Rested in Arabia Azur from 15 to 29 August
In Egypt 4 times, the hotels were different both in terms of stars and prices (from 3 * to 5 *)
Before that, they were only in Sharm, and if we compare the cities themselves, then Sharm, of course, outperforms Hurghada in many ways, at least with the elementary cleanliness of the streets...
But we didn’t particularly go to the city, there was no special need, there are a lot of souvenirs and at the same price in Ali Baba Bazaar on the territory of the hotel.
Well, now in more detail about the hotel itself and the trip:

Tour operator: the first time we went with Biblio Globus. From the tour operator himself and the managers who supervised us at the hotel, there were only very, very positive emotions. Only one phrase of the hotel guide, on the fact that we did not come to meet him at the agreed time, is very expensive (not an introductory meeting, but on another issue), to be honest, we simply had to break, dress, go somewhere, when there is such a magnificent sea and sun! Upon arrival at the room after swimming, we found a note on the door with a message that in the evening at 20:00 they would be waiting for us in the information room. We came in the evening, all so ashamed (after all, the person was waiting for us inconveniently, and we... ) and began to make excuses, to which Belal (that was the name of the hotel guide) calmly said: “Don't worry, everything is fine, you came to rest, here and enjoy your vacation. We are all here for you, and we must fully create comfort for you. It was very nice, especially after the Pegasus guides, who looked at us not as people, but as potential "money givers".
We also bought excursions from the Bible, their prices are normal, the organization is at the highest level. We went on a safari (I really liked it) and to the Jungle Water Park (I also really liked it, only the German children left a painful impression with their impudence and aggression).
And now the hotel itself:
1. Check in
We arrived in the morning, after half an hour we were already at the hotel (approximately 10 am). We settled in immediately, we flew in two couples and with a number of wishes for settling (building B, 2nd floor, preferably nearby), the wishes were fulfilled with accuracy and in a short time! They gave us numbers B265 and B267, i. e. 15 minutes after arrival we were furnished, with the key and in the room.
2. Number:
The room is clean, quite spacious, with two huge beds, LCD TV, and a sofa.
I was also pleased with the presence of a full-fledged bath and not a shower (when washing in which, as a rule, huge puddles then remain on the floor), the hairdryer, by the way, was also wonderful (for me personally, this is very important, my hair is long). And in general the room is quite good, they cleaned well, filled the mini-bar, supplemented coffee with tea, bed linen was changed three times for sure, but maybe more. No complaints
3. Nutrition

Fed to death! I have never seen such excellent cuisine as in Arabia. Quite varied and very tasty! The soups were just wonderful, the meat was amazing (lamb, beef, chicken), they really cook fish very well. Every lunch and dinner there was something on the grill. Lyulya kebab they also just lick your fingers. We usually dined at the Marina, as we mostly lived there, but sometimes we went to Bel Air, where pizza is very tasty (and the pizzerist is cheerful). In general, everything was great, but there was some problem with the tables for dinner, as a rule, they were enough. But we quickly worked out a plan of action and the problem was solved (you just need to come not at rush hour, but between them, i. e. somewhere from 19:45 to 20:15), although to be honest, it was worth standing for a minute with a sad look plate in hand, then a flock of waiters flies up to you and in an instant finds a free table (but for some reason this only worked with me).
Desserts are very tasty, but I didn’t manage to try everything, I just didn’t have enough time! And I was also very pleased that ice cream is freely available, that is, as much as you want and what you want.
4. Sea, beach
The sea is great! The choice of a beach for every taste! If you want fine: here's a lagoon for you (obscure of course, but everything is fine early). If you want a smooth entry, please, there is a very smooth and sandy entrance to the right of the marina. On the upper arc of the Marina is the entrance for lovers of depth. The marine life there is very diverse. I saw muroks and stingrays and octopuses and a huge bunch of different curves and very unusual fish. For lovers of active snorkeling, I recommend the left side of the Marina. And for those who, like me, are afraid of the right depth, there is certainly not so diverse and exciting, but it's still better than nothing.
As for the beach, there were always enough sunbeds, you didn’t have to borrow at 6 in the morning, you could always find an acceptable place at any time. The beach staff is also very nice.
5. Entertainment
To be honest, I can’t say for sure whether there are animations in the hotels, somehow this question worried me a little. We kind of had fun ourselves. In the evening after dinner, we played billiards, just sat chatting, walking around the territory.
Summary: In general (and in parts) the rest turned out great. In the hotel, everything is thought out for relaxation and comfort. The service staff is polite. (the waiter at the lobby remembers people well, when we once again came to sit one evening, he came up to our men ordered 2 beers and rum cola for me, so in a minute he brought six beers and rum cola, well, so that later three times walk ; )) )))
In general, if you want a quiet and measured rest, then of course you are welcome to Arabia Azur. Someone likes to have an active rest, I personally have enough of this activity at work. The rest turned out to be 100%, such relaxation………

P. S. if you have any questions, write in detail I will answer, otherwise in my review there are mostly emotions and specifics are not enough...
