I went to rest with my 5-year-old son, just for the sake of the sea. The beach does not belong exclusively to the hotel, it is private and for other visitors the entrance costs 100 pounds. Subscription for six months (entrance, sunbed and towel) 5 thousand. pounds - money for the average Egyptians is unrealistic. So the beach is considered elite, one might say. Purely, pleasant music from the 60s and 70s plays, like Joe Dassin. Massage tours are offered, but delicately, there is no such thing that you are tormented every 10 minutes. There is animation, but it is almost invisible, for me personally this is happiness. There are some exercises, but in the allotted area, no one interferes with anyone.
For a child, in general, it’s super - a smooth entrance to the sea, 10-15 meters from the shore is already an adult with a head, but the entry is very good, I don’t, even the smallest ones have somewhere to hang out. There are always enough sun loungers, there are awnings such as mushrooms and canvas awnings, which vacationers can decompose into a kind of gazebo. The bar is not bad, the glasses are transparent plastic approx. 200 ml. Drinks are poured generously enough for Egypt. They try to pour out beer so that there is a third of a glass of foam, but this is ineradicable, in my opinion, in any hotel. However, in my memory, the beer never ran out, they poured without problems.
By the way, for hygiene reasons, she took her own glass, about 300 ml, to her son. Cola Sprite was poured, there were never any complaints either on the beach, or near the pool, or in the dining room. By the way, in the canteen at lunch and dinner, alcohol is poured the same as in other bars. Not bad, considering that in many hotels you can get hold of only a glass of terrible local wine.

There are no questions about the number, economy, but not bad. Large, everything works in the bathroom, safe, air conditioning, plasma (there’s nothing to watch, you can even turn it off), an orthopedic mattress, normal linen, old furniture, but it doesn’t matter to me, towels were changed every day, and for a 10 pound tip they also twisted swans . I asked for a bed for a child in the evening, otherwise there was a double room, one was brought. Most of the staff are friendly and very welcoming to kids.
A couple of fly in the ointment. We arrived at 7 am, it was a night flight, of course, wildly tired. Check-in at 14:00. We went with the senior porter to the storage room, I promised 40 bucks if I settled now. He beamed, immediately showed the number, they literally just left there, the laundry was lying on the floor, but I didn’t care, to be honest. I immediately put on bracelets, showed the canteen, they say, if you have breakfast, they will clean the room, give you the key. We had breakfast, came, and everyone is freezing. 20 minutes - everything will be. She asked for the key, we will go to the beach, and let them clean themselves. No, it's not allowed.
In short, when 3 times 20 minutes passed, and every time they told me yes, yes, 20 minutes, I had to make a little scandal. Loudly at the counter, she told the whole hall about 40 bucks, and about the fact that you don’t have to promise if you know in advance that it’s unrealistic, and most importantly, she promised here and now to leave such a review that no one else will come to them. And lo and behold, we were given both a key card and a card for towels, if only we disappeared out of sight)))
Conclusion - it is still better to choose a day flight.
Also - in the room there is a folder with the rules, do not be too lazy to read them. I sowed the room key card somewhere. The counter charged me 100 pounds and gave me a duplicate. Later, in the rules, I read that the fine was 50 : ) But given that it was already three bucks, I didn’t bother anymore.
I left money in the safe, everything is intact. On the beach, I left my phone and tablet in my bag, nothing was taken away, thank God.

The food is good. We didn’t go to a la restaurants, the main Hollywood canteen is ugly, the smells are so-so, but you get used to it after three days. Another important thing is that there is a sanitizer hanging near the entrance to the canteen, a spray bottle with disinfection for hands. Highly recommend. Dispensing spoons and spatulas are all common, hundreds of hands grab them at one meal. In order not to spoil your rest with some intestinal disorder, it is better to use it before meals.
In general, the hotel is an honest four. You can go. And yes, it’s better to communicate with the staff in English, the attitude is not at all the same as with Russo-tourists : )
