We were with the children and selected a good entrance to the sea, the beach is great there, you can see fish, the reef is not rich, but we liked it, plus we saw a turtle that swims to people and everyone can take a picture with it and even hug it. The territory is compact almost everywhere, the animation is not bad, but it can be better, the hotel is more for a relaxing holiday, you can write a lot about the food, but it is all individual for each person - there is a large selection, once a week delicious tiger prawns, twice there were crabs, different sweets, but the sushi was the same, it was always different, m? Yaso, Egyptian cheese is not very good, the choice is not great for small children, but my children were not hungry, free ice cream.
Rice, potatoes, pasta, m? there is always food; very often the tuna is baked
, very tasty canapé s, but there was not enough champagne for them, special respect to all the waiters, they try very hard, but it is impossible to thank everyone, they always bring beer, wine, cocktails, cola, sprite and others. Good pools, order and cleanliness are always monitored there, in general, the territory is very clean, the discipline of the staff is 5+. There are a la carte restaurants, we only had two Italian super, must? I definitely recommend to visit.
Although the hotel is far from Hurghada, we found the tour guide 1sttouroperator on Instagram and went on two excursions, parasailing and bathyscaphe, he has very low prices for excursions, I really regret that we did not visit more excursions at such prices, we traveled by comfortable taxi for 30 minutes to Hurghada for excursions from a guide, I advise everyone to apply for excursions only from him, such prices and such service have not been found in Egypt, by the way, he understands Russian, so you can call him and make an agreement, the hotel also offers these same excursions, but many times better, also because of him, I ordered black cumin oil from the factory for a very low price, which is very useful, expensive and of poor quality in pharmacies. In pharmacies there, of course, the prices are not fixed, and therefore you can ask for a cheaper one.
The minus for me in the hotel was that there was a lot for an additional price, for example, the juices were not very tasty, and soda for 2€, popcorn and cotton candy also for an additional fee, children's machines and children's cars to ride also need to be paid. I think that the hotel is not one of the cheap ones, so you can do it all for free and there would be more vacationers. Of course, if the question is whether we would return to this hotel again, it depends on the price, if the price was not expensive, then we would return, and if it was high, then we would definitely look for something more interesting.
There are no questions about the hotel, the territory deserves applause, despite the +40 jura, the grass, the plants are all green, watered 24/7. After a night on the beach, cleanliness, the pool is washed every night). Of course, I won’t find fault with the number, we came for warmth, the sea and a change of scenery and not on a business trip according to sanitary standards. With small children (1 and 2 years old) we have a new Chaos in the room every day, thanks for cleaning and everything is fresh. Water is brought every day even if we don't ask. The food is not the same as it was for 4 years, there is less choice of dishes, but everything is fresh and tasty, a couple of extra pounds are provided to me.
The staff is as polite as possible, at least at least they will understand in Russian, and whoever doesn’t understand will pretend to understand and smile sweetly nodding his head.
I'm sitting now looking at the luminous territory, just can't take my eyes off the beauty.
For small children, the coast is as comfortable as possible, small pebbles and no shells for injuries. The shallow shore to the buoys is up to the shoulders of an adult, lying on your back in salt water relaxes as much as possible. I recommend it to everyone I know from the bottom of my heart.
All my expectations were justified. Service at the level. Clean, cleaning every day. Food for 5 points, everything is tasty and varied. I definitely recommend. Territory of stunning beauty, clean sea, 2 swimming pools, bomb animation.
The only thing that bothered me at first was the distance from the city.
When buying excursions via the Internet, they additionally asked for $ 25 for a taxi.
The territory is watered from the sewer day and night. The smell matches. There is no music at all in the evening. Only half an hour for children program.
All the same, those things that you are stuffed with and you can't breathe))))))) so there is no borsch and dumplings with cracklings)))) for that you will come home and eat that borsch for 4 days and say what is good in the house)))) it's so and we bought a card for 15 bucks at the airport and handed out on their phones no problems)) no mosquitoes and mosquitoes were not observed all ok) entertainment super every time something new, ticking show and just brainstorming)) someone who wants to taste a part of the life of another contingent will definitely find something to please yourself and learn something new, and those who have been dissatisfied with nothing all their lives and will not get anything for themselves! Definitely would return to this hotel for sure)) and all the rooms are cool new brand and if you're lucky and pay $ 20 then you will get into the hatch to whom it is very important))) and shob breakfast before check-in just $ 12 from the room. . .
There is nothing to do in a La Carte restaurants, the menu of the main restaurant is repeated. The music is monotonous, usually local spill and very loud. Air conditioning in the hotel lobby is very poor, stuffy and there are not enough seats for everyone. The rooms are not cleaned, only towels are changed (no denyushka, no chocolate, no persuasion helps). Furniture and fixtures are falling apart. And this is in buildings 1 and 2 near the sea, and in other buildings there were rooms where the toilet was cracked and leaking. Bottled water is provided only in 1 place. In a word, the impression of the hotel is very bad. Well done animators!! ! Thanks to them for the leisure and warm human attitude!! !
The next day we were moved, and voila, the music was already heard through the door, plus mosquitoes were added, they went to ask, to make the music quieter, but in response they received a refusal, I said that there were mosquitoes, mosquitoes in the room, we were all bitten, they were in the place of that, to bring an electric raptor, they came and sprayed mosquito spray in the room at night, it was impossible to sleep, the child began to choke and vomit, the request to be moved immediately to another room was refused, they brought some kind of antidote spray and it became even worse, to which it came to yelling at the reception, roaring and asking to be relocated, since at 1 am the child has a bad night we need to sleep, at 6 in the morning there is an excursion. And after an hour of prayer, they finally gave us another room at night, where there were also a bunch of living creatures (fortunately butterflies), but at least you could sleep. In general, the holiday is terrible. The previous review and all descriptions are true.
I did not like the hotel, we are not the first time in Egypt and there is something to compare, even if not compared, the impressions were not very pleasant.
There is no early check-in, only for an additional fee of $30. Breakfast is not provided for early arrivals. Well, that's okay. The reception is not cozy, dirty, dirty glasses, it seemed that after the repair they left the glasses not washed. There are a lot of glass partitions on the territory of the hotel, which also have not been wiped for a very long time, this is very striking, creates a look of abandonment and the impression of complete indifference of the staff. The presence of glass in the design implies purity and airiness only when the glass is impeccable. They give one room key so that they don’t leave the air conditioner when they leave, and the refrigerator is also turned off accordingly, you won’t be able to cool anything, since you don’t spend most of the time in the room.
The staff is kind of gloomy with the exception of a couple of people, at the bars they pour cocktails into small plastic cups))) For a dollar they will pour them into a large one and even with ice, but one-time))) In the bar on the beach they often ignore, pretend that you are not there! )) Apparently, we are poorly visible for the number of Arabs))) After they pour a cocktail or coffee, they put it as if on purpose to another person in the queue)) It's all funny)) It's the first time I see this in hotels. But I will say that it is very annoying.
The beach itself is well maintained, the lifeguards are great guys. They wash sunbeds, collect garbage, the sand is pleasant and clean. The sea is beautiful! Behind the buoys there are three turtles who allow you to watch them. You can go to see corals in a nearby hotel, we even met a guitar stingray there!
Territory: The pools are small, there are a lot of Arabs, they fill the whole space both inside the pool and around. Lawns are watered twice a day with water that smells very strongly of sewerage. The stench spreads throughout the territory and into the buildings. We already wrote about this here, the hotel promised to install filters, but why, because many people don’t care about it, anyway, people go and so it will do)))
During our stay at the hotel, the electricity was cut off several times throughout the territory, including late at night.
The food is normal for Egypt, but not tasty. Potatoes are often half-baked. The fish is good. The grill is disgusting, always burnt. Sweets are okay.
The tables were dirty for breakfast, as I understand it, they are wiped after breakfast. The dining room was uncomfortable. The staff is unfriendly, wine is offered selectively - according to mood)) More precisely, they do not offer it. Service is non-existent here. A couple of times they brought wine in a paper cup...
Room: Normal spacious, no complaints about cleaning, we left a chocolate bar every time, even spun swans) But for me it was a revelation, on the pillows under the pillowcase there was another oilcloth-based pillowcase like in a clinic for seriously ill patients. I understand everything, but sleeping on oilcloth is already too much, you wake up with a wet head (on the third day I realized this trick with a pillow).
Bottom line: enjoy the sea! It turned out to relax despite the disadvantages of the hotel. I liked that you can move along the coast, not limited to your own beach.
The hotel is not 5* at all. I will not recommend the hotel. And I wouldn't go here for free. I don't understand people who leave rave reviews.
