I rested in May in Desert Rose 5 * with two children 5 and 12 years old. The lagoon is not artificial - large and real, only the nets are stretched from marine life. The beach along the lagoon is large and smaller along the sea. Wooden sun loungers 2-4 pieces each with awnings are placed at a distance of up to 5 meters from each other! Own space for my taste is a big advantage. If you come to the beach at rush hour, then you have to walk with your legs and look for a free canopy. We have been busy since morning. For sleepyheads, this is of course a problem. Canopies really could be made more not only on the beach, but also on the territory. Little shade. We did not leave money for cleaning the room, we were satisfied with the quality of cleaning. Towels were changed daily. Beer on the beach was really poured into disposable glasses, but in the bars around and in the pools only in plexiglass glasses. As for the food lines. The genetic predisposition of a Slavic person (Russians, Ukrainians and Poles mostly rested in the hotel) to queues. Three meters from the queue is the same tray with the same food and not a single person nearby! An interesting psychological phenomenon of collectivism turns out... There was a lot of food - it was a pity there was time to review all the dishes. Paradise for vegetarians and sweet tooth. Cakes are a meal. Fruits: every day melon, oranges, fresh dates and local berries, very tasty (I don’t know the names). Twice there were watermelons and grapefruits. Meat dishes are less tasty. Beef was eaten only in the form of grilled sausages. I liked squid pancakes, fried liver, baked fish. I have never seen a vacationer not get food. True, a few minutes before the end, the waiters abruptly begin to clear the tables. For example, breakfast starts at 7 and ends at 10. So, 9.50 h. not worth coming. For real lovers of meat dishes, I recommend visiting a Bedouin party. It takes place on Mondays at the beach. 5 types of mangal meat for dancing and dancing. Children are free. This is all a remark about the speech of the previous speaker who had a rest in Desert Rose.
Why is no one posting about mosquitoes? Dear vacationers, do not open the balconies in the evening - mosquitoes can eat if there is no wind and you do not live in a bungalow near the sea.
The strongest impression is the stunning coral reef stretching along the entire beach. An amazing variety of animals! And what beautiful yellow-blue slopes! Parrot fish, surgeons. Equipment can be bought at the shop on site. $9 snorkel and $6 slippers. There is nothing to do in the reefs without slippers or flippers: a lot of hedgehogs, fish with sharp fins, you can cut yourself on corals.

Swimming in the reefs is good on a windless, sunny day, and when the wind is in the lagoon, it is an ideal place for windsurfing. My son got on the board for the first time, he is not fond of sports. I was worried, but everything went with a bang - he was delighted. Professional trainer. For 3 lessons (3 hours) paid $70
I would recommend this hotel for families with children of all ages. Someone is swarming by the lagoon or by the pools, someone in the sea gets their portion of pleasure. The hotel has its own diving, boats... I recommend going to the Titanic water park (1 adult + child $ 40 for the whole day). The walk will take 15-25 minutes. You can book a tour for the same price. It took us 3 hours. Most of all I liked rafting - an artificial wave, paddle boats... a lot of fun.
If you are not a fan of long and nervous bargaining, I recommend buying souvenirs on the way back at the airport while waiting for boarding: the choice is large, the prices are reasonable and without grabbing hands with screams and lamentations.
I wish you all joyful and sincere rest!
