“And for the third time they went for the tree... ”
This was our third trip to the Iberotel Aquamarine hotel. We wanted to try something new, but we did not find such a range of services, and most importantly, quality!
They decided to take an extended tour, for 11 days (oh, go wild, go wild! ) Yes, and in terms of round-trip flights for these dates, it was the most relevant. In our market, Aquamarine sells only Tui, there are other options from resellers, but everything is in the voucher equals Tui.
To the organization of the flight, transfer and settlement - NO complaints, everything is fine! This time we didn’t even take a taxi from the hotel to the airport, they picked us up very conveniently and took us by bus quickly. Tui - OFF!
Kolavia flight (aircraft chartered near Tui, painted in TO colors). Departure on time, on board they were treated to champagne in honor of Tui's two-year anniversary on Russian soil. puzzles and pencils. Optional - blankets.

At the Hurghada airport, as always, there is an unmeasured queue for migration cards and visas from the host for 17 bucks. We bought visas for 15 bucks at the bank to the left of the entrance, took the migration card and filled it out ourselves, standing at the border control. Everything is pretty fast and easy.
For lovers of alcohol, I recommend buying alcohol in Dutifree, then you will have to go to Hurghada and look, alcohol is not sold in ordinary shops!
We got to the hotel quickly, but they didn’t want to settle until 14. (In my previous trips, they settled right away without problems). Delicately hinted at good accommodation. To tell the truth, there are good rooms in any building! Every placement has its advantages.
Before the trip, I wrote a letter to the hospitality with a request to accommodate us in building 4. It’s quiet, the pool is relaxing and it’s convenient to get to everything. An excellent room was prepared for us on the 2nd floor, overlooking the pool with fountains. The room had a plate of fruit and an invitation to a cocktail with hotel managers and regular vacationers. Everyone met at the cocktail party, talked about the new products at the hotel, treated them to cocktails and canapé s, at the end they took a general photo that was sent to the email.
The hotel - everything is SUPER! Territory, rooms, food, service - on top!!!
There are few Russians in the hotel, there are only a few Arabs, mostly foreigners. The attitude of the staff towards everyone is correct and respectful. Many people want to learn Russian and ask to communicate with them in Russian. (I'm surprised).
In snack bars, a great alternative to going to a restaurant at lunchtime is fresh salads, hot dishes, only without soup. We took soup in the evening for dinner. The food is excellent everywhere, everything is fresh, deliciously cooked, beautifully served!
Any drinks in bars from 10 am to sunset: soda, cocktails, alcohol, tea, coffee, packaged juices, beer - without restrictions!!!
In a la carte restaurants - everything is at a high level, dishes, service. Very tasty! The visit is paid, the price is symbolic - 8 euros per person. I recommend it!
The slides all worked perfectly, there were few people, lifeguards were everywhere.
The hotel has 16 swimming pools, many of which are heated.

Beach-lawn-offset!
We met a family from Klin at the hotel, hung out together, bought an individual tour Sea trip on a yacht. There is a small marina with yachts to the left of the Rimavera hotel. We went there and agreed on an excursion. An individual trip for 5 people (3 adults + 2 children) cost us 200 bucks. Lunch, fishing, snorkeling and sailing on a yacht, self-steering with a helm, cooking caught fish - everything was included in the price!
In addition, while we were snorkeling near the island of Mahdia, the captain caught us shells with clams, which were then prepared for us. And we bought the shells from the captain!
We went to the Marina, walked along the embankment - there are chic expensive yachts, many restaurants and bars. There is a pleasant aroma of hookah.
Hurghada is noisy, bright, dusty. Many shops with various goods. Taxi is cheap, from the hotel to Hurghada - 5 bucks. , And it takes 20-25 minutes to go!
Highly recommend to buy mango and pomegranate - super sweet and delicious!! ! Here I am sitting now in Moscow, and on the windowsill there are burgundy pomegranates and huge mangoes and they remind me of Hurghada.
The weather was comfortable, 30-34 degrees during the day, about 20 at night. The last two days a strong wind rose, strong waves on the sea, it became much cooler during the day. In the evening we warmed up with sweaters.
Attention, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the hotel rooms. Take aerosols and cream with you, our fumigators do not work!
Animation in the hotel is, but not active. They invite you to participate, but do not insist. We visited gymnastics, aqua aerobics, stretching. A very cool dance by the pool, everyone is delighted! There are also different sports games for men.
In the evening we went to a disco - we shook heartily! They dance a little, mostly they watch, but we, with our company, danced well!
I highly recommend this hotel and will visit again and again!
All good travels and new countries!! !
