A little not about the hotel, but about the tour operator:
They flew from the JoinUp operator. First time in Egypt.
Arrived late at night in Hurghada. The airport met with mud. Immediately upon arrival, we got divorced with +2$ visas, as we saw the operator's plate in the hands of an Arab, yelling the name of the operator who sent him to the counter with the same plate. We thought our guide met like that. A rhetorical question about how the operator treats such swindlers and how did they even get into the passport control zone, where the police are looking? And also why there was no sign at the meeting "guide", who was found only about a hundred meters from the airport, slightly mumbling JoinUp.
Now about the hotel:
+ Huge green area
+ Pretty clean hotel
+ a good buffet (the dishes are not peppered, although not everything is edible), they don’t know how to cook potatoes
+ there are two free fast food outlets with burgers and fries, the quality is good
+ rooms are very large
+ there is a reef and there are beaches with more or less normal entry
- Wi-Fi is available, but there is no Internet or paid
- a la carte restaurants serve almost the same as the buffet
- terribly divorced at a New Year's dinner in the Ostrov restaurant for 40 euros per person. For this money, they served half a small lobster without claws, pouring in inedible sauce, 3 shrimp and a few pieces of squid, although when paying they promised the weight of lobster and shrimp in 1 kg, while the shrimp were not served in the dish and the manager had to point it out, after which they were brought separately. But every 5 minutes the waiters ask with a smile: "Gut? ", Dessert did not wait.
- there was a lot of hair on the bed
+/- the bed was quickly changed
- refused electronic lock on the front door to the room
+/- the lock was promptly fixed
+ the hotel is old, but they are trying to renovate, overall it looks nice
- it is repaired as follows: we paint the walls together with the frames, the frames together with the tiles, do not paint behind the sofas
- neighboring hotels of the same chain and also 5 * look much more well-groomed, but they have less green area
- they write in advertising and say at the reception that you can use the infrastructure of the neighboring 4 hotels of the same network, but in fact they can drive another hotel, pool from the beach. They took away the inflatable cheesecake when they wanted to go down the hill on it in the water park of the neighboring hotel and were not allowed to move out even to return it to where they took it
- the staff comes into the rooms even with a sign "Do not disturb" and steals (or hides to steal later). It was discovered right before departure, when, after returning from breakfast (the "Do Not Disturb" sign was hanging), they did not find a chocolate bar lying under the mirror, although they were going to leave it along with other sweets anyway
- The package includes a sightseeing tour to Hurghada. The guide takes you to shops with a horse price tag, you almost didn’t manage to walk around the city, and there’s nothing to do there.
If you do not need oils at inflated prices, then you can not go.
- went on an excursion to Luxor ($65 per person) from a hotel guide, overpaying half the price compared to prices on the Internet. We spent much more time on the road than on excursions - 5 hours each way, although they promised 2 hours. Very little time was allocated to the locations themselves. As an additional excursion there was "Banana Island" for $ 10, where you need to sail along the Nile on a boat. Only this is not an island, but a plantation on the banks of the Nile. While sailing along the Nile, they overtook the swollen carcass of a donkey. You can go only if you have not seen how bananas grow. We went because we asked the guide to show where to buy fruit. The guide said that he would give packages and we could pick fruit there for free. In fact, it turned out that we can collect leftovers from the tables from the treats (cut fruit) and bananas. Sliced fruit was not eaten due to unsanitary conditions. As a result, it turned out that they paid $20 for half a kilo of bananas.
In general, Egypt represents an abundance of begging Arabs ala gypsies, solid dirt, a bunch of checkpoints with machine gunners, deceptions and divorces out of the blue. We won't go again.
