Among the advantages: the location of the hotel, proximity to the airport, incredible reefs on the territory of the hotel, inexpensive price, entertainment
Of the cons: the food is average, alcohol too, the rooms are dirty
For your money, an excellent choice, you did not regret it

We recently vacationed in Egypt, stayed at this hotel. The hotel staff speaks English, Russian and Arabic. We are always ready to help. There is a bar on the ground floor. The water in it is free, everything else is for money. There is a cocktail bar on the second floor. There is a paid and free Internet connection. The free one is only enough to send messages via whatsapp / telegram, other pages take a very long time to load. All room replacement and extension services are paid.
There are ramps and animations for children every day.
Three free bars on the street.
The proximity of the sea is also a plus. There are also two pools: a children's pool and an adult pool.
In the evening, there is an entertainment program for adults: dancing, live concerts, a fire show, etc.
The food is delicious in the dining room, there are themed evenings.
The rooms are clean, the rooms are small. The room has a safe for storing valuables: keys, phones, money. Rooms are cleaned every day.
They love Alenka chocolate very much, they even pulled one tile out of the bag (
Room keys are often demagnetized.
There is a gym. It's pretty decent, only one simulator is broken.

We were in the middle of December 24, just returned, liked it)) You can go safely, you can arrange almost everything on the spot! Van dollar solves problems))) Of the minuses, visiting the meat restaurant on the 2nd line of the hotel leaves much to be desired. There is no meat there, people do not understand that this is a meat restaurant))) There's no meat there! The restaurant staff really spoiled the mood. Visit a fish restaurant better))) you will feel the difference from the doorstep!

The rooms were cleaned every day, absolutely everything was changed. There is a lot of entertainment on site and beyond. Shopping and souvenirs can be purchased on site is not expensive. Special thanks to the bartenders on the beach in the lagoon.

Don't go to massage sessions in Africa, it's very rude. Amateur massage therapists who know several techniques. There is no medical education. They don't understand. What is being done for what and for what. Muscles are not warmed up during a relaxation massage. They tried to crack the neck with a rotational movement, crack the spine with a load from above and twisting. The result was that I had to stay for 2 weeks, just not at sea, but in the hospital everything is sad ..... The hotel itself was built in 2002. We liked the hotel and the area, the bay is fenced. Children are fastidious. If you need the open sea, there is access on the left side of the admin. We saw different fish, even small moray eels, flounders, something like a pike, only very toothy. The chefs are doing well, they are trying very hard, there was even borscht on the menu.

I'm telling you! You can't describe all the impressions in one review. We have been going to Egypt for 20-30 years, the impressions of the Red Sea are off the scale. We spent most of our time in Sharm el-Sheikh. We were in Taba and Marsa al-Alam. I was in Hurghada in 1997-1999, I don't remember exactly, and this year. I'm not going there anymore. The Sunny day Hotel, to put it mildly, is not the best one I've been to in Egypt. The staff was very unhappy with us, they did not know how or did not want to smile and say hello, which is amazing. Egyptians are very friendly and hospitable people, they are always happy to meet new people and communicate. The hotel is huge, three in one. All three can use the common infrastructure, beaches and restaurants. There is little greenery, but the one that is well-groomed, the palm trees are alive, the bushes are green and trimmed. The hotel is old, unkempt, unwashed. it requires major repairs. He was probably good, though. Beautiful but broken wooden furniture in the rooms, beautiful murals. The laundry is washed, but everything is in coils, from old age.
Upon our arrival, they began to change the mattresses in the rooms, it would be better to do it in the evening when no one was looking. The mattresses were disgusting to look at. The plumbing is all old, the bathtub is dirty. I'm talking about the 5000 building.
.There are queues and crowds everywhere. You need to look for a table in a restaurant, and the staff does not help, then get in line for distribution. Coffee, boiling water and hot milk from titans, and paper or plastic cups. Wine and beer are also in soft small plastic cups, two per person, 20 grams each. There was a Turkwise restaurant on the second floor in another building, there were few people there. The view from the second floor to the sea is amazing, quiet, music. The assortment of dishes is smaller, the coffee is thinner, yesterday's vegetables and fruits are all dirty, the white covers on the chairs are such that it is not pleasant to sit down, everything is stained. But the view of the sea and the sparsely populated area redeemed everything. Sunbeds on the sea beach and at the lagoon had to be occupied at 7-8 in the morning.The beds are old, sunken and not washed. There is no shower on the sea beach and there is nowhere to wash the sand off your feet, so everyone carries the sand to the room. Although they have a large beach and if they had bought sun beds on the beach and tables in the restaurant, maybe there would not have been such a crowd. To be continued. I will write about the main thing, the sea, the lagoon, the beach, food and entertainment.
I'm telling you. Part 2. The Sanny days el Palacio Hotel. There is no free Wi-Fi, i.e. it is in the lobby at the reception, but it is impossible to catch it, if caught, then you can only write messages, the conversation stutters and the photos are not loaded. It is better to choose a place in the corner under the router. No problems are solved at the reception. My friends asked me to fix the safe in the room for 4 days, until they asked the room cleaner, he called the master and everything was done. I couldn't fix the phone in the room through the lobby, the mobile doesn't work, and with friends, they lived in another building, I had to keep in touch. I went to the lobby with a request for three days. My room cleaner helped. He was wonderful and caring to me, the front door was repaired, the light in the room and the phone, he always made sure that there was coffee, tea and water in the room. I lived in room 5040. A nice bonus of the hotel is an electric kettle, mugs and instant coffee and tea bags in the room, this is not common in Egypt.
Now about the main thing.
The Red Sea, it's fantastic. Hurghada is the wind. The wind was all 13 days, quieter or stronger. The main decoration of this hotel is the lagoon. This is a lagoon inside the calving, fenced off, as they say, by two nets from the sea. There are descents of stairs, like in the pool and sand entry, and for children and adults who swim poorly. Access to both the lagoon and the sea is open from 8.00 to 17.30, this is when we were. But in Egypt, beaches are open everywhere before sunset, it is dangerous further, marine life is activated. The food was decent. The cook is good. But more on that later.

I liked it.The location of the hotel is very good. It's great for winter. The beach is great! It is very comfortable to swim and sunbathe in the lagoon inside the hotel.
The hotel is clean, washed, cleaned. The room is standard, slightly tired, staff did not ask for tips, cleaned at my request, put water and tea in abundance. He's 5+
The staff in general at the hotel works well.
You can find a place with entertainment and be alone. Nice unobtrusive animation.
The food was not very tasty, but I did not stay hungry, chicken, beef, fish for every lunch and dinner, fruits according to the season. There was a small queue for an omelet at breakfast and there were not enough mugs, they put paper cups.
In general, the impressions of the hotel were very pleasant, I will also be happy to come to it and recommend it to others.

In Egypt for the third time, we rested in 4* hotels, there is something to compare, we were there from 09/29/24 to 10/11/2014
I put 3 stars, since the hotel really pulls only 3, but not 4. We paid 177 thousand for two. But 100 thousand was only a flight and 5 K. visa on arrival and 2 thousand ($ 20) were given upon check-in to give a normal room. So for 70 K. maybe it's normal.
Positive:
1. The sea and the lagoon are yes, beautiful, cool, a lot of fish, rays, reefs, the sea was 25-26 degrees at that time, we swam from morning to evening.
2. Location from the airport, close, to the central Sheraton street it takes 10 minutes by taxi, 30 minutes on foot.
3. Bars on the beach, by the pool and on the second floor of the main building.
4. There are 3 hotels of the same chain at your disposal. There is a small water park in the farthest one.
Minuses:
1. The food is not very diverse, every day rice, slimy pasta, French fries, soups, fish in batter, without batter, meat, chicken and lula for the evening. There are few fruits, there were unripe dates or already overripe and spoiled, oranges, unripe pomegranate, melon, guava. A couple of times we caught a mango for the evening, but the chefs cut it a little bit and did not always give the whole mango, they pinched it))) Vegetables tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strange salads. Desserts are normal)) In general, you will definitely not stay hungry, but I wanted a little variety. We were in Ala maps - fish and oriental - such a thing.
We paid $ 35 and went to the fish shop again on Saturday, the show takes place there, and we ate shrimp and squid))
2. Drinks at the beach bars are poured into small plastic cups, which is not very convenient, so they then fly apart and clog the lagoon. On the second floor, glass was poured in the bar if you are sitting there + there is a smoking area, like for it)))
3. Quite a lot of Egyptians, arrogant, uncultured, climb without queues, strained, of course they are preferred in canteens and bars)
4. The queues at the main restaurant were quite large. There is a restroom on the second floor, but there is less choice of food than in the main, and for dinner there is no grill at all, but for that with a view of the sea, it's cool.
5. At 12:00 on the day of the eviction, the bracelets are cut off and we just hung around until 9 pm. You can have lunch, but with dinner you can fly, eat wherever you want. Fortunately, there are several cafes near the hotel, they ate there for $ 20 (pizza, shrimp, cocktails)
6. Those who wrote that there are no problems with sun loungers, have you definitely been to this hotel? A huge problem, I had to borrow in the morning so that I could then lie still. I got up at 7 a.m. and went to borrow, most of the deck chairs were already occupied. Again, the people themselves are to blame for this, who borrowed and came to them only after 4 hours. I think this is not right, but we accepted these rules and did the same, there was nowhere to go(((
No one begged for money, as they wrote in many reviews, there was no sanitation, everything was fine in this regard, they cleaned every day. But since there is something to compare and flew for a lower price, I put 3 *.
We were in Minamark, it is small but cozy. and we were in Long Beach, better there than in Sunny Days.
I definitely won't come here a second time.

We rested at this hotel from 30.06 to 07.10.24 . we got to the hotel at the beginning of 5 a.m. with a child of 7 years old, they placed us around 6 a.m., put on bracelets, there was a problem with the child's sleeping place, brought an extra bed several times, fell asleep somehow at 7 a.m. McDonald's on Shiroton Street is not far away on foot for 40 minutes or a taxi for $ 2 . there is a lot of life on this street, you definitely need to take a walk! According to the hotel, what I remember is that after a few days I only noticed that all alcoholic beverages are poured into plastic dishes for tourists from Russia, the request to pour into glass was refused, they explained that only plastic is from Russia! It was not pleasant to have a minus star for this. Otherwise, the rooms are tolerable, so-so showers, as I remember, are normal for a child and very narrow for an adult. For the first time I saw this, the kondey worked, ate on the territory of three hotels without problems, the food is monotonous! If you go on the positive side and do not pay attention to the arrogant staff, but it's quite good, and I completely forgot there was a waiter at the reception at the bar, Omar, who bought 7 liters of local alcohol from under the counter for $ 3 per bottle, only 2 bottles he did not give away, I had to punish him and dial paid beer in his shift and write off his debt, because he didn't want me to call the hotel manager!

We spent our vacation at your hotel. I was completely delighted with the beauty of the Red Sea, the reef on the coast of the hotel is simply incredibly beautiful. The animation was a bit weak before the arrival of the Russian guys in their team. It became more cozy and more fun. The bar is top, the alcohol is the same as all Egyptian alcohol. You can go back, but you want to explore the world from a new angle.

We had a rest in October 2024. The hotel was recommended by a travel agency. It was positioned as a hotel with a huge territory.
1. Check-in was early. They gave $ 10 + sweets from Russia and ... Voila, they gave the room as requested. Overlooking the sea (not the lagoon) and the third floor. Attention: the first floor has access to the street from the balcony (they will walk past your windows day and night, respectively, but someone likes it) these numbers are indicated for example : 6021 (6 - building, 0 (this is the first in our opinion) - floor, 21 - room). Accordingly, 6121 (6th building, 1st floor (second in our opinion)…. Rooms that face the west - the wind blows in them, the east does not.
2. The wind is often strong at night. It subsides by 10 a.m.
3. You can swim on the beach (sea) from 11 o'clock. Until that time, there is a "red" flag. You can always swim in the lagoon with the "white" flag, except for 18.00 - 08.00.
4. The sun beds in the lagoon and on the beach begin to occupy from 6.00. The sun beds need repair!
5. A beach towel can be stolen from the first floors of balconies and sun loungers. $ 8 is a fine, as the vacationers complained to us.
6. The contingent of vacationers is 80% Russian (it feels like it's not in Hurghada, but on the Black Sea coast).
7. The water is clean, transparent both in the sea and in the lagoon. They clean the floating debris washed up by the waves every day.🤦🏼♀️
8. There is a coral reef with live corals on the territory. You don't even need an excursion. Swim with a mask and watch. Attention: you can get hurt on dead corals, so be careful.
9. In the sea - only in coral slippers, in the lagoon - without.
10. The food is satisfactory. Rather, without frills. You won't starve to death. I like to eat and drink on vacation. Omnivorous. And for the first time.... I didn't gain either a kilogram or 100 grams. The waiters do not serve at the tables. You're looking for everything yourself... spoons, forks… Attention: take dry or wet wipes with you if you like to use them during meals. Fans of ayran, milk, freshly brewed coffee, tea, fresh herbs, seafood, lamb, a variety of vegetables and fruits will not be happy.
11. Room: old, but the plumbing was working properly. The pressure of the water and its availability around the clock were pleasing. By the way, the room was cleaned every day and not bad (by local standards). The towel was changed every day and the bedclothes were changed three days later. Without our tips. Bottled water - every day.
12. A la carte restaurants are a disorder. Complete frustration. We visited Italian - we were not pleased with anything except the serving. We visited the Asian one - a complete failure. Starting from the lack of chopsticks (I remind you - this is Asian) and ending with the lack of tea. Oh well. This is Egypt, so it has its own ideas. I won't even lower my stars because of this…
13. We did not go to a separate guide.... I also do not go to them in other countries (Tunisia, Turkey, Thailand..)…So it is clear that excursions are more expensive for him, and on the street / beach / Internet - cheaper! I don't go and no one punishes me for it. Why waste time, maybe you're not going to leave the hotel at all? And this lesson lasts for 1.5 hours.
14. The territory of the hotel is large, this is another hotel nearby and there is a hotel with an aquapark across the street. You can go to these hotels with your bracelet, swim there, watch shows, participate in activities and eat in bars/restaurants.
15. Animation is weak, inactive. Volleyball, dancing, water aerobics ... evening show (more and more not the performance of groups, but the vacationers themselves participate in the "miss hotel", who is better ... etc. Attention: I don't know what for children, because I had a rest without children.
16. Bar. The biggest disappointment of the holiday. There is no 24-hour bar at the reception. There is a paid bar and a free bar at the reception. Alcohol is poured from 11.00 -00.00. It is, as it should be (all inclusive) - local. Aniseed vodka, tequila, whiskey... cola, tonic and colorful "yuppie", ice cream (without milk fat... and milk), beer. It would be possible not to be outraged with such a wealth of choice 😉😉😉 But ALL this is poured into a 120 ml plastic cup ... (in glass, the same volume is poured in the restaurant and bar at the reception). And no more than 2 pieces in one hand. Any drink. Try pouring beer into a glass like this. Right! Half of the 120 ml foam... at least stand under the bar. In short, we went with our glass, brought from home. But there was a problem here too. It was poured into it, only in one bar (thanks to the bartender ALI), not in the others… The problem was solved by buying a case of beer in the store (1 Booth -1 $). They put it in the refrigerator and enjoyed the first rays of the sun and the morning tan!
17. The conclusion on recreation is as follows: the sea is beautiful. But I can't give five stars for it, since this is not an assessment of the sea, but of a hotel with territory and service. Therefore, only across the sea.
18. P.S. My opinion is personal. Based on a comparison with a stay in 4-star hotels. It may differ from the opinion of others.

Saint Petersburg, Russia Tourist
ALMOST EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST DAY AND THE PHARMACY AT THE HOTEL
Amazing location, no excursions or additional entertainment are needed, everything is in the hotel, special thanks to the wonderful animators - real and tireless professionals! And the animation program itself looks professional. It was fun and incendiary. Thank you🙏💕
Everything was great, and snorkeling and the rest itself and the extraordinary view from the window in our room are the best moments of our lives.
The food is not very tasty, but there is plenty of food. A bar with very tasty cocktails: I liked the non-alcoholic ones more, but my husband poisoned himself with one of the alcoholic ones, although we hardly drank and certainly did not mix anything. Salads, of course, it is better to take simple ones, rather than those with everything mixed in. Baking for three. Desserts for 4-, but when they say that there is nothing to eat, I want to ask, Do you also eat lunches and dinners from many dishes at home?
Everything was ruined by the last day, and not only for us, as the reviews show: on the first day we arrived at the hotel only by the end of dinner, and on the last day we were already fired during dinner, that is, we were obliged to provide lunch, and we were interested in this issue in advance from both the travel agent and the hotel agent, that's all they promised, it was said that they would give coupons for lunch. As a result, coupons had to be literally knocked out of the receptionist at the reception, besides, several people incorrectly communicated with us at once, it cost me a lot of work and nerves to explain that we were owed lunch and this despite the fact that a seven-year-old child was with us, they just tried to shut us up and not give us anything. It is very sad that our wonderful stay at this hotel was overshadowed by such a boorish attitude in the end - the aftertaste is a little spoiled. As soon as the bracelet is removed, you become nobody - this is the wrong policy. The reputation of the hotel suffers because of such squabbles - an impolite attitude towards guests is unacceptable for a hotel of any stardom.
we also want to warn you about the so-called State Pharmacy on the territory of el Palacio - real scammers, be vigilant: the prices of medicines in Egypt are regulated by the state and they are really two or three times lower than ours, and the price is stamped on the package. In this terrible pharmacy, the price was taped. Our daughter got sick and we came to this pharmacy to buy an analogue of a baby's sumamed, so, the pharmacist, knowing that the medicine for a sick child, sold it to us 7 times more expensive!!!! The next day, my husband, along with the hotel manager, went to sort it out, as a result, somehow returned half of what we were owed. If our very drunk tourists hadn't bought everything in this pharmacy without checking the prices, the pharmacy would have behaved more decently. Moreover, pharmacies with the right price tags are found every 100 meters when leaving the hotel. Do not buy anything there - then the pharmacy will begin to change, the only thing that can be influenced is the ruble, and, by the way, the police, in Egypt criminal penalties for the sale of counterfeit medicines and price fraud.
For the first time, because of the huge territory of the hotel and the sick child, we did not go anywhere in Egypt and did not get bored at all, because animation, promenades, the most wonderful sea with fish, a la carte restaurants, the opportunity to eat in the Palma de Mirette, that is, to change the situation, discos and the general benevolent atmosphere made our vacation in general and generally good. Although next time we would have gone 10 days earlier, that is, in the first half of November - it would have been warmer and less winds, which repeatedly disrupted our plans for snorkeling, and it is very rich in El Palacio.

Very nice family hotel. There is a lot of animation during the day, especially aqua aerobics is good. The kitchen is on solid 4, the rooms are cleaned every day and very well. It is better not to drink coffee in the dining room, there is a bar for this, here they will prepare real delicious coffee for you. I liked the service, upon arrival the room was given with disadvantages (not critical, but unpleasant), moved at the first request. I really liked the lagoon, but the entrance to the lagoon leaves much to be desired. In general, I liked the hotel. I advise
P.S. I almost forgot 👆 in the bar you can drink mind-blowing cocktails (imported alcohol), but this is for an additional fee. Do not spare money, get a lot of emotions

There are many disadvantages, but they are solved, and all the disadvantages are covered, the convenient location of the hotel, the most beautiful sea. Read more: they were brought to the hotel at 1:00 a.m., minus one day for the flight. The hotels were settled quickly, but they did not give money so the room turned out to be in the main building, above the stage where all the onimations take place, but this was not very upsetting, because everything ends at 23:00.also, upon arrival, there was nothing in the room, namely not a single towel, napkins and toilet paper, tea accessories, and we were not offered an evening dinner, such is the concept of the hotel. And this concept is spread out upon leaving the hotel, at 12 :00 they are evicted from the room and everything is reset to the flesh of water and food, only at their own expense, while waiting for the autobus to the airport. Let's continue further, the problems with the missing accessories were solved only at noon, although at night and in the morning all this was voiced at the reception. Basically, the rest of the hotel is built with dignity. The sea around the hotel is excellent, clean, transparent, lots of different fish, moray eels, there are even large shells with molusks. The interior of the hotel has its own marine lagoon, which is fenced off by a net from sharks. Animations take place on the beach near the lagoon, and in the evening there are various concerts.The room stock in the hotel is old, but they look after it and immediately fix the problems. It is very difficult to change the room. When buying a tour, it is better to buy standard rooms, they are located in the first large hotel and around the lagoon and the sea and a large territory, and premium rooms are located next to a changing territory, and do not differ from the standard in any way, even worse, and many asked them to move to the standard. The food is standard as in four hotels, fruits according to the season, they cooked well, but a lot of people, no one bothered anyone. At 12 :00 they give ice cream and have a snack. The alcohol is not very good locally produced. The beer was on tap and bottled locally. Drinks like jupi, but there is bottled fanta, cola and sprite.It's a gorgeous killer aqua park, but it's located across the street, through a tunnel and at the end of all buildings.but the adrenaline is pumping. There were also water slides in the hotel. there are a lot of souvenir shops near the hotel. In general, the rest was a success when we threw out all the negativity.tour operators have expensive excursions. But they are great, they are always in touch at any time of the day and ready to help in everything. We did not regret choosing this hotel, and despite the fact that there were also a lot of children, there was no discomfort, no one bothered anyone, even the local population, which was also very much. In conclusion, I want to say, relax with pleasure, have a good rest. The hotel corresponds to its 4 stars.

A good hotel, it fully responds to its 4*. The food is good, although the restaurant is small, but if you go a little later, closer to closing, it is quite free. The room is old, but everything works and is cleaned cleanly. The location of the hotel is wonderful, the city is nearby, the sea is clean, corals and fish are also available. Now about what I didn't like. The descent into the sea by ladders, and they are in a disgusting state, there are no changing cabins at all, the shower is only on the inner lagoon. The porters stand out from the staff: they are outrageously arrogant, they do not ask for the delivery of a suitcase to the room, but they demand 5 bucks. Overall, the impression is quite good.

The staff's attitude is ugly! You are not welcome here, and you are not welcome here.
The hotel management is not interested in service or in improving the quality of everything.
1. The room drain does not work either in the bathtub or in the sink.
2. In a room on the fourth floor, hot water runs in a tiny trickle, it is impossible to wash.
3. The room is very poorly cleaned. In our room, the cleaning agent was left unwashed in the bathtub.
4. The air conditioner only works for cooling. At night, when it was +15, we slept in sweaters.
I went to the reception several times and asked to fix the problems, but they blinked at me like they didn't understand. And I'm with three children, and everything THAT HAPPENS IS CRITICAL TO ME.
WHAT KILLED ME: there are not enough seats in the restaurant, especially at dinner, there is a separate area with tables for four people. There was no room, so I decided to move two double tables. Three waiters swooped down on me, a young girl with three children, and started shouting at me like crows that I shouldn't do this, but I tried to explain that there were no empty tables and the children wanted to eat. I was sent outside in the cold evening. It was very insulting when I was standing with three children, things, And I was kicked out of the restaurant.
I will write a review on all the units. Because in other hotels they would have gone to meet a mother with many children. Instead of being kicked out of the restaurant.

The hotel: to be honest, it's not very clear where the 4 stars are. The rooms are not the first freshness, but passable. We cleaned almost every day, which is a big plus. I liked the food: a large number of vegetables, a sufficient amount of meat and side dishes, my favorite dish is falafel (it was cooked perfectly there), there were also breakfast cereals, yoghurts (I did not like it), the juice was either diluted or powdered. Alcoholic cocktails on the beach and in the dining room were disgusting, but on the second floor of the hotel, in the bar, it was quite tasty. In principle, the staff was good, the beaches were good, but sometimes there were few sunbeds (because some occupied at 6 a.m.: they left a bag or towels, and then left on their own business). We were from May 11 to May 22

We were in September 2024
The rooms are actually a little worn out, it concerns the furniture, but it looks as if it was specially made for the antique. The air conditioning in the room is good, cools quickly.
The lagoon is very cool. There is also a smooth approach and at depth you can swim from the ladder, in general, for every taste. The reef with fish is right 1 meter from the hotel, you can swim without vests, only with a mask. The beauty is incredible. The animation is so-so, there is a good disco right on the beach, we liked it. You can go diving right on site.
There is an alcohol store across the street from the hotel, beer for a dollar.
The beer in the hotel tastes good, but diluted, very light. It's not bad. There is also strong alcohol, it had a nasty taste. Of all the alcohol, normal vodka and tequila, without a taste. Tequila Cola is the best option 👍 😄
There were slightly higher expectations for food. There are many delicious positions, and also tasteless ones are present. Yuppie-type juice, soups suck, pancakes suck too.
Delicious beef, chicken, fish, vegetable dishes. Salads are not always fresh. Desserts are simple, but there are good ones. We liked the coffee, it was normal.
Yes, it's not freshly ground, gourmets won't like it. But in general it will work.
The sea covers all the disadvantages.
To summarize, we liked it and we want to come again next year for a longer time. 😊

Old, but wooden(!) furniture, doors, windows.Inconvenient sockets (location, number). The rooms around the water park\scenes are not for relaxing (music). That's it! This is solved easily! I have an extension cord with three sockets with me for a couple of meters, and it's easy to change the number. Pros: if the wind blows, swim in the lagoon (there is sea water and a shark net). At the tip, go up the steps and your reef is at your service! There is also a diving center. The territory, including all THREE hotels, is huge! There is a decent water park in the upper hotel, and an underground passage under the road to the beach. The central restaurant is loaded-go to another one! The staff is like bees working day and night. Nearby there are shops, a Marina (a fashionable promenade and excursions on a bathyscaphe boat), an Orthodox church and a mosque (where they let you see)... The hotel allows you not to meet with an unpleasant person for a week (!) without harming yourself. The thickness of the walls allows you not to notice who lives next to you and not to use the air conditioner in the evenings. I will definitely come back at the first opportunity!

I don't know who praises this hotel, but the hotel has the only advantage-the sea. We were passing through, we did not meet a worse hotel, even the three in Turkey are much better. The rooms are old, but it's not critical. In bars, bartenders are rude and communicate as if you owe them. Beer is poured into glasses, really, glasses of 100ml each. Alcohol is a separate topic-moonshine with dyes!!! And the restaurant!!!!!! Here it's just like from a zombie movie: people crowd 10 minutes before the door opens, and as soon as the doors open, this crowd runs into the hall, which is clearly not designed for such a number of vacationers. The queue for meat is about 30 people, no kidding. What was not eaten for breakfast and lunch appears at dinner under the guise of a new salad. We are not picky, we visit different countries and different levels of hotels, but this one discouraged us from going to Egypt. Think for yourself, decide for yourself.

Today is 20.10.24 , the tenth day we are at the Sunny Days hotel, except for the sea, I do not even know what tourists might like here. It was clear that everything old and broken was not worth talking about when we went to this hotel. The attitude of the staff is striking, everyone is on top of everything, as much as possible. The repair of the hair dryer was expected from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a lunch break, they called every half hour at the reception and each time they informed us that they would fix the hair dryer in half an hour) until
We reached the counter and didn't yell. The room was cleaned twice in 10 days. I don't even want to go into the dining room, it starts to get muddy from the smell at the entrance, not that there is a way to go there. There is dirt everywhere, I understand that it may be poor, but at least it should be clean, no. When the waiter picked up a fallen tea bag from the dirty floor in front of me and put it back in the vase with the rest of the tea, I was completely blown away. There is hair in the dishes, the food is the same every day, you can be as
picky as you like, but on the 7th day I stopped going there. There are fights on the beach every day because of the lack of sun beds, you have to get up at seven in the morning to score a place in the sun, otherwise you will be sunbathing in the room, people leave towels and things on the sun beds that disappear in an unknown direction in the evening and half the morning you will run around the hotel figuring out where they went, and the staff she will kick you off and tell you about the fine for losing towels, today a foreigner almost sneaked up with a Russian lady, because she did not find her towel, took her sunbed, as many as five staff members gathered for the showdown, I am shocked by what is happening, the hotel itself has created a situation in which people are forced to arrange a showdown because a lounger, what nonsense in general. From 7 pm to 3 am, music screams from both sides of the hotel, no matter where you were given a room, it is not possible to sleep, and in the morning you need to get up to run to take a sunbed. There is regularly no hot water in the shower, the air conditioner, if you can call it that, howls all over the room, or emits in breaks not clear sounds, but he and the refrigerator perfectly interrupt the music screaming at night, water from the air conditioner flows inside the room along the wall directly to the floor, everything is in water, they told the manager, it turned out that this is the norm. There are only 2 stairs on the beach to descend from each side, three days ago one broke, you need to weld a piece, do you think someone cares about this))) it was simply blocked with a ribbon. Honestly, I'm dreaming when this vacation is over and I'm going home from here.

Good afternoon. I would like to say that this is a solid 5 hotel. The rooms are cleaned every day, the food is just excellent and beef meat, and chicken and fried fish and fish in batter. Whatever your heart desires. There are all kinds of fish in the lagoon and the tour is not needed. Swimming is a pleasure. We went to the water park next to each other every day, we swam a lot. We also went to the fish market very close by and bought shrimps. They cooked them for us there, brought them to the room, sat on the balcony, under a beer class. In general, I want to say, feel free to go, you will not regret it.

We stayed at the hotel for 7 days, we came to Egypt for the first time. Of course, rest cannot be compared with Turkey, there is not enough service in Egypt.
Among the advantages: sea view (for which they charged $ 20 at the reception), a water park on the territory of 3 hotels (not wow, but you can ride with pleasure), almost all the staff understands Russian, the food is passable (we really liked the barbecue and pizza), fish and corals on the beach.
Of the cons: a local beach towel was stolen (there were suspicions about the staff) and I had to pay a $ 10 fine, alcohol in the bar is just a nightmare (it tastes like detergents in general, and after drinking, I had nightmares every time. This is the first time we noticed this for ourselves, so that after alcohol there would be such an effect). There is nothing for women to do there alone, the locals, including the hotel staff, behave like wild (they look men in the eyes, and women only at their breasts). Annoying staff in terms of excursions and other things. The room is very old (as they visited the Stalin Museum). Desserts are incomprehensible, coffee is only "nescafe" (in Turkey, for example, there were normal coffee machines). The room is cleaned so-so. Security feels so-so too. There is no mini bar, only a 1.5L bottle of water.
In general, I will share my impression of Hurghada. If you are going for the first time, know that everyone will try to deceive you. Do not visit any markets with taxi drivers, they will only take you to their points with a huge margin (and we took a taxi from the hotel) and then they will name a huge price tag for the trip. Souvenirs can be bought at the Cleopatra store, as you leave the hotel immediately to the left and you will see a walk there. It is better to buy food, halva, nuts, etc. in small shops with a cash register (where prices are fixed and very pleasant). There is also a good shop called fix something there (go out from the hotel and to the right, it will be on the other side), the seller there is very good and gave us gifts) It is better to take local currency to the shops. Coral masks and slippers are cheaper to buy in the city than to bring them from Russia. It is better to take gels and shampoos with you, the ones in the room are some kind of smelly. We took excursions on the albatross website, rode quadricycles and on a bathyscaphe. I liked the excursions in general. To be honest, I was scared to walk the streets, there was garbage everywhere and locals who were constantly staring. Well, I was with a guy, so I was more or less calm, but I wouldn't risk going there alone or with a friend.

Without further ado: just a great hotel! The location is close to the main mosque of the city, the fish market and the Marina.
The room corresponded to the stated one, without a single breakdown: soft beds, a large mirror, powerful pressure of both cold and hot water, the view from the window is just a fairy tale! Yes, the furniture is a bit retro, but there is a special charm in it)) We felt like the heroes of the TV series "Clone"😄 By the way, we didn't pay anyone and didn't ask for anything - we immediately settled into a room with a view of the pool (a piece of the sea is visible from it). Sometimes a chocolate bar was left for cleaning, sometimes a dollar, sometimes nothing at all - it was always equally good to be clean! And water, clean towels, new shampoos were always delivered.
The food is varied, fresh vegetables and fruits for every meal, there is always plenty of meat - chicken and beef, a large selection of baked goods. Seafood at 4* in Egypt is not expected at all, so there are zero complaints! Desserts are only very much for an amateur, but Egypt is not famous for its sweets) There are always places in the restaurant, the waiters quickly take away the dirty and bring something on request. The food in the trays is never lying at the bottom: they report very quickly so that everything is in abundance. Almost every evening, dinner is dedicated to one of the cuisines of the peoples of the world, Friday is the brightest in this sense, because the meal is preceded by playing national instruments, songs, dances - this is an evening of Egyptian cuisine! It's a whole holiday! Those who stay at the hotel for more than a week are entitled to two free a la carte dinners. There are 4 such restaurants in a separate complex, we visited the fish and Asian ones. Overall, we are satisfied)
We are especially pleased with the hotel staff! Everyone is very responsive, friendly - it is clear that people who love people work here! In the restaurant, after eating, I just wanted to thank every employee, so everyone tries to make the rest pleasant. No one looked at us askance, even if I was the only one, a woman, asking for alcohol at the bar. We also did not observe rudeness on anyone's part.
Animation is very important for our aara, so that it is almost like in a children's camp)))) Yoga, exercise, aqua aerobics, volleyball, bocce and many dances - everywhere you are welcome, everywhere you are expected, everywhere you are supported. There is no time to be bored! Especially when every day there is some kind of party: sometimes foam, then Hawaiian, then with giant dolls, then a soloist sings in the middle of the day, then a circus performer performs... In the evening, as a rule, an even more colorful show awaits! For example, a fakir show or a fireshow. There were also contests like miss or Mr. hotel, dance flash mobs until the guests got tired😁
And all this in a clean, well-maintained area with its own lagoon and a small coral reef. You can explore the richest underwater world of the Red Sea without leaving the hotel! And if the weather wasn't good, then instead of the sea, you could flop in the pool: it's heated (even when it's hot).
Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation, for the first visit to Egypt of everyone involved in Sunny Days El Palacio🥰

I chose the hotel based on reviews and photos. We flew with an Egyptian company (UJ), they feed us a sandwich and juices in a package on board, we bought visas for $ 25 upon arrival, no $ 27, as they write on the Internet, everywhere there are signs that the visa costs exactly $ 25. Hurghada Airport is a 25-minute drive from the hotel. They brought us around 12-12:30, check-in only at 14:00, we waited for the prescribed time, walked around the territory, offered to have lunch (if you had time for lunch on the day of arrival, it will not be on the day of departure! He fixes it at his reception and the guide also warns about it, though for 2 days). We got into a situation where the flight was late and we didn't have any food (except breakfast). They say go hungry or buy for $ 8 per person.
Our hotel consists of 3 hotels, we stayed in the main building. The first impressions were not very good, but we went for the beauty of the Red Sea. Basically, there are more pros than cons. The room is not bad (photo attached), everything is clean, there is everything you need, your own balcony with sea view (our room is 3226). TV, refrigerator, safe (instructions on the door are available).
The sea on the territory of the hotel (the main building), its own lagoon (fenced with a net from marine inhabitants), shallow water and a reef at depth at the end of the hotel. There are a lot of fish, the stingrays, the only thing, have not seen moray eels. There are a lot of sun beds throughout the territory, there is enough space for everyone. It is forbidden to occupy in advance (there are signs, if no one appears within an hour, then things are removed, where is unknown, we did not stumble upon such a situation). There is only one swimming pool on our territory, and children and locals (those who come from the city to relax) mostly swim in it. The variety of cuisine, everything is delicious. I don't know why people write that the food is monotonous and tasteless (as if you eat different food at home, but in fact you eat the same soup for a week). There are pools in other sunny days hotels, but there are also mostly children, and adults cling to the entire bar in the water. We have been swimming in the sea all week and are very happy, you can swim in the pool in your city! There are 2 main restaurants, one is located near the pool, the second is at the exit from the main entrance, to the right up the stairs to the 2nd floor. It's quieter and less crowded. The whole trip is accompanied by a guide from the tour operator, you can write to him on this sap, he will answer any question you may have. The Internet is free, but it catches poorly (here are sap and telegram), mainly in the lobby near the fountain and on the 2nd floor near the Fizz bar. We did not buy the Internet, although the prices are reasonable (and catches throughout the hotels). There are bars near the lagoon and the sea (tea, coffee from a coffee machine, juices, alcohol, ice cream). Come and order whatever you want. We have noted for ourselves 1 bar (Fizz), located on the 2nd floor in the main building. The bartender Ahmed is the best (thanks for the delicious cocktails and mood!), always smiling, will make a compliment, will treat you with imported alcohol.
Excursions can also be taken through a guide, but we did not see the point in going to + 40 somewhere, we chose the cheapest ($ 30 per person) diving, if you do not want to dive, then swim in the open sea with instructors, there will be 2 swims. Equipment is also given out without a deposit. Since everything is visible in the mask, we did not dive with balloons, just swam. We liked it. Plus, lunch was included in the price. They have their own photographer, makes very beautiful and cool photos, bought a package (photos, videos for $ 50), send a link to here sap and ship from there. Souvenirs are sold on site, sellers may seem intrusive, but they will tell you everything. Basically, everything is for sale for $ 1, we did not bargain and did not try.
Let's talk about the disadvantages of the hotel. The first negative I wrote above is about lunch on the day of departure. The second disadvantage is disposable tableware! God, a 4-star hotel and drinks are poured into disposable cups, some get glass glasses, but this is rare. In bars, they pour it into glass, but in restaurants it was absurd (dear owner, buy normal dishes, it will cost you less than you will constantly spend money on plastic, plus it is unecological!). Further, for someone, children and local kids are not a hindrance, but their boorish behavior bothered us, their parents do not make comments, they say, rest and do what you want. Smoking throughout the hotel (can be attributed to the advantages, to whom as). They smoke everywhere, there is an urn, in fact, there are no designated places. You can even smoke indoors (2nd floor, near the Fizz bar). A la carte restaurants, you can make an appointment at the reception, on your own tablet. 1 time per stay is free of charge. We signed up for a fish restaurant on our anniversary. We arrived at the time indicated on the receipt and were very disappointed. The buffet consisted of the usual fish soup, in which nothing floats (at least a piece of crab was wanted), a salad as in the main restaurant, fruits and drinks, as in the main restaurant. For the hot meal, a piece of fish, rice, vegetables (they probably brought it from the main restaurant as well) and a small crab, in which the cat cried meat. In principle, they did not finish eating and went to our restaurant to at least eat normally. The mood on their holiday was spoiled, their stomachs were not sated, they went to drink cocktails at their favorite bar and to the side. On the day of departure, you can only use towels and that's it! We could at least arrange a small snack (we had a check-out at 12 p.m., the plane at 21 p.m.), we were hungry and not very satisfied with the reception staff. We explained the situation that the flight was late, we could have lunch, we wrote to the guide, it was useless! We found a cafe (saya cafe) near a nearby hotel, the prices are below average, we took a pizza for $ 5 for two, it's pretty tasty, the staff are trying to understand you, it's better to have an interpreter at hand. I liked the service, we waited 15-20 minutes for the order.
The vacation itself was wonderful, but the day of departure was just disgusting and we didn't get any help from the hotel staff!

We stayed at this hotel at the end of April 2024. A large area, a lot of beach space due to the lagoon. There were always enough sun beds, although the hotel is completely full. Everything in the rooms is old, but it worked. What did not suit us, we were changed immediately upon check-in. The staff is nice, polite, helpful. However, they left a dollar for everyone, both the cleaner, the bartender on the beach and the administrator in the restaurant. But there were no problems, the room was clean, there was always water, the cocktails were delicious, and the dinner table was always free. It seems to me that as you treat people, so they treat you. The food is simple, of course, but it's also a four. But everything was delicious. We were completely satisfied with the hotel, for its price.

I'm giving away at the moment in the hotel, there is something to compare it with, it doesn't hold up to 4k. The rooms are dead, the food is tasteless, from soup to dessert - everything is made of low-quality products, juices are like water. As far as I'm not ahead in food, and by default I'm used to eating delicious in hotels, here they even managed not to like me, everything is kind of empty and cheap. The waiters are dirty in shabby clothes. The pools are small, the sea is dirty and the approaches are bad. I do not recommend it. I took it only because of the location of the hotel in the center. So far, I see only disadvantages. I had a lot of rest in 4 days, this is the worst of all

An excellent 4* hotel, on the 1st line, with a unique "personal" lagoon and well-built buildings around it. You can swim everywhere - both in the sea and in the lagoon. The lagoon is deep and there is less wind, you can arrange real swimming training. We had a room in the left building with only a view of the sea, spacious, the furniture was a bit old, but everything worked. The food is good - for every taste. Poultry, meat, fish every day, fresh vegetables and citrus bowls, wine of very good quality. Yoghurts, omelets, and pastries helped out in the mornings. It is better to take tea instead of coffee. Good coffee is only served in bars.
The animation is very good, including live concerts and belly dancing. The staff is friendly, they speak English and a little Russian. The contingent - 50% - Russians, 50% - all the rest, especially English, German, Italian, Polish and Chinese were often heard.
This is a resort that includes two other smaller hotels. In the second section there is a nice bay and a more cozy pool with a bar, and in the third on the 2nd line there is a good water park. We did not take excursions at the hotel, we took them directly from an Egyptian travel agency, as a result we saved at least $ 150.

Good afternoon, we rested at the hotel in October 2024, I would like to share a review.
They don't check in at the reception right away, even for gifts, even for money, it's not very fast.We came across an old room, probably all such tired rooms here, the toilet is dirty, the curtains, bed linen and towels also leave much to be desired.The sea is good, you can swim in the bay, or you can go and take pictures of the fish.The food is very amateur, we got used only to the end of the rest, we chose only what we can eat, all the food tastes the same.Contests are held in the evenings, you can sit and watch.The day before we left, when cleaning the room, they made an artificial blockage of the toilet, upon arrival we saw that the water was not leaving, they called the person who cleans the rooms, he said wait for a special person to come and decide, he came pulled out a lot of things from the toilet (naturally we did not throw there) and said look what was there, I had to give it away money and to him for the elimination of not our fault, in general, a review from the bottom of my heart!

Great hotel. I recommend it for a relaxing and active holiday. In the evening, there is always a show and animation at a high level. Due to the large territory, we had to walk 10 thousand steps a day, which was useful for outdoor activities. The hotel complex has an inner street with a mini market, which has a big plus. There are several beaches on the territory of the hotel, both for children's swimming and an excellent reef.

I will return to this hotel if the cost of the tour as a whole is minimal.
If you evaluate only by location, they leave only by sea.
Disgusting staff.
The word ended up being the norm for them
Problems in the rooms are not solved
And there are problems with light, water, drain, non-closing doors
Food for 3 out of 5. fruits of 4 kinds, desserts too
Psychotic tour sellers throw tantrums if you don't buy from them.
You ask for orange juice, they pour pineapple juice
They ask for money constantly and for granted. They are evicted from the hotel at 12, cut off the bracelets and do whatever you want before the transfer arrives. To carry suitcases on your own
The beds are dead. The contingent is wild.

While it can still be considered a budget, if the room stock is updated, it will become more expensive, those who care about the room may not like it, the food gets boring, not very tasty, as everywhere in Hurghada. Multinationality. There weren't many children in September, but there were. Five stars only for the fact that for the first time I rest 5-10 meters from both the sea and the lagoon. It was wonderful for me.
There are also entertainment programs every evening, contests if you like that ...
Almost all the staff speaks a little Russian.
We went to Cairo, it took a very long time to get there and back for at least 10 hours, the bus is extremely inconvenient, if this is your dream to see the pyramids, go ahead, you will survive everything, but if you are not so interested, then it is better not to torment yourself... Marussia 🔥

The hotel itself is very old:
- the furniture is all dead
- the watering can was in some kind of mold in the bathroom
- the bed linen is old
Originally it was on the ground floor with a view of the lagoon. People often go there in the evenings too; you can hear everything. There is no sound insulation. It's hard to sleep.
The next day we moved to another room: they also offered some kind of fucked up. One is scarier than the other: either next to the elevator, or from the balcony to the stage; where animation for children takes place in the evenings; it is impossible to sleep. It feels like the guy at the reception was bullying us. He offered not better, but worse.
We moved into more or less normal rooms (everything is the same in terms of furniture, the bathroom and the room itself are just cleaner), so the walls are so thin that we heard the neighbors having sex for two nights.
At night, the door to the balcony was opened somehow, so it was impossible to get rid of the wind. I had to close the balcony. The room is stuffy. There were also times when it was pulled from the balcony either by someone's smoking, or by some kind of sewer.
The food is tasteless. Alcohol is of very low quality.
There were 2 restaurants to choose from: Italian even more or less; although it is difficult to call it Italian. It took a long time for the Asian restaurant to bring us what we ordered. They didn't bring that at all. So also, according to the stated options in the menu, not everything converged there. Again, it's tasteless.
Wi-Fi is paid!!! There is a free Wi-Fi at the reception. Bitch, I've never connected, how many times I've tried. The reception referred to a lot of people in the lobby trying to connect, so the connection fails. Bullshit
After Moscow Time, of course, all these inconveniences are just a blow, wild stress.
Another friend of mine dived in the lagoon with a mask to see this shark net. Yes, there is one. But not to the bottom. There is a decent gap where, in fact, any shark can swim.
The service is also average. I can say that only the excursions from the tour operator Biblioglobus were very cool. And the guides are top.
The hotel itself is just one solid minus.
From the good that I will note (because of this, I did not put a unit):
- a large area
- in the lagoon, the water is clear and of a fabulous blue color.
- on the other side of the lagoon - access to the sea and the presence of its own reef; where you can swim; fish to see. Just like in aquaurim. And its own first line. This is a big plus; but it is, in fact, nature and a good location.
Everything else that relates to the hotel itself is tin. I do not recommend it.

To be honest, I don't even know where to start...
we arrived at the hotel on September 17th at 8 a.m. The first impression in appearance was quite positive: a huge territory, a beautiful lobby
According to the check-in time, we were supposed to have at 14.00, and we were able to get the bracelets only at 10.30. At the same time, our things were just in a corner at the entrance to the hotel, there was no separate storage room or room (i.e. anyone could come up to pick up other people's things). Fortunately, we were able to check in earlier and then only because we paid $20 to the staff
They settled us in the penultimate building with a view of the bay and the sea itself, and brought our suitcases to the room. But then they immediately started asking about chocolate, whether we have it or not. Initially, we thought that we were interested in whether there was chocolate in the mini-bar, but as it turned out later, the man who brought the suitcase asked for a tip in this way (in Egypt they love Russian chocolate very much, because the same chocolates in their store are worse in quality)
After checking in, we went to lunch, where the food did not please us (we thought we just fell under such a day, but no)
There was a show program in the evening, which seemed quite bright
The next day we had a meeting with the hotel guide, who told us about our accommodation, insurance and excursions, saying that his excursions were cheaper, in fact, again, it turned out not to be so.
We stayed at this hotel for 10 nights, which seemed a very long time, many factors contributed to this
1. Terrible room cleaning. For 10 nights, we have never had our bed linen changed (or to be more precise, it was changed only 1 time on one of the two beds after 3 days of swearing)
2. The food is monotonous, nothing changes at all. One of the advantages is a wonderful omelet for breakfast and 1 good dish for dinner (different every day). They gave pancakes for breakfast every day, which were not baked at all. There is no seafood - from the word at all - it was very upset
3. There are a lot of crows on the territory that shit on things on the balcony, steal things from sun beds and scatter garbage
4. A dirty bay, despite the fact that it is cleaned (cups float, vegetables - what struck me the most)
5. Bad monotonous animation that lasts less than an hour in the evening (from 20.00 to 21.00 for children, from 21.00 to 22.00 for adults, but in fact only 30 minutes of activity out of this time). At the same time, the animators go and invite everyone to the disco at 23.00 with departure from the hotel for $ 15, where alcohol is paid
6. Alcohol in bars is terrible + they still sell it
7. All the best benefits to the Arabs, an extra piece, a delicious cocktail, etc., the rest are rude, they say they will not give more, etc. But if you leave a tip, then you immediately become their "brother"
8. A huge area that is not used for its intended purpose
9. Towels can be received only in the morning, and handed over only in the evening
10. The key to the room in the form of a card that you don't know where to put when you go to the sea
11. The staff does not know Russian and English well (except for animators). The reception does not understand at all when you talk to them in these languages. How to hire people who do not know English (especially at the reception)
12. Wi-fi in the lobby works disgusting, but it is not available anywhere else or for a fee, so you need to buy an exorbitantly expensive SIM card or a personal router on site. I do not recommend buying a SIM card on the territory of the hotel, where the store is located. The seller shows a lot of positive reviews, but in fact it is a deception. We bought a SIM card for 40 GB of Internet from him, we ran out of it for 19 GB
13. As for the ala-card restaurants, we only managed to go to an Italian restaurant. Overall it was not bad, but the next day we were served exactly the same food in the dining room
14. When checking out of the hotel, the bracelets are immediately cut off. Our departure was at 21.00, and departure from the hotel at 17.00. They did not let us go to lunch without a bracelet, they said that it was only for a fee. For comparison, when meeting other vacationers at the airport, everyone was wearing bracelets and, accordingly, enjoyed all the benefits of their hotel before leaving for the airport
In general, unfortunately, the hotel has greatly spoiled the rest. The final score is 3 out of 10
I would like to say a special thank you only to the animators Ilya, Rinata, Nikita and Ekaterina, as well as the bartender Taha. Did you somehow manage to brighten up our vacation

We had a rest with a friend at this hotel from 12/14/2023 to 12/23/2023, we are flying out today! We are very happy with our stay, the hotel is wonderful...and the territory..and the beach, and the food!!! Although this is our first time in Egypt, we really enjoyed it! We swam every day, the sea was calm, warm, no waves, there was wind sometimes, but it didn't stop us because of the lagoon that is in this hotel, we didn't feel it! The food is varied and delicious...beef, chicken, fish every day, vegetables, fruits abound, animation is good, live music was almost every day ...! The staff is always friendly! Well done, everything is great!!!

Yes, every hotel in Egypt has shoals, but the location, the sea and the reef overshadow everything.
An ideal lagoon for children and for those who are afraid of sharks. At the end of the hotel there is a reef with beautiful fish.

In principle, it is quite a good hotel, especially for families with children. If you do not pay attention to minor flaws in the form of an old number of rooms, and a large number of crows on the territory)). The food is quite good, do not wake up hungry, there are no frills, but everything is decent. The sea is wonderful, there is a reef with fish behind the fish restaurant.

We rested from 23.10 to 01.11.2023 . Great hotel! Unexpectedly for Hurghada, a gorgeous coral reef. Lagoon with shark netting, even if the sea is stormy, you can swim in the lagoon. A variety of animated events, a lot of slides of varying complexity. Beaches for every taste! There were enough sun beds for everyone, despite the 100% load of the hotel. The food is good, there is always fish, chicken, beef, salads and side dishes are standard. I do not recommend a la carte restaurants for free so as not to spoil the mood, but for the money there are excellent restaurants, but they do not belong to the hotel, so this is not a minus.

The norm. There is a private bay. A small sandy beach. There is a reef. But it was very windy in November. A lot of people. Because of this, you need to take sun loungers in advance and there are queues in the restaurant.
