I am happy with my stay at the empire beach agua park hotel. The room was cleaned every day. Nice beach. Good entry into the sea. They cooked delicious food. Nice, courteous staff at the reception, as well as at the bar, restaurant, and on the beach. I plan to go again.

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. 😁

We just left this hotel today.
About the hotel:
At least two hotels are located here:
Royal and Empire. The Royal is a relatively new hotel, the Empire is an old one. Be careful when booking, it may be written royal, but they will settle in the empire.
The territories of both hotels are small, but green
Rooms:
With a sea view, these are old rooms, everything works, but it is clear that the rooms are tired. Consider the sea view for yourself, the balconies are small, you won't sit much, you won't admire, due to the fact that the heat and the air conditioner are constantly working, you can't see much of the sea from the room, a couple of photos no more. See for yourself whether it's worth paying for this or not.
Overlooking the pool - well, in my opinion everything is clear, the noise, the hubbub, but if you came here not to sit in the room, then the norm
Overlooking the garden - the rooms are fresher, panoramic Windows, but not far from the pool, so it's the same as the pool.
Beach:
The beach is nearby, deep enough, there is a small coral reef with fish, due to the fact that boats are parked nearby, Oil sometimes leaks, the staff quickly cleans everything. There are enough sun beds, but it's better to go to the beach before breakfast and borrow it, I can finish. Plus, they bring at least two or three more hotels here, so there is a little competition, but there is still.
In general, the beach is good, there are fish
Entertaining:
There is no such thing here, teams gather in the afternoon to play volleyball, in the evening there is a kind of nightclub on the territory, you can dance and drink. That's it.
Food:
You need to understand that Egypt is not a culinary country, so the food here is monotonous, but the predecessors are completely right, you will not stay hungry, but do not count on a special variety. By the second week, everything was already boring.
Staff:
It's really a gem here, they try very hard, if you ask to change the linen, towel, give water or replace the room, they will definitely do it. Do not offend him, leave a couple of dollars for tea and you will be pleased with all sorts of figures made of towels
Vacationers:
Mostly pensioners from Germany, Poland, Italy, as well as many locals. In any case, we have not encountered any difficulties.
The feeling as a whole:
When we were driving, we had no special illusions, we understood that this was a troika, which means Spartan conditions. They also paid $20 extra to get a good room (this is the norm for Egypt). The purpose of the trip was to relax on the beach, the sea and take a break from worries. It worked out. The rest was not spoiled, but there is no direct wow effect. We won't go a second time.
I recommend it to those who have a very tight budget, no premium service habits and who just want to lie on the beach and swim.
