I have been already sharing with you my Egypt travel experience. Sorry for constant repetition but this country enchanted me and I told you a lot about food, dangers, secrets, people BUT I failed to share with you info about one of the most important part of any trip – HOTELS. So, my dears, I was in Egypt three times, two of them I was in Hurghada, a very controversial city (most people don’t even treat it as a resort) but  I don’t belong to them. So while going there  I was looking for such hotels capable of ensuring: luxurious rest, great facilities, pleasant service, nice location, tasty food (fresh juices) and not extremely high rates, after some suggestions I decided to choose:

• Le Meridien Makadi Bay Hotel Hurghada

Although most travellers claimed it to be not very beautiful and in general so-so… I must say, I liked it, especially its 6,400 square metre swimming pool. To my mind the only one drawback of this hotel is its location – it is so far from the city center. ((( Anyway, you can check it out here.

• Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel Hurghada

And this hotel left me speechless. Its swimming polls are definitely not so great as in Le Meridien, but it closer to the center, provides priceless Internet connection, it is newer, so cleaner and more beautiful. I had ULTRA All Incl, so mango fresh juices made my days ))). The only one thing I didn’t like about it – the hotel is new and its territory is not very green. Check the photos here and in my Flickr photostream.

As to the prices, they are definitely higher than in usual 5-star hotels. I was checking them at HotelsCombined. 

Enjoy your rest!
