Were from 18 to 25 January.
The hotel is very good, we liked everything - the location, the food, and the staff. The rooms are quite new, the rooms are cleaned well. Special fiery greetings to the bartender Abdo - he is wonderful : ) We don’t drink, but for the sake of him we just came to the bar to chat for juices and coffee)
We liked the food at the hotel, especially the "jacket", falafels and their national dishes, although there were even borscht and buckwheat to choose from : ) Special thanks to the chef Natalya.
Unless the breakfasts seemed to us a little meager in choice, but to each his own, lunches and dinners fully compensated for this.

The location of the hotel is also cool, I caught their minibus - and after 4-5 minutes already in the center) Minibuses cost 1-1.5 pounds, a taxi is $ 1, but it should be borne in mind that smart taxi drivers sometimes say $ 10 - send these away) We they only took a taxi at night, when they returned late from the city, the rest of the time - their minibuses - the very topic)
I do not recommend taking excursions either from the hotel guide (very expensive), or from the guys on the beach, especially Rico. We deliberately overpaid the money (they knew the prices, this is not the first time we have a rest), but we went to him, because if you take a tour from him, he gives mask-fins for the whole vacation for free, BUT.
Instead of diving, for which we paid 2 times more than it costs, Rico sent us to snorkeling (which was of little interest to us, because the hotel also has a good reef), which we learned already when we were "swimming".
To say what was the strength of disappointment - to say nothing - I have been waiting for two years to return to Egypt, in fact, for the sake of diving. Of course, no one returned the money, but you can’t prove anything.
Note on prices for January 2017 - In the city, in travel agencies, diving costs 10-15 dollars per person, super-safari - 14 dollars / person. On the beach or with a guide at the hotel - $40/person diving, $50/person super-safari.
So feel free to go to the city and negotiate (we personally took Ahmed on the Romashka tour, but this is a personal recommendation, tour companies in the city are a dime a dozen - there is something to choose for yourself : ), in the end you will be almost in the same group with those who bought on the beach or from a hotel guide at exorbitant prices)
In general, the holiday was a success and we are very satisfied! Thanks to the staff of the King-Tut hotel for a great welcome, good food, room and a great stay! will definitely come back)
