Three by the stars. A normal hotel. I took an all-inclusive tour. The food is monotonous, but the hotel is also not five-plus stars. You won't stay hungry.
I rested for 8 days. I flew to Egypt from the tour operator Fan&San. I flew there at night.
The room upon arrival was very bad, damp and smelled of mold. In some kind of basement room, although I immediately ordered a ticket with a sea view. He refused to move in there. The $20 at the reception magically solved this problem. The second version of the room was perfect. The restaurant was next to the room, and the bars were just around the corner. The beach is right opposite. There are many Russian vacationers. That is, exactly yes. It's like being at home. It was also full of old foreigners. Pensioners. (I wish I knew where they are not) I recommend that you go there once to try it. Would I come here again? Hardly. But for a vacationer with low requirements and a small budget, it is quite suitable. Have a good rest! ✌️
We had a rest with my son at Empire Beach Aqua park 3* from 17.12.24
That's exactly what the name of the hotel was written on the voucher. Although in fact, the hotel is called Empire Beach 3*, the first line.
Everything corresponds exactly to 3 stars. The room was charged an additional $20 for early check-in, and $20 for a normal room.
You can bargain. But we were tired, and at 5 a.m. we really wanted to sleep.
The room is small, but we only spent the night there and washed. They clean well. We could have hung a bigger curtain in the shower so that it wouldn't spill on the floor.
The beach is sandy and nice. There is a reef and fish.
We were completely satisfied with the food. For breakfast, scrambled eggs, in various variations, boiled eggs, mashed potatoes, scrambled croutons, pancakes, baked and fresh vegetables, buns. There is a toaster. Coffee, tea
For lunch and dinner there is always fish, meat, chicken, duck, cake, rice, potatoes, spaghetti, lentils, beans.
There is no wine. Only strong alcohol and beer.
I took a glass with me at the beach bar and asked to pour it into it. They have never refused.
There are a lot of crows. At breakfast and dinner, a special person drives them away from street tables so that they don't carry food.
There are no complaints about the staff.
My son liked everything too. There was wind from time to time, and it was cool to swim in the morning. They entered the water no earlier than 11 o'clock. They were very tanned, even though they were smeared with cream.
This was my first vacation in Hurghada, I want to share the pros and cons of this hotel:
+ Excellent beach, sandy approach, there are corals further away, clean water with an abundance of marine life, it's great to swim with a mask here. Lots of sun beds, umbrellas, wind barriers
+ Excellent staff, solve any issues promptly, remember your tastes and preferences, always friendly and humorous
+ The food is delicious and quite varied, lots of vegetables, delicious meat and dishes from the chef
+ Internet in the lobby, but the speed is good, it was comfortable to communicate via video.
+ The aqua zone includes three pools, a large one without heating, a comfortable pool with slides, cool slides, albeit small, a children's pool is warm
+ A large area, there is a place to disperse, there is no feeling of crowding
— The rooms are very tired, the furniture is old, the towels are dirty, the bed is not very good either. There were indelible stains on the bed and towels from God knows what.
I was disgusted to be in the room and use it all
— The water is hot only in the afternoon before lunch, barely warm in the evening, it is impossible to swim, apparently heating from the sun (I was in February), plumbing is also old and nasty. The shower curtain is dirty and musty.
— The glasses in the beach bar are plastic and sooo old, they are also disgusting to drink from
— from 23 hours to 01 at night, a loud disco is noisy in a nearby hotel, which wildly prevents sleep and can cause headaches
— On the beach, merchants came up to us every now and then, offering photos, tattoos, massages, a trip to the club, tours, and yoga. They don't always accept rejection the first time. It was annoying.
— There is a gang of crows operating on the veranda of the restaurant, who steal food if you walk away or turn away, at first it was fun, but then it was annoying too that you can't even walk away calmly at tea, because dessert will be stolen. Local seals also go begging for food, but at least they are not such greyhounds as crows. By the way, there are no seagulls here at all, they fly past this hotel, apparently crows keep the territory.
In general, I liked the rest, but it was too much for 9 days, the only thing that saved me was that I went on excursions. It was great for the first time, but I didn't set foot in three stars anymore. 😁
