I do not understand why so many bad reviews, I will explain why:
I'll start with the fact that the hotel is located close to the airport, we drove 15 minutes or less, the airport in Marsa Alam is small, few flights, so check-in took 10-15 minutes. We flew from Join Up, who has the opportunity to choose another tour operator, it is better to choose another. Our flight was first canceled and choosing another number, and arriving at the airport we learn that the flight was postponed for another 5 hours)
Now about the hotel itself. (we were in Sharm and Hurghada in 5-star hotels, this time we chose Marsa Alam) after reading mixed reviews, we chose this hotel and did not regret it)
We were settled half an hour after arrival, and we arrived at about 9, that is, this early check-in - I note that we did not pay anything extra.

When choosing a tour immediately chose a room with sea view, arrived we settled immediately in a room with sea view without any questions or surcharges, there is an offer that from standard rooms without a view you can pay for 7 days 50 euros and stay in a room with sea view ) but I think it is not necessary because the hotel is so built that almost all rooms have sea views just one building closer or direct, and the second remote view)

Room: large, spacious, everything is clean and very comfortable) yes, the furniture is a little older, and the bathroom is not super new, but everything is clean! WiFi works well. We didn't buy their card because it doesn't pull here. There is no normal tower here.
Cleaning: every day, towels are changed, if you want to change your towels you need to throw them on the floor, so they understand what needs to be changed, this is in most hotels in Egypt, the bathroom even has instructions for this) everything is super clean, washed and fold things) put water every day, after 11 or 12 hours) refrigerator, hair dryer, TV work, safe as well)

Food: very tasty cooking, a large selection of food, fruits now: peaches, oranges, bananas, apples, pineapples, dates, melons, watermelons.

Staff: friendly.

Territory: small, that's a plus, we were in large hotels, which caused inconvenience, everything is close to the sea and the reception and restaurant.

Animation: in the evening there are games for children, various shows, there were no discos, so I do not know about it, every morning exercise, yoga, there is tennis, billiards, mini football, basketball, diving center.

Pools: clean, there is one heated.
Sea: often stormy, but we swam and dived in the afternoon (just the wind subsides in the evening). The pontoon is long, but it doesn't take much effort for us to walk. The descent from the pontoon is normal, and there are sometimes many people, but if you swim a little further then it is quite convenient. Near the shore there is a sandy sunset which is good for children and shallow, for adults it is better to go to the pontoon to look at the fish, there are many ! ! )


Diving: there is a diving center on the beach, we took dives in them, who likes to dive is highly recommended ! ! ) the underwater world can not be compared with Hurghada or Sharm, we dived near the hotel, diving 45 minutes, individual instructor, beautiful coral reef, stingrays, manatees, fish are different, all very much and there is something to look at !! ! )

A little about our tour operator, if you choose to join up: were at a meeting with a guide, it's a waste of an hour, but the guide must give a voucher and fill out a form.
At the expense of excursions it is horror, I did not see so many dissatisfied people in any hotel, all wave money, or take not there or do not return if something is wrong. Our guide is Tarik. I advise you not to take excursions from Join.

The hotel has many foreigners, but the hotel is quiet. In general, everything is fine! ) If you went again to Marsa Alam, you would choose this hotel)
