We rested at Beach Albatros Resort 4 * from March 20 to April 3. Through the tour operator TEZ-Tour. Departure from Domodedovo. Wim Avia airline. Hotel for 4 *, very worthy. And now in more detail and in order. Initially, we planned to relax in Albatros Palace Resort 5 * (they were last year, I liked it very much, there is a review), but on February 10 the hotel was in the stop. Because hotels are nearby, then a general idea of
This hotel was, so we decided to relax in it.
We rested with a company, two families (me, husband and daughter 7 years old + my sister and daughter 12 years old).
1. SETTLEMENT. Because Since we had an evening flight (departure at 17-15 from Moscow), we ended up at the hotel at about 23-00. When checking in, the receptionist put $20 in one of the 5 passports and asked for 2 good rooms next to each other. We were given the keys to the rooms on the 4th floor in the main building.

2. NUMBER. The rooms we really got were not bad (though small 20 meters, for 3 a bit crowded), overlooking the children's pool (435 and 439). The rooms are not luxurious, but have everything you need (refrigerator, safe, TV (3-4 Russian channels), air conditioning, large beds 1.5 sleeping). Because the hotel is almost 20 years old, the furniture in the rooms is not new, but also "not killed". In the bathroom, from hygiene products, only liquid soap and other paper, there is a hairdryer, shower,
a sink and a toilet bowl (which can be used as a bidet, there is a valve on the side of the toilet bowl, you unscrew it and warm water beats like a fountain). The room was cleaned well, we put 1-2 dollars every day (although the amount of money did not affect the quality of the cleaning). Everything worked in the room, and there were no problems. A day later, the manager came, knocked on the room and asked if everything was okay.
I would also like to say that when checking in, there were only 2 beds in the room, and the 3rd for my daughter, they brought as much as 1 hour 30 minutes. nights and then after I went to the reception 3 times and reminded.
3. FOOD. The hotel has 5 restaurants. On the 1st floor "Sea Omar" (local cuisine), "Mediterranean" (Mediterranean cuisine), "Le Asian" (Asian cuisine), on the 2nd floor "Kaiser" (German district), "Salsa" ( Mexican). The food is very tasty and varied, different fruits, a lot of meat and fish dishes and awesome pastries (especially delicious cakes in the Asian region). For breakfast, restaurants on the 2nd floor make freshly squeezed orange juice. You can eat in any of the 5 restaurants. There is no need to arrive early and reserve a table. There are enough tables in restaurants, and there are also open
terraces on the 1st and 2nd floors. You don't have to wait for waiters with drinks. Every restaurant has a bar, you come up, ask for something to pour, and take it to your table. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, from 15:00 they make pizza near the beach, bake pancakes, and from 16:00 they bring all kinds of pastries to the terrace to the Calambus Cafe and you can sit, drink coffee, have a bite.
4. BARS. Bars and cafes in the hotel, pieces 6 or 7, specially not
considered. In the lobby bar and bar "Arabesque" vyryat vkusny coffee (espresso, cappuccino... ), make delicious milk and alcoholic cocktails. From 12 to 20 o'clock in the lobby bar there is ice cream for children, but no one drives the adults away either.

5. ENTERTAINMENT. On the territory there are 2 water slides for adults, but children also ride them. The only thing is that it is better to go down the slides on a circle or an air mattress, otherwise the speed is not very good and the seams (joints) are felt. You can buy a circle on the spot (there is a tent near the slides, a large circle with handles costs $8). There is also mini golf (free of charge), tennis (ball and racket rental for a fee),
gym (free). There is a bicycle rental ($10-hour) and electric car rental for children ($5-15 min. ).
6. ANIMATION. Separately, I want to talk about Animation!
First for adults. Animators (Koko, Pinko, Ziko, Sisko and Eya) as well as animation class, some write that it is not visible, but..... they are to blame, you have to look at the program schedule and then everything will be ok! In the morning at 11-30 in a small pool of aqua aerobics. During the day on the beach and volleyball, you can also play bocce. And what started in the evening......
in the amphitheater at 21-15, after a mini-disco, a comedy show, an African show, a cobra show, a fire show, karaoke... but the pharaoh show is complete nonsense, I don’t advise you to go. Hours from 9 pm on the open terrace near the "Calambus cafe" live music and disco. The boy sings songs in different languages. Here you have "White Roses", and "London-Paris", and "Cheri Sheri Lady", etc. In the evening, at 23-30, a meeting at the reception and everyone (free of charge) is taken to the HAVANA club! ! There you can dance and watch various performances (fire show, brazil show, capoeiro, Lady in Night competitions... )...
Now for the kids. There is a playground. Here you have swings, carousels, all sorts of climbing slides....There is a children's club next to the playground. Every day, animators gather children by the pool at 10-30 and take the children to the children's club or to the neighboring Albatros Palace for children's water slides . In the evening at 20-30 in the mini-disco amphitheater.

7. BEACH AND SEA. The beach is sandy, smooth descent, without corals (special shoes are not needed. The sea is warm (25-28 degrees), clean. There are no ebbs and flows on the sea, the sea is always "in place". And in general, we were very lucky with the weather. In the morning (at 10 am) in the sun from +31 to +39 degrees, on the penultimate day (April 2) it was +44 (there is a thermometer on the facade of the main building). We came to the beach at 10 am, there were always free sunbeds either by the pools or on the beach itself, though not on the 1st line.
on a "banana", "tablet" ($30 for two -15 min).
8. TERRITORY. The hotel area is large, very green, many palm trees and beautiful flowers. Arabs from morning to evening lick the territory, loosen everything, clean, wipe.
9. EXCURSIONS. From TEZ-tour we took an excursion on a bathyscaphe. The price for adults is $40 with a discount, for a child $25 without a discount. I liked it very much. Sea fish, beautiful as in an aquarium. The only negative was that there was a strong wind on the day of the tour. In the bathyscaphe, everyone was quickly seasick and we asked to go ashore, but this did not spoil the overall good impression.
On the territory of the hotel, there are souvenir shops, so souvenirs, oils, perfumes can be bought there. The prices are not higher than in the shops of Hurghada. In general, everything is fine, I think the hotel is worthy and deserves its 4 stars for 100%.
P. S. As after the first trip, I again draw a conclusion for myself. If you rest in Egypt, then only in the PeakAlbatross hotel chain... all the same, service and food (for Egypt) are at a high level.
