This was our first trip to Egypt, so I can not compare with other hotels in this country. Our operator was Turtess =)
As for me, this hotel is a good four. Located half an hour from the airport in the Makadi Bay area.
The territory is large, but, let's say, not fun (shops began to be installed just before our departure, as well as palm trees and bushes =). It consists of a large number of three-storey villas, each with 12 rooms.
The beach is sandy and clean, with umbrellas, sun loungers, wind screens. Beach towels are issued on the cards on the beach. There is a sea, but it’s faroooooooo....To the left, where the Azur territory begins (here AZUR is the hotel that can be called a 5-star! ) There is a small, self-dug lagoon in which you can swim. But if you want to see the fish (they are worth a look =), then you will have to walk 250 meters, knee-deep in water, to the sea. Watershoes, of course, you need to buy, especially if you decide to go to the fish. If you can’t buy them at home, then in a store, in a hotel, they cost from $4 to $8.
Prices in the shops on the territory of the hotel (! ) are not even expensive, the main thing is to bargain. And what is no less important, they will not cling to you at every step.
There is a lake with sea water, jacuzzi, 3 swimming pools (no heating).
The rooms are large (see photo), air conditioning, fan, hairdryer, safe, shower, bidet, telephone, mini-bar, TV (3 Russian channels (First, RTR planet and RTR sport), balcony.
Roughly speaking, all rooms have a sea view. It is very convenient that the windows of the rooms DO NOT LOOK (! ) at each other (that is, from the balcony you will NOT observe what is happening with the room of the neighbors opposite).
Cleaning was every day: changed the bed, towels, put a bottle of water, shower gels and shampoos. Of course, it is desirable to leave at least a pound (the exchange rate is 1 dollar-5 pounds, it is best to change money at the airport).
The service is good, the staff is well-mannered, the animation is not bad (but it can be more fun =). The disco starts at 23.30. On the account of whether it is paid or not, then it’s like, there were days when it was paid and the entrance was $ 12.
The food is good, very tasty sweets and meat. There will be plenty to choose from.
We took excursions from our guide (we decided not to risk buying excursions from local shops, because we were in Egypt for the first time).
We went on a sightseeing tour to Hurghada. Costs $7 per person. This option is better than taking a taxi for $6 per person. We were shown to the mosque and the only church in Hurghada. Then to a shop with oils, a papyrus manufacturing center, then again to another center with oils, teas, etc. and finally to the center of textiles, a souvenir shop. At your request, they can take you to the market. In general, for these $ 7 you will be rolled for half a day =).
We also went to Cairo ($70). The journey there takes 7 hours. Departure from the hotel was at 00.40. , and returned back at 00.45. The bus is exactly the same as the one on which we went on a sightseeing tour. In principle, the trip is not difficult, but exhausting. We visited the museum, pyramids, another center with oils, jewelry and papyrus production. Prices for a souvenir near the pyramids are less or more, you have to bargain, but to be honest, the hotel was cheaper =).
We were satisfied with the trip, we were there for 11 days, but we didn’t want to leave at all =)
The only problem with our entire holiday is the cards from the rooms. They do not have keys, to open the room, you need to put a magnetic card into the “lock”. So they were constantly demagnetized, or the door was opened 4 times (at least once the card was demagnetized for all vacationers! ), And I had to go to the reception (and it was not very close to go from our villa) to be magnetized. And also with the safes, many were strained, because. each safe is configured for an individual code, which you also come up with.
If you are interested in prices for excursions, write in a personal message - I will send you a price list.
Have a nice holiday everyone =)
