All inclusive

Hotel Royal (Sharm el-Sheikh) offers its guests service and food on two systems. This is the so-called Ultra All Inclusive (UAL) and Royal Ultra All Inclusive (RUAL). By the way, many tourists, buying tickets to this or that hotel, very often wonder what they mean and these abbreviations. Since the issue of nutrition - one of the most significant on vacation, then we will focus attention on these designations.

According to the All Inclusive system (we call it all-inclusive), all five-star hotels of a country like Egypt operate. Royal Albatros Moderna 5 * - not an exception. In principle, this is the best option for a tourist who does not want to burden himself with worries about daily food. All Inclusive is standard and, so to speak, "heaped up." Under the standard is meant food (breakfasts, lunches, snacks, dinners, as a rule, buffet), free drinks (juices, water, alcoholic drinks, but, as a rule, local production). And all this without limits. And also the opportunity to engage in all types of sports offered by the hotel, which do not require any additional costs from the administration (for example, gasoline for refueling motor boats, etc.). Further, all the additions to the main All Inclusive type Mega, Ultimate, the same Royal and Ultra - this is nothing more than, by and large, the PR campaign of the hotel administration. As a rule, the maximum that you get for these supplements is the availability of not only local but imported alcohol in the menu. That, albeit nice, but not always worth it to overpay for it several times when buying a voucher.

What does Royal Albatros Moderna offer us then? Ultra All Inclusive - this is just the same as imported alcohol, but not at night, as well as a glass of compulsory freshly squeezed juice for breakfast. Putting the word "royal" to the type of service described above, we will get the following on the way out: in addition, a free visit to the Chinese a-la carte restaurant ("ultra" owners will have to pay for it) and a jacuzzi in the SPA complex. And also the opportunity to use once without paying for laundry services. There are not that many privileges, are they? However, it's a matter of taste. The food in both cases will be the same. Therefore further - about food.

From five to seven in the main restaurant of the hotel - Red Sea Restaurant - a table is set for an early continental breakfast. Here you can order something easy from the menu, say, scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs that are cooked before your eyes, drink the same juice or coffee.

For lovers of late sleep, a late (from ten to twelve o'clock) American breakfast is offered at the Italian restaurant Toscani Restaurant. Nobody will remain hungry, but, as a rule, you can get all the same eggs from hot dishes. In the rest - snacks, buns, jam, etc.

While the sisters are having breakfast, the early birds are already preparing for dinner, which starts at 12:00 and lasts until 18:00. The Royal Albatros Moderna Hotel (Sharm el Sheikh) has developed a very interesting and convenient system, for which he has a special thanks.

If there is a desire to pay 5 euros per person, then the grill is served separately. For the same amount, you can additionally purchase all kinds of desserts. After ten in the evening and until midnight, a late dinner is offered at Toscani Restaurant - for those who are late on the main. And it is quite spree can after dinner at midnight dine at Patio, which is an extension to the main restaurant. However, in both cases it will be necessary to be content with cold snacks.

Children usually eat together with their parents, nevertheless in the Royal Albatros Moderna from five to half the sixth is covered with a specially "buffet" for a children's dinner (in the main restaurant).

You can also order food in the room, and around the clock. But this service will require a separate payment.

Cost of rest

As for the cost of living, in Royal Albatros Moderna 5 prices can be called even democratic (especially for a hotel of this level), given that today Sharm el-Sheikh is considered one of the most expensive resorts in Egypt. Naturally, the cost depends on the category of apartments. But if we talk about the average figures, then the day spent at the Royal Albatross Modern Hotel will cost approximately 3800 rubles. The ticket from Moscow costs from 1700 rubles (the price depends on a class of interior and date of departure), for a charter it is possible to pay for one thousand rubles less. Of course, someone can say that it's expensive, but still, if you consider that you pay for the "all-inclusive" described above, thus removing from the agenda a lot of problems and gaining the opportunity to do nothing, but just enjoy your vacation, Then this is not such a big sum. But the impressions will last until the next summer.

Reviews

As for reviews about the hotel, they are mostly, as a rule, positive. There are also negative ones, but they, let's just say, are not serious. Some complain that restaurants serve too many meat dishes. But in fact for someone this aspect is just not a minus, but a plus. Especially as many people who visited the hotel have noted that the menu is more than diverse: there are vegetables, fruits, seafood, and delicious pastries. Russian tourists are also pleased with the courteous and attentive staff, and especially the fact that many employees understand the Russian language, so that problems with communication do not arise. The service offered by the hotel is also appreciated by many, and especially pleased with the Royal Albatross Moderna of parents who believe that this magnificent Egyptian hotel is an excellent place for children's recreation. As for entertainment, then yes, some of them really do not have enough. However, the complex, which was discussed in today's review, and does not position itself as the second Ibiza. Rather, on the contrary, all the efforts of the administration are aimed at attracting couples with children to the hotel. By the way, for those who do not have enough fun on the territory of the Albatross, you can offer a great way - to have fun outside of its walls, in the city. By the way, the hotel administration always listens to the wishes of its customers, and therefore from the hotel to the city constantly (and even at night) a shuttle bus that takes you to any nightclub or disco, and then brings it back. Especially impatient or strolled can call a taxi.
