatriot passengers (without tantrums) and the carrier. The malfunction was discovered just before takeoff, they kept it on the plane for 40 minutes, then unloaded it, fed it.
Boundary formalities strained me exclusively, tk. I had to fill out 2 cards for 9 people. For children, it was more like an attraction. 50 minutes after landing and we are in a minibus. They refused the services of an accompanying guide, I wanted to sleep (which he was very happy about). 1 hour 50 minutes with a stop of 10 minutes and we are at the hotel. We didn’t experience any special strains with the transfer, although we ourselves and the children were tuned in to horrors. The roads are good, there are few cars, the driver is adequate, there are no terrible serpentines. The picture outside the window is monotonous, but bewitching with lunar landscapes.
Accommodation: baggage was taken from the car in an unknown direction, brought to the reception, registration of questionnaires. My attempts to move into 2 bungalows or a red villa did not inspire the children and the receptionist at the same time. Initially, 2 numbers were offered together, and one, through 3 numbers. He explained that it was inconvenient for us, in response, another option was offered - all three rooms are nearby, 2 are already ready, and one will be ready in 30 minutes. It suited us, in reality it turned out that he was ready in 10 minutes.
The hotel guide was seen once on the day of arrival, he told everything, he didn’t hang noodles, he informed about the departure in advance. We didn't need anything more from him.
Rooms. Building 3 (far), 2nd floor, numbers 3214.3215, 3216. There are no special differences. At 14 there is a smaller balcony, in the rest it is 9-10 meters, at 15 all the electrics worked without a card, and at 16 there was an additional floor lamp, that is, it is much brighter in the evenings.
Everything is alive, not new, but solid. It's nice to be in the room. The bathroom is spacious, you need to watch the water: the water temperature can change abruptly and unpleasantly, especially for a child. There really is no brush, as well as bags in the trash cans.
The appearance of insects is possible, they are fought with, processed, but once even the youngest was bitten at night. Unpleasant, but not critical. You just need to keep that in mind.
Territory: will not surprise those spoiled by the delights of landscape design, but very beautiful and conducive to a pleasant stay. For 3 weeks, half a day they dug a hole under one of the palm trees and for 5 days they restored something next to the small pool (near the bungalow). No noise, no discomfort: silence and grace. Guarded, there are no outsiders and traders.
Meals: in short - good, lively all-inclusive. There were no gastrointestinal infections and disorders in 9 people for 3 weeks. Yes, carrot juice is diluted with water. Yes, there is no abundance and choice of dishes in Turkey. Yes, if you eat excessively, there can be problems. Make adjustments and enjoy life. Try a little and find what you need. We didn’t go to Abu-Lu-Lu (a paid restaurant), in other food outlets (Cashier Pesta pizzeria, bars on the beach and by the pool) - everything is decent.
Beach:
Comfortable, they clean it periodically, I can’t say that they lick it, but they don’t let the garbage lie around for a long time. The waves came only 3 or 4 times and from the ships, watching which becomes entertainment. Pebbles strip 10 meters to the water and 2 meters in the water.
It is not large, but it is necessary to step carefully. Beach slippers are not needed if you look under your feet and do not run headlong. On the left side of the pier, about 7 meters from the shore, there is a dense coral flower about which the eldest daughter managed to scratch her leg. There are a bunch of stones nearby, 2 or 3 hedgehogs are warming under them. On the penultimate day, the eldest son decided to rush into the water with a running start - he scratched his heel. The remaining 16 legs remained intact and intact. 1 day out of 22, a lost hedgehog was drifting along the right half of the beach. That is, by Egyptian standards - a wonderful children's beach.
Fish in 3 places:
at the pier
on the right half of the beach in the middle of 50-60 meters 3-4 coral bushes,
outside the hotel to the left, behind the lantern 200 meters (go from 10 to 15 minutes without reaching 50 meters to huge tanks in a fenced area) 30-40 meters from the shore. The third place is the most interesting.
There is no toilet on the beach - either to the pool or to the Kassa pesto.
The sea is fabulous, warm and calm from 25 to 29 degrees. Although in the early days the younger children could not squish for a long time.
Staff. The vast majority are very good-natured, friendly and caring. We were treated very well, although everyone is treated like that
Waiters can get carried away by flirting with children, but everything falls into place without any problems. Suffice it to say stop. We had one sluggish cleaner, sometimes he forgot to change the towel, sometimes body fertilizer, sometimes toilet paper, sometimes he didn’t clean very well (especially compared to his previous colleague). In a good way, it would be necessary to cheer him up, but spend time on this rest? I don't know how useful this is. It didn't stop us from relaxing. Moreover, he punished himself - he remained without a tip.
They took an inflatable plane into the sea, sent a motor boat after it, caught, got both him and me, the fool, who almost sailed into the port area. They asked me not to do it again.
Contingent. The Russian season ended 5 days before our arrival. There were very few of our (red-bracelet) people, 20-30. At different times of the stay, the hotel was both completely full and half. About half are British, many Poles and Czechs. There are Germans.
All are quiet, peaceful, friendly, pleasant to talk to. Most say hello, as it is even strange after Moscow. More than half come many times, as if to a dacha. One Englishwoman in her 50s said that she came there 18 times. Doesn't look like crazy.
Most are pensioners, there are skiers, there are newlyweds, families with children. But at least a quarter of all the children in the hotel were ours.
I categorically do not understand why June is a dead season for Russians in Egypt. Although there are pluses in everything - prices have dipped, which is great for us.
The heat only started in the last 5 days of our stay. In Turkey at this time there is no longer anything to breathe, but here it is dry and you feel much more comfortable, you do not wrap around. The air conditioner never turned on during the night.
Tours.
We went to Israel for 1 day. Anya Meidebura. Abdullah, Ibrahim and all other fellow organizers are one and the same. With excursions from operators (which are 50-70% more expensive), they carry them in different kibitkas (a new Mercedes, it rustles softly), but everyone has the same program. That is, you can go.
We had 2 overlays:
there was only one check-in to the Dead Sea (usually 2), but by 9 pm we were already at dinner
about 30 minutes in Israel were waiting for some local tourists who couldn't wake up.
It is better not to encounter Israeli medicine. The guy getting off the bus pulled a bunch. Health, of course, is more expensive, but the prices there are not democratic.
Tiresome but the kids loved it.
We also rented a car from the hotel and went to the monastery of St. Catherine. During the day, not at night. Camel safari. They did not climb the mountain of Moses itself, but approached it. Beautiful, interesting, everyone slept on the way back.
Sport
They don’t take money for billiards and tennis, although it is written everywhere that it is paid.
The children became interested in golf (6 dollars per hour), which surprised their parents quite a bit. True, the mind triumphed as the personal wallets emptied, and the bourgeois game was slowly consigned to oblivion.
The volleyball net is really at a height of 200 cm, played five times during the entire stay
Animation in its infancy, we were not interested
Shopping: in the hotel shops one can feel the depraved effect of the monopoly. Prices are appropriate. There are 10 stores in Nuweiba. For $15 (previously it was $10) you will be taken to the village, where the same set of "enthusiastic tourist" is sold at more relaxed prices. The children liked shopping - you can bargain, but they said that it was better in Auchan.
Conclusion: a wonderful, relaxing holiday.
