Here is another hotel I can rate. Rested with his wife 4-14.04. 2012. Overall impression: a decent hotel! I recommend holidays for families with children and couples (families without children), who are no longer very interested in youth parties. I'll try in order.
The territory is medium in size, most of which is occupied by a huge pool with islands, peninsulas, bridges, very beautifully decorated with greenery and flowers. An evening walk at a leisurely pace around the entire territory will take 20-30 minutes. Very beautiful architecture of the buildings, which form a single ensemble in the shape of a horseshoe, encircling the entire pool and the open part directed to the sea. Along all sides of the pool there are sunbeds with umbrellas (one for each pair of sunbeds). The beds can be moved. In the morning, the staff themselves transfer them as you ask. There are always free ones. Never borrowed in the morning and always found free. Out of habit, for some reason, people still try to run early and throw in the towel. Moreover, not only Russians do this, but also Germans and French (this is what I personally observed). Perhaps there is a certain shortage of sun loungers only directly near the children's pool (just right on the side).
As for the beach, you can be capricious. As elsewhere in Hurghada, 150 meters is very shallow. In the presence of a wave, the water is cloudy (sand) near the shore, and then it is already transparent. There is a pontoon, at the end of which there is a wide platform (about 25*25 meters) with plastic deck chairs and an impromptu pool in the center. On the shore there are standard wooden sunbeds with mattresses and umbrellas, always in sufficient quantity. Near the beginning of the pontoon, the guys learn to ride on boards with a sail (windsurfing) $ 10 for 30 minutes.

The rooms are standard. Two single beds or one double, LCD TV on the wall (40-42 inches), wardrobes, safe (free of charge), minibar with drinks (free of charge), telephone, soft stool, soft small sofa, bedside table (or two). The bathroom has a shower without a curtain, a toilet, a sink with a countertop. Bath and facial towels, foot mats are changed every day, beach towels on request, but not more than 1 time per day. As usual, some shampoos, gels and conditioners. On the balcony there is a plastic table with an ashtray and two plastic chairs. There is a clothesline (one) along the side wall of the balcony. There are no clothespins. There are also no bathrobes or slippers. Floor - tile, carpet on top. Everything worked properly. The air conditioner is quite powerful, not very loud. Turned off when leaving, turned on when coming. After 5-7 min. it's already cold.
The staff is mostly friendly. I did not notice any discrimination in relation to nationality. For those who complain, I want to note that the hotel is German, it was built by the Germans and for the Germans. Service for 5 stars corresponds. This also applies to cleaning and bartenders and waiters in restaurants. If you smile, they will do anything for you that you ask. I'm not talking about the dollar, best friend and brother. Yes, there are several people from the staff who demonstratively have a negative attitude towards the Russians. Exit: raise and lower your hand.
Nutrition. It has been announced many times already. My personal opinion is better than average. 6 restaurants. Breakfast is basically the same. Lunch and dinner can be like, choose. Something is constantly fried on coals: fish, chicken, shish kebab (I didn’t like it), quails, etc. Shrimp only fried. In between, you can always have a bite to eat in bars and cafes. The cafe near the children's pool is very, very tasty beef stew. As for alcohol: I didn’t like whiskey, I haven’t tried vodka, cognac is decent, red wine is decent, I haven’t tried white wine, beer is decent. After 24:00 alcohol is paid. Cocktails are delicious only in the bar near the reception, on the second floor. There is also very, very tasty coffee, especially cappuccino. Freshly squeezed juices from 12:00 to 24:00 next to delicious coffee: guava, strawberry, orange, melon, banana with something. Packed mango juice.
Animation. Daytime: bocha, darts, volleyball, football, aqua aerobics, water polo, dancing, aerobics, morning exercises, etc. Evening: programs are repeated every other week. Pretty decent. I especially recommend the Cobra Show. Children's animation for all 100. You can't tear off children. They leave with a scandal. Our friends were with a girl of 5 years. The most terrible punishment is the deprivation of the evening children's disco. For young people - a disco bar in the hotel, every day departure to the Havana Club (Hurghada), transport is free every 30 minutes. roundtrip.

I will not write about excursions. I will answer on request. There were: Jungle water park, 1001 nights from Picalbatros, diving, El Gouna.
Conclusion: We had a great holiday. RECOMMEND.
