A good budget hotel is perfect for a relaxing holiday. The hotel is 1 hour from the airport. There is nowhere to go and a taxi to Hurghada costs 45 euros per car. In the city of Safaga 8 euros per car. There are no shops near the hotel. Nearby is the hotel Imperial Shams Abu Soma Resort 5 * there is a water park. Shams Safaga guests can use the water park free of charge. And also walk around their territory. The hotels share a beach. The territory is beautiful, green, well-groomed. A lot of large cacti similar to trees. Many white herons roam the territory. There is practically no animation. During the day on the beach, water aerobics, music, dancing, disco at the bar. And there really isn't much else to do. The hotel has only two types of rooms. This is the Standard Room they are in the main building. And Bungalow Room are located in one-story bungalows and are located closer to the beach. There are adjoining rooms. Recently there was a facelift in the rooms of the main building and bungalows. Standard. There is only water in the mini bar. Replenished for free every day. There are adjoining rooms. Room with obsolete furniture, but in general the furniture is strong and not very worn. The bathroom has a pretty good hair dryer. Modern flat TV. The bathroom has a bathtub. Balcony. All bungalows with their own veranda. Furniture is not new but in good condition. Modern TV. There is an input for a flash drive. In general the rooms are in good condition. True, if the room is adjacent, then the audibility is decent, so the bungalows are inferior in terms of noise isolation to the rooms in the buildings. We know this because we rested with friends and they lived in a bungalow and we lived in a building. Internet in the hotel is paid and very expensive. It is better to buy a local SIM card with internet. The food is good. But the choice is small. Two types of meat chicken and beef. And no seafood fish. For example, breakfast cereals, milk, toast, croissants. Several types of cheese and local sausages. Small salad table 5-6 kinds of vegetables. Good selection of pastries. Vegetables in batter. There are always several national dishes such as falafel. Fruit salad, yogurt. Eggs, tomatoes with cheese. Baked potato. Prepare scrambled eggs and pancakes. Of the drinks, packaged tea, coffee, but it's not very good. no coffee machine. Not in the morning, but at lunch and dinner at the restaurant bar you can order alcoholic drinks or ask the waiter to bring them. From alcohol, normal beer, no wine, and all Egyptian strong alcohol. There are also three types of powdered juices for breakfast and you can make freshly squeezed juice for 2 euros. Delicious cakes are also baked in the evenings. There are no a la carte restaurants. The all inclusive bar is only open until 12 midnight. The beach is nice wide and long. There is a pier. Entry into the water is gentle. There is a reef about 30 meters from the shore. The reef is quite interesting there is something to see. Umbrellas, sun loungers enough but they are far from new. Plus, we also found an excellent local guide for the excursion program. I recommend everyone to do just that. Hotel guides are arrogant and frighten with all sorts of nonsense and very intrusive. They make no sense. We were recommended an excellent local tab tour company, search by name on the Internet. Service at the level. Prices are many times cheaper than the hotel guide. For example, we took an excursion to Luxor for only 40 dollars, and the hotel offered 95 dollars and we visited three temples when those who traveled from the hotel only two. Lunch is excellent and transportation is comfortable. And the guide not only speaks Russian well, but also told everything in great detail and interestingly. In general, I liked everything and the hotel and everything else!
