Well, I got to the computer and now I will write about our trip!
Second time in Egypt. Were in Hurghada.
I will say that I liked the rest. Despite all the reviews I've read.
The territory is huge and beautiful, 7 restaurants, 4 bars, bars on the beaches too. But food didn't interest us. We came to swim in the sea and watch the underwater world, which we did with success!! ! Fortunately for this there was a beach with a length of 400 or 500 meters!! ! Three visits to the sea. One on the sand, the second pontoon, the third underwater piles.
In the reviews, many wrote about various inconveniences. I will list them from my point of view.
1. Airfield.

When you are on the territory of the hotel, the aircraft is almost inaudible. When you are on the 1st beach, they fly aside (2-3 km), but it's beautiful and funny! Moreover, we got just at their air show, and for 4 days in the morning planes flew over us, made pirouettes, one by one and in groups with colored smoke it was cool !! ! Therefore, the airfield did not bother.
2. . The first boat beach.
Yes, it was a little annoying, because pleasure boats were moored nearby. But they all dispersed until 11 o'clock and arrived in the evening. But there was no smell or oil films from them, as some wrote, And there were a lot of fish, their presence did not scare the boats !!!
There were plenty of sunbeds too. Well, of course, if you come to the beach after 10 o’clock, there might not be any places.
3. Food.
I didn't go there to eat.
Although I will write a little. 2 restaurants in the lobby (we didn't like one good one),
Restaurant by the pool is good.
The Italian restaurant is excellent, in the evening there is live music for dinner,
Restaurant near 1 beach, Arabic (dinner), cool, live music, shows every day, well done service staff. I liked Mukhamed very much, he has a separate respect! The dishes are delicious.
There are also restaurants with Chinese and Indian cuisine by appointment. I liked it very much.
National clothes and dishes. It’s a pity that we signed up late, we could have gone there several times.
Bar at the reception in the evening live music is cool!!!
4. Animation.
Well, I will say it was better than in Hurghada, especially since 4 Russian animators. But of course it's weak.
5. Entertainment.
Evening shows were some good.
Sport. I played volleyball on the beach, after lunch every other day I went to tennis (it's free but by appointment), two courts with good coverage. Table tennis in the lobby for free. Play for days!! ! Not a bad gym for free. Spa for a fee.
6. Fish and corals.
Well, I’ll say this, my wife was completely delighted, although at the beginning she didn’t swim to the depths, I only dragged her in the last two days, and then after the excursion where we swam over the abyss !! ! I liked it, but I wanted more beautiful corals, and more fish. There were 8-10 species there. Next time we will go to Marsa Allam, where the hotels are new and the corals are virgin. Too bad there was no underwater camera.
7. Service.

Well done on a high level. I even made friends with two of them!
And almost did not pay them extra!!!
8. Numbers.
Everyone writes, old, generalized. Friends... you need to sleep in them. Need apartments pay!! ! I had a room with a view of the building. So what. But the planes came in for a landing during sunset - beautiful !!!
The temperature was all the time +30 +31 water +25 +27, we took warm bikes with us for the evening, remembering the nights in Hurghada. Never put on for nothing dragged!! ! At night +20 +22.
On the way back, we talked with vacationers from other hotels. 80 percent are not satisfied. The beaches are small, there were not enough sunbeds, the servants are rude.
Ride with positive vibes. Be patient with the locals and everything will be fine!!!
Happy holidays everyone!!!
Rest was a success!! !
