Impressions about the hotel:
1. The territory is small, but beautiful, clean (the Arabs are trying). In the evenings, ants are poisoned, so it smells smoky and smells, somewhere within 30 minutes - 1 hour. They also save on water, so all plants are watered with sewage, it also smells unpleasant in the morning.
2. The pool is large, but half of it is up to 75 cm deep. - more suitable for children, the second half is deeper - for adults, but does not hide. There is also a very small pool for children. At 5 o'clock in the evenings, the walls of the pools are already rubbed with mops, it’s unpleasant to swim (but the children want to), but black mud is constantly found at the bottom (the bottom is not cleaned). There are enough sun loungers, although there will still be people from Aladdin and jasmine by the pool.

3. Food - I liked it very much. Chicken, meat, fish (some without bones), pizza, ice cream, a variety of pastries, delicious coffee, vegetables, spaghetti, pancakes - this is every day. They also gave crabs, squids, mussels, camel liver barbecue (my husband liked it, I didn’t risk it). From fruits - green melons, grapes, guava (did not like), oranges, sometimes bananas, apples. My 6-year-old daughter ate well, although the eater is still the same. There are not enough tables in restaurants, you need to come either to the opening or an hour later. I did not like the fact that there is no tea and coffee in restaurants for lunch and dinner, you need to take it from the bar at the reception. Were in the restaurants of Aladdin and Jasmine hotels, the food is the same everywhere.
4. The sea is super. We went to Jasmine Beach. The entrance is sandy, but the buoys have some corals, fish, behind the buoys - more. I saw a stingray, a friend an octopus, a sticky fish and a dangerous lionfish. At 8 am there are no free sunbeds on this beach.
5. The room is good, spacious, bright, they asked for the 2nd floor ($ 15), so that there were fewer ants, but they still ran (and they are gigantic). There were mosquitoes, our fumitox did not help. A gecko was running on the balcony. The room was cleaned every day and towels changed. 3 bottles of water in the room daily.
6. Service is not very good. Everything is primarily for the Germans, and tables in restaurants are occupied for them and wine is served by waiters, and sunbeds on the beach are occupied by beachboys for them. And the Russians themselves run after everything.
7. Excursions - we went from the tour operator, because with a child (the locals were afraid to take it). Tobia Island (adult $45) - don't like it, don't go, it's a sandy island with a crowd of people, horror. I liked diving with a mask in the open sea near the corals, watching the fish. But we didn’t see any special ones, the fish are the same as in the sea near the hotel (of course, you need to swim away). We went to Luxor (adults 75 dollars), liked it very much (ancient temples, columns, statues), although it was hot 45g, the child endured the excursion well. Next time we will definitely visit Cairo. Titanic Water Park - tickets are free from the hotel, go if you don't even like slides very much. Impressions are super-duper both for adults and for children (everyone rode, both old and small).
8. Souvenirs were bought in front of the hotel in the Cleopatra Bazaar with fixed prices.
Conclusion: the holiday was a success, but if you want to save money, go to Jasmine (in my opinion, the difference is only in the rooms), and the price is an order of magnitude lower.
