Hotel ratings by criteria:
This review is my purely subjective opinion. Without show-off and show off.
And so, Samaka Beach from 7.11 to 11.11. 15. from Zaporozhye $260 for one. I indicate the price deliberately, firstly, taking a tour for one is always more expensive than for two, and secondly, you need to understand that a round-trip flight costs at least $ 200. There is 60$ left. With this money, in Kirillovka or Berdyansk, you can hold out for a couple of days, especially not showing off and with the conveniences in the yard. Taking all this into account, I didn’t particularly count on something very decent (well, of course, I also read the reviews), but I hoped that the Red Sea would not let you down. Arrived in the evening. Settled within 10 min. The room is standard for this hotel. Everything is a little shabby, but clean. Plumbing is old, but everything worked properly, cold, hot water without interruption. Drinking water can be bought at a shop in the hotel, 5 liters costs 1 pound. The air conditioner is loud, but quite capable. The bed linen and towels have seen better days, but again they are clean (I brought my own towel so as not to bathe too much). The bed is comfortable, the TV and the refrigerator worked.
Beach and pool: The beach is huge, almost clean, lots of sunbeds. There are, of course, broken ones, but you can always find what you need. Near the pool deck chairs are better and mattresses are cleaner. The pool itself is more or less clean. There is also a bar and animation, and the issuance of beach towels (which turned out to be much more decent than in the rooms).

Restaurant & Bars: I only have a complaint about breakfast. Apart from scrambled eggs and pancakes, which were prepared by the chef and for which you had to stand in line, there is nothing else to eat. It was too lazy to stand in line, so I managed with buns with jam and tea. I had enough for lunch. And lunch and dinner are quite decent, there was meat and fish and very good desserts. The dishes are really not very well washed, I wiped everything I could with napkins and it’s good that the glasses for drinks were disposable, they definitely don’t need to be wiped. In the lobby (from 10 to 22) the range of drinks is standard. Poured without restrictions. The coffee and tea are pretty decent too. Here from 21 to 22 evening animation.
Pool bar from 10 to 13 all the same only without tea and coffee.
Territory of the hotel: Lawns, palm trees, flowers, everything is present. Purely.
The hotel is located in the new part of Khurkhada. There are a lot of shops, cafes and other things around. There is also a large supermarket nearby. The old part can be reached by taxi ($3).
Outcome: The sea, as expected, did not disappoint. Swimming, diving, sunbathing, enjoying the sun and peace. There is nothing so terrible in this hotel. When there is little money, but you still want to go to the sea, that's it.
P. S. Special thanks to the seller of the hotel store Walid. He made me a cream and a face mask. I can't get enough. Chic.
