I decided to write a review so that people do not encounter problems like we could enjoy our vacation. I will elaborate : -)
Who will fly from Kyiv with AnexTour, stock up on food - they don’t feed on the plane, only water and tea. This is because Anex Tours are simply saving on food on board. Be sure to take at least 1.5 liters with you in your suitcase, especially if you have a late check-in, because no one will offer you water until you check into your room. And then there is 0.5 per person. Water can be bought in a small shop on the way to the beach, but it cost 3USD, if you can’t buy it, it’s better not to throw away plastic bottles and pour water from coolers that are on the floors. But this water should also be boiled, because it is just from the filter, and its ability to upset the stomach is preserved. It is better not to drink alcohol, but to buy it in duty free (bring it with you), or at least drink it clean. They dilute cola, juices, etc. with tap water, so again the problem is a toilet instead of a beach.
In no case do not fall for the threats of the Anex tour guide that if you do not show up for a meeting on the first day after arrival, then you will have problems ("you need to fill out questionnaires for the embassy and this is a presidential decree... " - nonsense). they just bred on excursions, they don’t give any important information, they just steal the time that you can spend on the beach. If you want to ask something, then near the reception there is a Russian-speaking representative of the hotel who will give all the information and advise on any issue. By the way, he also records hotel guests for dinner in restaurants: the hotel has a restaurant where you will eat all the time (dining room), and there is also a Bedouin cafe, an Indian restaurant and an Italian restaurant. The first 2 are full D, because the same food is from the canteen, but there is not enough of it, so you will need to run again for dinner. And you can go to an Italian restaurant every day, but only for lunch (pizza, pasta, ice cream)
Immediately refuse rooms that are located close to the reception, because it is impossible to sleep at night - the hoods from the restaurant are wildly buzzing, they are very audible. The number can be changed for free, but you need to try)) and so 20 USD and you have a room after renovation and closer to the beach. If you do not pay extra, then the room will be old, every night you will hear screams from the bar, and you will need to walk decently to the sea.
Everything is very monotonous in the hotel (food, animation), it is located far from Hurghada and you can get there only by taxi (20 USD one way), there is sand all around and even nowhere to go. In general, the hotel is normal, but old (needs renovation), green and many palm trees. Of the vacationers, Czechs (50%), and the rest of the Poles, a few Germans, and for our vacation there were no more than 30 Ukrainians. age 30 and older, decently retired. A lot of Egyptians come on the weekends, but they are quiet and can only be seen in the dining room and in the evening on the beach. There are very few children in the hotel. The animation is so-so: students who came for a seasonal part-time job entertained as best they could, but the club at the hotel is a nightmare (a small room and music 10 years ago), after 24 there is deathly silence, only the screams of drunken Czechs near the bar are heard...
The situation with the sea is as follows: after 9 a. m. the tide begins to ebb and the sea goes far away, you can swim only by going down into the water from the pier, but it’s even convenient, because there are few people who want to immediately go down the stairs into the water, you can safely swim and look at the fish, and the rest sitting by the pool, which, by the way, wildly stinks of bleach. In the evening, the water returns, but still only children can swim there, because you need to walk for 10 minutes in slippers to swim normally.
If you want to go on excursions, then you can go from Anex tour, but it will be more expensive, or you can buy excursions on the way to the beach. We didn’t go ourselves, because it’s not the first time in Egypt, but the neighbors said that it’s better with an annex tour, but you need to stock up on water - they don’t give it, and on the way it’s much more expensive to buy than in a store. and with them you will go to 3 shops and by the time you get to the place of the excursion, you will get tired and there will be no time to see everything. from local tour guides, excursions seem to be simpler... So choose for yourself.
Take a mask and fins with you, because they rent at the pier, but for 3 USD. Okay, money, but everyone uses the tube!
Towels for the beach are given, you can change 1 time per day near the pool.
The hotel staff speaks Russian. Everyone smiles, very nice and not intrusive. Only the beach is full of guides and services (tattoo, fur, leather).
Who travels to Egypt for the first time, stock up on pills: forgiving diarrhea and colds (aclimatization). We don’t drink from the tap, we brush our teeth with water from a bottle.
Well, that's probably all. If you have the opportunity, then choose another hotel, unless there is a big discount on the tour and you only need the sea and the sun. This hotel has been 5* for a very long time. If you relax with a company, then it’s still normal, but if you’re alone, then it’s boring and you need to stock up on books and films. By the way, wifi is paid there, but if you have Ultra all, then it is included in the price.
