Too lazy to write a lot, I will write what I considered significant when considering this hotel. I also want to emphasize the basic rule of rest “How you decide to spend it is how you will spend it”
Let's start with the fact that I have been traveling for a long time, I have been both to good (4-5 *) European resorts and to elite Turkish and Cypriot ones. There were certainly times when I went to simple 4 *.
So that's what I was missing in the Citadel: nevertheless, the main inconvenience that I encountered is that the shower is walled up in the wall (if you want to wash your feet, the splashes will obviously fall on everything else), the second: the gym - well, it is underdeveloped to such a level that You could have fun there.

The entrance to the sea - there are many different artificial lagoons, but in any of them, in order to normally paddle with your hands, you must first go 50 meters (knee-deep) further normally. Food - I liked it, obviously you won’t be hungry, there wasn’t a strong variety in the main restaurant, but this was calmly compensated by the La Carte restaurants (they don’t have an appointment). Animation is weak. Alcohol is decent. I read that if you ask to pour imported ones - I tried to pour RED LABEL - well, how can you tell for a person who drinks it and sees it at least once a week, it is not difficult to determine that it is far from European, but most likely packaged well, if not in Egypt according to not far from him.
The frill is normal - for all 2 weeks, if I'm not mistaken, they may not have been removed 2-3 times, and then most likely due to the fact that I hung a do not disturb sign due to the fact that I left a laptop in the room for downloading movies.
What spoils the holiday. Read my second sentence again! So the May holidays - the most expensive season in Egypt - there were a lot of OURS! And a lot of boors (stupidly B Y D L O), of course they don’t touch other vacationers, but....In recent days, everyone has parted - there are Italians, French....nothing has changed in food and service, but it has become much calmer and more comfortable.
Now for the pros:
- local natives said that our hotel is the best in hurghada
- excellent architecture
- the sizes are huge (maybe for someone it’s a minus, but for me it’s a big plus after dinner to take a walk - hurt)
….
And yes, I completely forgot, I don’t know about the others, but we ran into some tricks:
- when you buy a tour, say that you would indicate that you need extra troubles - for example, I got lost with my girl and we were initially given a room with two separate beds (they are walled into the wall - it’s impossible to move)
- which body to choose I will try to draw:
(5) (8)
(1) (3) (6) (7)
(2) (4)
__________

well, like this:
Building 1 - above the main restaurant (large rooms, large balconies), but the restaurant below and the reception (I personally would not recommend)
Building 2 - near the pier (without balconies, some rooms are in 2 tiers - stupid sucks - it stank from the pier, there is one restaurant above you, others on the sides)
3 - 5 building - more than a balcony or terrace number (please note if the second digit "0" in the room means that it is on the first floor - it means that there is a route that immediately leads to the footpath) - I recommend either the second or third floor (* 1 ** or *2** respectively)

3 - 8 building is far from the central "fun" of restaurants, bars, etc. - although they have the 7th building the most prestigious (where their ministers stop)
YES, even from a number of advertisements, I went with CORAL Travel, his prices were an order of magnitude lower than for the same dates at TURTES or TEZTUR, I don’t remember exactly, just look, maybe it depends on the period. Although I personally always traveled with TEZTUR and Pegasus, there were no problems.
Damn - I read my first phrase and realized that I had already scribbled too much, if you have questions, write, I will help if you have any questions.
