We rested in this hotel with a group of children at the beginning of March 2017. We chose between this hotel and Palm Beach in Hurghada, after reading the reviews, we chose Sunrise. There are many impressions, they are very diverse, not everything is as chocolatey as some vacationers sing, but on the whole we are satisfied, so there will be many letters. Pregnant women, children and especially vulnerable men are allowed to read.
TOUR OPERATOR
ANEX TOUR- as someone already wrote somewhere, still those most worthy youths of the Great Cooperator Ostap Bender. Guides work on commissions from sold excursions, so the prices for these excursions are sometimes up to two times higher. They will sell them in the best traditions, backing them up with arguments like “everywhere is a nightmare and deceivers, and only our Akhmedushka tour is the most honest and decent” and tales like “just now, tourists took a safari not from us and broke their arm there, but with us it’s like this to be in in principle cannot. However, taking excursions from Anex or not taking it is a personal matter for everyone. We are not the first time in Egypt, therefore, in order to diversify the rest of the seals, we went diving. With this we were lucky, because the crew of the yacht "Lady Natalie" and the yacht itself were just on top. From myself and from all the females present on the yacht, I will note the diving instructor Rocky. Alas, he is married)) hotel, which is provided free of charge and what is written in hotel brochures. Who reads them
ROOM
When booking, we separately highlighted the requirement for a double bed. They put us in a room with two single beds and a non-working safe. The porter kindly allowed the beds to be moved, but during these reshuffles it turned out that the telephone in the middle of the beds was not pulled out of the socket and that the headboard of the beds lived a separate life from the beds themselves and was nailed to the wall. So we refused to move. It was possible to pay 10 USD. for changing the number, but the congenital toad and the matter of principle that the double bed was prescribed when buying the tour did their job. The night somehow changed, in the morning at the reception we were sent to wait, then wait again, then wait again. As it should be for all tour operators, on the second day of rest, while the carcasses of tourists have not yet cooled down, a guide meets with them, who theoretically provides information on the rest, but practically makes excursions. Until they said: “We wanted to go on excursions with you, but since we have no certainty with the number, we have no time for excursions, ” the problem was not resolved. After that, we were settled in a room with a tortured double bed, and Ahmed got his 85 bucks for two for diving.
The room for European five stars, of course, does not live up to it (a little rusty shower, a hair dryer that hangs on wires twisted with electrical tape, and which every time works as desperately as the last time (by the way, it worked for many for 30 seconds, I don’t even know which is worse), but the shower gel + shampoo + soap was regularly worn every other day, towels were changed and even on the penultimate day they changed the tulle on the windows. I don’t know why, but, probably, it’s necessary)) not only the input key. The mini bar was empty, like my wallet after a vacation, the TV showed many channels from Ukrainian 112th and TET to Russian music and local Arabic.
Cleaning service (let's call these rogues) did their best, although we ended up missing one pack of our cigarettes. For two bucks, we were spun “decorations” from towels in the form of a heart with rose petals and a swan (although I initially thought it was a worm). I’m not afraid of this word, there was even a lot of cleaning manager - he always appeared out of nowhere with “How are you, friend? Glory to Ukraine” and pursued us within a radius of one hundred meters from the room. The husband suggested that he had an observation post somewhere in the bushes, and when we approached, a signal light went off somewhere. In any case, the dude was great!
NUTRITION
In the main building there are two restaurants on the principle of a buffet - on one side of the stairs Half Moon, also affectionately nicknamed "The Canteen" and Italian on the other side. Perhaps it also has its own name, but this information passed me by. It is worth noting that the bulk of our tourists (and the contingent of vacationers in the hotel is 90% Ukrainian fellow citizens, the remaining 10% are locals, Italians, Belarusians and 1 Russian animator Sergey from Yoburg) rushes by herd instinct to Half Moon. Standing in line for rice, pushing through for potatoes and cursing for squid - that's all of us. And if you manage to fit all of the above together on one plate, and even put pasta on top, then this is generally chic. At the same time, do not forget to swear at the attendants, patamusho, yes, I have already been in Egypt, and finally I was in hotels in Turkey, so my “fi” to you (s). All in all, this is a very sad and depressing sight. Shame on you people, shame on you! In Italian, there are even brochures on the tables, saying that 842 million people in the world do not have enough food, and here you are rowing like crazy. Come to the buffet as many times as you want, but always ask yourself: “Can I eat all this that I have scooped up ?! ”. And in general, the atmosphere of the restaurant reigns in Italian, sincere waiters and the atmosphere itself is somehow very moderately continental.
There are also 2 a la carte restaurants serving Indian and Oriental cuisines. You can visit them once for free, although I don’t know who goes there for money. Apparently this whole parable is just for greater importance. Oriental (it’s also a buffet with French fries and pizza and ice cream at lunchtime (the taste is dubious, you see the Arabs also sin GMOs, but it was still delicious)), is located on the beach and left the most wonderful impressions. The meat platter was delicious and the waiters deservedly received a tip. The Indian reminded me of fashion restaurants now fashionable, where they dine in the dark. What they gave us, to whom they gave it, where they gave it to us in insufficient light, we could not understand.
The food is very diverse - a lot of sweets, vegetables, greens, squids, grilled tuna fish, mackerel and pangasius, meat, potatoes, rice in all variations, pasta, in the morning the cook prepares omelettes in front of you, and in the evenings in an Italian restaurant they cook in front of you excellent pasta with sauces. In general, the food is quite customized for us, once they even tried to cook borscht)) Maybe it was not our Ukrainian borscht, as it is, but at least the attention itself is pleasant. Many complain that there is not enough fruit, but for this you should not rake them out in basins (then it goes to waste on the floor of an uneaten basin). In general, neither we nor our men were hungry. On March 8, they baked cakes, in general, the staff in the kitchen tried their best. Drinks are the standard for Egyptian hotels, so you should not expect something “wow”. By the way, the bartender from the family pool received the prize for the title of the most greedy bartender - the gin was taken straight from the heart when asked to pour it. Note: in the shop at the hotel, strawberries cost a dollar. It tastes a bit styrofoam, but the fact that you're munching on strawberries in early March brightens up the taste.
ANIMATION
There are many animators. On the penultimate day, some hitherto unknown girl Iveta appeared. And on the last day some unfamiliar Julia came up. The girls Katya and Yana are from Zaporozhye, the aforementioned Sergey is from the Russian Federation, the rest of the guys are Egyptians. Guys, let's say, peculiar. They just need to get used to. By the way, when you read especially enthusiastic reviews about animators, know that they sin on themselves to write reviews from other people's phones)) At least one of them was caught by us doing this activity))
They mess around with children as best they can, here I’m ready to throw a stone at those who write the opposite. For some reason, those who come to rest believe that everyone around is obliged to groom, cherish and kiss their children in the ass. It's not like that, and I don't recommend it. No one owes nothing to nobody. In fact, you have to start with many terribly ill-mannered children and their parents who are completely out of control, either because they are busy with booze, or because everyone should be touched when their child, for example, screams and kicks the chair in front of him the whole flight. Club dances are present, a standard set of aquajim-darts-yoga, etc. is also there.
POOLS
There are only 4 pools, including a mini water park. Each of them has its own name/goal/theme/idea and is also heated in different ways. The largest one (the one with the bridge, which is in all the pictures) is called the Activity pool. The activity there was very doubtful, because at a temperature of +20 you are not particularly active. The second is called “Relax”, they don’t let children go there, in short, peace and quiet and God’s grace. The third is family, the warmest, well, the 4th is where the mini water park is.
SEA
Sunset in the sea, let's say in all honesty, sometimes better. From the shore you can go knee-deep, because there are corals, and the entry itself is from a pontoon. For me, as a person accustomed to “I want to buy up, I went and bought up, I wanted to go ashore, I took it and left”, it was not very comfortable. Well, can you imagine, yes, when the whole hotel is on one pontoon with only two ladders into the water. There are also fish, but they are not swarming. On the pontoon, by the way, a lifeguard is on duty all the time and makes sure that no one plops down on his belly to kill some fish or swims into the waters of Saudi Arabia.
Will I go again to this hotel, I don’t know, it didn’t strike me 100%. But overall, I enjoyed my stay there. Naturally, all of the above is my purely subjective opinion. All events and characters are not fictional. Any resemblance to real people is not coincidental.
