If you have chosen Egypt, then do not forget that you are going to Africa! In order not to spoil your vacation, you need to be ready to remember in time that you are in a far from developed country, surrounded by poorly educated people and in a country with a bright local flavor...
The vacation turned out to be spontaneous . . and since there is a crisis in the country, people did not come up with anything better than to go to the sea ...in a word, an attempt to buy tickets 2 weeks before departure was crowned with news - there are no places in hotels on the 1st coastline until November 5 ...a friend called unexpectedly. The choice was not rich: Hilton Long Beach or Coral Beach. They gave preference to a world-famous surname ...they were glad that in general, at least something was found. Before the trip, I read the reviews (I frankly laughed at the indignation of some tourists about the lack of Russian-speaking staff ...The question arose: why the French who come to Russia / Ukraine do not expect us to speak French.
language? ) and was confused: diametrically opposed reviews frankly confused. She didn’t say anything to her other half, she decided: “Suddenly tomorrow there will be a war ...you can’t be nervous ... ” Carefully, once again, I re-read the reviews and clearly identified the points that need to be eliminated ...fortunately in Egypt this is not the first time ...
Now directly about the rest or how to RELAX in this hotel.
Reviews on the site, both good and bad, are true, so you need to settle everyday problems on the first day so that nothing else mars your stay in this wonderful country.
If you are unlucky and your Tour Operator is Karya Tour instead of Tez Tour, then do not be in a hurry to get upset, but simply take into service:
1. As soon as you get off the bus, do not wait for the guide - she will not help much with resettlement, and no one wants to stand in line after the flight. $20
in the passport will help to make your room more comfortable and bigger. English yaz-simplifies the situation. While filling out the paperwork, she told an incredibly beautiful story about a wedding with my beloved and that Egypt was our dream, and that we are now on a honeymoon, and that NOTHING should spoil it !! ! the last NOTHING needs to be repeated 3 times!! ! I asked to be accommodated in the Main Building - I listened for a long time that the rooms for groups were booked by the operator - as a result I received the keys to a nice bungalow (No. 997)
The main thing is not to forget to stipulate the moment of changing the place of residence in case you don’t like it.
The room turned out to be huge with a large double bed, 2 air conditioners, a bathroom with a shower. The hotel is far from new. Be sure to check the working condition of the safe. But in any case, even if something does not work, call the reception and in 5 minutes everything will be in working order. Needless to say, they respond quickly to requests.
The territory of the hotel is large, so before taking the keys to the room, pay attention to where it is located. I heard complaints that someone is far away from going to a restaurant ...in my opinion, walking in All Inc mode is useful ..
2. Food. The previous reviews are very correct. It could have been better. But in general, they were not hungry. And the fact that by the end of the vacation you want borscht or chicken soup is a normal phenomenon. Tip: take chocolate and coffee-tea from home. In the last couple of days, praise yourself for it.
I was surprised and upset by the lack of fruit (and this is in the very season! ) And fish. Several times for breakfast there were apples, oranges, grapefruits, fried slices, and the rest of the time - dates and something else not very tasty.
The fish was a couple of times - it was kind of strange . . BUT ! ! despite this, it is difficult to stay hungry.
3. Sea. 50-70 meters shallow. Then normal. Coral slippers are not needed - the bottom is clean.
To the right, near the pier, once there were corals, now everything is dead, but some fish swim. I was upset, because the previous trip to Egypt impressed me precisely with the underwater world.
4. Beach. Long. Enough space for everyone. There are always sunbeds. no need for a wounded deer to run at 7 in the morning to take up places.
5. The territory of the hotel. Lots of pools. Not enough green. But in general, nothing. Nice. There is a supermarket behind the hotel: cola, ice cream, sun/sun cream, etc. are much cheaper than in the hotel.
6. Animation is mediocre. During the day there are sporting events. In the evening, unorganized, monotonous ...Our mood was not affected, since we were not initially interested in this service. The contingent of vacationers (except Russia and Ukraine): Poles, Germans, French, representatives of the Baltic countries. The staff is friendly, in Russian diligently learns to speak. We didn't have any problems as both are English speakers.
7. Excursions. Karya Tur is not the best organizer.
Luxor ($ 85 per person) - looks much more interesting in the pictures + the guide was disgusting. People praised the pyramids (we were there last time). Excursion Water and Sand (or something like that - trip to the Bedouins + safari + boat trip) - a ruined day and mood. Again, they were not personally, but they saw a scandal, and people demanded money back. The money was given, but the sediment remained. Diving ($55). Please pay attention! Recommended! This was my first attempt at a pen - a lot of impressions! Although they carry 90% dead coral, there are fish, snakes, moray eels, and in some places the coral is still preserved. 2 dives of 20 minutes...no licenses needed...the guide is a Russian girl. Explained the rules in 10 minutes, as for children! simple and affordable!
Titanic water park is good. We went by ourselves, but with a tour operator it is better. Entrance costs $ 35 from 9 to 17.00, and $ 25 from 14 to 15.00 But during the day you want to eat and drink, but on the ter. the park is cheap. If you take the operator as an excursion, then the price is $ 35 with lunch.
Well, that seems to be all.
As a result: the guys we met on the excursion moved 2 times - bugs ...or someone else biting - we lived only with ants in the bathroom and then only at night . . - but this is Africa and everywhere there is sand, so nothing fancy + $1 on a pillow did wonders for cleaning the room; the food is monotonous - but you don’t have to eat everything at once ...someone had a broken shower-safe-balcony ...it didn’t affect us; imported alcohol in the hotel och. expensive, but we bought ourselves in the Egyptian Duty Free; Diving was so impressive that Luxor was forgotten; the sea is warm and gentle, but if laziness completely overcame, they lay around the pools ...We bought gifts in Hurghada, since all the guides' stories are that you need to buy only here and only urgently-pridashno- divorce. All the same can be bought in the city, only 5 times cheaper . . plus, while you choose gifts, they will treat you to tea, hookah in the shops ..
the process of bargaining will bring a lot of pleasure, and in a cafe you will get drunk on fresh juices at 10 hryvnia for a glass of 300 ml. At the same time, the taxi driver, cat. will bring you from the hotel, will be waiting for you all this time! And 4.5 hours of his time will cost $10!
So, if you do not get hung up on trifles and know the problems "by sight", then the vacation will be positive. Our holiday was quite successful. What do you want : )
