Hotel location, contacts and map
The full name of the hotel located in Hurghada is Premium SeaGull Beach Resort & Club 4*(literally translated Sea Gull means " sea gull"), the title word, which is difficult for Russian transcription, gives rise to many spelling variants of the Cyrillic name of the hotel Premium Seagal (Sea Gal, Sea Gul) Beach Resort and Club, but the most successful and frequent one is still the variant that coincides with the surname of a famous actor.
First, some dry statistics. Built on the shores of the Red Sea in center of New Hurghada in 2001, partially restored and completed in 2005. To the airport 10 km, to El Gouna – 35 . The area is small by local standards, but green and in good condition. Two private beaches, length 100 and 150 meters, fine sand, entrance to the water without pebbles and corals. Divers are treated with care, everything they need is provided, and snorkeling here is a must. It is worth adding that Seagal in various ratings of Egyptian hotels often falls into top hundred.

Excursions and attractions
The hotel is very well located: on one side there is the sea, on the other there is a sea of entertainment. New Hurghada is specially created for tourists. There is entertainment here for people of any gender, nationality and social status. The sweet life is in full swing around the clock. However, to visit the most famous places rest, need to get to Sakalli, the new center of Hurghada. The entertainment palace in Sakalla is worth a visit "1000 and 1 night" where spectacular performances or shows are held "Dancing Fountains".
Also at your service are three giant water parks, and “Sinbad”, located on the territory of the hotels of the same name. Worth seeing Aquarium, legendary "Hurghada traffic light", museum biology of the Red Sea. Even in the Old Town, you should not pass by the eastern market, Abdulhasan Elshazy Mosque and Coptic churches. Newly built of exceptional beauty mosque al haram. The most interesting thing, in my opinion, is still outside the city walls. First of all, this is the Red Sea and everything connected with it.
You can take a boat or yacht trip to the coral islands Utopia and Giftun
Just order individual tour. Fishing, diving, desert safari.

We decided to go to Egypt again. I went with a friend because my husband couldn’t do it due to work. Before that we were in five stars, now we decided to save money and went to 4 stars. As for check-in, everything went without any questions, quickly and clearly (after 20 minutes we were already up to our room)....More ▾ We decided to go to Egypt again. I went with a friend because my husband couldn’t do it due to work. Before that we were in five stars, now we decided to save money and went to 4 stars.
As for check-in, everything went without any questions, quickly and clearly (after 20 minutes we were already up to our room). The things were carried by a porter. We were accommodated in a new building in a room overlooking the pool (they said that we were very lucky, since such rooms are usually occupied). The room was fresh, two new beds, an LCD TV, well furnished, although the furniture was far from new, the shower was clean, there was even a hair cap. The minibar was not bad in principle: there was cola, Fanta, and juice, but that’s what we used. I also didn’t really like the lack of a kettle, but this is for tea lovers like us. I won’t write about the fact that in 4 stars everything is much simpler, and everything is clear.
I didn’t really like the food, because from the small number of products, especially meat (as far as I understood, the only meat was beef and chicken) they were trying to come up with some kind of variety, and this was immediately obvious. Despite this, there are no complaints about the taste. There are dishes for exotic lovers local cuisine. There was very little fruit, but in principle we were satisfied with everything. The first time I was faced with the fact that there was not enough room at dinner, I had to wait...
We went into town a couple of times and ate at McDonald's (it's located not far from the hotel). There is a 20 minute walk from the hotel fish market, they cut up and cooked the fish for us right there, which we chose ourselves - very tasty and fun. And in general, I liked the location of the hotel in the city strip - there is somewhere to walk (if you can fight off the local sellers, of course).
The only thing we bought from the locals was an excursion (here, as I understand, everyone does this, but in reality it’s much more expensive at the hotel). We went to Luxor. The place is beautiful and a little distracting from the usual landscapes, I highly recommend going there to anyone who hasn’t been, the photos are amazing. We also went to a banana plantation. And we ate plenty of fruit - everything was of the highest standard. We were offered two more trips to Paradise Island, but we chose Utopia Island - super! I really enjoyed going on a yacht, sailing from the island into the sea, there is such beautiful white sand, fine, just wonderful, I recommend it, and all the trips cost us very little, at the hotel we found out it was twice as expensive.
The hotel area is quite large and landscaped, with a lot of greenery and exterior items. Nice clean pools - we swam a couple of times in total, we came to the sea after all. There is a water park, but we never got there, but we stopped at the mini-zoo every time to feed the monkeys, like little children (but it was fun).
The beach is amazing. Actually there are two of them and both are great. True, the one near the old building is dirty, so we almost didn’t swim there. The sunbeds are always occupied almost from seven in the morning, but we learned that for a couple of bucks you can always find a couple of free ones without unnecessary nerves, swearing and early awakenings, and we didn’t worry about it. I also really enjoyed the entertainment. The animators tried their best and entertained as best they could; they did it very professionally.
Bottom line: for Egypt, Hurghada and 4 * everything is very decent
We vacationed with my husband from 08/27/2018 to 09/06/2018. We arrived at the hotel.We vacationed with my husband from 08/27/2018 to 09/06/2018. We arrived at the hotel at 16:00, were given passports to process, they put a bracelet on us and sent us to a snack bar for lunch...
My husband and I vacationed in different countries And different hotels, and we have something to compare with.
And so... after all the registration, we were shown to our room. Room 456. The first emotion from what he saw was shock and panic! The room is no larger than 14 sq.m. The ceiling is low and sloping towards the window. Feeling like the ceiling is on your head. Furniture includes a bed, one bedside table with one narrow drawer, an ottoman and a dressing table! ALL! No chest of drawers, no extra shelf. There is nowhere to put things at all. There is a wardrobe with hangers, but there are no shelves. And where to put all the brought things is not at all clear. And if there is a family with a child, then this is just a pipe! The only pleasant moment is the view from the room of palm trees and neighboring hotel, and on the left is the sea. Because There is a view and worse are the basement rooms and rooms overlooking the corridor of the neighboring building. Next is the bathroom. Very small - 2x2 meters, that's the maximum. Shower stall for midgets. I’m a girl (size 46) and I could barely fit in it, and when it comes to washing my long hair, it’s just hell... The toilet worked every once in a while and didn’t always flush everything that got into it :) Safe in the room is paid ($1 per day) . The mini bar is empty. There is no drinking water. You can put it in your own bottles at the restaurant.
The next circle of hell is the Elektra air conditioner. The air conditioner hangs to the right of the bed and blew directly on the sleeping people, as a result the husband caught a cold... :(There were only 2 ways to avoid cold air getting on the sleeping people - 1 try to direct the air flow along the ceiling and 2 method (we were advised by vacationers who, too, If you managed to catch a cold under the air conditioner, cover the working air conditioner with a towel so that the air flow goes down. The air conditioner itself is very old - during operation the mechanisms whistled and rumbled. At night we slept with pillows on our heads in order to somehow muffle the roar. Yes, We called a technician on the first day to eliminate the noise. A man who spoke neither Russian nor English came, knocked on the body of the air conditioner, smiled and left. An important point - the air conditioner does not have a native remote control, but a universal one. I accidentally pressed on the "S" (select) button and thereby changing the settings. I went to the reception for help, they promised to send me a technician. While waiting for help, I turned to the almighty Google and lo and behold! we ourselves restored the settings for the air conditioner. And the master came to us only after 11 hours!!! Those. If we hadn’t set it up ourselves, we would have had to sleep in the heat and stuffiness.
An interesting incident happened. While on vacation, Google sent me a request for a review of the hotel. I described everything (as in this review - about the beach, the room and of course the air conditioning). 30 minutes later the hotel manager sent me an angry response. Claiming that I’m a liar, that all their air conditioners are only Mitsubishi and Fujitsu (let me remind you, we have Elektra in our room), that they have the most varied cuisine and the like...
Now about food... without worrying. There is a main restaurant and a snack bar, which is also, like, a beach bar. But the distance from the snack bar to the beach is the same as from the main restaurant. Because The hotel has almost no beach. The entire beach is two concrete paths. And all the people nest near the restaurant territory. But let's get back to the food. The food in the restaurant is monotonous and very poor. Meat - chicken, turkey, some kind of smelly fish and, sometimes, dry beef kebab. Poor selection of sweets. All salads are variations of the same products: finely chopped or coarsely chopped. Whole or halves and so on. From fruits - constant watermelons and sometimes apples, peaches or grapes. The bar is sooo meager, the white and red wine taste terrible. Beer (haven't tried), whiskey and gin. Well, soda. All! For breakfast there are almost no baked goods, just two empty buns. On the 4th day of rest, I already feel sick at the sight of the same food. I always went half hungry.
Let's go to the beach. As I already said, the hotel has almost none. Two concrete paths by the sea and three areas with sun loungers on the grass near the bar. There aren't enough sunbeds for everyone. The fight for sunbeds begins at 5 o'clock in the morning!! At 6 o'clock in the morning there are no longer any empty sunbeds. Those who did not have time to take a place on the grass and are forced to lie by the sea children's pool, with all that it implies... screams, swearing and constant crying! The main contingent of vacationers are couples with small(!) children and pensioners. There are almost no young people: (There are no TOWELS. You can buy them for $10 (but no one will wash them) or bring your own. Mattresses for sunbeds are also paid. Rent is $1/day per mattress. The space for sunbeds is very small in size. And it’s impossible to fit in comfortably. We sunbathed in tandem with our neighbors. Under their feet, and under ours, lay other lucky people.
The only consolation for me was the Hammam. The sorceress Aigul works there. I highly recommend going to her. I liked her so much that I went to her for an aroma massage.
P.S. the photos were not loaded on the site due to system requirements (ours are too big size). If anyone is interested, write in the comments and I’ll send it to the address.
Conclusion: don’t set foot in this hotel!
