Спокойный отдых. Calm rest.

We stayed in Movenpick from April 17 to April 24.2013. I contacted Guest Relation Julia in advance and asked for a room with one large bed, and they gave us such a room. All inclusive. tour operator Coral, the meeting party Odeon, met, took everything fine. We arrived at the hotel in the morning at about 10 o’clock, we waited for a room for 15 minutes, there are no bracelets in the hotel, the food program starts at 14 o’clock, before that you can’t use the bars and the restaurant for free. Julia told us everything about the hotel better than the Odeon guide, thank you very much, she is a good helper for tourists.

The room was given in building C on the ground floor, very nice view. Everything is clean and in good order, the bathroom has a beautiful shower. Non-smoking rooms on the first and fifth floors. The hotel area is not large, but very green, before that we rested in Movenpick in Jordan on the Dead Sea, of course there is more territory, and the service is much better, in short, there is something to compare with.

A lot has been written about the hotel, I will not repeat it. According to the all-inclusive system, you can go to one of the a la carte restaurants, we were in Indian, we were waiting for our order for 50 minutes, my husband wanted to leave already, but we still waited for food, I won’t say that it’s very spicy, wine they poured the second glass not very willingly, as if we had drunk them, they give places in the restaurant to Russian tourists in the second row, and not on the first, where a gorgeous view of the bay opens, probably foreigners need it more, but we are not offended that we didn’t see beauty, mosquitoes ate all my legs in the restaurant, you only need to wear trousers there, but there are mosquitoes in the hotel, but there weren’t any in our building, but in the second there were a lot, people complained and asked for fumigators at the reception.

Now for the cleaning of the rooms.
Cleaning is just a song, our boy always came to clean up around 15 pm, when it was very hot and I wanted to sleep after dinner, it's just horror, but the cleaning in the room was of high quality, it just seemed to me that the hotel lacked staff, as cleaners and waiters in the restaurant, especially at dinner, the tables did not have time to clean, the order for drinks was taken slowly, and the drinks themselves were brought when we had already eaten dessert, while we almost always left money, both for the cleaner and for the waiters. They would have to practice in Jordan in Movenpick, that's where the service is.

The beaches are all clean, we went to all four, mostly sunbathed on the third, and swam on the fourth, there were low tides in the mornings and a strong wind on the beach for a couple of days. There are always free sunbeds both on the beach and in the pool. Towels are changed without problems.

Very tasty ice cream Movenpick, ate a couple of times, free of charge from 15 to 17 hours at the pool.
Of the fruits in the restaurant, there were only apples, oranges, bananas, there were no strawberries at all, and this is very strange, there are a lot of them in Hurghada at that time, as well as melons with watermelons, this is a problem here. In the morning, fruit smoothies are prepared for breakfast.

The counterparty of vacationers is many-sided, Italians, French, few Germans, Arabs, Ukrainians and Russians. According to the all-inclusive program, you have to sign zero checks every time, this is not very convenient, and this program is not very flattering to the service staff, they shine in a smile for the money, and they are very happy with them. There are very few all-inclusive cocktails, the most normal we drank at the Panorama bar is a mojito.

Room check-out at 12 o'clock, after that everything becomes paid, if you want to have lunch, then lunch will cost $ 20.


We were on excursions from the tour operator on the yacht Nautilus (the guide said the yacht was like that of Abramovich, it would be better if he was silent, the vessel), the price of the excursion is $ 100, it is not worth it.
The hotel really lacks a pharmacy and a store where you could buy juices, there is a store nearby just opposite the Sonesta, but it's very far away, the pharmacy is only in the Guffy hotel.

If you do not pay attention to all the minuses, then you can rest easy, which we did.
But overall, I really liked the hotel.
