We rested together, got a good price for the tour, we had not been to this hotel before, we decided to try it. Stayed 6 nights, not much, but it was enough.
We booked the standard in the main building, thanks to the reviews we realized that we don’t want the building across the road. So, they didn’t settle us right away, they hesitated, apparently they wanted money, but in the end they settled us without additional payments, the room is quite decent, if you don’t find fault, then it will do for an overnight stay. Cleaning is superficial, a present was left a couple of times, a figure from towels (a heart) appeared.
A very beautiful area, a lot of flowering plants and shrubs, it is, as it were, common with the neighboring Le Jardin, there is where to walk, it’s not particularly interesting behind the hotel, the way out is by taxi to the center or excursions, which we did. A mini zoo, a children's pool with small animal slides, there is a water park, it is open for a couple of hours before lunch and after, a lot of people, especially local ones, but several times they still rolled down the slides, it was necessary to put a tick). In the pool they swam only one, where local women in burkinis are not allowed (you can only wear bikinis))), but the pool is not particularly interesting, they only went to the beach.

The sea in this area is not very shallow and the bottom is bad. Corals came in handy, the legs remained intact. Children only in coral shoes! From the pontoon you can get to the depths, in general, it seems to be nothing, but we saw the sea in Hurghada and better... But everything was leveled by trips to sea excursions, I didn’t want to go to Luxor in the heat, but the yacht is just right. We were on Orange Bay and fishing, on Utopia and Paradise we used to be, cool, a Russian-speaking team, it was fun, with dancing, lunch, just a sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ positive emotions. Of the tourists there were both Germans and Poles, everyone communicated, there were no language barriers. We don’t go to meetings with the guide, it’s a pity for our rest time, especially since we take trips from locals.
Well, food. Well, here it’s like someone, in general it’s not bad, but for the most part it’s the same, especially desserts. Of the normal only Egyptian nat. sweets, biscuits with multi-colored cream did not want to try. Meat dishes at least 3-4 at a time, quite enough, soups are not very good, but the rest are side dishes, stews and raw vegetables like everywhere else. The beer is ok, haven't tried anything else. In general, there is food, we only went to “our” restaurant, for Europeans. Maybe in general with the Arabs there is more and better choice, but nerves are more expensive)
They did not take part in the animation, not our topic. The card was bought at the Orange airport, it was enough, the connection is good.
In general, we had a good rest, but we will not repeat this hotel, for once. Thanks to the staff, you have no complaints...
