This is my fourth trip to Egypt. I rested in Hurghada, Sharm and Taba, but in 5 *, so there is something to compare. Thanks to everyone who writes reviews, I hope mine is also useful.
So point by point:
1. Yes, there is construction going on, but it really doesn’t interfere
2. Staff: very polite and friendly
3. Food: everything is fresh, the waiters are polite, yes, it’s not Turkey, sometimes stupid waiters, sometimes there was a flea market, but in other hotels it was really much worse in 5 * (at the Taba Hilton the food was not fresh !!! )

4. Case 4 is terrible. I think that this is the height of impudence to demand the same money for 2-ki 3-ki and 4-ki. We gave $ 20 and they settled us in the 2nd building, but with great displeasure and did not give a room next to friends, even though the hotel was completely empty. Tanya at the reception desk said that even specific rooms can be booked by e-meil without any problems - the question is who should do this, a tourist or a travel agency? My personal recommendation: do not go to 4-ku!! ! Rooms in 2-ke without comment: large, nice terrace, nice view.
5. Territory: large, but continuous desert, greenery only near buildings 2 and 3. There is a long road to the beach under the scorching sun (not for small children and the elderly)
6. The pool is ordinary: not deep and not big, but we were there only on the day of arrival and departure. There have always been places.
7. And now about the sea. The corals are wonderful. But you have to get to them! There are very few fish here! Probably because there are a lot of corals, and they have sailed away to their natural environment, and do not beg for bread from tourists.
I can say that on the whole beach, up to the really beautiful corals (they were better than in the reserve in Sharm), only about 5 people swam. There were good live corals near the shore (in the evenings, an octopus even wandered there), but you can enter the water only from a pontoon. There is a separate beach for children. The sea was quite muddy at times (maybe the construction site really lets you know)
Most of all, I was surprised by the lack of coral sand on the beach and the oldest sunbeds (one person cannot be moved). Beach-boy ran only to the British (by the way, they had red bracelets).
In general, the hotel is a solid 4 * (if building 4, then I don’t even know).
We rested wonderfully. I wish you all a pleasant holiday.
