1. Check-in went quickly enough. We arrived in the evening, we were immediately sent to dinner, and after it immediately to the room. There are no questions here.
2. Number. All rooms are the same as in the pictures, but those that are simpler)) everything worked in the room: TV, mini fridge, air conditioning, safe (from which no one lost anything). The room was clean except for the window, which the cleaner didn't clean until the end of our stay, and the shower stall, which itself is no longer in perfect condition. But these are nuances. Basically everything was fine. Cleaned up every day. Everything is white and beautiful.
And my advice to you, buy the cheapest rooms in travel agencies, because upon arrival there they don’t even look at what room you have here. If you want a better room - pay extra at the reception when you check in 10-20 dollars and you will be accommodated wherever you want.

3. Beaches. And there are 2 of them. Paid and free. What is there, what you need to go there on a free bus that runs every hour from 8 am to 17.00. And he takes it back too. The distance to the paid beach is about 1 km, to the free one about 5. Maybe more. The beach that is free is very bad, dirty. Yes, and not on the sea, he really, but in a small bay. The entrance to the water is from the sand and there are absolutely no waves, which is good for children. There is a free bar on this beach, but the cocktails and drinks there are very poor. This beach is like in a village on a river. I do not advise. I was there once and left on the first bus. Now about the good. That beach that is paid costs 1 dollar (or 10 of their pounds) per person for entry. But the beach is really cool, the most gorgeous coral reef, sooooo many different beautiful fish swim right around you. Got a lot of fun. The entrance to the sea is from one pontoon, which is not very convenient when there are a lot of people. And the depth is immediately more than 10 meters, so look at your capabilities. Another disadvantage is that the bar on this beach is paid, although not very expensive.
4. Hotel. Everything is nice and clean. All attendants know Russian (except for the bus drivers at sea and the cleaners). Very comfortably. Even in the city itself, in all shops, stalls, restaurants, etc. know Russian. The hotel has 4 swimming pools, 2 of which are on the roof with a beautiful view of the sea. The pools are very clean and beautiful, there are always empty seats. Wi-fi is only near the reception and it is sooo bad. To log in from it each time you need to take the login and password at the reception, which works only for 1 login, and then you need to come each time for a new one.
5. Animation. Here they are really good. Constant fun entertainment program for children and adults, which takes place on the roof. Starting with exercises, water aerobics, yoga, water pollo, dancing near the pool, ending with an evening program at 21:00 for children, and at 21:30 for adults (competitions for a couple of the hotel, Mr. or Mrs. of the hotel, dances of different nations, etc. . ). Nobody is left unattended. Very fun and interesting.
5. The eviction also went very quickly and efficiently. Also, 4 hours later than they were supposed to be evicted, due to the transfer of the plane, but we were warned about this 24 hours in advance.
—additional information
If you decide to buy something - bargain until the last. What at first they asked for 17 dollars I bought for 7.
-Tours. Do not rush to book excursions and ask in detail about them. We had a case that a company offered a tour to Israel at a good price, as a result, more than half were not allowed at the border. They lost part of the money and a whole day of rest.

I ordered a comprehensive excursion to the lost city, which included camel riding, quad bike safari, lunch with Bedouins, a tour of the canyon, diving on a luxury boat near the island in neutral waters with panoramic views of 4 countries at once (Egypt, Jordan, Israel and Saud Arabia) + lunch with seafood in the same place. I liked everything very much. I advise. Costs $85 per person.
I also ordered a trip to a disco in the desert through a tour agency, but they got sick and asked to refuse, but they do not return the money, and simply postponed it to the next day. We went. It was terrible there. DJ about nothing, those three free cocktails, nothing. I do not advise.
-- That's basically it.
If you are accustomed to living a real life at 5 stars, then do not look among these, look for more. And for the money that is asked here - this is a very worthy option. My advice is.
