Full transcript

1. 0:04Oh, are we doing well, my dears. Are we
2. 0:08doing well? Tell me, we really are
3. 0:13blessed. Hello from Hurghada, everyone.
4. 0:20The Vacation Checker is on the move
5. 0:22again. Yesterday in Soma Bay and today
6. 0:25here in Hurghada. And here in Hurghada,
7. 0:30I’ve just finished an orientation of
8. 0:34a newly opened hotel, the Amarina
9. 0:37Sapphire. A new little gem right here
10. 0:41in the middle of Hurghada. Insiders
11. 0:46might know where Mahmya Beach is, where
12. 0:48you also take boats over to Giftun
13. 0:50Island to Mahmya Beach, and right next
14. 0:53door a new hotel has opened. A hotel
15. 0:57with only 184 rooms, an adults-only
16. 1:00hotel, and I have the honor of doing
17. 1:03three live broadcasts from there the
18. 1:05day after tomorrow. Tomorrow it's Soma
19. 1:10Bay's turn for the live broadcasts, and
20. 1:12the day after tomorrow, the Amarina
21. 1:14will be featured live three times on
22. 1:16Sonnenklar TV. And as always, we
23. 1:19naturally want to get an impression
24. 1:21beforehand of the newly opened hotels,
25. 1:23or any hotels we don't know yet, so
26. 1:25that when we are there live and go on
27. 1:27air, we know what we're talking about.
28. 1:32And you saw it right at the beginning,
29. 1:34the Sonnenklar towel on the lounge
30. 1:36chair. This is also a bit of a
31. 1:39privileged hotel for Sonnenklar TV
32. 1:41guests. There will be a separate area
33. 1:44for Sonnenklar TV guests, and the day
34. 1:47after tomorrow we will also go to air
35. 1:49with a great opening special. Sure,
36. 1:52those are always starting prices. I
37. 1:54always hear the cynical voices saying,
38. 1:56"Yeah, that's all a scam, those prices
39. 1:58aren't real." These prices do exist,
40. 2:02and we all know that in any industry,
41. 2:04advertising often uses starting prices.
42. 2:08This means the flight times might not
43. 2:10be ideal, the airport location might
44. 2:11not be ideal for you, or the travel
45. 2:13dates might not be ideal, but if you
46. 2:15are flexible, you have the chance to
47. 2:17book at that starting price. They are
48. 2:20limited allotments, yes, but they do
49. 2:23exist. And I always say, if the entry
50. 2:26price is low, then you have a real
51. 2:28chance of booking a good hotel for
52. 2:31relatively little money. So, stay tuned
53. 2:35. I will announce the exact broadcast
54. 2:39times, but I would still like to take
55. 2:41you along live through this new hotel
56. 2:44that hasn't been open very long—that
57. 2:47is the privilege we have here on our
58. 2:49Vacation Checker Egypt channel. I’ll
59. 2:53switch the view now, and some of you—
60. 2:56I’d say the insiders—will recognize
61. 2:59him. There he is. That’s Raymond.
62. 3:02I've known Rayon since my time at the
63. 3:05Amarina in Abu Soma.
64. 3:08And he was sent here to Hurghada to get
65. 3:11the team up to speed and in shape. He
66. 3:13told me it’s only temporary. You'll
67. 3:16be heading back to Abu Soma.
68. 3:22He’s tasted city life. He’s caught
69. 3:23a whiff of the city air. So, Raymond
70. 3:25and I have known each other since the
71. 3:27opening of Amarina Abu Soma. He had a
72. 3:29great career there, starting from the
73. 3:31reception desk. And what are you now?
74. 3:34Regional Director of Amarina.
75. 3:38Regional Director of Amarina Hotels. My
76. 3:42goodness, that is quite the career path
77. 3:44. Congratulations on that. But in Egypt
78. 3:46, you have to work really hard for that
79. 3:48. Nothing is given to you for free.
80. 3:5024/7, your poor family. So, I’d like
81. 3:54to show our fans here what it looks
82. 3:57like. Let’s do a quick pan here over
83. 4:00the beach. You can see the Beach Bar
84. 4:06nicely in the front. We have the pool
85. 4:08bar right here. The pool bar is a
86. 4:10sit-in bar. We can show that in a
87. 4:12moment too. We specifically waited
88. 4:18until the animation was over. There was
89. 4:20water aerobics going on just a bit ago.
90. 4:22Now it's nice and quiet again. And what
91. 4:25I also love is that the hotel is small.
92. 4:29The hotel only has 184 rooms. That
93. 4:33means it’s really very intimate and
94. 4:34very comfortable. You have a beautiful
95. 4:37beach here where you can walk right
96. 4:38into the water and swim. The pool area
97. 4:42is over there, and now a pan over the
98. 4:44beach. You can see the easy entry into
99. 4:48the water here, and you can really swim
100. 4:50right from the beach without having to
101. 4:52walk forever on a jetty to get into the
102. 4:55water. The tides aren't very noticeable
103. 4:58here. So, Raymond is accompanying me.
104. 5:01My pleasure.
105. 5:03My bag is safe. Okay, there's 100,000
106. 5:07euros in there, you know? Ah yes, 2,000
107. 5:09.
108. 5:11And what can I say? The gimbal is
109. 5:14acting up again. I was struggling with
110. 5:16this stupid thing yesterday, and now
111. 5:19it’s giving me trouble again. I
112. 5:21don’t know what I did to it. It’s
113. 5:22freshly charged. So, I apologize in
114. 5:26advance for any jerky images. It’s
115. 5:30this stupid gimbal we have here. I
116. 5:33don’t know what I did to it. Our
117. 5:36Messig, which is our main restaurant
118. 5:38and buffet area.
119. 5:40Ah, is it lunchtime now, then?
120. 5:41Yes. Ah, then we can show the
121. 5:43restaurant. I hope the internet
122. 5:45connection is stable. It really has a
123. 5:53nice atmosphere, not too many frills,
124. 5:56not overloaded. Yes, Astrid is watching
125. 6:02too and already writing "gimbal" in the
126. 6:04comments. Please also share our live
127. 6:07video; we want to reach as many people
128. 6:09as possible. What I like here is that
129. 6:14it's not some huge hall. The restaurant
130. 6:17is divided up. The tables have the
131. 6:19necessary distance. The buffet is also
132. 6:21separated. Everything isn't all in one
133. 6:23clump. We are very lucky now that we
134. 6:27are here before the big crowds. The
135. 6:40soft opening phase is over. That’s
136. 6:42the hot station. Everything here is
137. 6:44freshly cooked. Here again, hot dishes
138. 6:48and salads. Remon is opening the lid.
139. 6:57Fish rolls. Pasta. Baked potatoes. Of
140. 7:07course with sour cream. Chicken pie.
141. 7:13Chicken pie. So, we’ve probably lost
142. 7:21a lot of viewers now because the
143. 7:22internet here in the restaurant was too
144. 7:24weak. I’ll do a quick pan over the
145. 7:27dessert again. I hope we are back now.
146. 7:38Manja comments that I should send down
147. 7:40a good internet connection. That
148. 7:42doesn't help me much right here. So,
149. 7:52now we’re going up here again. The
150. 7:55internet should be stable enough here
151. 8:04and the gimbal shouldn't disconnect
152. 8:06again. Oh man, here we are in the lobby
153. 8:11. The classic lobby bar. That is the
154. 8:16entrance from the street. Up there is
155. 8:20the reception. The Front Office Manager
156. 8:38is also here. Carolos.
157. 8:40Mr. Carolos is coming with us. We are
158. 8:42going to look at a room now.
159. 8:43Yes. And the guest relations.
160. 8:45That’s the guest relations. Do you
161. 8:46also speak German?
162. 8:47Uh, yes. A little bit.
163. 8:50A little bit.
164. 8:51This is
165. 8:52Fatima.
166. 8:53Fatma or Fatima.
167. 8:55Thank you very much. So, let’s see
168. 8:58where the room is.
169. 9:00Where the room is.
170. 9:02Okay.
171. 9:03Let's go. So, another note. This is now
172. 9:17our private tour. I don’t have a
173. 9:19vacation check remote-controlled here
174. 9:21the day after tomorrow, just three
175. 9:22short broadcasts. Um, I will announce
176. 9:26the pages, then you will find out a bit
177. 9:29more. You can also share this. Yes,
178. 9:34what can I say? Everyone here is of
179. 9:36course super friendly. They really have
180. 9:37that down. Yes, I also think we’d
181. 9:48better take the staircase. The
182. 9:50connection will be lost in the elevator
183. 9:51. Yes, we already showed the waterfall
184. 10:05at the entrance and as you can
185. 10:10impressively see, there is also room
186. 10:12service and now we are already in the
187. 10:17room. Look, we have this floor at home
188. 10:25too. Also here, especially for
189. 10:28Sonnenklar guests, a Sonnenklar towel
190. 10:31and also a bathrobe. Oh, glass-walled
191. 10:36bathroom with a bathtub. I hope the
192. 10:39toilet is separated. Now the gimbal is
193. 10:42disconnected again for a moment. Ah,
194. 10:44yes, here is a frosted door where there
195. 10:49is another shower and a separated
196. 10:52toilet. And that right there is a
197. 10:59Jacuzzi tub. We have the classics here,
198. 11:08of course: safe, guest amenities,
199. 11:11bathrobes, minibar, kettle—the
200. 11:14minibar is even very large, it stands
201. 11:17right next to it. Everything is kept in
202. 11:23light tones, very cozy. Sonnenklar
203. 11:26bathrobes. So, whoever books through
204. 11:32Sonnenklar gets real added value, and I
205. 11:34can already reveal that the package
206. 11:37we’re presenting the day after
207. 11:39tomorrow includes the à la carte
208. 11:41restaurants; that means you can use all
209. 11:43à la carte restaurants daily at no
210. 11:45extra charge. You just have to—it’s
211. 11:49getting drafty—you just have to make
212. 11:52a reservation. So, you have a great
213. 11:55view here, assuming the gimbal doesn't
214. 11:57tilt again. My God, it's so lovely,
215. 12:01looking out at the sea and the pool
216. 12:03area. Wonderful. Now, I should explain:
217. 12:14in our main building here, the ground
218. 12:17floor has our main restaurant, the
219. 12:19first floor has the lobby bar and
220. 12:22reception, the second floor has the
221. 12:24executive lounge, the third floor
222. 12:27houses our à la carte restaurants, and
223. 12:29the top floor has the spa and the gym.
224. 12:34This means all rooms and all services
225. 12:37here in the hotel have a sea view.
226. 12:42Perfect. So the hotel is really built
227. 12:43in such a way that no matter where you
228. 12:45are, you have a sea view. And as he
229. 12:48explained, down here is the terrace for
230. 12:50the lobby bar, above that is the
231. 12:53executive lounge. Above that are the à
232. 12:56la carte restaurants, and at the very
233. 12:58top is the wellness area. All this, of
234. 13:04course, in an adults-only area. I have
235. 13:06to emphasize that again, because a 184-
236. 13:09room hotel—there aren't that many
237. 13:12small hotels here in Hurghada. And for
238. 13:15anyone who really wants a relaxing
239. 13:17vacation, traveling without kids and
240. 13:19not wanting to be around other children
241. 13:20—those who know us know we had a
242. 13:22child-free hotel in Germany ourselves
243. 13:24—it's a lovely thing, and there is a
244. 13:26market for it in every age group. And
245. 13:29on top of that, the hotel is so central
246. 13:31. We are right next to the Mahmya Beach
247. 13:34. Basically, in the middle between two
248. 13:37districts. One district is Dahar with
249. 13:39Sheraton Road, and the other district
250. 13:41is El Kawther. In both districts, there
251. 13:45are great restaurants, bars, and shops.
252. 13:49So, if you want to stroll around a bit,
253. 13:53experience something, or go into town,
254. 13:56you are in very, very good hands here.
255. 14:01So, here is another look at the beach.
256. 14:04Cabanas are currently being built that
257. 14:07you can use, and that will also be a
258. 14:09bit of a designated area for Sonnenklar
259. 14:11guests. And here, too, is the brand-new
260. 14:15system where you can signal from inside
261. 14:18: I do not want to be disturbed. I want
262. 14:21the room to be cleaned, I want the room
263. 14:23not to be cleaned. So, that is a great
264. 14:25thing. Yes, my dears, now you have a
265. 14:31little impression of the newly opened
266. 14:34Amarina Saphir, well in German Saphir,
267. 14:37but from the outside and the look it is
268. 14:40Saphire, the English word for sapphire,
269. 14:45the newest hotel here in Hurghada in
270. 14:49the adults-only area with 184 rooms.
271. 14:54And day after tomorrow I will be live
272. 14:56here three times and show you a little
273. 14:59bit. So, turning the camera around
274. 15:07again. I say thanks for watching. We
275. 15:09had quite a few viewers. I think it’s
276. 15:11great that you are so interested. I
277. 15:13mean, it is also a great thing. A new
278. 15:15hotel opening is always exciting. I say
279. 15:18thanks to Raymon.
280. 15:19Thanks.
281. 15:20Thank you very much. We’ll stay in
282. 15:21touch and see each other day after
283. 15:23tomorrow, right?
284. 15:23See you day after tomorrow.
285. 15:24So my dears, take care, have a
286. 15:26wonderful day and see you soon.
