At Hawaii Le Jardin Aqua Park 5 * our family was THREE TIMES - November 2017, September 2019 (wife with parents) and March 2021.
I will not sing the praises of a green well-groomed territory, a water park, a large number of pools, etc. - a lot of tourists have already written about this before me.
I would like to give some chronology:
- 2017 - affordable price of rest, poor entry into the sea, GORGEOUS food, live music and interesting shows in the evenings, good updated rooms.
- 2019 (according to the spouse) - the sea has gone further from the coast, but the hotel administration has focused on service, in particular on service and food. Always different types of meat (including DUCK BREAST), a lot of side dishes, salads, etc. Often shrimp and other seafood.
- 2021 - the sea has gone even further, you can swim from a multi-colored pontoon, but it's hard to climb back on it, especially during high tide.
Now in more detail about the rest from 03/09/2021 to 03/19/2021. This time we were settled in the left wing of the building, in room 2426 - this is the 4th floor, overlooking the main pool. The room was received without additional payments, the porter was given a dollar, as they had done before. The number itself - quite to itself, in the spirit of Hawaii - slightly beaten, but tolerable. TV - Samsung LCD, 3 Russian-speaking channels - 2 news propaganda and TNT. There were no Ukrainian channels.
Nutrition. It turned out an interesting mix of portions and free access (like the usual All). Chefs stood near most of the dishes and poured them in portions. Biscuits-cakes - too, but towards the end of lunch / dinner, sweets could be taken on their own. I will say right away that the portion system did not upset us at all. Meat has always been chicken, turkey and lamb. Fish - 1 grade every other day, side dishes - beans, pasta of various types and rice. Fruits - oranges (whole and sliced), physalis (I have never tried it before, because all the time in Egypt it was autumn-winter, off-season), dates, melon, pomegranate (3-4 times a week), bananas (there were almost every day, but they were raked instantly, it seems that people have never seen bananas in their lives). Honestly - compared to 2017, the food has become WORSE. The coffee is DISGUSTING, even from the coffee machine at the bar.
Contingent. In less than 2 weeks, the change in the population of the hotel was dramatic. When settling, there were approximately 35% of the Arabs, 60% of ours (Ukraine) and approximately 5% of the EU and Belarus. At the end of the holiday, the Arabs became about 55-60%.
Children. They are dofiga, and the most interesting thing is that Arab children did not cause almost any discomfort, compared to Slavic children.
Pools. Of all the pools (and there are now about 10 of them, along with children's "paddling pools"), only 1 was heated, and the one for ADULTS. Guess who was there the most? That's right - CHILDREN))). It would be better if they turned on the heating on the main pool. But after lunch, all the pools warmed up enough to allow a normal dip and cool down (I wouldn’t swim for a long time).
SEA. It is not there, but this did not bother us, since it was far from the first time in Egypt, and we took excursions to see marine life.
guide and staff. The hotel guide has changed, prices from ANEX for excursions have fallen, so they didn’t take it from hand, but took a yacht for 30 and a safari for 25 each. Previously, guided tours were 2 times cheaper, now the difference is 5-10 dollars. The staff is friendly and smiling, they paid only 1 bucks to the porter, but they experimented with chocolates (for the first time ever). Chocolates were taken in the same way as bucks, once even a heart was rolled out of beach towels. In general, you can give money, you can chocolate, but you can give nothing))))
LIFE HACK for those who do not want to drink alcohol from 50 ml cups. At the bar, they pour it into their own container. We took 2 fresh for money (it was 3 bucks for a large glass, 5 for two glasses agreed). The capacity of the glass is about 0.5 liters, so they poured beer and rum-cola into them))) Bartender Said was given a chocolate bar at the pool bar, but I'm not sure that this had a strong effect, since he was initially very positive and normal.
Summary. For those who have seen the best days of the hotel, the trip now will be somewhat of a disappointment. Those who are in Hurghada for the first time and want to relax in a hotel with water slides, a bunch of pools, quite normal staff at an adequate cost - I definitely recommend it.
