We flew to Egypt for the second time.
Bought a tour at the agency Let's go with us for 1000 c. u. e. for three with a child of 4 years. Join UP flew, we were lucky, the flight was not delayed, only postponed for 4 hours, but we were warned in advance.
The tour was taken in mid-June. It was quite hot, 40 degrees on average.
!! ! ARRIVAL!!!
Upon arrival at Hurghada airport, we immediately went for a visa, a guy with a JOIN UP sign meets us, we went where they called us (to the left), there visas were $ 27 per person, in the window on the right side of the visa for $ 25, knowledgeable people immediately Went there because we were not aware of overpaid.
When leaving the airport, who is very important and needs the Internet, buy a SIM card at the airport,
$ 10 for 20 GB, Orange operator, tariff (purely for the Internet), they say the quality of mobile Internet is good, I didn’t buy it myself, I could do without mobile Internet.
From the airport to the hotel, the road took 1.5 hours, we were the last to be brought in, before that vacationers were brought to other hotels.
!! ! ACCOMMODATION!!!
The user pat23ap described the settlement very well and in detail, there’s not even anything to add! Here I saw other comments "no extortion with surcharges" this is not so, maybe you did not get Mohammed from the reception, but he brazenly extorts money from some, starting from 50 USD. e. arguing that he gave the number better than we were supposed to, in fact it was so, but no one actually asked him to do this, he gave him 10 c. u. e. left not satisfied, the more modest said that they gave 50 cu. e. and did not argue.
!! ! ROOM!!!
Number 2 rooms, everything is new. In the living room there is a soft folding sofa, a wardrobe, a safe, a refrigerator with a free mini-bar (the child really liked water, cola, fanta, juices in small packs, the cleaner updates the bar every day when cleaning the room) a kettle in the room, coffee, tea, sugar . In another room there are 2 beds with orthopedic mattresses. There is a TV in every room, these TVs work as routers, they distribute WI-FI.
The Internet is not bad, but it often disappeared, especially naturally, when everyone returned to the rooms, the equipment could not cope with the peak load. Terrestrial TV did not work for them yet, they said that it was in the plans, they would soon connect it, and we don’t watch TV at all at home, so youtube was enough for us.
Shower, hot water, new plumbing. Cleaning every day, we left a dollar, and we swans on the bed. The building has 6 floors. When we were already settled on the 6th floor, we lived on the 4th. The view from the rooms that are inside the hotel is very beautiful, on the sea!
In the building, repairs were underway on other floors, sometimes we heard a perforator and a knock (but it did not bother us).
The air conditioning worked well, but a little noisy, it did not affect sleep.
No mosquitoes were seen.
!! ! FOOD AND DRINKS!!!
The main restaurant near the reception, and 4 restaurants, you can visit any 2 restaurants during your stay for FREE: Italian, Egyptian, Mexican and Chinese, not all of them were working at that time, they were still being completed. We liked the Mexican, it was very tasty.
The food is good, but it did not change dramatically every day, 80% of the dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner are the same.
Meat: lamb, chicken and beef. Seafood: fish, squid, every other day: shrimp, crabs.
Sweets: cakes, pastries, croissants.
Fruits: melon, watermelon, peaches, plums, oranges, apples, grapes daily.
Vegetables: Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce...
Cheeses, sausages, appetizers, soups.
Ice cream from 15.30 to 17:00 in a bar near the beach.
The alcohol is not bad, my head did not hurt), the beer seemed to be the tastiest.
!! ! SEA AND POOLS!!!
For me, the biggest plus of Egypt is the sea, coral reef, a lot of fish, turtles, rays, moray eels).
I strongly recommend to everyone who flies to rest in Egypt to get a mask with a snorkel. The sea and the beach are clean, the sunbeds are good, not dead, sandy wide beach, it’s convenient to enter the water, every day in the morning, somewhere from 8, and until about 15.00 the water leaves, after 15:00 it comes, the depth is just above the knees, for adults you can lie in the water, it will be great for children.
Up high tide
Or
You will have to go across the sea to the lagoon in order to take a dip, chest-deep, but here you definitely need coral walkers!! ! otherwise, you could have been injured!
Or
You will have to go to the sea from the pontoon, the pontoon is quite long, it belongs to the neighboring Tropitel hotel, it is not enough for 2 hotels, there are 20 sun loungers with umbrellas on the pontoon, they are constantly busy, as people come at 07:00 and put your towels in there.
For people who do not know how to swim, there are vests, for those who did not have enough vests, they stand splashing on the descent stairs, which do not allow you to comfortably enter and leave the sea.
For those who know how to swim, the entrance from the pontoon is convenient, because you immediately dive from the side of the reef and watch the fish.
Or
Swimming from the pier, and sunbathing on the beach, is not convenient, but sometimes it was necessary.
There are 6-7 pools in the hotel, basically everyone liked to hang out in the one closest to the sea and the bar) at 18.00, all the pools are closed, everyone is kicked out and cleaned or washed.
Towels for the beach and pool are issued on cards, you can change it once a day. Don't lose your cards, you'll have to pay for each lost card, like 30 euros, I don't remember.
!! ! CHILDREN'S ROOM AND ANIMATION!!!
There is a children's room, air hockey, indoor football, billiards, table tennis, rackets with a ball behind the unfinished bar next to it.
The main disadvantage of the playground is that it is in the sun all day, it is unrealistic to be there, the place is not very good. The girls animators offered to bring children for a couple of hours at lunch, so that they would be engaged in them, while the parents could work out with each other). In the neighboring Tropitel hotel, the playground is 100 times cooler, sometimes they took the child there, but 95% of the children there do not understand Russian and Ukrainian.
Children's Animation is, with 20.00 mini disco for kids, our 4 year old was delighted! Animation for adults from 21.00, belly dancing, etc. , once there was a guy, he danced a dance with skirts, it was beautiful!
Along the coastline there is a promenade, 8 km long. we took a golf cart for $ 20 and rode along the promenade, we got to the end, we liked it, you can also rent bicycles, mopeds, on which you can ride along the entire promenade and see all the beaches of the hotels located along the coast.
!! ! STAFF!!!
The staff is friendly, friendly, in the restaurant the waiters serve in white shirts, sometimes they serve drinks, although in the main restaurant there was one of the most chubby, who himself asked for 2 cu. i. e. when he brought drinks a couple of times, he gave him a tip once, but he had to run around a lot). But no matter how you twist the tip, they love it very much, the more tips, the more loyal the attitude towards you.
P. S. Since we wrote a review for several days, we hope it will be as useful as possible for you). We tried to write objectively and to the point. In general, they were satisfied with the rest.
