What food system is more profitable to take?
What is more profitable to take "all inclusive" or breakfast and dinner !!! They just say that a lot of money is spent on drinks, if only breakfast and dinner !!! And just where in Hurghada you can eat well inexpensively, since hotels do not always feed well !!! Well, in principle, we are not going there.

On vacation, I always feel more comfortable all. Chilled drinks are always at hand. A couple of times they took chilled water from the room refrigerator to the beach. After 30 min. it was a warm soup that did not quench my thirst. And in any bar there are always cool drinks in the normal range (even a simple mineral water is better for me than cola, etc.). And in terms of money, breakfast-dinner is more profitable, especially if you are not fans of alcohol. The second week of rest, my girlfriend and I didn’t go to dinner at all, so the all would be optional, but we are both “water drinkers”. Look at your passions.

I completely agree orhideya21, the main thing is water, you won’t get drunk with warm water, and running every time to the room to drink from the refrigerator, you yourself understand the absurdity. It all depends on where your hotel is located, if it is far from the center, then you will have to go to the city for lunch. For myself, I just decided that only AL, just experience has shown that there is no savings from HB.

It seems to me that if you are planning a lot of excursions, then it makes sense to take HB, and if you mainly sunbathe in the hotel, then All Inclusive is better. And, of course, you can take HB only if you are without children. I always took " all in", even when I went without a child, but perhaps next time I'll try NV. In Hurghada, you can really find where to eat decently, I can’t get them alcohol for nothing, and I can’t get it for money, you can also buy in a store (in a hotel, it’s more expensive). But most likely, the money savings in the end will not be very big, at least if the hotel is inexpensive. Dinner at one of the fish restaurants cost about $ 10 (seafood soup, vegetable salad, a portion of shrimp -grill, non-alcoholic beer), so count.

the money will be the same, but the comfort is far from the same. HB is only when you go on excursions all the time. Moreover, there is not much difference between HB and AI.

If you go, for example, to Thailand, then everyone there will definitely advise HB. There AI is mediocre money thrown away.
And in Egypt, after all, rest is much more attached to the hotel ... Definitely AI! Even if you go on excursions, it will pay for itself. When you take AI, you buy not only dinners and drinks, but also the very possibility of not having to worry about it. The ability to intercept at any time a bun and a glass of water-beer-whisky, without worrying about money, is pleasant in itself. :)
No matter how some "gourmets" mock Egyptian drinks, they all drink them there simply in gigantic doses! Cola - ordinary, like ours. Mineral water has little resemblance to mineral water, just soda. Wine - like our store-bought inexpensive "from the package." Whiskey - at least not worse than the "White Horse". Beer - C grade, but you can drink.

Personally, my opinion is that all is only for inactive and heavy drinkers. I have seen many times how tourists rush to the hotel for breakfast, lunch and dinner - but how can you miss it if everything is inclusive :)) And there’s no need to leave the hotel either :) If you are planning an active holiday and not cruising around the hotel, I advise HB or BB (but not many hotels offer this type of food in Egypt). Buying water at the hotel is also not so expensive in my opinion - 10-15 pounds for a bottle of water or a can of cola, sprite, etc.
You can eat well and inexpensively in Hurghada in many places. From the fish restaurants El Mina and Star Fish - you can eat fresh seafood just for a penny - 60-70 pounds per person. From restaurants with local cuisine, I would advise Felfelu and El Arabi. But this is to sit, and you can have a bite there in the same Pizza Hut, McDonald's, CFS or local cakes :)

I am by no means "inactive" and not at all a "heavy drinker" (read my reviews).
The surcharge for AI is not great. I repeat once again, AI is not only to overeat in the canteen, but also in order not to worry about the issue of food and drink, in order to feel more comfortable and independent in this regard.
And with the offer "to have a bite at McDonald's" you perfectly joked. =) That's it! Save on AI and eat disgusting fast food. )))

If the hotel is in the city, HB or BB is better. Eating in Hurghada can be cheap and good, walk around the Sheraton you will find anything. The same is true if you often go on excursions. All is good in hotels on the outskirts and if you lie all the time on the beach.
I think for the difference in the price of the tour you will dine chic.

In my naivety, I always considered active recreation to be on the sea, and not walking around Hurghada. It is necessary to fly to distant lands in order to dine at Pizza Hut, McDonald's, CFS.

I vote for all
Much more convenient and much cheaper
than to pay separately for each glass of water,
alcoholic and not only drink, etc.
Would consider the half board option only if
if you spend all your time on excursions - then
yes - it makes no sense to pay for something
what you can't use
And since rest in most cases is beach-relaxed
(well, a couple of excursions do not count)
I still advise "All.Inclusive"

If you conduct statistics, it will surely turn out that less than 5% of all tourists traveling to this resort walk around Hurghada every evening.
Firstly, the lion's share of hotels is far from the city, and secondly, not everyone likes to walk around the dirty eastern city every day in order to get food...
So, unfortunately, very few people will take advantage of your advice.

Definitely need to take only all. The difference in price between all and xb is insignificant, and it’s better to pay an extra 50 bucks and then not bother with the question of where to buy mineral water (which, by the way, can cost 2-3 bucks per liter) and calculate how much money it will take for lunch.

Only all. In countries such as Turkey and Egypt, this is a profitable option, outside of hotels it will be expensive to eat and drink.

I expressed my opinion. And I do not like to eat in Egyptian hotels precisely because the food there, in my opinion, is not much better than in fast foods. Excluding of course hotels of a good level, and there the difference between all and half board is more.
Of course, if the hotel is far from the city, there are no options.

Hurghada can have a good inexpensive meal, but where is the guarantee that there will be a decent cafe or restaurant near your hotel. And I think you won’t want to go to the city at lunchtime, and the drivers in Hurghada are all mad. In ALL nutrition, in addition to the above advantages, there is one more thing you can try everything and not get soaked that money is wasted in vain.
But at the EL Faraana hotel (Charm) I regretted not taking HB. There, this system differed from ours only in the absence of lunch in a restaurant. And there was always something to eat in the bars. Maybe in Hurghada you can find something similar.

Coming to rest by the sea and walking (or driving) to the city for lunch, and even to McDonald's - it's somehow too much for me. My first two trips to Hurghada were on HB, but only because the difference was quite noticeable 6-7 years ago, and the first trips were very full of excursions. Now I take only ALL, although I eat very little and obviously do not belong to heavy drinkers. But in the evening I can easily drink 4 cups of tea for sweets (that's already 60-80 pounds), and if you add lunch, juices, water, the same tea throughout the day, then the difference will clearly not be in favor of HB ...

Well, what are you, the right word? What HB? Are you going on vacation or saving money? We are building a year to go on vacation! So at least on vacation you have to allow yourself not to think about saving at every step!
Moreover, there is practically no savings from HB, but there are more hemorrhoids.

:)) but I did not say that HB will be cheaper. but for me, for example, it is much more interesting to eat in a new place every day, to see and try something new without being locked in two or three hotel restaurants and five bars. For more than a year I have not bought tours at all. At first it was quite comfortable to go to hotels, but once I bought a ticket and rented an apartment, I realized how great it is not to be limited to the space of one hotel, the beach and five excursions

On that all-in, try to try everything, if the hotel is normal, a week is not enough. BUT. If you take something at the hotel and you don’t like it, calmly set your plate aside and take another dish. I always do this. I’ll take a little, sit down, try spices, salt, pungency and freshness (for example, I don’t like lamb in every hotel, it depends on the chef). If it suits me, I take a normal portion. Having ordered a dish in a restaurant in the city for money, this cannot be done. You have to eat even what you don't like.

This is the lack of AI for some. )))) On the very first day, they will choose what they like the most, and then they eat it every day, not paying attention to other dishes. And when they come home, they complain that "the food was monotonous")))))))))

Never complained about it! There was always enough variety in the event that dinner was not provided with 1 type of fish in batter (or rather, fried dough with the smell of fish) or 1 piece of rubber beef in one hand, carefully issued by the cook. There was such a hotel in my life.
And the food in Savita is characterized by me as "bad and a lot." As they say, "quantity without quality is complete foolishness." But the fact that this variety does not suit my taste, these are my problems, maybe for other people just right. Any grill and a sea of u200bu200bbaking is really tasty. And then every day did not eat the same thing.
In Domina HAREM, the variety of dishes is less, but it was very tasty.
And sitting on the all and eating the same favorite dish every day is terrible.

- If the issue is the price, then compare the difference in the cost of All and half board. It is unlikely that you will spend less than $10 per person per day on half board.
- We have regular tourists who love Egypt very much. They fly three or four times a year. They buy only half board, but always a hotel in the old town or Hadaba (Sharm, near the market) and eat fruit from the market.

Let's be specific about the money - the difference between All and HB for 4 economy class is about $ 100-150 (plus or minus) per person for 10 days. You, if you are not a glutton, will spend the same amount on lunches in a cafe ($10-15 * 10 days) plus water and drinks for about another $50. Separately, for alcohol - most people who drink strong drinks buy in a dutik, regardless of the type of food, because it is not possible to drink "their" alcohol. So, in the end, the money turns out to be the same, but All is definitely more convenient. So the decision is yours. For example, we always take "all inclusive" precisely because of the fact that we do not constantly carry money with us and do not have problems when evicting with wild bills, but at the same time we prefer to have lunch and dinner in restaurants and cafes in the city, and We buy fruits in supermarkets or in the market.

In Hurghada, it's better for me to take ALL. Because in the city (where there are cafes and entertainment) hotels are not the best. Yes, and you need this trouble with finding a place to have lunch and breaks for lunch (you won’t go in a swimsuit, after all). We prefer hotels further away from Jasmine, Albatross, Coral Beach and all-inclusive. As already mentioned, the difference in price is minimal, but there are still more amenities. Moreover, we often dine on the beach, we don’t go anywhere.
