I have been going to Egypt for about 20 years. Basically, these are Hurghada, Sharm, Safaga, Marsalam hotels, only 4 and 5 stars, although in Egypt this does not mean anything.
Nutrition:
Well, I understand the crisis with Egypt, but every year it gets worse and worse. You need to come early, otherwise you will be left without a table or burnt meat. It is normal for a grilled chef to put the meat down and go about his business. Burnt raw does not happen. It turns out that it happens, either the meat is like that, or the temperature is not the same, but almost all the meat was burning from above and raw inside. In terms of meat, this is, in general, everything, there is also gravy, but you won’t get to it in the queue. In general, queues are a separate issue. Standing in line for part of the dinner is normal, what else to do. Here they get acquainted, and you can read the news, study the Arabic language.
The first time I saw a line for french fries. The hotel generally has a cult of french fries. She is for breakfast, and for dinner, and for lunch, and queues. But it’s very convenient: the line is often circular, so you take one dish and immediately stand for 3, but for now you can eat with your hands what you took. Breakfast coffee often ends after 30 minutes of breakfast. In general, everything ends quickly in a hotel, if you have not come to the beginning.
In general, if you are not picky and can sit on french fries and scrambled eggs for a week, then you will be comfortable. Don't look yet to see what happens before lunch opens. Somehow I happened to come a little early on the coral beach for lunch. The booths were laid out and one fell and rolled on the floor, the manager picked it up and put it with the others. Drink glasses better through a straw.
Alcohol deserves a separate place. It's normal for budget hotels to pour such a vodka. Take everything with you. Beer, wine didn’t go anywhere else, but if you are ready to live in lines. But vodka is just tin. I will not describe the consequences and taste. I'll just say don't drink.
Service:
Ah here Egypt as always. Standing with a plate outstretched for food and asking for more is the norm. Room cleaning is amazing. They put a dollar so they forgot to bring towels. The footprint from the boot in the bathroom so flaunted until the end of the holiday. Nobody cleaned the balcony for a week. For someone who may be a shock, but from my own experience I will say that this is normal for budget 4 and 5 stars, I attribute this hotel to this category. Check-in is regular, for the first time I really meet that the bracelets are after 10. Then I realized why - tomorrow ends at 10 and so that none of the newcomers get on it and they are waiting. Then you rush to the dining room, and it's already empty.
Rooms:
We lived in a building on the 2nd floor. Well, to be honest, the kennel is still the same. Having opened the door on which the door closer and the bottom is still closed with a carpet (so that drunken Arabs would not be heard from the corridor at night), we got into the room where, for some reason, there was a window from the shower into the room. Just an ingenious solution for apartments for an hour, but not for a room where you don’t really want to watch how they relieve themselves. Well, at least they provided a roller shutter and you can close it, but this window also flows when you wash. The bathrooms are all clogged, the sink is leaking, there is a flood in the shower. The first two days I could not understand why the water was flowing and cold. Then when I unscrewed the watering can, I realized that it was in her. So we washed from the hose until the end of the holiday : )
The balcony is very large but it's useless if it goes to the wall with the road. But it is good for catching eggplants with gobies that fly at night.
Mosquitoes, regular problem. They poison you every day, but it's impossible to sleep with the window open. In order not to be so stuffy in the room, we turned on the air conditioner at 15 degrees and at the same time it blew cool and it was enough for us, but how is it in the summer is a big question.
Beach:
There are two of them - coral and sand. You need to sign up for the bus a day in advance, and if you are late, that's it. We often had to stand back because there were tickets, but there is no ticket back, they take it back there, so people who are suddenly tired of hanging on the beach go for the time they want and thereby overcrowding the bus. Drive 15-20 minutes. It runs on schedule, but it is very reminiscent of our minibuses with all the consequences.
Everything is fine on the beach. Towels are stolen like everywhere else, I don’t understand the meaning of this at all. Who needs those old towels. It seems to me that the employees themselves do this for additional income. So the whole rest you should be on the alert and tie or take towels with you. Also check the cards that are given during the exchange. For the first time, instead of a card, they slipped us someone's card from the number. Everyone, do not care, but the manager on the beach helped a little and changed. The second time they just stole it stupidly when they went for lunch, despite the fact that they put it under a sunbed. In general, guard your towels or go with your own.
The coral beach is good, the reef is interesting and we were very lucky with the weather. It is very untypically hot for January, even burned out. You need to arrive earlier if you want to take good seats, otherwise you risk lying near the toilet or shops.
The berth is static, the entrance to the water is a stage. They made a second entrance from the side in front of us, moreover, they cooked while people were swimming. Safety is paramount. You swim in salty water, and then the steps are boiled.
The sandy beach, although in the bay, but for some reason there was often a wind. Further if you pass a good wild beach. The food is (in my opinion) just as disgusting as anywhere else. The bottom is sandy.
Vacationers:
It is clear that the crisis, but there it is in general. Crowds of Arabs with a bunch of children who are yelling and climbing everywhere to heat up a bunch of food in order to leave it later. You think our non-cultural people take and leave it on a plate, but they don’t. In general, where from 70 to 30, moreover, 70 are Arabs who see French fries or sweets for the first time. I am glad that they do not go to the sea and stick around the pool all day, leaving behind mountains of garbage. I have nothing against them, but if they behave culturally. Yes, our people are also weird, but for some reason in a week I have never heard our speech in the corridors. But they performed that on the last journey.
Pools:
Parkland has one heated, Premiere has one for kids and one with slides. Warm, but there are a lot of people. There is a lot of dirt at the bottom, which is not surprising after I saw how they wash the tiles near the pool and it flows into the pool. In general, it’s warm, it seems that they didn’t pick up anything, and that’s good. Believe me, this is a joy for Egypt.
Another moment. The hotel is located on the landing route of flights, so if you are a fan of airplanes and want to watch them up close, then you definitely need to come here.
In general, let's summarize - if you eat here cheaply, well, within 300-400 per person from Kyiv, then it's worth it. Because 2 beaches, the sea is good and budget. If it's more than that, I don't recommend it.
