It was my first vacation not only in Egypt, but also abroad in general. The hotel rates itself at 4 stars with a plus (aim for 5). I can't give him such a high rating! I liked the hotel, but still it's not 4+.

The tap water is brown, the shower is tiny, the air conditioner is old, the furniture is old, the animation is generally unremarkable (I saw something by the pool, it only annoyed me), a taxi from the hotel is expensive, in a bank in a hotel there are rarely small banknotes on exchange, annoying staff (especially the suitcase driver, as soon as he saw the money he immediately began to cheat, I threatened to talk to his manager, he disappeared later), there is no entertainment (I didn’t see them, well, there was something like beach volleyball, I didn’t play tennis found catamarans too). Labyrinths, in the early days we got confused there (on the territory of the hotel)! Juices there - divorced type Yupi. It seems from the minuses so far everything.


Pros. Hotel in oriental style. There is a warm pool.
In general, the food in restaurants is good. I liked the Grill restaurant more, we somehow didn’t really like the Italian one. There are bars. Free billiards. Sea nearby! Sandy bottom! Full of beds! On the territory of the hotel everything is green, many flowers! Even cats walk : ). Every day, two friendly Arabs (not annoying! ) clean your room, and in front of you they make masterpieces in the form of swans, hearts, etc. ))) You can order pizza near the warm pool, there are drinks and ice cream near the cold pool . Basically, you won't go hungry. Even if you don’t get to lunch (we often had this), you can eat at the grill bar on the seashore (although the food is not very good there, the choice is small).

You can tip, you can not tip, as you wish! Due to the tiles and cool walls in the summer, I think it will be cool in the room, which is a plus. Towels are provided in the room, but they are not large (2 pieces).
On the beach or by the pool, striped large towels are issued on a card : )!

I recommend visiting (for a fee) Tiger Gym - massage, I liked the massage. I did not like the Jacuzzi (just warm water and a little bit of bun). They say that the hotel has the best coral reef and a lot of fish, I didn’t see it, I really regret it : (. There is a local disco, but we have never been there. They say that Calypso is a good disco. In general, in general, the hotel I liked it. I would like the staff to speak Russian, although the practice of English is of course a good thing! Keep all valuables in a safe at the reception. Although, Thank God no one was rummaging around in our room.

For all excursions, take your insurance and all documents with you! If you do not know the elementary basics of English, do not even go on excursions (God forbid, if an accident). By the way, the hotel staff does not speak Russian at all!

And in the city center there are many Russian-speaking sellers! From excursions, on ATVs, be careful, do not drive, listen to the instructors, if you feel bad - speak to the instructors IMMEDIATELY! There was a bad incident! It is absolutely safe to ride if: - everything is OK with your health (no epilepsy, etc. ) and if the ATV is in good condition (before departures, the ATV owner personally checks each car, by the way, a good person! ). Please don't be stingy with money for the Bedouins, at least a little bit, but let them buy medicines with this money. Say hello to Hani - (owner of quads) from Irina and Anya from Moscow : ).

Do not eat outside the hotel. Take iodine and brilliant green in the first-aid kit, they don’t exist in Egypt, we didn’t find them. I hope you don't need medication. Don't get hung up on the little things. Take care of yourself. Good luck to everyone and have a good rest! There will be serious questions, write, maybe I can help with something. Irina (Iren) Moscow
