From Hurghada we traveled by minibus for 1.5 hours. The hotel is built in Nubian style in harmony with the desert and architecture of the village of El Quseir, located 8 km. From him. It consists of a complex of one-story bungalows, all rooms with a separate entrance. For ten dollars, we and our friends were put in a room starting at 11, this is next to the reception, the main restaurant and the beach. The best bungalows, in my opinion, start at 12. Those that are 21, the furthest, were first settled there. The room is of a normal size, with worn furniture, an old TV and a refrigerator, but at the same time everything is made of wood, in a special style. Everything worked in the room, there was a hair dryer, air conditioning, they cleaned, changed bedding, towels, mini bar.
We took food HB, did not regret it. A very decent breakfast with a variety of fruits (apple, peach, watermelon, melon, dates, plums, etc. ), omelettes, decent sausages, cheeses, pastries, orange juice, canned fish. For dinner, too, everything is worthy of the Swiss network, excellent cuisine, modestly, but tastefully and of high quality salads, soups, seafood, chicken, lamb, beef. There are no grocery lines. Serving with cloth napkins and three cutlery. Drinks during dinner for an additional fee.
There are few Russians in the hotel, there is no animation. Communicate with staff only in English. From the hotel every day there is a bus to El Quseir, where you can buy souvenirs, as well as water. Also, the hotel organizes trips to the desert on quad bikes, and to the village and the desert on bicycles.

The hotel is located in a small bay, 4 days out of 7 it was windy, the sea was stormy, a yellow flag hung, it was easy to swim, but coral gardens and fish were not visible, algae and jellyfish were nailed (a red flag hung in the neighboring Radison and Flamenco). There are enough sun loungers, but we arrived no later than 9.00 in the morning, the road is almost inaudible. When the sea calmed down, gorgeous corals opened up and a lot of different fish swam up, we saw stingrays and squids, a lot of things that we had seen earlier in Sharm. Diving with a mask, but on the territory of a chic diving center. Coral gardens go along the entire coast towards Radison and Flamenco, och. interesting (you can look it up on google).
On the beach, they make a chic fresh juice for $ 4. For children, there is a playground and a children's room. There is a gym and a spa. Vacationers - elderly Europeans, Germans, Italians. There are very few young people. For a relaxing holiday. When you order something in restaurants or bars, you have to sign an invoice and pay everything upon check-out. We liked the hotel very much, we will probably come back in order to dive properly.
