We rested at the hotel "Minamark beach resorts4" from 13 to 25 July 2010. No luck. Just the other day, a new building was put into operation, next to the main one, in which Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine are actively populated. And all the rooms of this building became club rooms. I describe: a small room, with a small window without a balcony (that is, there is nowhere and nothing to dry things) and with a view of the hotel dump, some non-stop humming pipe and the wall of the neighboring building with standard rooms.
That is, the standard is the same view, there are not enough really decent rooms! Not money. no Pegasus representative helped to move in. Sleep, like in a workshop, if you fall asleep again because of the noise of the pipe. It's dark behind the wall. A sump, in a word. We were 8 people in one race. All were in identical numbers. They fought for three days with the resettlement, not everyone succeeded, they moved to the same rooms, only without a pipe. The administrators themselves still do not navigate in this building, it seems that we were one of the first... ((( was the reason for changing the room. The representative of Pegasus was frankly on the side of the hotel "You yourself chose this hotel"... alas, we really chose it ourselves on their website... however, the description there was completely different... Pegasus offered us relocation in bungalow rooms with a surcharge of $ 100 for the remaining 6 days, others really counted $ 110 for 10 days, they did not take into account that we, as friends by misfortune, had already become friends and shared all the information received. In short, they fool both their own and others. better view of the windows of another building, but the distance is no longer half a meter, but four meters, front gardens, tiny balconies, others for one chair. The main thing is silence in them. scored on relocation. ve more expensive.
The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is rocky, better in slippers (20 pounds) or from the pier.

There is a city beach nearby, crowded with Arabs in the evening, with music, screams and rubbish characteristic of the Arabs, which sometimes settles on the hotel beach, sometimes I also cleaned the garbage on the shore along the way, the habit of a tourist-waterman) However, cleaning the hotel area is wonderful!
Animation during the day is excellent (exercise, bellydance, aqua aerobics, football, volleyball, darts, latino), if you are active, of course, but in the evening the hotel resembles a hospital. Although there are enough discos in Hurghada.
Kitchen for an amateur, monotonous, but edible. Dined in the city. On the fifth or sixth day, the food at the hotel was depressing)
Service: rooms were cleaned every day, towels were not reported ridiculously, porters, security, waiters are quite good.
Receptionist: all snickering, impudent. All. Administrators, managers.
As they explained to us, a month ago the entire management at the hotel changed, not for the better.
The hotel is located in the city center. If you go to the left, you can buy some souvenirs in the "Cleopatra Bazaar", without intrusive traders, with fixed prices.
To the left is Vodafone, the local cell phone, very cheap calls and text messages to Russia. A SIM card costs 20 pounds (120 rubles). I had enough for two calls and a bunch of SMS.
Currency exchange in front of the hotel.
To the right with a turn to Sherry Street is an oriental sweets shop. The hotel will not give you anything like this for dessert. And it won’t hurt to try such goodies.
There you can also drink wonderful fresh juices nearby. 1 to 3 pounds. Bamboo for only 1 pound) The choice of fruits and berries is large.
A little further is the Starfish seafood restaurant, from the hotel by taxi 5 pounds. Seafood soup only £.12. In general, the choice is rich, the cuisine is excellent, the prices are cheaper than in the hotel. It was recommended to us by locals.
All excursions were taken from TO. I liked it.
Yes, more. My suitcase arrived in Moscow without a retractable handle, with wheels that had fallen off, I don’t know what they did with my suitcase at the Egyptian airport, but it’s better to pack it in film. It will be more wholesome. May be. . .

Impressions from the rest are contradictory, the ticket is not the cheapest, the room is wretched, wretched, for the marginalized, but the sea is excellent, especially if you are fond of snorkeling or diving, the excursions are cool.
It's a pity, but this is the first country to which there was no desire to go a second time, although it may let go))))
You must visit once!
Moreover, according to the guides, access to the pyramids will be closed from 2012.
The National Museum was very impressive and the sea will be remembered for a lifetime!
It was my seventh sea! ))))
