Hello everyone I didn't want to write a review, but after today's news (03/27/25) about the tragedy with the bathyscaphe, which sank with 45 tourists ! I decided to write !!
There are no special complaints about the hotel itself , in small things : no spoon ( for shoes ) since you often change into sneakers in the evening
The food is like in a cheap canteen in Moscow
It 's fast to learn , but there 's always plenty to choose from ..
The animation is monotonous, the live music is not impressive at all (
There is no disco at all! ( unless you're going somewhere with the animation guys, they sort of organize it )
The most BOUNDLESS thing is Excursions !!!
Pure divorce for money!!!
The Guides themselves pretend that they do not understand Russian words , but when they need it , I will tell you Pushkin's poems.
In general , of course , when I was divorced , I was not laughing !
I completely refused swimming excursions, I said I can't swim, the child is 6 years old, respectively, on bananas and pills (where everything is pushed in different directions), of course, I was against it!
The only thing I wanted to see was not in the depths , the fish with their masks , without scuba diving !
So this " salesman" got hooked on it and offered an " exclusive to the island" (the same thing ended up being A SWIMMING TOUR!! When we arrived ( 1 hour drive), although they say 30 minutes !!
I was just stunned by their brazen lies!!
We sat all day and watched how the " brave, drunken " dived into the depths and " flew " on pills!!
From the DAY from 7 a.m. to -20:00, we only went down for 20 minutes to look at the coral and fish ( by the way , there were 2-3 species ) It was mostly blurred and nothing was visible !
And the "island " that he advertised to us, supposedly there you can not see fish at depth, just covered with squeaks and fenced with boards .. the canopy was made of such wood and under it ... Voila ... the dead , smelly poufs , it was scary to lie down on them , to be honest
As a result, the child was in a gloomy mood all day in the heat . 😖
They gave me an hour to buy , sunbathe , and drove back 👍
The Sofari tour can be recommended, but the attitude of the organizers themselves is disgusting, rude, shouting..
In general, I received my emotions to the fullest
In general, they began to behave impudently , asking for tips somewhere (
That 's the result of this tragedy , 45 people were crammed in !!! It should be scored like a tin can, I'm sure according to the rules it was possible for no more than 20 people! But in order to put more in your pocket, that's what happens!! They just couldn't pay it all
We were at this hotel in early June.
We really liked everything. Polite staff, cleanliness in the rooms and well-maintained territory. A great beach with its own reef. The food is delicious and varied. The animation is great. Our 4-year-old boy really liked the children's club, where the wonderful animator Zhenya worked. She's great, she finds an approach to every child. Big greetings to my wife. Especially from Roma. Everything in this hotel is perfect. Let's come back here again!!! We recommend it !!! 👍
I had a rest this year, the last time I went to Egypt in 2006, the hotel is 30 km from the airport and, I think, 5-6 kilometers from the highway, it's far for me, we left the airport last of those who arrived on our plane, the issue of leaving Hurghada with the police was solved for a long time, slowly, with stretching, as a result, the trip it took not 30-40 minutes, but 1.5 hours with arrivals at other hotels, arrived at 2 a.m. at the hotel, checked in quickly, there was a sausage dinner on the table (in Egypt I don't eat it like paper), cheese, fruit, water in the refrigerator.
There's someone else's hair on the bathroom wall, the light is very dim (you won't have to read it), otherwise it's good.
The food has been good all this time:breakfast, lunch, dinner. Drinks on the beach from 10:00, but you come to the beach after breakfast and beach bartenders serve drinks, the staff practically does not know Russian, there is no desire to learn it, the hotel is for foreigners (Germans, Dutch, Slovaks, French, Spaniards, Italians, a lot of Ukrainians), there are also enough locals.
There is no animation, there are a lot of screaming children, in the bar they start cooking pizza right before lunch, when it is no longer really needed.
The equipment on the beach, the shower, it's all fine.
The sea is fabulous, there are corals to which you need to swim 50 meters and an aquarium under your feet, but there are also berths, so there is a film of oil on the surface of the water. The hotel is in a bay, but there is wind, because the place is in the desert (there are no mountains).
I think tips for beach bartenders somehow don't matter, or maybe the size, because I tipped, so on the second day he passed me with drinks, you could, of course, shout at him, but learn English, just "hey", I think it's not decent.
The room was cleaned normally: a fresh towel, a change of beach clothes, toilet paper, water.
I hate figures from my clean towel, I said, I didn't understand, I did something new every day, I didn't use it. In general, I went alone, I was silent for 8 days, I was glad to return home.
