It's time to write a review about the hotel.
Everything that is written here is true, except for the turtle. Nobody saw her.
I will not describe how the plane was delayed for 18 hours and participation in the blocking of terminal F in Boryspil. It was exhausting but very entertaining to be on strike, thank you everyone. I will still mention the Join up company.
We arrived late, got in 30 minutes from Hurghada to Safaga, thanks to the driver, he was driving at a speed of 160 km / h, I was driving with my eyes closed so as not to see the speedometer, but our fellow traveler went nuts all the time and commented on the speed aloud. I do not sit in the front seats in Egypt and I do not advise you.
We were received at the hotel, fed, settled. The key was prepared, but after a baksheesh of 10 bucks, we heard the sigh of the receptionist, fuss under the counter and the key to the room overlooking the sea.

The room is tired but everything works. Attention girls!! ! No hair dryer!! ! This is a complete fiasco. I always carried a hair dryer with me, even shoved it into my non-shovable hand luggage, someone whispered to me that there is a hair dryer everywhere in Egypt. And here I am, without a hair dryer. Men can laugh out loud now, but they have three hairs on their heads, and I have hair!! ! Now I must say that it was not useful to me, since my hair is always wet from diving in a mask and glamor is not appropriate there.
I liked the restaurant in terms of atmosphere. Poor, but clean, palm trees and other plants. Food is not important for me, my husband has not lost weight, so everything is fine. Beer in bottles, everything else as everywhere. I liked the service, there was no division into Germans and Slavs. The waiter, aged, performed his duties as expected, even brought drinks in advance, which we often ordered. Then a philosophical thought began and I, looking at almost a grandfather, brushed away a mean tear from the fact that he would always wear plates, gave baksheesh to him and the griller. Previously, in Egypt, I was not even given a chance to say thank you. Money, then services, but this is not so.
Sea. This is a fairy tale, everyone is here. Sandy entrance, coral islands, bought another mask near the hotel for 25 bucks. We bargained for a long time, but I still cheated, I think. There is nowhere to go, there is no one to drink with, there are no young people, this information is for those who are used to hanging out. Here only quietly doze, read, write philosophical treatises. Wifi is very expensive, but we bought an orange card at the airport for 20 Gbps for $10. I didn’t take it everywhere, it’s good on the beach, it’s worse in the room and I didn’t take it at the reception. As an alternative, vodafone, but for 10 only 2 Gbps.
Animation. Tse zhah!! ! Arab animators, this is something. We tried, but it didn’t work out, sometimes the contests resembled our post-Soviet weddings with vulgar contests. The biggest drawback is that all the local Arabs vacationing in all three hotels came to us and sang their songs and clapped their hands until nightfall. Here I would rather take a room with a view of the construction site.
But we persisted in going to the animation and even won a bottle of their Arabic moonshine in a music competition.

I must say that we have never had such a budget holiday, we drove and knew where we were going. But we drove with a positive attitude. As a result, we got a lot of pleasure, beautiful sea, wonderful attitude. All the shortcomings and the lack of luxury on the beach, in the bar, old sunbeds, the choice of dishes is not 1001, but much more modest, could not spoil our mood.
And who misses seafood, you can order for 10 fishmenu.
P. S. We saw a stingray, an uncle who thought he was immortal, filmed him near the shore at low tide.
