Tired of winter and snow, my friend and I decided to meet spring in warmer climes. The requirements for the hotel were: inexpensive, directly in Hurghada itself, a decent beach. Since I was in Hurghada more than once, in principle, I wanted to change the hotel, see what else there is for an economy holiday. We stopped at this hotel.
We flew with Teztur. Upon arrival, we circled over Hurghada for 40 minutes, waiting in line to land, but I don’t think it’s the fault of the tour operator. Registration procedure as usual. The only thing is that we did not see our hotel guide at all, however, we did not need him. Although, in principle, there could be different nuances, and I wanted to at least know how to contact him. Moreover, it is with Teztur that this is not the first time. Otherwise, everything is fine, quickly, the guides at the airport can be seen well, even if you arrive for the first time by, their bright shirts always guide you where to go.
At the reception - 5 bucks and a chocolate bar (I know that you can not give it.
but to be honest, I'm too lazy after the flight, I want to go to choose rooms, I want to go straight to normal). Room 354, on the third floor in the building next to the reception, a view of the sea and the neighboring Sunny Days Palma.
In Sunny days Mirette there are only buildings for living - all services - restaurants, bars, a beach and swimming pools on the territory of the neighboring SD Palma - therefore I will describe 2 hotels at once. The bulk of vacationers were tourists from the CIS, there were also Poles, Czechs, Germans, Italians.
ROOM: very spacious: kitchen-studio, living room and bedroom, wide balcony. In Miretta, all rooms are two-room, more than enough for 2 people. The furniture is not new. but quite decent, in the kitchen there is a large refrigerator, electric stove, electric kettle, dishes. Everything worked without interruption. I didn’t like only that in the shower room there was an antediluvian shower without a flexible hose, but I’ll make a reservation right away, all the minor flaws didn’t spoil our vacation at all. The room was cleaned without fanaticism, i. e.
they wiped the dust, changed the towels, cleaned the ashtray, but no one made swan geese with flowers. My friend, who flew to Yegi for the first time and saw in my pictures what beauty they can do, was somewhat disappointed. There is no safe in the room, the safe is free at the reception.
You can go to Sanny Days Palma through the underpass or across the road. It seemed to us longer along the transition, we walked across the road.
As for me, greenery in both hotels is not enough, basically everything is tiled. Clean and in the territory, and in the pools. In "Palma" there is a pool bar, in the pool, a hookah bar, a lobby bar. We went without children, but I noticed a playground, there is also a children's pool without slides.
NUTRITION. Everything is relative. When compared with neighboring Zahabia, the food is very good, if with Aladdin, then in Sunny Days it is simpler.
The food is standard for an Egyptian hotel - several types of rice, vegetable side dishes, pasta, potatoes, chicken, lamb, fish, salads, seafood only twice had mussels, several types of desserts. In general, nothing special, but at least it was cooked very well. The only thing that surprised me was the practical absence of fruit. That is, for example, for lunch there was only melon, for dinner only dates. We compensated for this by buying fruit in the city - a tray of fresh strawberries - 4 pounds, a tray of dates - 5 pounds, a melon - 4 pounds, tangerines - 3-4 pounds. I will make a reservation right away, we bought fruits in the old city and accompanied by a local guide. I know that in a new city the price may be slightly higher. Very good cappuccino and coffee in the lobby bar, the wine is not great, but you can drink, I can’t say anything about other alcoholic drinks, I didn’t drink, I don’t know. In the bar near the pool, pancakes, pancakes, etc. are fried almost all day long.
In general, nutrition, 4-(- for the lack of fruits and seafood). By the way, for the first time in Yegi, I ventured to try a salad with mayonnaise (before that I always took only chopped vegetables), surprisingly, no disorders or other stomach troubles happened. Yes, still, in the Sunny Days Palma lobby bar you can take free water - 2 bottles per day.
BEACH. Personally, I didn't like it. The lagoon is small and, frankly, not very clean. I don’t know whether the tourists or the staff are to blame for this, but somehow I didn’t feel like swimming among the bags and plastic cups. A little further along the beach there is an entrance to the sea, but there, you need to walk knee-deep in water for a long time to somehow swim. But perhaps, for those who travel with children, this option is quite suitable. I went to the beach of neighboring Zahabia a couple of times for 20 pounds. There, of course, the beach is much better. Sunbeds on the Sunny Days wooden beach are not new, but not wrecked, towels are different.
Let me explain: apparently, we somehow liked the beach boy and we were given just snow-white towels sealed in bags, but our neighbors were clearly given second-hand gray towels.
The STAFF is mostly not arrogant, smiling, I didn’t notice any nuances associated with the fact that we are Russian-speaking. Wine was poured into glasses, coffee into cups. In the lobby, we never stood near the counter, sometimes we put 5 pounds on the table and the service was excellent. Also, in the restaurant and in the bars, we never went ourselves for drinks - 5 pounds, a smile, "shockran" at the exit - it seems to me that this is not much, so that the service for you was at an excellent level. A very cute boy, the waiter Maxim, is so small, smart, we treated him to chocolate, so he was already shouting to us from afar: “Madame-tu coffee?
"Excursion offers are also quite unobtrusive, but perhaps this is also due to the fact that when they came up to offer something, I immediately clarified that in Hurghada 5 times and the interest of those offering us was lost. Quite intrusive, it turned out, only the representative of the SPA I had to raise my voice a little so that it dawned on him that we didn’t want to go for a massage for $40, $20, $15. I concluded that there are two good ways to get rid of obsessive "fans": the first is to immediately say that you are married, I love my husband to unconsciousness - it works, but not always. The second is to say that you already have a friend in Yegi (even if he and not at all), here it works practically in 99 cases out of 100.
ENTERTAINMENT.
Belly dancing, step aerobics, aqua aerobics, beach volleyball is during the day, a friend went, said that she liked the way Katya leads these classes, the rest are not very good. In the evening there were show programs, but we didn't go to them, so I can't say anything. In the city, we stopped by the disco "Ministry of Sound" to get acquainted with a friend. By the way, the fairly well-known "Calypso", as I understand it, does not have a very good reputation among the local people. We walked around the Marina, visiting numerous cafes, of course, had dinner at my favorite fish restaurant, Hefni.
SHOPS. As for me, near the hotel almost everything is more expensive. It is better to first walk in the city, ask the price, and then make purchases. In my presence, two girls were almost sold arafatki, for which the red price is 10 pounds, for 5 dollars.
FROM EXCURSIONS I took my friend out only on a safari. Borrowed from the local -30 dollars.
WEATHER I am in Egypt for the first time in winter.
I took sweaters with me, but the weather, by and large, did not disappoint. A couple of evenings it was necessary to put on a blouse or windbreaker. The rest of the evening was warm and short-sleeved. During the day it was great, only the first 2 days a little windy, but not enough to wear a long sleeve. The water, of course, is not like summer or early autumn, but you can swim. Although the water is probably cool for children, I would not let my daughter in.
SUMMARY. Comparing two 3*: Zahabia and Sunny Days Miretta, perhaps I will give preference to Miretta, due to the fact that by paying 3* you get 4* service. Comparing 4 * Aladdin and Sunny Days Palma, Aladdin definitely wins in terms of territory and service, but is located a little further from Hurghada. We wanted the hotel to be in the city, but not in a too noisy place, we were quite satisfied with the location of the hotel. 8 sunny days without any problems flew by like one day. All the little details didn't spoil our holiday.
