In Egypt, as well as abroad in general, I was with my husband for the first time, and since there is nothing to compare with, I’ll just tell you how it was in this hotel.

1. Pluses - the hotel workers were not rude, did not steal (although we always carried money with us), tried to please, many are very friendly; the rooms are generally normal, the furniture and conditions are quite tolerable, there was always water, there is one Russian channel on TV - First. The food is normal, but, of course, it cannot be compared with ours, whoever is not picky will be satisfied. Pastries are good, chicken and meat, potatoes and rice are also normal. There are enough vegetables, but the fruits are very sorry. Nothing but watermelon and unsweetened melon. Animation - only on Thursday. Actually, we were not going to sit in the hotel, but on excursions. By the way, they were bought on the street.


2. Cons - poor knowledge of Russian at the hotel (if you do not know English at least at a primitive level, it will be difficult).

We lived in a 2-storey, additional building, where we were settled, and we, foolishly, agreed.
It is very dirty in the corridor, the birds are shitting, the petals are falling off the trees, and there was only one cleaning in a week. Not fatal, just annoying. Just ask for the main building, it's much cleaner there.

Room cleaning is a relative term. Towels are changed every day, beds are made, but everything is somehow dusty, the floors are unclean. I just want to walk in shoes. However, this is also a small problem.

Much worse - smells. Every day, a shit truck drove by the hotel and pumped out Mr. (in the city, apparently, there is no centralized sewage system). She stopped right behind the fence near our pool, so that vacationers had to constantly endure the Egyptian "flavors". Everyone grimaced, but there was nowhere to go.

The beach is close, but we got tired of swimming there after the first time, despite the desire to see the fish. To go, to be at least on the shoulders, one must go far. The whole bottom is in sharp large stones.
We didn’t buy swimming slippers - maybe they would protect against cuts, but the stones are still such that walking on them, you constantly risk falling. Such a bad bottom, as we learned, is far from all hotels. For example, a vacationer from Beirut (the hotel is quite far from the center) said that the bottom is good there. The water is very salty - it hurts the eyes. But this is so, by the way. In general, we swam in the pool - sniffing the vapor of a shit cart is still better than hurting your legs in the sea. And the fish and corals looked at the excursions "submarine".

Around the hotel - construction and dirt. But in Hurghada it is dirty everywhere, so the hotel is not to blame. There are simply hotels that have a decent location, although they are located not far from our Sea Garden, also in the center - for example, Regina or Minamark.


Yes, there were more cons than pros. We do not consider ourselves picky, and, in principle, we did not expect better from 3 stars. In addition, our price was relatively normal - $ 818 for 7 days for two (departure from Kyiv).
However, if we ever go to Hurghada, we will choose something else. And for those who just go to see Egypt on excursions, Sea Garden may be suitable. . .
