Good day. Returned 15.04 from Hurghada hotel Hilton long beach. Chose this hotel based on reviews. Vizaero dropped us off in Hurghada on time and safely, for which many thanks to them. Although it is clear that the carrier was trying to save on everything: some boutiques with ham and twix and there were no interchangeable headrests on the seats...... Absolutely...... i. e. absolutely. As on a regular bus Khatsapetovka - Zapopye. Well, okay, there was a desire cheaper, so get it.
Curly-haired boys representing the Anex-tour met us promptly and led us to a SEPARATE counter (not a bank counter where they sell calls), where the same smart boys cut down 20 bucks for a visa. (over the head in meter letters in Russian it is written that the visa costs 15 USD). We saw it later, so we laughed at ourselves. By the way, the situation is the same with other tour operators...
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately sent to dinner, and then politely offered to pay 10 euros per night for a non-standard room. Since the desire to save money turned out to be stronger, we politely refused... our belongings were loaded into a tiny little bus and taken to the room..... STSUKO...... (sorry for my bad French) the room turned out to be practically in the desert... When trying to get back to the reception, our legs were erased to the bone …. . Even the sea is not visible from there. We stood in line of those wishing to quarrel for the allocated rooms and turned to the dude at the reception with their problem... answer: there are no rooms. It’s like… we’re starting to swear… The dude disappears abruptly. . Another one comes – we state the essence of the problem to him and just started swearing – and he disappeared… As a result, the fourth aborigine listened to our tirades and screams with an attentive look (for 7-8 minutes) and said a phrase that just unsettled us “ah note speech rush” FSE . . Curtain....The first aborigine appeared and offered to spend the night in this room and in the morning he would relocate... 10 euros per night (Greed is defeated, we decided to pay for a room in civilization) take categorically refused…Well, we decided, they don’t want to solve problems in a bad way, we will solve them the next day in a good way!! ! Oh, a miracle... at 09.00 the next day, after our appeal, we were given a GORGEOUS room in the main building and only then our vacation began... Everything is fine in the hotel, I liked everything... But very annoying natives trample along the beach in the hope of selling their massage services, pigtails -Masichka and other nonsense... One there, nicknamed SAM, just got it, ran every day (at which end of the beach or pool we weren’t) and just starved... in short, he walked in the forest... The food is normal... they didn’t die of hunger, dates every day, oranges, slices of apples, melons soaked in sugar syrup, strawberries sometimes came across....A huge territory (see paragraph 3). On the beach of the hotel there is a coral reef, for those who like to snorkel just a paradise. There are always and everywhere sunbeds… Once a week after 23.00, the staff waters the amazing grass with some kind of G…. om, as a result, it is almost impossible to breathe… The treatment plant in Bortnichi is just a rose garden….

Free one scuba dive in the pool (after briefing), gym, children's room, disco…. The animation honestly tried to entertain us, in principle, there are no complaints... Almost all the staff communicate in Russian . . there are no problems with communication... The representative of the Anex tour, Irina, practically lived in the hotel and solved problems . .
We went on an excursion to El Gouna through the same Anex-Tour, we were very pleased....
Outcome. We have already been to Egypt several times (Hurghada Palm Beach, Aladdin, Ali Baba), but we liked this hotel the most and, if possible, we will most likely go there again... But note: 1) visa 15 killed raccoons; 2) do not buy standard rooms if you do not want to live in settlements and 25 min. move to a restaurant, beach, etc. travel agencies prefer to keep silent about this... 3) send the scoundrel SAM from me to the forest . .
