Number:
We arrived at about 10 am, fed and settled in the room at no extra charge. The room was on the second floor in the building to the left of the main entrance. The room is clean, bathroom without mold, air conditioning worked, cleaning every day. There is a small safe with a combination lock. In gratitude, they left $ 1 on the bedside table.
Territory:
The territory is quite large, from our wing to the pier (the farthest point of the hotel) stomp for 10-15 minutes. The lawn is well maintained and watered every evening. Several pools with a depth of 0.5 to 1.5 m. Dates grow, although they are not yet ripe in June : )
Food:
They fed very well - meat, seafood, fruits and sweets - everything was in abundance. On the beach and near the pools there are mini food courts where you can eat hot dogs / pizza /... and drink. Of the minuses - locally produced alcohol, it is better to grab your own from home.

Tours:

After googling, we found the contacts of local guides. They took it on a yacht to the "paradise" island (Giftun Island), $ 15 per person, they took it by taxi and brought it back. There were 2 stops along the way near the coral reefs, subjectively there are more various fish near the hotel and there are no yachts? . The beach itself on the island is really beautiful, with white sand. In general, I recommend!
The second excursion was on ATVs + bugs and a trip to the Bedouins. Again ordered from a local guide, the price is $ 15 per person, they were taken by taxi and brought back. We rode quad bikes for about 30 minutes instead of the promised hour, with a column. It was possible to lag behind a little and step on the gas. The bugs were given out by 4-seaters, two more tourists were added to us, respectively, we went in turn. 8-10 people were taken to the Bedouins in jeeps, the drive was ~25-30 minutes one way. If possible, sit next to the driver, a better view and not so hot. The Bedouin settlements are a tent in the middle of the desert and a tortured camel, on which those wishing to take a photo were planted. Draw your own conclusions about this tour.
Sea:
It is best to swim near the pier. Near the stairs at low tide ~ 1.5m, further deep enough. The bottom is sandy, the reef runs along the coastline. Right next to the stairs of the pier there are many different fish. They came early in the morning, sailed 20-30 meters away - they saw a manta ray and a huge stingray more than a meter in diameter. On the left side near the abandoned pier (~500 meters) there were flocks of small rays with blue spots + turtles along the way.
Summing up the above - the hotel is fully consistent with 4 stars, I recommend it!
