Returned October 1st. What can I say about the hotel: the territory is clean, well-groomed, without foreign smells, the grass is dry in some places on the lawns, although they are watered every day. Newly renovated rooms, furniture, high-quality plumbing, it is better to bring a hairdryer from home, especially for dyed blondes, it is very bad, it fluffs a lot, it buzzes a lot, in general, horror. The rooms were cleaned daily, although shampoo and shower gel were put only 2 times, maybe because there were a lot of personal cosmetics. In our building, the cleaning was very high quality, someone from another building complained that the cleaning was bad. Figurines were made only when a tip was left. Ants were brought with flowers, I put them outside the balcony. The food is very good, meats and desserts are especially tasty. They didn’t drink local alcohol, only beer, I really liked it, because it’s light and not bitter. Cheap hookah, only $4, good ice cream (just not mango), snacks in bars leave much to be desired, coffee is very average, tea is even worse, there were often seafood, a lot of pasta, a large selection of salads (plants), which I really liked , very tasty grill (vegetables, meat, it doesn't matter). The pool is large, it doesn’t smell of chlorine, the water is warm from the sun, you can play different games, which we did in the pool, it’s very cool in aqua aerobics, it just depends on who conducts it, we were a company, we had fun. Beach: not very big, grandmothers, who are constantly occupied by sunbeds in this hotel, and they leave something in the evening, there may be no one all day, and there will be some kind of rubbish on the sunbeds, just there was not enough evil all the time. The entrance to the sea is safe, you don’t need slippers, but there’s nothing to see, it’s 15 meters to swim to the coral reef, but you won’t see much either. Just behind the beach of the hotel is a small dump. By the way, grandmothers create queues and fights in the restaurant, it’s better not to stand in their way, they will sweep away, there are a lot of Russians in the hotel, a few Ukrainians, Belarusians and Germans, the latter are drunk all the time, but not violent, the Russians also didn’t rage much, so, on trifles, then hitting your young lady in the face in a bar, then pouring someone over, then pushing, but nothing serious. The hotel guide is normal, but it is difficult to solve any problem through him, he always has nothing to do with it. There is very little entertainment, more for children, excellent animators. We had fun, because we formed a very cheerful company.
Do not take sea excursions from the tour operator, it is better on the beach from the hotel, much more interesting and cheaper. We went on excursions from a tour operator to the desert to the Bedouins (jeeps, karts, quadrics) and to the sea. Our friends took a boat trip on the hotel beach, they loved it, we don't, it's not about the sea, the sea is fabulous. Shops on site are very expensive, it is better to buy everything in Hurghada, the city is very close to the hotel, a taxi costs $ 4-5 one way. But in the city, you also need to know where to go, it’s better to go to stores with fixed prices, they don’t overestimate them, but we haggled a little there, if it’s a trifle, then they drop it. In general, we were satisfied with the rest, but we had a lot of fun, because we met wonderful guys. In general, next time it will be renting an apartment, and much cheaper.
