I first discovered this hotel for myself in 2020. Then I liked it for its atmosphere, friendliness, European filling of guests (at least our "neighbors") and of course excellent location and wonderful living reef with lots of marine life.
I visited this hotel again much later and accordingly there are both positive and negative moments and changes.
Let's start with the positives of course:
- the hotel has become better in terms of the territory, the quality of the room stock, cleaning, renovations of the buildings, landscaping of the territory, placement of bars, etc. The hotel is really changing for the better, which is immediately felt
- the number of places to relax has been significantly increased, the number of umbrellas and sun loungers, there are enough free places even when the hotel is fully occupied, when you come at 11:00 there are always free places
- the staff is polite, they serve in bars and restaurants without unnecessary questions, extortion of money, etc.

- early check-in if there are free rooms is valid, no additional payments are required
- there are almost no "neighbors" there, maybe a dozen and they behave like mice in holes.
Now about the minuses - they are there. There is almost no fruit, breakfasts are the same every day, but honestly it doesn't get "boring". What was unpleasant for me was that the reef near the hotel is practically dying, the corals are gray, although there are still a lot of fish. It's sad because tourism and ecology are killing the sea. The hotel fenced off most of the reef so that guests don't swim there, that's the solution.
Now about the specifics of the hotel:
- the contingent of guests - 95 percent, I'm not mistaken, from Germany and mostly people of retirement age, the rest are Poles and Balts, accordingly, the atmosphere is of a kind of leisurely rhythm
- water slides, infrastructure for young people and children, discos, music are absent from the word "completely" so young people and couples with children really have nothing to do there
- animation is absent, there are evening programs such as dance shows for half an hour, which are repeated, not interesting

The hotel is good, the service is good, the food is good, although there is almost no fruit, local alcohol, wine and beer are good, the rest is stronger like everything in Egypt, local is of poor quality. When choosing this hotel, take into account the specifics that I indicated above, it may not be suitable for everyone, young people who like active recreation have absolutely nothing to do there
