We rested from 8 to 21 May 2010. Traveled as a family with a 5 year old. I wanted to remember the rest and write a review. It was the second time in Egypt. The first time we were in a good five and we all liked it there. But, how we liked Jungle! In addition, it cost us almost two times cheaper than the first holiday.
We didn't have any problems with accommodation. We were given the number 1049. I did not even expect, having read that the Russians are given numbers only from 2000. We really liked the room! The lawn went straight to the children's water park. It was very convenient to run to the room for any need)
The water park is good. But I can't say it's safe. There are mats by the pools, children run on them and the mats move. Our children were falling. Once even a child fell and hit his head. So, at the pools it is better to be more attentive.
Loved the wave pool. But for some reason they turned it on once a day for 10 minutes.

There are a lot of people. In the evening, at the children's disco, it's not crowded and there's nothing to breathe. But our daughter soon got used to it and, making her way through the crowd of children, also went on stage. And she liked the cartoons, despite the fact that they are in English. There was also a club for children, which we opened for ourselves at the end of the holiday. T-shirts and scarves are painted there. And in the evening at the Tarzan club they are solemnly handed over. It wasn't boring.
About the sea. We have only been there 3 times. It was just very hot. And even on the bus, we were very tired in the heat to go there and then back. But! We swam, and we also liked that there was a shoal on the left and there were many different hermit crabs. It was very interesting to collect them. Probably, without children, such a sea is not very interesting. For our hotel allocated a piece of the beach is not the best. And going into the water, you could get hurt on some pebbles. Therefore, we did not regret that we took water slippers with us. Surprised that people swore at the entry into the sea and the fact that the beach is not so clean. But leaving, left the remnants of food, which immediately flocked to the crows. In general, we didn’t really like going to the sea and lying there in the heat. It was much more convenient to lie by the pools and then quickly reach your room and move away from the heat.
About food. This is where I was pleasantly surprised. I'm pretty picky about food. But I really liked everything! I love fish very much. There has always been fish in every form. And on the grill it was fried, baked. And there was stewed fish (it was frozen, but I didn’t eat it. But fresh fish was often served). Once it was made in some kind of salt. A man stood and unwrapped a huge fish wrapped in a huge layer of salt. The taste is simply amazing! I ate fish for a year ahead. As I remember, I immediately want more fish. But the husband was cold to local food. He does not eat fish, and the choice of meat did not impress him very much. As for food for small children, I don't know what to say. But our daughter ate fish with me.
Yes, the hotel is packed to capacity. Our flight back was in the evening, and we wanted to reschedule checkout by a few hours. The reception flatly refused. As a result, there was one person there, he agreed to help us for a fee. But as soon as he began to do something, his partner approached him and began to shout at him. Then he returned the money to us and said apologetically that he could not help us.

To be honest, I'm thinking about which hotel to go to next time and I really want to return to this one. Although it is a little scary that this will spoil the first impression.
