The most important thing when traveling and buying a tour is to be adequate and remember that you bought a tour and fly to 3 * Egyptian. Very solid and worthy 3* HOTEL: Arrived at the hotel at 2 pm. The front desk immediately asked if there were any requests for the room. I said that there are no wishes for a 3 * number.

The most important thing when traveling and buying a tour is to be adequate and remember that you bought a tour and fly to 3 * Egyptian. Very solid and worthy 3*
HOTEL:
Arrived at the hotel at 2 pm. The front desk immediately asked if there were any requests for the room. I said that there are no wishes for a 3 * number. Settled in the left wing, on the third floor. The plumbing worked. Air conditioning on the verge of fantasy, but working. If you do not scatter food in the room, then the guests will not come. Room for treshki very even th with a huge balcony. Cleaned every day and changed towels every day. Personally, I liked everything, although I lived in an unrepaired building. For cleaning gave a tip once -1$. Somehow at 23 o'clock she slammed the door with the key in the door from the side of the room. Within 10 minutes they opened my room. Offered money, didn't take. They did not refuse chocolate and chewing gum.
MIRACLE SAFE:
The safe is my everything. According to the tour website, py and Biblio Globus Avenue, the safe in the hotels is free. I did not find a safe in the room and, like a seasoned woman, went to the reception. I got a paper envelope where I put the documents, phones and money. The envelope was wrapped with tape. I have signed the wonderful envelope many times. And my envelope flew into a safe under the lock. After that I was told $8 for the safe. For such a show, I can’t say that I was happy, but I paid $ 8 without any complaints. With pleasure I looked into my safe several times a day! I will not dissemble, the safe works perfectly and without hitches and losses. Reliable building.
TERRITORY AND BEACH:
The territory is not just huge, but super huge. And even clean and green. There is a playground. The beach is gorgeous. With a good sandy bottom. You can find both shallow and deep and ala corals. Barefoot is not recommended. Hedgehogs live near the bridge.
Sea trips:
If your budget does not allow you to take expensive walks, armadillos of all times and peoples are waiting for you on the beach to the left. I think the Arabs sailed on these schooners to conquer Egypt in ancient times. So there you will agree for $ 10 for an unforgettable trip to corals and islands. There is also a diving club.
NUTRITION:
I was shocked by the soups. I ate and ate and ate. Delicious soups! It has always been: Meat-fish, liver-fish. A sea of side dishes and vegetables. Someone had grit in their teeth. I didn’t have sand on my teeth and I didn’t have diarrhea either. And rotten didn’t get into my mouth. There were always fruits - one kind and a lot of cakes. Despite the announcement at the entrance to the restaurant about the ban on taking out food, I always took two Pies. I confess. Nobody took it. The cooks were very attentive to my fat waist and served huge portions of meat and fish. Were ready to give supplements. She crawled out of the restaurant three times a day with her stomach sliding on the ground.
ANIMATION:
There was no animation. But our tourists are free clowns and animators. I had more than enough. There was always music playing near the restaurant in the evening. Ours danced. Probably here to the place to write about the tourists of the hotel. Without their permission, divided into several groups: The first group: who came overseas for sun and shopping. On the beach, they sunbathe to the left. The second group is the right tourists. they are always drunk, even at 9 am. Eternally dissatisfied why Egypt is not yet Russia. And in general, they do not understand how they got into such a viper. They were bitten by a camel in the sea, and sea urchins pierced their legs on the shore. They are grouped on the right on the beach, there is a bar and a toilet and supporting the fence of a neighboring hotel. In the event of an earthquake, they jumped on the fence. The third group of tourists is a female walking on the sea in heels and make-up. I will not paint what they were looking for. I will reassure everyone who searched for that found! The staff threw all their strength into their search.
HOTEL STAFF:
Very friendly. No pestering. Everything is correct. Always greet and ready to help.
SHOPS NEAR THE HOTEL:
As you leave the hotel immediately with the right shopping arcade. I always buy everything there. Even when living in other hotels. Prices are reasonable and negotiable. Sellers as well as prices are adequate. At the barbershop I get my hair cut and my eyebrows done. If you need jewelry, I do not recommend going to the jeweler on this side. The prices are exorbitant both for products and for jewelry repairs. He announced the repair of the silver bracelet to me $ 20. I started bargaining, sent it so far that upon arrival in Hurghada, proudly passing by his store and seeing how tourists run out of the store, I ask everyone to write on the Internet how sick he is. The bracelet was repaired for $3. My sister bought stones for $150, he tried to sell them for $300. I won't point out the place of the miracle jeweler I found. No matter what anyone thinks of my promotion. But who is interested, ask, I will write how to find an adequate jeweler with adequate prices. And I beg you if the jeweler offends you. And he is like that, he will offend. Write about him badly on the Internet.

Just got back from Hor palace. Traveled with a 1.5 year old child. I liked the rest, but the mosquitoes ate it up . . The child was bitten from head to toe, in other words, me too. If you go there, take fumigators with liquid, they are better than plates. And a couple of pieces are better so that they work continuously.

If you go there, take fumigators with liquid, they are better than plates. And a couple of pieces are better so that they work continuously. On the first floor, besides mosquitoes, spiders and cockroaches are found. . . Keep this in mind. Take porridge for children, they give rice for breakfast every other day, and it’s not clear whether it’s porridge. These are the cons. And the pluses: there is a place to take a walk, a good beach, you can swim with a mask, look at the fish, cleaning every day, though there were only 2 towels in total... We didn’t need animation, the child was still small . . There were also young people, but more pensioners. The hotel is looking for its owner, for sale . . so something may change soon . .

Rested there with my wife quite recently, September 2014. The impression of the hotel and staff - disgusting!

Rested there with my wife quite recently, September 2014. The impression of the hotel and staff - disgusting! Let's start with the reception: the hotel lobby is without ventilation and air conditioning, the furniture in the lobby has been seen by the pharaohs, judging by its condition, the mirrors and windows in the lobby are all dirty, no one cleans them. At the reception, the Arab offered a "better" room for an extra charge. When asked what exactly this “better” is expressed in, the Arab hesitated and squeezed out something like “better air conditioning and one big bed, not two small ones. ” Okay, we paid 10 bucks, we didn't want to spoil our vacation with a set-up with a number. What we got: an air-conditioning window overgrown with dust, with an uncleaned filter and leaked freon, shabby furniture and stained sheets. I went to the reception, yelled angrily at this Arab - they moved us to the next room: the condo is clean and tucked in, but still - a screaming window, the noise from which does not allow you to sleep while it is working, the furniture is not so scratched, there are no stains on the sheet, but there is some kind of streak, filling the toilet does not work well, after draining, you have to wait half a day until the tank is filled again. He said about the toilet immediately the next day - zero reaction, for a week no one made any movements on this matter, on the last day the tank broke completely. The water was turned off twice in a week and the electricity once. For all day. The restaurant is simple, the food is no frills, but quite tasty. Cola, fanta in a bar on the beach - with a brackish aftertaste, they dilute it with sea water or what? Across the street you buy a cola in a bottle - a normal cola. Whiskey and rum at the bar are complete crap, switched to local rum only after drinking a liter of whiskey brought with me. The beach and the sea are good there, no sea urchins were found. The concrete path from the hotel to the pool (it is for children there, small) is full of potholes, the drawing and the mosaic on it are not restored, but stupidly splashed on top with mortar. When my wife and I flew away, the neighbor envied us, because she had 3 more days to live in such a nightmare.

It was the first time in this hotel. Read the reviews and were afraid of all sorts of horrors. But either in January there are few people and personal attention to each visitor, or competitors from other hotels write reviews, but they didn’t notice any of the described disadvantages.
Nutrition.
The food was excellent - we ate. 5-6 different dishes for each meal. Perhaps those who scold the food were expecting red caviar and super exotics, then I agree - there were no caviar and red fish, etc. But there, for the same breakfast, for example, 5-6 types of salads, and scrambled eggs cooked in front of you according to your order (you yourself say how many eggs, how many tomatoes, how much meat, etc. to add there), pancakes with different types of jam or butter, which some soup (because I’m describing breakfast, not lunch, then soup alone), some kind of meat, a side dish, a couple of types of stewed vegetables, cheese and sausage slices (THE IS INSANELY DELICIOUS CHEESE), fruits, pastries (INSANDLY DELICIOUS BAKERY from bread and toasts, to gourmet cakes, buns, pastries, oriental sweets, though they only appeared for lunch / dinner), and there are always quite banal cereals with milk. From drinks for breakfast, insanely delicious dried fruit compote. Coffee is really instant to taste, ordinary tea without flavorings, I took lemon or lime separately and crushed tea, plus from breakfast you can take any alcohol, my husband took red wine, many other compatriots took vodka. From fruits they give oranges, guava, fresh dates - apparently, what grows and ripens at this time. Lunch is clear pepper is more chic, and dinner generally takes place in a solemn atmosphere - all the hotel authorities come at the door of the porter, all the staff are exposed almost in tailcoats of dishes more than at lunch.
Bar
It’s hard to describe because I don’t drink alcohol, but my husband was constantly sitting there and our other compatriots too. I also often sat there, but took tea, coffee, mineral water or lemonades (there is a classic set of lemonades - cola, fanta, sprite)
By indirect evidence, I will assume that alcohol is normal there - since vacationers drank there from morning to evening and the next day they also came - and the Germans too.
Number
Great clean room on the second floor. Upon check-in, the truth was given $ 10 (five in each passport). In the room there are bedside tables, wardrobes, a huge, according to my feelings, not two, but a five-sleeping bed. What pleases behind the furniture is no dust - I dropped the ring behind the chest of drawers and had to move it - there was not a speck of dust (many hotels sinned not by complete cleaning). Room cleaning every day, and if you leave a dollar (or 6 Egyptian pounds), then very beautiful figurines are created from towels, and the bed is artistically sprinkled with petals) Our neighbors left a dollar there every day at the end of them works of art from towels were rolled up - moreover, standard two towels on this was not enough and they began to bring towels to room 8. There is a TV in the room (there are only 2 Russian channels), air conditioning-heater (it saved us on cold January nights), a spacious balcony with a sofa, armchairs and a coffee table. Of the small drawbacks - they gave new soap only when they moved into the room - they didn’t change the soap anymore - but perhaps this is because a) we didn’t ask b) the cleaner saw that we didn’t wash these two pieces.
Territory
Not very big, but very well maintained area. Lots of artistically trimmed trees. super care for the garden
in the greenhouse, but the truth is they only monitor the vegetation, the asphalt, tiles and curbs have not been changed for a long time - cracks. And all the paths are only swept every day, but they are not going to change the tiles in the paths and repair the cracked asphalt in places.
Beach.
An excellent beach - there is a sandy edge, there is a pebble - what the soul asks for. Of the free amenities - sun loungers, umbrellas, mattresses, towels, bar, fresh shower, toilet 2 pcs (on the pebbly side and on the sandy one). Minus - a very shallow sea - the buoys are up to my neck, I have to swim behind the buoys or near the pier. Another minus - no changing rooms - maybe it's just not the season.
Swimming pool.
A normal pool is also shallow though - up to my chest - but where I rarely met non-sports pools with a depth of more than 1.5-2 m. It is very convenient that there is an adult pool for children. The pool water is plain tap water (not chlorinated like in most pools). Minus the unheated pool. After 10-15 minutes of swimming, it becomes cold - either actively swim, or stand for a short time, sit, lie down.
Entertainment
Disco at the bar at the reception, 2 times a week belly dance, but this bar at the reception is not included in all inclusive - there are paid drinks. If you just come to dance, then it’s normal, but my husband is uncomfortable sitting like that and had to take something - and everything is paid there (the bar is designed for this).
But you can dance at the pool bar - though only until 22. There you can give them your flash drive with music. They have the equipment - for some reason there is no music.
And there is also a bunch of paid entertainment all sorts of massages, scuba diving, film screenings, surfing, etc. , etc. !
disadvantages
1. People complained that there was little entertainment. Solution - the bored went to the nearby Princess Hotel - there is animation, since it is also 3 star - they let it in without hindrance.
2. There is no exchanger, ATM and shops on site. The solution - the money is changed at the reception - though not very profitable. Everything is within walking distance outside the hotel.
3. The disadvantage of both Hurghada and Egypt as a whole is very affectionate merchants, it is impossible to leave the hotel almost by the hand they grab "buy-buy" and there are no fixed prices - bargaining is everywhere. Solution - I asked for a friend from the hotel staff and he (for a moderate fee) walked with me and then I could calmly walk in silence and stare at the windows and choose in silence in the shops. Solution 2 - everyone else used it - they just walked and did not pay attention or politely refused (specifically, I don’t know how)).
4. Our compatriots revel in the hotel to the point of a pig squeal, fight among themselves, vomit and yell, and the staff does not stop all this in any way, they just look so that they don’t break something or break it. In the mornings, there are heaps of garbage from them - bottles, cups, cigarette butts all on the floor - and there are ashtrays for every 2 meters, and trash cans at each post. Is it really difficult to throw a bottle in an urn, and a cigarette butt in an ashtray. Cleaning from 9 o'clock, you go to 8 for breakfast, and there the whole territory is littered. The solution is to just calm down.
5. The pharmacy has very expensive medicines and pharmacists do not understand Russian well, you have to show everything with gestures, instructions and composition of medicines in Arabic. The solution is to bring everything with you.
6. On the beach and the guide at the meeting is constantly agitating to go on some paid excursions, it is very difficult to get rid of. The decision - to say that there is no money - is immediately untied.
Just funny little things from personal observations.
1. In the hotel there are about 45% Germans, 45% Russians, 5% Finns, 5% Egyptians (apparently they live somewhere in the desert, otherwise why should they settle in hotels as a tourist).
2.40% with children, 50% couples and companies of 2-3 people, 8% arrived alone, 2% large companies
3.50% hotel regulars - they always go to this hotel in advance somehow book the same room. For example, a grandfather and granddaughter come to fish every year and go to the pier with fishing rods every morning.
4. There are many children of different ages. Apparently a playground, the presence of a children's pool and a shallow sea attracts tourists with children.
5. Very polite staff, but they understand more English than Russian. Russian is also known, but they speak badly.

5. The pharmacy has very expensive medicines and pharmacists do not understand Russian well, you have to show everything with gestures, instructions and composition of medicines in Arabic. The solution is to bring everything with you.
6. On the beach and the guide at the meeting is constantly agitating to go on some paid excursions, it is very difficult to get rid of. The decision - to say that there is no money - is immediately untied.
Just funny little things from personal observations.
1. In the hotel there are about 45% Germans, 45% Russians, 5% Finns, 5% Egyptians (apparently they live somewhere in the desert, otherwise why should they settle in hotels as a tourist).
2.40% with children, 50% couples and companies of 2-3 people, 8% arrived alone, 2% large companies
3.50% hotel regulars - they always go to this hotel in advance somehow book the same room. For example, a grandfather and granddaughter come to fish every year and go to the pier with fishing rods every morning.
4. There are many children of different ages. Apparently a playground, the presence of a children's pool and a shallow sea attracts tourists with children.
5. Very polite staff, but they understand more English than Russian. Russian is also known, but they speak badly.

I was in this hotel in August 2012. I knew that 3 *, I didn’t really expect service, but not to the same extent. TERRITORY. very neglected, neglected, partly completely abandoned. DIRTY NUTRITION. almost 90% of Russians with food poisoning (from diarrhea to a temperature of 39 and fainting). there is a clinic on the territory of the hotel where they tried to take medicines.

I was in this hotel in August 2012. I knew that 3 *, I didn’t really expect service, but not to the same extent. TERRITORY. very neglected, neglected, partly completely abandoned. DIRTY NUTRITION. almost 90% of Russians with food poisoning (from diarrhea to a temperature of 39 and fainting). there is a clinic on the territory of the hotel where they tried to take medicines. in the pharmacy on the street, prices increased every hour, they made an annual cash register for us. ANIMATION. there is no beach at all, music is yelling near the pool, there was a dance with skirts at dinner (like original) ROOMS. everything is very old, there was no repair for 15-20 years. a lot of all sorts of insects, spider bugs. plumbing is old terrible, if someone is squeamish, you won’t be able to take a shower. In the room there is an ashtray, 2 pieces of tiny soap, 1 towel (gray washed). RESTAURANT (actually a canteen in a pioneer camp). again - if squeamish - there will be problems. crockery with chipped edges, dirty, every day the same BEACH the beach itself, the stove, the entrance to the water is cool. BUT on the right / left of the pisra where the boats are, so in the evenings it frankly stinks of fuel. I draw your attention to the fact that this hotel is VERY LOVED by LOCAL RESIDENTS (cheap, many local families can afford to come for the weekend or for 1 day). the feeling of a walk-through yard - Egyptian children with mothers (who bathe in clothes) are jumping in the pool from morning to evening, local groups of 10-30 people each (teenagers, families, just local men) on the beach. in general, you should understand very well why you pay such little money for this hotel

Irochka is a very charming girl and a wonderful person! We took Luxor, El Gouna and a sightseeing tour of Hurghada. A very responsible and honest person! We were supposed to go to El Gouna with him, but the weather was bad and we were recommended to reschedule the trip, in case of refusal, they offered to return the money. Unfortunately, we had to leave, so we took the money, returned no problem. In general, all the guide guys from this agency are excellent guides who sincerely love their country and work (Raphael in Luxor, Ahmed in the Karnak temple, Ahmed in Hurghada) !! ! Thank you very much Irochka for offering silt us such wonderful excursions!
About the hotel... I liked the food. You could always choose something for yourself. I did not notice that the dishes were "spicy". Next to the salads there are gravies, they are "spicy and specific", but do not take gravy and the question "disappears "Although it was interesting for me to try the national cuisine. Their pastries are "death to the figure", it's good that my figure allows me to eat flour, although upon arrival, I had to go a little to the gym. About the territory... Beautiful. large, a green area with 2 charming lakes. Perhaps there is a development of the territory, but work is underway. I liked the service staff, the waiters work clearly and smoothly, very helpful and no one "grabs a plate from their hands. " Very friendly guys! I am indifferent to alcohol, but in any of the bars located on the territory of the hotel, alcohol was given in unlimited quantities.
From the reviews of vacationers who had a comparison with 4 *, they said that it is better here, because the service, and the food is not satisfactory, they take as much as they want.
The weather was windy, although the sea was amazing! We bought souvenirs in the two-story store "Cleopatra", there are fixed, quite reasonable prices. They also flew home in accordance with their time indicated on the ticket. do not look for minor flaws that are everywhere. Have a good rest!! !

We were the first time in Egypt, we liked everything very much! This is exactly what we wanted. Quiet, not crowded hotel with excellent service, friendly, attentive employees. The room is simple, but everything is compensated by daily cleaning and the fulfillment of almost all desires. Next time we will strive to this hotel! Happy holidays everyone!.
