In Egypt more than 10 times. This hotel was on a last minute package for $730 for three (one child). I saw many hotels in Hurghada and I can say one thing in general. This is the average Egyptian five. There are pros and cons, but overall the experience is very good. The biggest minus is the large territory of buildings, if you are settled at the beginning, then it is very far to the sea and restaurants, but we were only in the room at night, and all day with the child on the beach and by the pools (heated 3 pieces). I went to the gym, played billiards, swam in the jacuzzi - all for free. In 4 bars (2 on the beach, 2 near the pools) they serve shawarma, french fries and sausages almost all day, so sometimes we didn’t go to the restaurant. I was surprised by the presence of freshly squeezed juices for breakfast - I have not seen it anywhere in the average Egyptian fives. The food is varied, but you need to be able to find it (issued in different places of the restaurant), otherwise some Russian tourists found out only on the day of departure that there is a grill every day, freshly squeezed juices and fruits. And some only found out about it on the bus when they were going to the airport, as well as the fact that there was a gym, a jacuzzi, 7 swimming pools, etc. . You need to be interested, at least look at the map and the description of the hotel. But, as it turns out, not everyone can read. There are no queues for anything, nothing bothers. Animation, as elsewhere in Egypt, is weak, but whoever wanted it got his own, even our daughter (3 years old) went to a belly dance. Evening shows are so-so, some animators, no guest artists. The sea for children is a paradise, for adults it is far to walk to the depths, but I even liked it. Sometimes I heard reviews from cohabitants and it seemed that we live in different hotels. And all because they behave incorrectly, they are not interested in anything and they don’t know how to read or don’t want to, that’s why the staff doesn’t like them and they don’t know about 60% of what the hotel has. Be attentive and inquisitive, and also be simpler and kinder, then the staff will tell you everything. Everything depends on you. I liked the hotel, and I wish you the same.
