better not to drive

Written: 29 june 2009
Travel time: 3 — 10 may 2009
I went on vacation with my husband, chose this hotel on the advice of a travel agency, they promised all the wonders of the world on the territory of the hotel, but when they arrived there they were very upset! here they write that there is no sea - there really is no sea, yes it depends on the moon and there is nowhere to go, but on the territory of the neighboring AZUR hotel there is a sea (they probably don’t have a moon) - they just arranged a beach (dug deeper) and the moon does not affect coastline! the water is cool all the time, it comes and goes every day - it is constantly changing !!
because this is an undeveloped area of ​ ​ ​ ​ Hurghada, we were promised everything on the territory of the hotel, there was one hookah with a hookah man REDA, you wait half an hour for a hookah, you call REDA - and he welcomes you again and asks what you want . . and so every day ! ! but there is no choice, you can of course go to a nearby hotel - having previously paid them $ 50 !!! ! The hookah is terrible, we were hoping to smoke a delicious Egyptian hookah . . but we smoked some kind of cinder, which made me sick after the second puff ! ! way out - bought a hookah in the city and smoked on your balcony!
we hoped to eat fruit - after all, May is the month of all fruits in Egypt - there are still strawberries and mangoes have already appeared (as well as watermelons, melons, peaches, guava . . well, etc. ) and in the "dining room" there were only oranges, grapefruits . . and sometimes guava . . and that's it . .

there was no normal food (believe me, we didn’t get snickered . . and at home we also don’t cook different dishes every day) . . but eat green beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner in all dishes . . it’s too much . . from salads there were: green beans with fish, 6 plates just with cabbage leaves, 3 plates just with lettuce leaves - chopped and lettuce, sometimes carrots with lettuce, and some sorts of kefir with spicy cucumbers, sometimes cucumbers and tomatoes were given, but for this separate waiters came out and handed out a limited number of plates, for this it was necessary to stand in line! and hotter - potatoes, cutlets and green bean stew! You also need to ask for drinks from the waiters - it’s better to ask three at once, at least one will bring !!
we went to dinner at an Italian restaurant for $ 10 per person, you go in and start eating, the administrator runs up and demands to pay immediately, he doesn’t even let you finish chewing, and if you go for an addition (buffet system) . . the chef looks at you in surprise and asks, "WHAT ELSE ?? " but they cook pizza and pasta really very tasty! ! and there was also a melon and a fruit salad, very tasty!!
and there it is SOOOOO windy, not quite comfortable, they mostly go there to ride boards . . but it would be nice to be warned about this at the stage of choosing a tour !!
the territory is not bad, but this is the only thing that was good
really, it's not all that scary - but when you wait half a year, and sometimes even a year, and don't expect unrealistic things, quite feasible, that you can get in other hotels for the same money . . of course you get upset ! ! I've been waiting for something for the whole vacation! More definitely will not go to this hotel and Hurghada, if you go to Egypt, then only in charm!
