I decided to contribute and also write a review about the rest in this wonderful hotel (as a result, most of it turned out not about the hotel). I will try to write what I did not find in other reviews. We rested from March 1 to 8 with two families with children (6 people). Temperature during the day 28-32, evening-morning 18-22. There was no wind at all. I will not paint about the hotel, territory, staff, service, food - everything was at the highest level. Jungle guests have the opportunity to visit the territory of the neighboring Leila Hotel, as well as the Dana Hotel (on the beach). We liked Jungle more, although those hotels are not very bad.
For the first time, it is better to take a bus to the beach to find out the way, because it is not “just right” there (this is for those who like to walk on foot).
The beach itself is not very comfortable, shallow (I mean entering the sea). Before leaving, someone in the reviews read about the pier on the right, going deep into the sea.
Yes, I confirm, if you want to see the fish - go to this pier, at the very end, there is a ladder for entering the sea. Sail a little further away (about halfway between the piers) and voila! Don't forget your mask and snorkel! We really missed at least a small mattress or pillow.
We went on only one excursion - a quad bike safari. Bought from a guide. $30 adult, $15 child. Children can ride alone from 16 years old, if the child is younger - you can go with a parent. Maybe two on one. All in all 5 hours. The length is 22 km one way. The usual speed is 20-30 km/h. Be sure to take arafatki (scarves) with you, cotton is better (you can buy $ 5 on the spot) and glasses. An important nuance: all ATVs (somewhere around 30-40 pieces) rode in one line, it was impossible to overtake, so if someone aims to get the most adrenaline from racing in the desert, check with the seller of the tour, because there were dissatisfied people on this occasion.
Water park - the delight of children knew no bounds (and adults too). Children from 110 cm are allowed on adult slides. Although I saw smaller ones there. The water in the water park is heated (naturally in winter). You can get to this water park from other hotels - $ 50 per person per day.
We went by taxi ($ 4 one way - 20 km) to the central shopping street of Hurghada - Sheraton. I don’t know how anyone, our opinions were divided, but I liked it. If you want to at least partially plunge into Egypt, to understand at least a little the way of life, the life of local residents, the structure of the city, roads, the principle of driving a car, you are here. It seems to me that if you go here after sunset, it will be scary. Better during the day - safe.
We tried to buy souvenirs in one of the stores (there are no price tags in all stores, except for Cleopatra), but they didn’t tell us the price for a specific product, but called for the whole bunch. I understand that many will now say “but they told us”, “yes, you don’t know how to ask”, and so on.
, and we didn’t insist, it just turned out funny - to buy souvenirs in bunches, we still remember and laugh.
We tried several ATMs with our Ukrainian Privatbank card to withdraw their pounds - everything goes without problems. The only thing before leaving is to turn on the card (in your bank branch or through the support service). And in the ATM itself, it is difficult to understand which button to press in order to receive money, but they figured it out by the method of elimination.
Internet on the territory is expensive, it seems 5 euros 30 minutes. If anyone is interested, I can suggest a cheaper choice of how to use the Internet or call your relatives almost unlimited and almost free + even with video if Skype. But it is only suitable for owners of smartphones with Android or iOS. Who in the know - skip this paragraph. Leave the hotel, go towards the airport for 10-12 minutes. There is a supermarket there, it seems called SUN MALL. There is a VODAFONE store inside.
But that’s all if necessary, of course, you’re going on vacation, what phones…
P. S. I already feel how itchy the hands of some readers are to write a review with a claim, such as “the letter is not put there like that”, “the number is not the same there”, “that pool there is not at all the same as you write, it is different”, etc. And Then a weeks-long argument begins. Wouldn't want to. If anyone needs advice, an answer to a question - I will gladly answer.
