I will say right away: my husband and I rested in Hurghada not for the first time, so there is something to compare with. I am greedy, so I chose this time according to the principle of the sea, the sun and food in Egypt, plus or minus the same thing, so why pay more ? ? I heard from my friends that there is a good resort SAHL HASHISH, I decided to "go around" according to the reviews. I found the Old Palace Hotel not a bad one, but reviews. . . guard!! ! Horror!! ! But the price was very bribe, and everyone wrote that there was a very good beach and the sea, and I decided: my husband and I only sleep in the room, the sea and the beach are good, in the restaurant, yes we will find something (with we won’t die of hunger for sure), we take drinks at Duty Free, we were never interested in local alcohol (we practically don’t drink alcohol at all), so everyone decided to go ! ! We always fly with friends, this time was no exception. We flew from Kyiv at 4.30 in the morning, departure without delay, flight without problems, landing on time ! ! Nobody greeted us with juices at our feet, did not bow, there was an attempt to bring down the loot for the "chalet" number, but we decided to look at the standard, and did not lose. The room was clean, everything worked perfectly, the bed was changed, towels too. There is a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar and two bottles of water in the room. After 15 minutes we were already on the beach, everything is clean there too, and. . . the sea is simply beyond words. Yes, I didn’t see beautiful corals, so, a few islets, but we had seen enough of them before, so we just went to relax. The food was pretty decent, the choice is not big, but everything is tasty, fresh, grilled every evening. Every evening we walked along the embankment (there is a place to walk, it’s very beautiful, and most importantly, it’s quiet and calm. A lot has already been written about the fountains, but it’s really beautiful... We went to the nearby hotel Romance Boutique to the beach, no one drove and the hotel itself is also very beautiful. This area is new, and everything is ahead of him, I think it will be very beautiful when everything is built. We took a series of massages, we liked it (they want to bargain for $ 50, they bargained for $ 30). Yes, sun loungers on the beach are probably taken at night, but these are , which are right at the water's edge, there was always enough space for everyone. Animation is calm, aqua aerobics, bailey dance, etc. . We took part in something, in something not, early in the morning we ran along the promenade, it's funny, you run past the hotels under construction, I would like to return somehow and see what they built. 8 days flew by like one, it was a pity to leave, we went into a shop nearby - it turned out to be a real estate agency, it’s cool, there are apartments for sale for 70 thousand. I think it will be very expensive there soon, or maybe on the contrary, everything will fall apart. . . it's a pity. . Egypt is a country of contrasts and that's a fact. . And the last thing: don’t believe the bad reviews, who and why else goes there, we just went to lie in the sun, swim in the gorgeous sea (it’s beautiful there) we weren’t hungry, we didn’t meet cockroaches and mice, we didn’t swim in the pool, we ate. OLD PALACE is not as pompous as the Titanic or Sunrise, for example, but how calm and good it was for us there. Will I go back there? ? I think yes, and with pleasure.
