2 days since we returned from Club Golden 5. What can I say... To say that I liked it is to say nothing! Just great! Super! Fly away!
The most healthy - they left - in Kyiv it was -17, and in Hurghada +25! Isn't that fantastic! Some 3.5 hours - and you get from winter to summer!
They flew with Turtesse (by the way, for the first time - everyone somehow got on other operators) - they bought the whole flight, so there were a lot of non-Ukrainians on the plane (then in conversations they found out that it was cheaper for people to get to Kyiv from Belarus, Russia and several other countries). The plane is new, the crew knows their business - the flight did not cause any complaints. In Hurghada itself, everything is also harmonious. Visas were bought quickly, but there were huge queues at passport control. Turtesse guides are visible everywhere - who needs help in filling out migration cards, they helped, guided, explained. They were seated on buses, taken to hotels.
About Golden 5 City I am from reviews, descriptions, etc. knew almost everything. And I was not mistaken! The club was chosen for financial and physical reasons - a 15-minute walk through the most beautiful territory is not at all a burden. Actually, the fact that he is 4 * did not bother at all, because. We stayed in the room for a very short time during the day. Yes, the furniture is not entirely new, yes, at first it was not very lucky with the room: the clogged sewer tried to remind itself of itself. At first they just said at the reception - they came to do something, like - normal, after a while - in the bathroom - ankle-deep water. They made a scandal, they said that we would just bring things to the hall and we would live there - we found a good room - no complaints. On TV - which pleased - it was 3 grew. and even a Ukrainian news channel.
Upon arrival, they brought 20 bottles of 0.6 liters of water, 4 liters of sprite and bags of 15 juices (we were 2 adults and 2 children), a 3-bed room, it was possible to take an extra bed for $ 10 per day, but there was no desire - 3 wide beds - all fit.
To the beach - my husband timed 15 minutes - it seemed to me that it was less - the road is absolutely not annoying. There were free sunbeds at 9, and even at 10 - except perhaps not by the sea itself. The sea is super - a very large area is completely cleared - 100 meters (maybe I'm wrong) wide, and on the sides - reefs - not a fountain, but in some places there are live corals, and there were enough fish. You don't have to wear slippers if you don't climb the reef, but I always put them on. Sand - not fine white, but quite acceptable - the children built pyramids.
Near the water park - a large number of sun loungers. We anchored at sea once a day, once there. If we are at sea, the children ran to the slides, if vice versa, my husband and I went from there to the sea. The pool near the water park is heated, we did not swim in others.
Food and drink - for every taste. The fact that you can use the main restaurants of all 5 hotels is convenient, however, when I saw a cockroach near the bakery in Paradise, I didn’t use this opportunity anymore. It must be said that the food in the Club is really worthy: there were crabs almost every day, chicken, quail, beef and meatballs were not translated. To this - rice, potatoes, vegetables in batter, well, fresh vegetables and fruits... Great variety and a cozy restaurant - not as crowded as in other hotels. Sweets were of little interest, so I did not pay much attention to them.
There are 4 a la carte restaurants on site. We have visited all. The Russian was not impressed: there was a very small selection, and even those dishes that were offered could be called Russian with a stretch. Mediterranean, seafood and barbecue - liked it.
The staff is like everywhere else: as you are to them, so they are to you. Constant seemingly innocent harassment terribly annoyed my 13-year-old daughter (by the way, until the age of 13.99, these hotels accept guests as children), she always asked to go with her.
The cleaner was quite lazy - cleaning was reduced to replacing garbage bags and making beds, we left a tip every other day, but, according to one review, he did not twist the “geese”.
Animation is everywhere. The guys are just great. Both on the beach and by the pool in the water park - constant club dances, aqua aerobics, ground aerobics, belly dancing, etc. - just non-stop!
Between the main meals - endless snacks in multiple bars. Rice, potatoes, vegetables, pizza, pita, donuts, pancakes… In the Club for lunch, ice cream for children. Drinks - for every taste. Cola, fanta, sprite, water, packaged juices, beer, whiskey, rum, brandy... Somewhere - self-service, somewhere - a bartender.
Singing and dancing fountains are a feature of the complex. Really very beautiful. We didn't miss a single time. The repertoire changes once a week. Great.
As for the contingent - indeed 90% are Russian-speaking, and Russia is in the lead in terms of the number of guests. I was afraid that it would be drunk and noisy, but I was lucky: not a single time did anything inappropriate happen. After 23.00 it was pretty quiet, and at 2 in the morning it was just quiet. Yes, and for breakfast, people pulled themselves up to 8.00 - 8.30, which suggests that they did not fit in late.
On the beach and by the pools, they constantly come up with offers to braid, go on a safari, fly with a parachute... They offer, but not intrusively: they react calmly to “no” and no longer fit. They carry strawberries - $3 pack and fresh juices - the same price for a disposable cup. Before leaving, we bought strawberries in the city - at the exit of the hotel to the left - 300 meters. There they are for $ 1. They also took physalis and mango. In a shop with oils, they bought an aroma lamp, hibiscus, yellow tea, green and pink pepper.
It gets dark after 17.00, but you could swim until dusk - it was absolutely not cold. From 12.00 to 15.00 the sun fries mercilessly, even despite the winter. We were lucky - there was practically no wind, although the previous week, they said, it was quite cold.
Bottom line: I liked it a lot. And if there is an opportunity to go there again for the same money ($1300 for four people) or cheaper, I will go. If it's more expensive, I'll think about it. But the rest is still a success !!!! !
