For a quick check-in they gave 20 dollars. Our compatriots gave 2 chocolates, they were settled later, the result: the money solves the problem with the settlement faster.
Room on the first floor is cozy, with access to the pool.
Separate entrance to each room from the yard. The key cards really had to be changed several times, they seemed to be demagnetized.
The hotel itself is small, there are few people, across the road there was a 4-star Hilton, we went there for spa treatments (there was also a tennis court). Spa treatments cost us (we bargained) somewhere around $ 350 for 2 people for 3 sessions. The session included: full body massage, sauna, wet sauna, whole body coconut peeling, face mask, jacuzzi, and at the end we were smeared with a special cream, because at first we were a little burned, like all the newly arrived tourists.
The cream is very good, it costs a penny, it is sold at a local pharmacy, it is called Calamyl in such a dark glass jar. Be sure to buy!
It is very good at soothing the skin after sun exposure. The rest of the proprietary products that we took with us on the trip from home did not help me. By the way, they bought some kind of Egyptian remedy for indigestion there, because their pills did not help much. It turned out to be good medicine.
If you leave the hotel, then along the road there are a lot of all sorts of small shops, we bought bottled water there for 2 pounds (in the hotel bar it costs 2 dollars per bottle) and souvenirs. Be careful if you go into a papyrus shop, we looked at the canvases for a long time, and when we found out that they cost from 30 dollars. (for this amount you can go on an excursion or go on a safari ride in a jeep), then we suddenly got sick of buying anything. The seller did not understand our "No", it was not possible to bargain with him, as a result, the "godfathers" of this merchant pestered us a couple more times, persuading us to settle this matter. We politely sent them too, no one bothered us anymore.
If you call to Russia, buy cards for pay phones, they are sold in shops.
The hotel has a bank, there is quite an acceptable exchange rate (including you can exchange dollars and euros), some of our compatriots went from a neighboring hotel to us to change money.
Do not order a taxi at the reception, very expensive.
An empty taxi car passes by the hotel on the road every 5-10 minutes. You stop, first you say where to go, then you bargain, if the price suits you, then sit down. We paid $6 for a taxi.
There is a nice new water park in Hurghada called Jungle Aquapark (next to the Jungle Park Hotel) 32 slides. Be sure to visit! It costs 30 dollars. per person, and you can ride the slides all day from 10 to 18 + give free coupons for pizza and cola in a restaurant on the territory of the water park. Ice cream for a fee - 2 dollars. Towels - 2 dollars. Sunbeds, shower, toilet - free of charge.
The food at the hotel is decent, although we didn’t eat dressed salads in principle, we just took vegetables. Fruits: peaches, melons, watermelons, bananas, dates. There was even a chocolate fountain a couple of times. Meat, chicken, fish (sea bass seems), cereals, pasta, cream soups are different. Freshly squeezed juices for breakfast: carrot, orange, pineapple. There was no special variety of cheeses and sausages. But pastries and desserts are very tasty and varied.
About the incidents: once in our room the sink fell off, they were glued there on the bottom with glue. We put the sink in its place and presented a basket of fruit. The water in the taps is bad, when you wash the soap and shampoo are poorly washed off (this is a feature of Egyptian tap water), including washing your hands with mineral water.
Yes, there is a kettle and a tea set in the room, you can drink tea. Bottled water is provided every day. There is an iron and ironing board. Be sure to bring mosquito repellant.
Do not leave food in the room, otherwise ants will crawl to you.
Entertainment program: aqua aerobics, belidens, beach volleyball, aerobics, but all this in the morning. In the evening there was nothing to have fun, although musicians performed on the street in a nearby hotel. At the Hilton in the evenings, some local violinist performed in the lobby bar. And it was so boring.
For breakfast, it is better to come early in order to have time to take sunbeds on the beach. But you can come later for dinner. In the whole two weeks, there were only a couple of times free ice cream by the pool.
If you want to buy souvenirs, then either take it in shops near the road, or go to the souvenir shop in the city itself by taxi. You shouldn't go to a large supermarket, it's like they have a Mega Mall, it stands on the outskirts in the desert, there is nothing interesting there, an ordinary European supermarket with an eastern bias. Unless you buy nuts there.
On the whole we were satisfied with the trip.
We brought a lot of good impressions and photos.
