Pros of the hotel: large area, huge beach, several restaurants water slides for both adults and 4 children, in all pools on duty lifeguards, wi fi - free, normal beer, staff except the reception - a friendly, long metal "pier" boarded up leads to the open sea where you can swim with a mask, coral, fish, etc. , walking on this deck there are several places where you can feed the fish (boiled eggs and meat), the water is clear, so everything is very visible, lagoon for swimming children / adults, close - across the road from the hotel and 300 meters to walk - a bunch of shops, the hotel rested many Arabs, from the pier by the way you can easily fish in the woods with a hook.
Cons: too large an area, food as everywhere in Egypt is cheap, receptionists - as dumb, unfriendly.
The owners of this hotel keep the hotel purely for money laundering / money laundering, so they don't care what they do)) but the rooms are normal, the air conditioners are working, they cleaned us every day, you don't even go to a la carte restaurants - they give exactly the same restaurant, the difference - the table is set as a serving of 12 dishes, a hundred utensils, glasses, but wine from plastic bottles)) serve one main course, maximum plus soup in a bowl 75 grams, and 80 grams of salad)))

It is better not to eat fish given at the hotel - to bring from China.
Your own vegetables.
Fruit was given to us very poorly.
In Egypt, the crisis is not Russians who made up 90% of tourists, a bunch of closed shops and hotels.
Many Belarusians, Poles, Serbs, Czechs.
There is an aqua center on the territory of the hotel near the beach, where a kind of black Nubian works. can cook, I do not guarantee 1000%, but saw it with my own eyes.
Be sure to bring a mask, flippers, and fishing rod if you are a fisherman - there are enough corals, and there are a lot of different fish, you will even need a submarine gun.
I advise you not to take excursions from the tour operator from which you came - to meet at the hotel usually come super-duper balabol who will tell you such tales will be one, if not - 20 dollars lower.
He told our friends in another hotel one thing, us - that we were lucky because the company had a birthday, and we were lucky in the form of discounts, but only today, because it's a promotion, and tomorrow there will be no promotion, but the hotel is still cheaper but most importantly - better.
For example, a tour of the sea with arrival on the island was a divorce: gathered a large group of several hotels, brought to the island where swimming was impossible because the knee-deep about 1 km from shore, and it was lunch, we sat there for an hour, then sailed to another place where they dived near corals, then gave a couple of reels with hooks, calling it a fisherman, rolled once on a banana and a tablet of Thai all over. And riding one boat, to which in turn clung a banana / pill from one yacht, then from another. We stood stupidly in the sea for 2 hours, waiting for about 100 people to ride. It looked very stupid. $ 40
The main argument why excursions should be taken from him a guide from a travel agency.
He is not responsible for you in any case, for this you have insurance and if you overheat in the sun in one or another excursion and you need to see a doctor, you will still need to call not a guide but an insurance company.

All excursions must be attended by a "professional" photographer, also known as a videographer - if you do not intend to buy discs with photos and videos for 20-25 zeoenyh, I advise you to tell about it right away.
Would I go to this hotel again? Of course, when you already know where to swim, dive, where to go and where not to go, where cool corals and fish, where there is a parachute, where you can fish or ride a boat - this is a big plus.
Feeding in all hotels is now about the same, so there is nothing to worry about.
