We went to Egypt at the end of September, actually we went to Albatros Aqua Vista, but upon arrival we were told that there were no places and offered to move there, we didn’t want to quarrel and swear, and we agreed, later we learned that many tourists did so. The hotel is not on the second line from the sea, but rather on the third, IMHO far from the sea, I won’t go to the second line anymore, living by the sea is much, much more pleasant (in Egypt, the 2nd time there is something to compare).
I will briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages:
1. large-beautiful territory with a bunch of pools;
2. Water park
3. A bunch of bars-restaurants
4. Good animation
5. Large two-room suites
6. Polite staff
in principle, they wrote a lot about the merits in other reviews, I will focus on the shortcomings:
1. From the height of the water park, you can see the garbage dump, which is next to the hotel, when the wind blows from that side, an unpleasant smell appears.

2. we lived in 5069, this is on the border of our hotel and the leila, and so there was a stable and the smell was appropriate from time to time (but we went to the leila for the evening animation of the fantan show and horse racing - I liked it).
3. the sea is quite strange, i. e. it’s deep near the coast, there is a spit along which if you walk 50 meters, then a shallow begins, that’s where the sea is awesome, transparent and something, near the coast, IMHO, it’s somehow muddy.
4. Buses to the beach did not always go regularly and people were packed there - well, what an extreme in general.
5. There are a lot of small children and even very small ones who rush around the dining room, in the morning the eternal children's crying - it pissed me off in order, a lot of children even in strollers (I don’t understand how such small children can be carried with you).
In general, I liked the rest, but I would not go to this hotel anymore, only the first line and in another part of Hurghada, where the sea is much better. There are no complaints about the service and maintenance at the hotel, everything is fine.
If anyone is interested, please ask.
