Хороший отель, но есть и свои минусы. Good hotel but has its downsides.

Chose this hotel on the recommendation of a friend. It was the first time in Egypt. Flight and transfer went well. Scat Airlines delayed the flight by half an hour, but the flight itself took less time than expected, only 6 hours. And even less back, five and a half hours. It was very important for me that the hotel is close to the airport. Just 15 minutes drive. The settlement went quickly. I took our Kazakhstani chocolate with me, it is appreciated there. I treated there to receptionists and cleaners. But in order not to wait for the check-in time set at 14.00, I offered $ 20 to give a room closer to the sea and faster. Which is what was done. We lived in building F, on the second floor. Immediately checked all appliances for performance - hair dryer, toilet, air conditioning, TV. Were warned about mosquitoes. They installed a fumigator. Not a single mosquito disturbed us. The next day was a meeting with the hotel guide.
We took one excursion - a walk on a yacht. I liked it very much. In the hotel itself, I visited with my daughter one session of relaxing massage. Of the activities proposed by the animators, I visited once shaping - on the lawn near the beach, and once a zumba. There is also yoga, but it takes place at four o'clock - the hottest, at that time we were in the room. It was very disappointing that we got into the off season for mangoes, he is there from August to May. The sea was not impressed the first time - sharp stones or corals at the entrance (then they got used to it, even without special shoes they went in). Low tide in the morning and evening. And a long entrance to the sea, very shallow near the shore. From the pier began to swim later. A hotel worker was constantly present there, who warned where and when you can swim. In the morning and evening, a family of dangerous lionfish always swims near the pier, you must immediately sail away from the stairs. Or when there was a strong wind, they were also not allowed to swim from the pier.
But the most beautiful thing is the salty clear water, which keeps and allows you to watch the underwater world without masks - various clown fish, needle fish, and many others whose names I don’t know. The hotel has a multinational composition of vacationers - many Italians, Russians, Kazakhs, Ukrainians, Poles. This, judging by the speech, did not recognize many by the language. The staff speaks different languages, everyone understands Russian. The food suited me, there is still no such variety at home. I preferred fish, it's always there. There are soups, porridge omelettes, vegetables in different variations. And acceptable meal times. On the first day, due to the night flight and the time difference, we slept for a long time during the day and overslept dinner, but when we arrived at the restaurant already at nine in the evening, there was still food and people were sitting. Twice we ordered dinner through a computer at the reception in a la carte restaurants, once in Italian, another time in fish on the beach.

One plus is the individual service of the waiters, and the food is the same as in the main restaurant. Additional dishes, such as shrimp, had to be paid already
Of the minuses, I can say that the lack of toilets on the beach was annoying, I had to go to the room. The plumbing in the room also needs to be updated.
I also did not like that in the water park the slides were turned on for only an hour from 3 to 4, in the very heat and at the same time they gave free ice cream. We've only been there once, it's far from our room. But there are many pools, and the deepest is also there.
Another minus is that on the beach in the bar free pizza and other food is ready only at 12.30, when everyone is already leaving the beach and lunch begins. And in the morning there are only drinks
. The saddest moment is that on the second day of our stay in Egypt, there was an accident with a shark on the beach in Hurghada, and this greatly affected the mood, it was scary to go into the water.
But when we were told that the water area of ​ ​ our beach was separated by a protective net, we began to swim calmly.
In general, I liked the trip.
