I want to write a detailed review precisely in the context of a pandemic, they themselves were looking for, but there were few fresh ones at that time. We arrived at the airport at 7:30 in the morning, went through all the procedures and left already met the guides, it took literally up to 20 minutes to go to the hotel. At about 9:00-9:30 in the morning we were already at the hotel. All suitcases are left at the entrance to the hotel and treated with some kind of agent, they are not brought into the hall. You can enter the hotel in masks, then you don’t have to wear them (only when you checked in and when you went to the mall for mangoes). Immediately at the reception they took the documents for the settlement, and we were told to go to have breakfast (despite the fact that we do not have breakfast on this day).
We had a Standard room in the package, but for $ 20 it turned into a 2-room luxury room overlooking the sea and the pool (there were two adults and a child 2 years old). The room had 2 huge balconies (on one table and 2 chairs, on the second 2 sun loungers), a refrigerator, a plasma TV, a safe, a kettle, the furniture, of course, is not new, but for us it was not so important. Walk to the beach 3-5 minutes maximum. The beach is huge and half empty, the sea is just beautiful. Every evening, the sunbeds on the beaches were also treated with some kind of sprayer, in the morning the beach was cleaned from debris - everything is clean, the sunbeds are not new, but there was no one broken or killed. If you go with a child, the beach is just a bomb - a sandy beach and not a sharp entry into the depths of the sea.
There are 5 or 6 pools on the territory, there is enough for everyone and they don’t sit on each other’s heads (of which 2 are for children). We saw how they took samples for water quality in the pool, they clean the pools every day with special equipment. Also, once the water was drained in the nursery and there was also a complete disinfection - no one swam in it. There is a water park on the territory, more precisely 4-5 slides, for a change it was enough to move out a couple of times. In restaurants at the time when we were resting, there were 3 A la carte restaurants and 2 ordinary ones with a buffet - they were everywhere, but I won’t say that A la carte was very different from the usual. In buffet restaurants - workers pour everything for you - you just show what and how much.

By nutrition:
- breakfast: standard as in hotels, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, meat and cheese cuts, vegetables, pancakes, fruits, tea, coffee, etc.
- lunch and dinner: there were always 2-4 types of meat, a separate grill menu, not much but something from the sea, fresh vegetables and fruits, pies, cereals, potatoes, etc.
In fact, you won't leave hungry. The only thing you should not drink is the type of juice-Yuppi)))) There are bars - local alcohol, everything is standard. The staff is great, everyone is trying and doing their job perfectly, there were no problems. Wi-fi is free only in one place, but we did not come for the Internet, it was quite enough for us to call or write home once a day for half an hour. Animation - there is on the beach, by the pool, in the evening there is a children's disco and later an adult one, we lived up to the children's disco))
Excursions - standardly offered a guide, as well as locals on the beach. After analyzing the tours and the price, it turned out that the guide has a smaller program and is more expensive by $ 10-15 per person. We took an excursion to the Sahara on the beach for $ 30 per person, we didn’t regret it for a second - the program was a bomb: quad biking, buggy, jeep driving 25 km in the desert, and then camel riding, the Bedouins were treated to tea. In short, it was interesting for both adults and children. Even in the hotel were mostly Ukrainians, Serbs, Macedonians and local Egyptians. Since there are very few tourists, we were told that they made good discounts for the locals and there are a lot of them in all hotels. We checked out at 5 in the morning, we gave everyone dry rations with us, but it must be booked in advance in the evening.
In general, we were very pleased with the tour and vacation.
