The second time in Hurghada, I was specifically looking for a hotel in this area, because the first time I was in the opposite direction, and I can say I didn’t see the city, but there is a fairly convenient location, the old city with all the souvenir shops nearby, 5-10 minutes from the hotel , the central street of the Sheraton is also available minibuses for 1 pound stop right in front of the hotel.
OK now about the hotel - the check-in happened quite quickly, the scenario is a classic 2nd floor room with windows to the street, I immediately asked if there was something better? They told me to eat for $20, I bargained for $15, but it probably could have been for $10, and by the way, the question that tormented me at the beginning was where and when to give money? Immediately at the reception or porters? Money is given to the type who carries your things or shows the room, as soon as you give him money, you immediately become his friend and he runs to the reception and does everything, in general, they put me in a good room opposite the pool.
Food is a controversial issue, I was fine, I didn’t go hungry, by the way, the bread is very tasty, I was very surprised by this, meat, rice, a lot of salads, desserts are also good. In addition to the hotel, I had to eat in other hotels and places (on excursions), in principle, the food is almost the same everywhere, sometimes it was even worse than in the hotel. And most importantly, I have not heard that someone was poisoned in this hotel, but I had to hear about this from friends in other hotels !!!

At first I didn’t like the beach, then I found out that where and everything was OK, firstly, you definitely need a mask and snorkel, at what age you wouldn’t go, the water is very salty, it’s not realistic to open your eyes, but to swim like a buoy and not see all the beauty under water is very stupidly. There are few sunbeds and usually they are occupied very quickly, I always lay near the pool, even if I swam in it only once, there is most of the sun, little wind - a great place. At the expense of the sea, if you go down from the pier, swim to the right to the destroyed pier of the neighboring hotel, it’s deep there and large fish swim near the pipes, you can feed them from your hand, I managed to, if you swim to the left to the pier of the neighboring hotel, there are VERY many small fish that love buns very much from breakfast and if you feed them, then there is just a sensation around!
In general, the hotel is not bad / there is something to compare with, but there is no animation, maybe a slightly varied food, but the beauty of the sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bnature and the greenery around everything compensates. In the evening we constantly walked around the city, talked with the locals, made friends with very good people, and in the end we just didn’t want to leave. The staff is also very friendly when you treat him well, for 3-4 days everyone already knows you, they smile, greet you and ask where you were and where you are going, very nice people.
And the last argument in favor of the hotel, I met a couple from Holland who had a rest in this hotel for 6 WEEKS !! ! and they told me that they have been resting in it for 12 years in a row !! ! (they also always sunbathed near the pool) to be honest, I was shocked, I thought they could diversify their vacation more or choose a more decent hotel, but they still chose this one and ate in the same place as everyone else! Therefore, when the Slavs started you... and to say that the tile is old or the food is not varied, it is so annoying and infuriating that you want to do something not good physically with them, why these whims if you know where you are going, people who really have money understand that they are resting in completely different places, and here a person arrives, perhaps from the most zachuhany district, even if the same Moscow begins to Prince It's just PPC. Well, I probably wrote more about reviews about the city than about the hotel.
And a girl Natasha from Belarus works at the hotel, she sells excursions to a yellow boat with a transparent bottom, she sits in the lobby, she is a very good person! huge PLASE - if someone goes to this hotel, bring her seeds or Captan Black cherry cigarettes, or something our man really misses our little things and food. She will always help, she helped me find people where I could leave my things and wash, because at 12.00 I already have to leave the room, and I waited another 3 hours for the transfer, sunbathed and swam. And give her greetings from Pasha from Odessa!
