Flew to rest with two couples, and all in Hurghada for the first time. In choosing a hotel, they relied mainly on reviews, fortunately they were not mistaken in choosing. And it's good that they still took the Hotel than the Resort. No, the Resort is also a good hotel, it is on the second line across the road and may even be more interesting in appearance, but the first line is still better, and the pool is heated only on the territory of the Hotel. In any case, guests of both hotels can use the two territories, there are water slides on the second line, we just looked. I was pleased with the prompt check-in, the rooms were close. The reservation was with a view of the garden, they did not change it for an extra charge, in principle they arranged it. Cleaning with tips is better)), change of towels, water in the room daily. Sometimes they turned on the fumigator, there was one for two rooms, that was enough. I liked the food, the choice of dishes is normal, meat, chicken, fish every day, the cooking method has changed. Main side dishes, fresh and stewed/baked vegetables, pastries, desserts, fruits. Delicious, fresh, no stomach problems. I read somewhere that digestive problems arise because of their milk, it seems like our stomachs are not used to it and as soon as we stop using it, everything goes away, well, this fact was not confirmed, and they tried the milk and nothing happened. You need to eat less, do not overeat and everything will be ok. There are fast food snacks, drinks in bars.
Now about the sea. We were satisfied with our beach holiday, the beach is good, sandy, there are plenty of sunbeds, there are also wind screens, sunbathing is comfortable. A gentle entry into the sea, sand, go to the right, there is also a beach, like a wild one, there are few people there. The water at first seems cold, already upset, but you get used to it quickly. There are fish, but on a sea trip, of course, the underwater world is richer and more beautiful. We were on Paradise Island, we liked it, after we went to Luxor, it was a mandatory program, from Sharm it was understood that it was only possible by plane, but expensive. The trip met all expectations, I really liked it, in addition to temples and tombs, there was a walk along the Nile and a banana island, this was included in the price. We even managed to save money, because we ordered from locals, in the reviews we met references to the guide MidoBikham, found it through a search engine and agreed, they were satisfied with him as the organizer.
I can’t objectively evaluate the animation, we didn’t participate particularly anywhere, but from the side there was a good impression. Evenings spent outside the hotel, walked around the city, were at the Marina. I liked the embankment, the entrance was through a frame with a metal detector, handbags were checked, no one pulls a buy-buy by the sleeve, a calm atmosphere, a walk, drink coffee, cafes stretch along the entire embankment. From the hotel to the embankment to go for about 15 minutes, paid $ 2 one way. We walked to the Carrefour supermarket, slowly 20 minutes from the hotel to the right, bought juice in packs, very tasty, within a dollar per liter (they didn’t like the juices in the hotel, they tasted like yupi, but these went with a bang)) We paid in pounds, but can be a card.

We are satisfied with the rest, I liked the hotel, I have no complaints about the staff, I’ll say more, the guys are great fellows, friendly, hospitable, they will clarify a hundred times whether everything is good with us)), in general, everyone is happy, bathed, tanned, rested. We will recommend the hotel.
