The hotel is located 20 minutes from the airport, but outside of Hurghada. There are no shopping arcades as such, souvenirs are sold at the nearby Festival Hotel.
The hotel is new and it shows. Everything is new, it works, it didn’t leak anywhere, though in the evenings, and even during the day, the electricity was turned off. The hotel is beautiful, made in Egyptian flavor. Elevators always worked, I did not observe any special workload in them. There is a hairdryer in the room (but it's better to bring your own), air conditioning, a free mini-bar, TV with 3 RF channels, an electric kettle with mugs, the brightness of the light was not enough for reading. Cleaning of the rooms daily, within the norm. Towels were changed - if you throw them on the bathroom floor. The attendants are responsive people, but sometimes there were those who did not even try to hide their obvious dissatisfaction with something incomprehensible. The hotel pool is spacious, next to the shower. For small children there is a separate small pool. In the evening, a lot of bleach is thrown into the pool . . I didn’t swim in it - the sea is nearby.
The food is varied and always available, no need to run to the beginning of the meal. For breakfast - croissants, egg dishes, pastries, cheese, sausage, jams. For lunch - fish, chicken, beef, liver (fish was a must, and often chicken and meat, or chicken and liver), side dishes - pasta, potatoes, beans, peas. Soups are so-so, from vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers, lettuce, peppers. I missed green onions and dill, but I understood that I was in the desert. Dinner is almost the same as lunch. Delicious sweets for lunch and dinner. Wednesdays - Chinese dinner. Prepared by Chinese chefs. Fruits included watermelon, melon, dates, oranges, apples and grapefruits. As for drinks, I can note brewed coffee in the lobby bar and juice-nectars from packages. The rest, such as beer and wine, I did not like. The people took both vodka and rum, but in such a heat one must have excellent health. Ice cream was served at the pool bar at lunchtime. And, of course, hot dogs and french fries on the beach. I haven't tried it, but people actively consumed it.

The main restaurant is large enough, there was always enough space. The minus of this hotel is the dishes, mostly chipped. For tourists with small children - there were high chairs.
The beach is clean, there are a lot of sunbeds, enough for everyone. There is a place to play volleyball. The sea is clean. To an acceptable depth, you need to walk 300 m along the pier. From the pier we saw a stingray, crabs, small fish. We swam with a mask - we saw squid and more fish.
A bar on the beach without an awning, the water is warm, cold juices from packages and beer. Alcohol is also on the street - probably warm. But people are actively consuming it.
On the day of arrival, I went to the hammam. Of course, this is not a Turkish hammam, but it relaxes after a flight and everyday work.
The animation is weak, I will not emphasize.
The hotel is definitely more family friendly. Students will be bored.
I wish you all a good rest, drink water and brush your teeth with bottled water and your rest will not be overshadowed by some troubles.
I recommend the sea trip. I really liked the fish in the depths!
