We rested at the hotel from 24.02-09.03. 12-15 days! We drove from the airport no more than 20 minutes, we were taken alone. We were greeted very kindly at the reception, the manager Inna personally made sure that we liked everything and in less than 10 minutes, without any extra charge, we were taken to our room overlooking the sea. After 10 minutes, they brought the luggage, without demanding any baksheesh, we gave the dollar ourselves. And after 15 years they brought a cake with a letter from the hotel administration (congratulations, we had a wedding anniversary)! Several times during the rest, Inna personally called the room or approached the restaurant and asked if everything was in order with us.
No violent children of the staff and table number 6 were noticed: (there were screaming and ill-mannered children of citizens from Russian-speaking countries who knocked down and screamed like crazy, to which their parents did not take any action! Dear vacationers, if you are taking your children on vacation, please respect other hotel guests around you, and educate your children! )
In order to avoid attacks, I will warn you: we ourselves are the parents of 2 sons of teenagers !!

The service is very high quality and unobtrusive! Everyone tried to smile and say a kind word!
Number: 1208! We got it just wonderful, huge, plasma TV, air conditioning worked for both cooling and heating, there was always hot water, the pressure was excellent, they cleaned it cleanly, linen was changed every 3 days, towels were changed every day. Mohamed the boy from the room service asked several times if we liked everything! Several times we left a dollar each, but this made the cleaning no better but no worse. They asked for a kettle, they brought it in 20 minutes : ), there is a hairdryer, there was always liquid soap in the shower!
Territory: Huge, spacious, sometimes deserted!! ! In general, I guessed the style of the hotel, it is an oasis in the desert, a kind of village of bungalow houses and a central square that houses restaurants, shops, a beauty salon, an Arab cafe where you can smoke a hookah and sit quietly !
People gather in the center, and only in restaurants you can see how many vacationers. But walking along the paths, which by the way change here and there, but this does not interfere, there are no people at all, we enjoyed walking along the flowering paths!
Restaurant: Well, we are not the first time in Egypt, the food is certainly not bad, sometimes there was not enough grill and a variety of fruits (there were always oranges, sometimes dates and bananas, grapefruits in the morning), always cut, because our compatriots would fill their pockets!
And in general, the people sometimes behaved uncivilized, I was glad that there were few of them, they collected full plates of meat, meatballs, did not eat up and sent the children back with full plates, and then someone did not have enough of the same meat.........
But you are unlikely to die of hunger!! ! There was also meat: chicken, beef and fish, potatoes, pasta, salads and olives, greens and so on. Alcohol is like everywhere else in Egypt - the wine is terrible, the beer is good, the cocktails are normal. The sweets and pastries are simply divine, I risked gaining weight !!!: )

In the lobby bar in the evenings, visiting singers sang well under the minus, you can sit after dinner, drink cocktails.....
Animation Entertainment We didn't need it, but during the day the guys seemed to gather people for volleyball, darts and bocha. Near the pool, exercises, step aerobics, and belly dancing were carried out, we were only once because I like to listen to the sea on the beach and not loud music. In the evenings, various artists came, I really liked the girl who danced belly dances, just wonderful!! ! the corresponding one! People just can't be bouncy for 3 hours under R&B or DJ coblas, by the way, DJ Mario is a very cool guy, but still music makes the mood !!!
Before our departure, the disco building was dismantled and there will now be a spa! And the disco will now be in a new building in a fish restaurant that will already be open from June, they say there will even be sushi : )
All animators are very polite and correct! The only thing I agree with the reviews about the animator is Marina, she poked right away, behaved a little impudently, although I’m 10 years older than her, but I’m fine, but when she started poking women over 60, it outraged me of course.....
Beach: WELL, the beach is there, of course, at 100 !! ! I was very pleased that you can find a quiet place, in the first week of rest there were more Germans, Poles and English, it was calm !! ! and then, closer to March 8, tourists from Belarus, Ukraine and our Tagil arrived, and peace began to be disturbed at times!
It is written in all languages ​ ​ at the entrance to the pier that you can’t feed the fish, no, ours are fed with huge rolls, and for the sake of a moment of fun they kill the fish : (
In short, if the citizens of the vacationers were brought up and followed the norms of behavior, then the rest on the beach would be a great success! But, as I said, the beach is just huge, you can still find a quiet corner! There is a bar on the beach where you can drink and grab a bite to eat if you don't want to go to lunch like us! And we dived, snorkeled, swam, listened to the sea and sunbathed....

There are 3 beaches, there is a nudik, 2 lagoons, there is also a wild beach, a stingray lives on it, but it is not cleaned, and everything that the sea takes out, all the garbage from the yachts remains on the sand, but you can ride ATVs on it!
On the beach there is a diving center, rental of masks, fins, etc. windsurfing, glass bottom boat and catamarans!
You can also ride horses and the camel Maksimka lives there : ), in short, there is enough entertainment on the beach, but there is also space : )
Sea: The reef, the farther into the sea, the more beautiful it is, on the first day we swam on the first reef and were a little upset, but then, further, beyond the 3rd reef, all the beauty opens there, a sheer coral reef, schools of colorful fish, stingrays , jellyfish, several species, etc. in short, words cannot describe!
The only thing that upset me was that a pier was being built to the side, there would be a pier for boats and a bunch of cafes on it...., sometimes the noise of working equipment came and I think the corals were not very good from this either....but it didn’t bother.
There are always free sun loungers, their condition is average, the towels are clean, very good and big!
There was no theft in the hotel: we left our wetsuits and masks on deck chairs, went for a walk on a wild beach and a bar, everything remained in place!
Bottom line: The hotel is perfect for couples, for a honeymoon, or if you are tired of the bustle of the city and work, you just need to relax in silence, breathe in the sea, look at the horizons, listen to crickets on the terrace at night, then you are here!
For those who like to hang out, drink and relax loudly, believe me, you are definitely not here, you will be very bored here : )
To all lovers of the sea, horizons and silence!
I highly recommend this hotel! Have a great holiday!
