We wish the hotel further prosperity!
If you want to please the locals, bring chocolates with you. They are simply delighted with Ukrainian chocolate.
- The transfer to the hotel was from Hurghada by a separate car, very convenient considering that the distance is more than 200 km. There was a heated pool in the hotel and separately in their water park.
- On the beach there is a bar and a dining room, you can dine right there, which is very convenient.
- Excellent staff, everyone is friendly, there is a lot of food, chicken, beef, fish, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in abundance, there is animation, but not active, lunch boxes are given both on excursions and on departure.
- The room is good, a bit old, but well maintained, there was even a separate kitchenette with a stove, extractor hood and sink. We lived in room 4111, the windows in the corridor and the toilet overlooked the roadway, the noise of cars was heard, but there were not so many of them, there was no strong discomfort. There was a balcony terrace overlooking the indoor pool, which is very convenient.
- The beach is clean, there are plenty of sun loungers, the reef is not very colorful, but you can see the fish.
Drive? Yes, but if you just want to passively relax, you will like it)
The animation on the beach is excellent, and aerobics, and yoga, and bocha, and volleyball. And in the evening the entertainment of the animators is boring, as for Europeans.
Did not like:
1. Noisy in the evenings under the windows - shops below and the Arabs invite visitors and talk, but by 23-00 everything calms down.
2. The restaurant administrator kicked us out because we arrived 10 minutes before opening. We were leaving at 12-40 and wanted to have a hot lunch, because we had to spend almost a day on the road. At the reception, we were directed to a restaurant, and then they kicked us out. An unpleasant aftertaste was left by the responsible administrator of the restaurant.
In general, we are satisfied, we will recommend to friends and will come next year, although the road is tiring.
The hotel met and drove from the car to the room literally by the hand. They settled in 10 minutes next to friends, made a free upgrade of the room type.
They fed well, even compared to Sharma's Albatrosses - the food and the absence of people struck in a pleasant way.
The chef is simply amazing. And in the restaurant and on the beach, he talked like a native, sent compliments to our rooms.
Bartenders, waiters - service at height. In the morning they remembered and brought tea / coffee without reminders. In the evening, the company knew who and what was drinking: wine, beer, in Egypt I only drink UZO. This time, in addition to water and RCD, the dust of the bloody mayor's office - I recommend it.
There are three roads to the beach - along the road for cars (no traffic), along the promenade and through the shops. This is such a promenade - a pleasure.
You can ride a bus - the driver stands and waits all the time, or rather plays on the phone) Get in and go - there is no schedule.
The sea is excellent. Two gentle entrances without corals. You can jump from the concrete embankment. More precisely, it is impossible, but if you carefully and do not attract attention, you can, I agreed with the lifeguard and he did not pay attention to us.
It is possible from the pier of a neighboring hotel - no one interfered.
The weather in January-February 2020 - the sun has risen and you can wear a T-shirt and without. They went to the Divino disco and returned at 3-4 o'clock in T-shirts.
We met the dawn in the desert - it's windy there - but it's normal in a windbreaker.
Spa at the hotel - MAIUSHKA (May) - just a great young lady. I advise. Bargain. They do it on the beach and in the salon. I liked it better in the salon.
The animation is normal, but again, there are not so many moving people - so the disco is surprisingly larger ...Although the hall and acoustics in the Red Club hotel itself are just offset.
On the beach they played volleyball, darts, bochu.
Also on the beach there are always “funny things” - late meal at 11 am - fruit and cake, meat, etc.
Ibragimushka and other sellers of excursions (near the Total gas station) - big hello - they didn’t buy anything, they just talked. They left them a T-shirt "Let's score", pasted on the booth "Dynamo Kyiv". They promised to sing Dynamo-Dynamo to tourists.
Separate greetings to the palm man - Malik, Alina, Iva and the second animators.
All rooms are normal, but keep in mind - they were built as apartments for sale - choose.
We had 3125.3126, 3120.3121 - quiet and calm, close to the restaurant.
Responsive staff, work like bees.
The food is very good, everyone is happy.
Animation is always friendly, always trying to entertain something and can sincerely talk, especially guys from Ukraine (Igor and Ilya) respect them!
The area is good, there is a promenade where you can walk and sit in a cafe.
Satisfied with everything, ready to return again!
We booked the Executive Suite. Unfortunately, the room turned out to be the biggest disadvantage of the hotel. An ordinary, not cozy two-room suite, with a minimal set of furniture.
Especially irritated were hard and high pillows, as if sofas, a hard mattress, old bedding, a loud creaking door to the bathroom. Sometimes rusty water flowed from the hot faucet. The child's mattress was completely collapsed. The duvet cover is torn and does not fit the duvet. True, after the first request to replace him, he was replaced. You have to give credit to the service. Everyone is attentive, friendly, you don't have to ask twice. Lots of staff, always willing to help. Service is a plus of the hotel.
The second and last plus was the food. Varied, delicious.
There is a water park across the street from the reception. Zone for kids, and 4 slides for older ones.
It was a 10-15 minute walk from us to the beach. But we lived near a large pool, these are the most distant buildings. From the main building to the beach, probably 5 minutes. The beach of this hotel is the very first, closest to the marina. There were always enough sun loungers, although we arrived late.
It was written here that only at Sunrise Beach there is a sandy entrance to the sea, but that is not so. There are two more beaches behind Sunrise Beach, they all have a sandy entry, and moreover, the sandy bathing area is wider than that of Sunrise.
Here you need to talk about the marking of areas for swimming and snorkeling. Since there is a fairway nearby, where yachts often sail, the bathing area is separated by buoys. There is also a deep area above the reef for snorkeling and diving. From the shore to the white buoys there is a sandy zone, white buoys mark the beginning of the reef, and you can’t swim beyond them, because it’s shallow and the corals are too close. Between the whites and the reds, you can snorkel, this is the edge of the reef and it is deep, but the entries into this zone are strictly defined on each beach: Sunrise has a sand passage (strictly marked), the rest - from pontoons. Perhaps this was meant when it was said that the sandy entry was only at Sunrise ...
As for the reef, we swam along it all the way to the permitted edge, this is behind the second pontoon ...
Yes, not bad, there are a lot of fish, but to be honest, I liked the house reef at the Mercure Hurghada hotel more. Perhaps you need to move to the opposite side of the strait, and it would be more colorful there, I don’t know ...
As for the contingent - only Europeans, not a single Russian-speaking one. From Hurghada airport we got an individual transfer, because there was no one else on our flight to Marsa. Landed, immediately started, arrived in 2.5 hours.
In general, not bad, for a 7-day holiday is suitable.
Now about everything in more detail.
Food: beyond praise, the choice of dishes is huge. Breakfast: fruits: melon, 2 types of orange, apples, a mixture of apples with melon, 2 types of guava, bananas, peaches, dates, dried apricots, raisins and figs.
8 types of yogurt, a huge amount of sweets and bread, honey, jam, etc. , vegetables, cheese, sausage, scrambled eggs, cereals and much more.
Lunch: a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, sweets, 3-5 types of fish, 7-10 types of meat, salads, pasta, pizza, crabs, soups.
Dinner: variety, like lunch, but different. Of the interesting things were: grilled chicken, turkey, turkey rolls, crabs, duck, partridges, quails, etc.
For 9 days did not repeat.
The restaurant has a bar with alcohol and soft drinks.
Bars: the main one in the lobby is open 24 hours, alcohol is free until 00:00, a huge variety of cocktails.
The pool bar is open from morning to 17:00. Everything is always there.
The bar in the water park is open from morning until 17:00. Everything is always there. From 12 to 17 you can eat. Enough choice of everything, pizza with tuna, beef burgers, Greek salads, Caesar, vegetable, ice cream, waffles, etc.
The beach bar is open from morning to 17:00. Everything is always there. From 12 to 17 you can eat. Enough choice of everything, beef burgers, tuna sandwiches, Greek, Caesar, vegetable salads, ice cream, waffles, etc.
Bar in the club. Everything is there, it works from 21:30 to 1:00 approximately. Paid only on Thursday, the day of the disco.
Of course, Egyptian alcohol is not very good, in cocktails it is not bad. Beer is good, wine is not for everyone. Yuppies juices.
All pools are heated and there is another pool in the main one and at the water park but it is not in use.
A la carte restaurants: two of them in each can go once for free. Mediterranean and Arabic. We were in both, very tasty, enough choice of dishes on the menu and very large portions.
We liked the Mediterranean one better.
The hotel is more than 90% Europeans, ours and Arabs are very few.
We were satisfied with the animation. Every day in plain sight, yoga, aerobics, volleyball and much more are held, but there are few people who want to take part. All are welcoming. In the evening there is always a show program, every day a new one during the week. Then it repeats. There is animation for children and a water park.
There is a club on the territory of the hotel, for tourists of this hotel the entrance is free, the bar is paid for everyone. The club attracts people from all over Port Ghalib. Works only on Thursday.
On other days there is an evening program.
On the street near the lobby every day live music.
All bars have waiters. The staff is excellent. Charged for high service. Tea is not squeezed out. Cleaning on request every day.
The rooms are in good condition, spacious, everything you need is there, shampoo, liquid soap, cream, etc. Water is given every day for 2 bottles of 0.6 liters. You can ask for extra free and collect bottles yourself at the bars.
The territory is large, there is a lot of greenery and there is a promenade where there are many yachts, many shops and cafes, although the minus is space prices, focused on Europeans. Shops near the hotel are only on the territory, there are no more in the area. There is 1 Adam supermarket with fixed prices, but it takes about 20 minutes to walk to it.
Tours can be bought from the guide and on the street. But again, prices are space and are not traded, here you are not Charm.
The water park consists of 4 slides and is open from 10 am to 12 pm and from 2 pm to 4 pm. There are no complaints.
The beach is clean and the sunbeds are in good condition. Towels are always and everywhere. You can take them to the beach, water park and pool. The entrance to the sea is sandy, without pantone, almost immediately deep. The coral is beautiful, a lot of fish, we saw a dolphin and a turtle.
On the territory there is table tennis, a gym, a tennis court, basketball, volleyball and a football field.
There is almost no wind on the beach and pool, but there is at the water park. The heat was in the shade 28+.
All the top staff met with us one day (chef, chief cleaner, head of the beach and pools, deputy general manager, head of the main bar) and were interested in the quality of service and what did not suit us.
The staff does not speak Russian well, but they will understand you.
Walk to the beach for 5-7 minutes, there is a shuttle.
Upon departure, we received dry rations, you need to order from the guide in advance.
Of course, it takes a long time to get from Hurghada, 3 hours by bus, but it's worth it.
