Just got back from Hurghada. Prior to that, they rested in the economy fives of Turkey and Egypt. In general, the rest was satisfied. Traveled with my daughter (6 years old). We arrived at the hotel at about 11:00 am, settled within half an hour in the Family building (room 627). We liked the room itself, everything worked properly, a large bed + an extra bed in the entrance room for a child, plasma, a large bath. 2 towels per person and 1 cosmetic kit per room - this was a bit surprising because in economy 5x there are always 4-5 towels and cosmetic sets for one per person, by the way, good quality cosmetics.
The hotel area is very large, green and beautiful, many pools, a huge beach - these are pluses! 2 heated swimming pools with sections for children.
From the Family building to the sea, go for 6-8 minutes.

I can recommend this hotel for families with children. There is a real paradise for children: playgrounds, high chairs, ice cream in all bars from 12.00 to 13.00 and from 15.00 to 16.30 without queues, shallow sea near the coast and most importantly a kids club that is open from 9.00 to 21.00. Separately, I want to express to the animators of the children's club, because it was impossible to pick up my daughter from there - they did crafts, face painting, painted, played board games,... she liked everything very, very much!
Of the minuses of the hotel, I can note the food, it is very scarce. The choice of dishes is small. Meat something one (no choice) for lunch and dinner, and then the chef gives a la carte. It was annoying to come up and beg for a portion. I don’t know, maybe in fours there is always such a choice, or is it after the revolution that this is the case in many hotels? But I can say that of all the hotels in which we have been - here is the weakest food. There are few fruits - cut oranges and dates. We are used to the fact that in Egypt there are a lot of olives and various greens (arugula, mint) - this is not the case in this hotel. They didn't stay hungry. Although the choice of dishes is small, everything was delicious cooked.
The sea is shallow near the coast, but for us it was rather a plus, because. we rested with a child. There are lagoons that are deeper. And on the right on the beach there is a pier-pier, where you could dive with a mask, fins and see corals.
We flew from Kyiv from Anex-tour. What I didn't like is that at the airport of Hurghada anex-tour sells visas for 17 dollars. instead of 15. We were ready for this and immediately went to the left to the window and bought 15 dollars. The hotel guide at first made a normal impression, told everything in detail about the hotel, named the place and time of his stay in this hotel, but when my husband wanted to go on an excursion to Luxor, we tried to meet the guide for 2 days (from this we conclude that he is really there it happens much less often than it sounds to tourists).
We recommend the hotel if the tourist goes to relax at the sea, and not look for flaws.
