The first time we were in this hotel 2 years ago in mid-November, together with my husband. This time we took our friends with us. in two years the hotel has become unrecognizably green and blooming, very beautiful. There are 4 water slides. Opened last night in October. We arrived at the hotel at 12 o'clock, check-in at 14 o'clock. Upon arrival, we were dressed in green bracelets, yellow for friends. left the suitcases on the street near the reception and went to dinner. When we were settled in room number 2039, at first we didn’t like it - after all, before that we were settled in building 3 with a sea view and at no extra charge (one good chocolate bar was enough). But this room also had its advantages, our balcony was blocked by a hedge and the exit was to the beach near the pool and water slides. The next day, coming from the beach, the room was cleanly cleaned, a figurine was twisted from a towel, a plate of fruit was packed on the table next to the bed, 2 pairs of slippers. Gift set in the bathroom: 2 tubes of shampoo, 2 hair conditioners, 2 body lotions
, 2 toothbrushes with small tubes of toothpaste. 2 small washcloths and a letter of thanks from the owner of the hotel on the bedside table. The attendants are friendly, but the staff carrying the suitcases is very arrogant, demanding a brazen tip sometimes they make a remark, they say, madam, it's not enough... the cleaner of our rooms was always friendly, the room was constantly cleaned. True, sometimes they don’t add a towel, then they put an extra one (but you politely ask for a towel, they immediately bring it without reservation). Drinks were constantly added to the refrigerator, even if not all drunk. There were always in the refrigerator: 1 jar of sprite, 1 jar of fanta, 1 bottle in Pepsi glass and 2 packs of juice (tasty juices: mango, apple, avocado, cannot be compared with our water-juice) 2 large 1.5 liter bottles of water. When you check in, be sure to ask for a map of the hotel, it also indicates the opening hours of restaurants.
Be sure to take a walk to the colorful fountains along the embankment in the evening after sunset. after the fountain there are not expensive souvenir shops. The prices there are fixed and a very polite seller who tells you the prices in Hurghada. And in fact in Hurghada the prices are more expensive. In the supermarket opposite the pier you can buy fresh fruits (mango, pomegranate, strawberries, etc. ). carefully with oil stores, they impose their oils, you won’t get rid of it, if there is no interest in buying oils, then it’s better to pass by these stores, as some oils interfere with each other for a better healing effect and say what. once the oils are mixed, then you must buy. We have a friend who fell for this bait. the food is generally tolerable, the choice is large, but every day is the same. It was starting to get a little boring. Although pancakes and donuts were eaten every day, they are simply delicious. From the sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bproducts, squids cut into rings were laid out almost every day,

in large bowls next to vegetables and herbs. Many write about shabby furniture, part of the damage to this furniture is caused by vacationers. often there are problems with the safe. first they called the wizard to close the safe, then they called the wizard to open the safe. therefore, on the eve of departure, check everything in advance, what works, what does not. The hotel has a second restaurant around the clock (in practice it turned out that he works somewhere after 6 am). we left on a trip at 5 am and before leaving we went to a 24-hour restaurant, they put us out of there, they didn’t even give us coffee or tea. Well, in the lobby bar they gave both coffee and dry rations (packed rations are ordered by Pegasus for tourists leaving for a trip early in the morning) But rations are a separate story, one roll, no cucumber, no apple. cheese and butter for rolls, jam and 0.5 bottle of water. When there is some kind of breakdown, you inform the girls to the administrators and the problems come to be fixed. the hair dryer sparkled in my hands, they said.
came from lunch - a new hair dryer whist (time spent 1 hour). animation, fun for children, for adults every other time. They came from a Turkish leather store and held a fashion show. on another day, a dance with skirts, the next day a fire show, and then when men were invited to the stage, you could still watch and laugh. but when the girls were invited, it was not interesting to watch. 2 years ago, fruits were given whole, now everything is cut before your eyes. As the 4-star hotel of the same name opened, more people appeared in the restaurant, on the beach and when booking a la carte restaurants. Whoever goes will pay attention - these vacationers have blue bracelets. there were no queues in the a la carte restaurants before. Were in 2 a la carte restaurants: Italian and French. in Italian, the service is at a high level and they bring food and wine quickly, they quickly pick up dirty dishes. In a French restaurant, they are tired of waiting for each dish for 10 minutes.
And there was no hurry to pick up the dirty dishes. In the main restaurant, the dishes are all broken, and it’s mostly the dish cleaners who beat them, while you eat, you can constantly hear the sound of broken dishes. you turn around, where the ringing is a cleaner.
Bottom line: the hotel itself has changed for the better in 2 years. Water slides appeared, the territory became more beautiful and well-groomed, the food was tasty, but monotonous, and queues appeared everywhere (2 years ago they duplicated the tables and there were no such queues). But coral slippers are still needed, under water, in addition to flora and fauna, you can find disposable forks and spoons, plastic bags and glasses. This is our mentality... But in general, the rest was a success, we were with friends and it pleased us, there was no time to pay attention to small details and shortcomings.
