In Egypt for the first time, so perhaps someone will find the review more enthusiastic than the rest. . )) But I'll start in order.
1. Arrival and settlement.
The hotel is located in a closed picturesque area of ​ ​ Sahl Hasheesh, 18 km from Hurghada. At the entrance, they check documents and transport with a mine detector, there are no local clingy people and traders, only hotel staff. In a word, they guard the calm rest of tourists, which was one of the factors in choosing a hotel in Sahl Hasheesh. Transfer from airport to hotel was comfortable, big bus from Sun International. We arrived with a few more tourists from Ukraine in the evening, around 19.00 local time. We were seated quickly, literally within minutes. At the reception we were met by a charming Russian-speaking girl Maria, after filling out a small questionnaire (full name, country, date of birth, period of stay at the hotel), she gave us key cards and bracelets, a smiling, helpful guy helped to bring all the suitcases to the rooms.

The hotel has an elevator and you can get from the reception to your room from the first floor very quickly.
All problems and questions, requests could always be quickly resolved with Maria. Wonderful hospitality, always trying to help tourists, worthy of special praise and kind words...
2. Hotel room
I was paid under the terms of the Superior Sea View tour, the sea view from the balcony of the room was really wonderful (see photo) Also on the courtyard, the main pool and the beautiful and well-groomed green area.
The furniture in the room is not new, but in very good condition, nothing is broken, does not stagger, does not fall off. There is a TV, refrigerator, kettle, mirror and other things necessary for a comfortable stay (see photo). There are telephones in the room and bathroom. When going on excursions, they called me, woke me up in the morning so that I would not oversleep. . )) Of course, beforehand, I warned the reception at the reception that I would go in the morning and at what time.
When leaving for the tour, I also received a dry ration (a couple of sandwiches, pastries, fruit, water). I was amused by the presence of a telephone in the bathroom, but perhaps someone will need it, suddenly something will not work out, you can call, they will come and help. . )) or the paper ends at the most crucial moment, they will bring more. . ))) All plumbing is in good condition, bath with shower, water pressure (hot / cold) is decent despite the fact that my room 1341 was on the third floor and at the end of the hotel wing. Everything in the room was clean, tidy and comfortable. Regularly every day they came, knocked politely, did the cleaning if you didn't mind. Or they came when no one was in the room. For example, I always did about two hours when I left for lunch. The cleaners really tried to keep the room in order, changed towels, added used shampoos, drinking water, etc...

During my stay at the hotel, none of my personal belongings were stolen, despite the fact that everything was in plain sight, and not in a safe, which is also in the room, but was not used by me (although it is usually recommended). Usually, once a day, before dinner, he left a baksheesh $ 1 or 20 Egypt on the table for the cleaner. pounds. But it was possible not to leave, acquaintances did not do this, but their rooms were nevertheless cleaned with high quality.
3. Restaurants and food.
The hotel has three restaurants and a couple of bars, including at Ch. pool and beach. In ch. Al Kasr restaurant fed everyone according to the chosen food system, in Italian. and braz. and la carte restaurants for a fee and by appointment (for tourists with a UAI food system once a week for free). I haven’t been to a la carte restaurants, I can’t say anything, but my friends visited and praised me. In ch. The restaurant was well fed, you could always choose something to your taste. In the morning they made wonderful omelettes and scrambled eggs from the ingredients you chose.
It is advisable to say no spice (not spicy) to the cook who prepares dishes in front of you, as the locals like to make everything spicy. The first and second courses were always in stock, I don’t know how things were with baby food, I didn’t delve into it, because I was resting without a child. I was pleased with the large number of both different salads and vegetables cut separately, you could cook your favorite salad from the right ingredients. Also, there were often about 5-6 types of delicious cheeses on the distribution trays. . I'm a big fan of taking all the time, och. delicious!
For all the time of rest, I did not suffer from stomach pains and disorders. They often cooked fish, there was not so much meat, but it was also on the menu, in the evening they cooked on coals on the street near the restaurant, fish, beef, chicken, etc. .
There were many kinds of bread, buns, pastries, och. delicious cakes! (see photo). In general, during the seal rest there was a risk of gaining a couple of extra pounds. . ))
4. Beach, promenade.
Beautiful sandy, large beach about 200 m wide, with its own sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as a bar. A gentle entrance to the sea, a great place to relax with children. The people also swam with masks and fins, observing all the small, not dangerous marine life that was also found here.

On a large area along the waterfront there are a couple of luxury hotels (Baron Palace, Premier Le Reve, Tropitel), shops, a beautiful promenade, lots of greenery and flowers. In our hotel, you could rent a golf cart or a bicycle and ride along the embankment, see everything. . Near the hotel there is a beautiful alley of fountains, if you are there, be sure to go see them, in the evening they are very good. picturesque (see photo). Not far from the hotel there are shops, a pharmacy, a large playground, a pier with boats.
5. Entertainment and animation.
The hotel has a wonderful team of Russian-speaking animators, girls and a guy!
They didn’t let tourists get bored, they always invited them to ShowTime, but not intrusively, they didn’t pull anyone by the hand. They organized competitions, dances, taught oriental dances to willing girls. They dressed up cool for Halloween and arranged the interior at the entrance to Ch. restaurant. Well done, respect! ! ! The hotel also has a good disco club, in the evenings you could come to dance and listen to a variety of music. Free Wi-Fi in the lobby, decent speed.
6. Excursions and trips

Separately, I also want to thank the Russian-speaking guide of the sea excursion Milena for interesting stories about marine life and Egypt during the voyage. On the boat delicious food, the menu had a variety of dishes, as well as shrimp, fruits, drinks. . The trip to Luxor was also interesting thanks to Ahmed Radwan, a Russian-speaking guide who is well aware of the history of Egypt (see photo).
His extensive knowledge and sense of humor did not let any tourist get bored during the whole tour. Thank you very much, it was interesting! Surprised by the observation of the guide, I forgot my backpack at the entrance when checking on the metal detector frame. The guide reminded me what to pick up. You can also go to the city by ABC-taxi or Fawry-taxi and see local attractions (mosque, sand city, grand aquarium, Senzo Mall hypermarket). The hotel also has its own taxi service next to the reception and periodically a free bus for tourists runs to Hurghada. In no case do not buy anything at exorbitant prices from the traders in the shops near Ch. restaurant! It is better to go to Senzo Mall and buy souvenirs and other necessary things there. .
In general, I recommend the hotel to tourists who are not particularly spoiled by Sharm for a comfortable family vacation! I will definitely visit again when the opportunity arises. . .
