Was 10 days with a child of 2.5 years. I really liked the hotel itself, really convenient for families with children - there are children. playground, high chairs in restaurants, heated pools, gently sloping entrance to the pools, large figures of cartoon characters, life-sized cows on the lawns - you can’t drag the kids away, children’s disco in the nearby Aqua Blue every day. The territory is clean, well-groomed, the rooms too, the water is hot without interruption, the staff is nothing like for Egypt. They love children, joke with them : ). The sea was warm. The food is varied, you are sure to find something to your liking. There are no juices, only yupi, sometimes she gave the child diluted 1:3, and most often tea, because after undiluted yupi it was sprinkled immediately.
The bus went to the beach often, no complaints, there were always places. There was also a wave pool, great, but it is for lovers of ice water : ) Three hotels, one territory, very convenient, we went to different pools.
Minuses.

1) Small minuses - you have to carry towels with you to the sea. If Albatros is one hotel chain - is it really impossible to put a booth with towels for second-line hotels by the sea ? ? The towels are huge and heavy. And the lack of safes in the room was also embarrassing. There is at the reception $ 3 per day. In general, if you are nervous leaving money, documents, video equipment in your room or in a bag on the beach, you will have to fork out. The slides in Gardena are bad. You feel every seam, take care of your backs and priests! I've tried everything and still can't get over it : )
2) Minus, because of which I would not go there again.
This is a VERY CROWDED beach. Imagine - on the beach, which was originally designed only for Beach Albatross 1st line - now there are 4 hotels! It seemed to me that there were a couple of thousand vacationers : ). The sun loungers are close to each other, people also randomly turn them towards the sun, as a result it is difficult to get to the shore : ) You have to squeeze through, sometimes step over... Second - there are not enough sunbeds . . People lie down directly on towels in 2 rows near the sea line! ! I have never seen anything like this in Egypt. . On the first day I came to the sea at 9 am, there were no places near the sandy lagoon where it was convenient with a child. Neither in the 1st, nor in the 2nd, nor in the 3rd row of sunbeds, nowhere . . We searched . . I had to lie down on this concrete, sprinkled with ground gravel . . After half an hour, there were people on towels everywhere around me, literally 20 cm! The child ran between all these towels, teeming with lying and standing people, sand castles - and I lost sight of her. Gone for lunch, so uncomfortable. In general, if you want to relax quietly and relaxed under the surf, lying on a sunbed near the shore and calmly watching a child dig in the sand by the sea, you won’t wait . . In the outstretched arm zone, someone will loudly broadcast on the phone how he was deceived during check-in , and on the other hand, they will bargain about braiding : )) Probably, hotels spoiled me, where there are several meters between sunbeds . .
The sea is warm, but there is nothing to see in it. At the bottom there is construction debris, bags, concrete blocks, ropes, tires. Surprisingly, there are sea urchins. Few fish, all gray. It was funny to hear rave reviews about how the fish are teeming and how beautiful - spoiled by Charm : ). There are no descents into the sea from the concrete piers on the sides of the lagoon, except for one staircase on the left pier. And so on the sides of the piers, concrete blocks, sharp stones are piled up, garbage is often visible between them : ( I wasn’t on the right pier, they drove Vista from there - they say, your places are on the left on the beach . .

Yes, and more. large boats park in the lagoon. . .
In short, she took the child to swim in the sea, but we were on it 5 times out of 10 days, we went after dinner, then places appeared . .
Aqua Vista itself, I repeat - an excellent hotel for 4 * in Egypt, as soon as they make a normal beach, I will go again : )
