We were lucky". . . We ended up in Hurghada on January 29th. Straight, so to speak, they arrived in the trenches. I went with my nine-year-old daughter, my friend is with us, also with a five-year-old daughter. They brought us to the hotel quickly, we were also given a room quickly (we took two separate ones), only for some reason we were given a triple room for two with a child, and at my request to give a room with windows to the courtyard they gave a room directly above the entrance with windows to the street (according to I speak English tolerably, should have understood). At night, in a huge room, alone with a child, it was very scary. In the morning I asked to change the room - they said to come at 12.00, then at 13.00 and so on every hour. We moved at five. Room service is not bad, the room is cleaned daily, tips are not begging. Now about nutrition: a very meager selection of soft drinks - there is nothing to give the child, only cola-fantas-sprites + orange concentrate. There is simply nothing to eat for breakfast - scrambled eggs and pancakes - the whole choice. No coffee!! ! Only soluble burda, absolutely disgusting in taste. Of the lunch side dish, only rice is edible, potatoes and soups are impossible to eat. Chicken and fish are fine. Dinner is the same lunch, nothing changes. The pastry is delicious, but orientally sweet, not for everybody. There are few fruits. Of the evening entertainment, almost everything is paid, there were a couple of free evenings - the rest in the tent and paid 15 bucks for two hours of a weak show (in other hotels it's free). For children animation is very weak. The playground is small, the unheated pool is very cold. Near the sea there is a pier with yachts, so often in the morning diesel fuel and garbage floated in the sea. On the beach, the staff is terribly annoying. We left at 17.00 at 12.00 at the reception they took off the bracelets from us - they didn’t even leave the children. The children could neither drink nor eat ice cream, the staff in a rather rude form made it clear - there is no bracelet - there is no "all inclusive" - ​ ​ go drink some water. Although we entered at 20.00 and our time was not over yet. The uncle who accepts luggage is frankly hamil-ip there is no bracelet, you are no longer a guest, drag your luggage yourself from the second floor without an elevator as you like. The hotel hardly pulls on the top three, it is surprising that in Russia it generally passes as 4. More in this hotel no foot!
