Windsurfing
Because of its fantastic sunny windy weather, Hurghada is considered one of the best locations in the world for both, windsurfing and kitesurfing! Especially for windsurfers, the city of Hurghada at the northern Egyptian coast is a must because it is exactly here where the Red Sea Riviera adventure begun. The windsurfing centre is located directly on the long sandy beach of the Magawish Swiss Inn Resort where equipment can be rented and stored. The training and surfing area is just enormous here! An offshore sandbank smoothes the waves even with winds as strong as 7 bft and the chop-hops are never higher than 1 metre. The site with a standing area of about 30 metres, flat waves and fine sand makes it an ideal place for beginners but also advanced windsurfers have plenty opportunities to practice straps & water starts, harness and beach starts, planning and carving jibes. The centre is equipped with JB boards, Goya and Neil Pryde rigs.
Kitesurfing
This IKO kitesurfing centre is also located directly on the private hotel beach next to the windsurfing centre, and is the best site in the area for kitesurfing with dedicated huge shallow areas for beginner training, separate launch areas and the famous sandbank offshore. The launching and landing area is separated from the kite training bay where the water is knee to chest deep, with a flat surface and sandy bottom. Kite-surfers who encounter any problem will be rescued by one of the cruising rescue boats. The centre is equipped with the latest equipment from Naish, Underground and X-Shooter, from pure beginner equipment to the most advanced gear available on the market. All courses, open to anyone from the age of 12, are conducted in the upwind training bay and done according to IKO standards, leading to IKO certification;

After a wonderful day 14 Egypt round trip we wanted to relax on the red sea, but the hotel turned out to be total Total shock for us. Immediately after the pleasant sight of the huge old lobby we got an absolute rubbish bungalow, number 132. Greasy floor, bedding gray, several tiles in the whole room and bathroom broken, pillows and sofa of stains strewn, totally unacceptable. At the front desk no one spoke a word of German. After a long wait we got with the help of our tour operator a normal room, in back part of the area, the Italian guest... Read more

Hotel in general is in poor state , desperately in need of renovation.
However it's cleaned daily , every part of it. You can see dozens of workers each day running around, cleaning, watering plants and doing their best to make this old hotel look pleasant and enjoyable.
Service is all-inclusive, but not 24h, you have timetable in which restaurants you are entitled to get soft drinks and meals/snacks.
Type of guests are mostly Russians, (like in all Hurghada), but at my time there were a lot of Italians and Egyptians. Lot of older people,... Read more

We had rooms 202, 203, 205 not only these rooms were very far from the DIVE CENTER but to our surprise they were also in the most ugly part of the hotel, by ugly I mean its the part of the hotel less green, less taken care of, more dessertified, the part of the hotel closer to COLONA Dive Center is much nicer and green, more taken care of.
