Отдых хороший, а отель не очень! The rest is good, but the hotel is not so good!

It was the first time in Egypt. We rested together with my husband. The main criteria for choosing a hotel were: low price and proximity to the sea. We are not very picky about the conditions, but we would like everything to be all the same at the declared 4 *. When we arrived and settled, I was disappointed with the 4 * hotel, as it is a solid 3 *. The sea is really very close there (3 minutes walk) and this is the main plus of the hotel, since the hotel does not have its own territory (urban-type hotel). It is also very cool that the hotel is located in the tourist center of Hurghada with many shops, restaurants and discos. So in the evening we made wonderful walks. Our room had a wonderful view of the city and the sea. To check into this room, they left 10 dollars at the reception. The rooms in this hotel are small with new furniture and a TV that shows 4 channels. The tile is also not new, but the cleanliness has always been perfect. The room was cleaned every day, qualitatively. Tipping was left by us every day.
The food is not varied, but normal. I really wanted juices, but they were not there, only UPI. A typical breakfast is boiled, fried eggs, salads, toasts, buns, pastries, cereals with milk and, of course, 5-6 types of puff pastry pastry!! ! The same pastries for lunch and dinner + cakes and jelly. For lunch, one type of soup, several types of meat, side dishes and salads. Dinner is often also kiurica, fish or beef. From seafood, once there were deep-fried squid rings. From fruits: oranges, bananas, melon, grapes, agave, pomegranate. But they were always finely chopped and not very beautiful. There was always enough food, but for something like this !!!! ! to eat, it was not. Ordinary food. For a week I ate a little and really wanted to eat a Ukrainian borscht. My biggest wish for a restaurant was some crockery and some unwashed cups. It's horrible!
The hotel has 2 pools: 1 - in the courtyard - small and cold, I never had a desire to swim there, because there is beautiful nearby !! ! sea. And the second - on the beach, but he did not work. The sea is really just a miracle: a warm and affectionate aquarium with a lot of fish around you. Get your masks!! ! And I also recommend going to the Paradise Island excursion to look at the shoals of beautiful fish and colorful corals.

Animation is very average: water aerobics 1 time for 2 days, volleyball, football - it's on the beach. And in the evenings at the hotel some kind of performance of 2 people for half an hour, and then a disco.
In general, I liked the rest, but only because of the sea and Hurghada. I don't want to go to Roma Hotel for the second time. And you see for yourself. And set your own priorities.
I fully support the words: you need to go on vacation not only with a good attitude and mood, but also with a sense of gratitude to the host country. Then Egypt will answer you the same!! !
