We went to Egypt for the first time, and even with a child of 2 years. To be honest, I didn't intend to. I just took the money and went to the agency. We chose what we had enough money for. We chose Al Mas Palace (part of the Golden Five complex). Early departure (5 am in Kiev), the same early arrival (check-in only at 14.00). $20 at the reception and English that is pleasant to their hearing, and after 20 minutes we are in a room overlooking the sea, pool, slides and other entertainment (for comparison, we went to dinner, and the people who flew in with us were still waiting for the room). From the floor where the room is located, there is a direct transition to the main restaurant. On the other side, access to the beach. The room is small, the hotel is old, but clean and tidy. Since I belong to the category of people who are not whimsical, we had enough. A wonderful guy Akhmet cleaned our place, so I thank him from the bottom of my heart. The child still remembers him, and he proudly shows everyone the souvenir that he gave us before leaving.
Pros: close to the sea, swimming pool; the entrance to the sea is sloping and clean; excellent animation (the guys tried very hard); well-groomed huge territory; I didn’t think about food for the child for a day; you can use all the bars and restaurants of the entire complex.
Minus: the hotel is old (not all rooms are good); abandoned bungalows in places; to the main entertainment to go far; the kids club was closed;

In fact - a vacation for the not very rich, moderately fastidious and like us, with small children....
I HIGHLY ADVISE: if possible, visit the Starfish restaurant (when you exit the pyramid, that is, the main exit of the entire Golden Five complex, to the left and 500 meters. You will see a sign). Soup with seafood and grilled shrimp, you can just gobble it up with your fingers : )
Have a good rest everyone.
