Хорошо отдохнули We had great rest

We rested from April 29 to May 8. I chose the hotel for the purpose of a comfortable stay with a 4-year-old child.
Check-in - on arrival we were immediately offered to pay extra for a good room. We ourselves named the price - $ 20. We got a room in the 2000 building on the first floor. The room is small, with a standard set of furniture. We had a double bed (which I was very happy about, because two single beds would not have fit us with a child). Let me tell you about eviction. Since we had a plane at 23.20, I was very worried about the extension of the number. If there are free rooms, you can extend your room (until 18.00) the day before check-out. The cost is $25. At the same time, the tour operator's price for renewing the number was $ 94. The benefit is there. Minibar in the room (water, fanta, cola, sprite) free of charge. Replenished daily.
Beach. For holidays with children and for those who like to swim, the beach and the sea are good. The beach is sandy, easy access to the sea. To the left of the main beach - shallow water.

People walked back and forth in this shallow water all day. A couple of times I went to the pier to swim with a mask, because we were promised that there is very warm water and a lot of fish. The water temperature seemed to me the same as on the main beach. The water temperature was relevant in the first two days. On April 29-30, the water in the sea was 21 degrees, the air temperature was 28 degrees. Then the sea warmed up to 28 degrees, the air - up to 36 degrees. I am disappointed in the fish. There was no such diversity as in Sharm. But, in principle, I knew that Hurghada and Sharm are very different in terms of fish.
Restaurants. There are 5 restaurants on the territory of the hotel (Kaiser - German, Don Camello - Italian, Castello and La Clef de L'Orient - it's not clear which, and a newly opened Asian restaurant). The food in the first four restaurants is the same type, in Italian - more pasta and delicious pizza. Only an Asian restaurant is different from the rest (rolls, shrimp, squid, spicy salads, fried dumplings).
By the way, I decided to try salads only in an Asian restaurant (some are quite edible). Usually I never take salads: I am afraid of staleness. Lots of bars. We took milk and alcoholic cocktails in bars, juices from packages (guava, mango, orange, pear, apple, pineapple). Tomato juice - in small tin cans. Ice cream is delicious too.
The hotel area is quite large. Two pools are heated. On days when the sea was cold, it was a special pleasure to soak in warm water. Children in general are beautiful in a shallow warm pool to frolic. The water in the pool with a complex of children's water slides was cold. We didn't swim in it. A river runs throughout the hotel. I did not notice that the water in the river smells (as some wrote in the reviews). There are a lot of fish in the river (much more and more interesting than I saw in the sea). If you feed them with bread, whole flocks come together. A boat runs along the river towards the beach and back.
It is very comfortable. In the first days we went to the beach on foot, then we appreciated all the convenience of moving by boat. Several times they sailed down the river on catamarans - "swans".
Of the excursions, they took only a dive in a submarine. I'm not thrilled. The scuba diver swims and feeds the fish. Mostly flocks of some gray herrings. There are very few beautiful colored fish. In addition, it seemed to me that the boat rose very quickly from the bottom, and therefore, my head hurt all day.

Animation. Every evening children's disco, then - different shows (show schedule by day of the week). I liked the show with the fakir; the cobra show caused a feeling of disgust. The rest is different dances (Brazilian, Oriental). Yoga classes, step aerobics, belly dancing were also held. Unfortunately, I didn’t visit almost anything, because I was with a small child. And I can’t rate it accordingly, although I love all these activities very much.
At 11 pm - a disco in Havana - a club that is located across the street from the hotel. Entrance to the disco is free, for girls one more drink is free. I never went. In one of the bars - live music until 23.00. The aunt sang in lousy English.

The main contingent of holidaymakers in the hotel are German pensioners. I can’t say that this fact caused me any inconvenience, but sometimes it seemed that I was in such a good German nursing home. In service, German tourists are also a priority. The waiters both on the beach and in the restaurant approach the Germans, the Russians are ignored. Maybe because the Russians serve themselves: they run to the bar for drinks and pour coffee for themselves. The Germans, on the other hand, patiently wait at the tables for the waiter to bring drinks.
In general, I am satisfied with the rest, and my expectations were met. I can safely recommend this hotel for a good family holiday.
