Hotel of the Turkish concept "all inclusive". The hosts are likely also Turks. We flew for 8 nights with my wife for 51 tr. with Pegasus. The plane arrived and departed on time, although it was shaking, but everything worked out. Upon arrival in Hurghada, we lost 2 hours at the airport, 1 hour in the arrivals area... (queues !!! ) they impudently extort dollars for border control without a queue! I saw this for the first time, as well as such a miserable airport (almost like in Phuket)... And we sat on the bus for an hour, since the guide did not mark the people already sitting in their seats.
Another hour before the hotel... and arriving at it at 10 am, we saw that there were 50 people in line for check-in in front of us. The hotel is full! 900 rooms and all are occupied, lodged upon release. We waited an hour and a half in a stuffy lobby, but many waited longer. They gave me a room in building 3 on the ground floor. Room... wretched of course, everything is old, but everything is there. The minibar was replenished carefully, no regrets, well done. Cleaned up fine too. Plumbing and furniture killed, but still working. Friends in the second building had red ants in the room, they bit a friend, they were given a different number after the scandal at the reception.
Cons: Very noisy at night in the hotel, there is simply no sound insulation, a lot of drunks yell at night under the window and in the corridor. The contingent... "new Russians from the markets" . . potbellies with chains....and their fat-ass wives))) I hope that it was calmer on the upper floors, we still almost lived on the street. Drinks in bars. It's not clear what... with the taste of "rum", "tequila", "brandy", "vodka" and something else, all in the same bottles... with different labels. Drinking is not possible. Rather, it’s impossible to live after you drink it))) Beer... like beer, like in Turkey... and bartenders also dip their fingers into glasses.

Yes, that's probably all of the minuses!
Unless . . when the cleaner entering the room greets you with "Healthy bratello"!! ! But . . we don’t know such a phrase in Egyptian)) But the staff is not shy, the waiter can drink cognac with duty free . . if you pour it with you) On March 8, it was like that, brought glasses (in a restaurant) and asked him pour) Drink... we are not greedy)
Pros of the hotel: Lots of food, almost no meat, but a lot of delicious food without meat. Sweets, fruits, squeezed juices... a solid four for the restaurant! And the service is top five, well done!
Large, beautiful area of ​ ​ the hotel, well-groomed.
I have never seen such sunbeds on the beach before, they are like sofas, and the mattresses are large, very comfortable! The beach, cleaning the beach, entering the sea, and of course the sea itself... five plus! Turkey is resting. 30 meters from the beach you can swim in a mask and see the "lionfish" sea snakes and many many other animals. There are no hedgehogs near the shore, but in the evening crabs climb out into the shallows.
Another plus of the hotel, I would include animation, it is all in Russian, there are no foreigners in the hotel, only the CIS)
On the territory and nearby there is a rental of electric cars, bicycles and electric scooters. Everything is not expensive at all, and you can ride along the alley along the seashore, it is quite long. There are shops, a little expensive there, but there is everything you need.
In general... for 25 thousand rubles per person... I don’t know where else you can relax like that... we were unlucky with the room, but in general a big plus for this hotel.
