So the day has passed since we returned from the windy Hurghada. Yes, the wind was strong all 10 days (it was quiet in July 11). But it is not so hot, and the temperature did not rise above 36. Now, regarding the hotel. The hotel is good, big and clean. The staff is normal, no worse, no better than other hotels in Hurghada. There is practically no animation in Russian. There are many restaurants, but sorry, you can eat normally only in the first four. The food is of course a little monotonous, but you can get enough. I agree with the reviews about the chronic lack of salads. But this is all for an amateur, as they say, someone will be delighted. The territory is large, there are a lot of pools, not enough greenery, or rather, it has not yet grown, as I understand it. The hotel is fresh in 2009 (it can be seen from the small, young palm trees). Beautiful in the evening, the lanterns on the ground look cool. The water park is a full test, there is where to roam . . , the slides are very good. There was a foam party.
Fakir show on the stage in the big pool. . loved it. We went to Leila for free through the football field for 1001 nights, you can see it at a time, in principle, beautifully. Each microdistrict of residential chalets has its own swimming pool, which is very convenient. There are no problems with sunbeds (on the beach too). As always excellent coffee at the reception. The rooms are normal, no frills, but quite interestingly made, everything works, everything flows and descends. We lived in room 2112, which was very convenient for us, on the one hand it is quiet, on the other hand everything is close enough (2-3 minutes walk to the water park, 3-4 minutes to restaurants and parties). This happiness was worth Alyonka's chocolate, 20 greens and our smiles. In general, the hotel offset. Now, with regards to the sea . . Having read here about the negative ratings for the sea, it was interesting to check it myself. There are no special problems on the hotel beach, but there really is no RED Sea (to put it mildly). Constant wind, constant ebb, unimaginable shallow water,
the water is really unclear, at the exit to the sea a little cleaner, but the wave, no one swims, there are practically no fish, the excursion to the island of utopia saved, there is not a bad coral reef for Hurghada, swam enough, a bunch of fish of different calibers, stingrays, moray eels, even they saw a small shark, in general they were satisfied . . + fishing, banana riding, landing on the island (the island itself is not what). So for the third time already reluctantly went to the sea. Yes, even on the way back, the crush is constant, so that you can get on the bus . . In general, the sea was not a pleasant surprise. But in general, the rest is not bad. The hotel seems to me to be purely family (80% of families with children). there is practically no young crowd there. In connection with the latest events in Egypt and prices, Russians poured into the hotel, although Jungle is not considered Russian (it was always expensive). Only in our race 25 people immediately swooped down. There are also enough Germans and Poles. There are no riots,

Quiet, but look . . In my opinion, they talk about unrest more in Russia... , there is nothing about it in general. We talked to the locals, they say everything will be all right. I got information that the top of the Muslim Brotherhood has large investments in the tourist industry of Hurghada, so why should they cut the branch on which they sit . . So go boldly and relax to the fullest. Yes! Transairo is a full test, Boeing 747-400 (two-story building) is on top as always, we flew there and back perfectly. Have a good holiday everyone!
