The hotel was chosen two days before departure, focused on price and good reviews on Turpravda.
Flight - of course does not depend on the hotel but "thank you" Join UP! for a flight delay of 12+ hours (from 4.00 to 16.30), as a result, the full day off was lost. And the plane they provided was ancient Douglas, the whole flight was chattering and it was scary as if nothing had fallen off. Back departure was postponed for 3 hours earlier than scheduled from 7.00 to 4.00, but at least the plane was normal.
1. Settlement. We arrived at the hotel at nine o'clock in the evening. Instead of wearing bracelets and sending people to eat off the road and exhale after the flight, they were forced to stand in line for about an hour before receiving the keys and cards, and the whole line was denied inspection of the room before check-in. "What is" turned out to be a room in a three-storey building overlooking a large water park (noisy during the day, at night the shops on the contrary cut music so that you have to sleep with the doors closed to the balcony), the room was not cleaned after previous guests shoes, dust not wiped, in the refrigerator in an ice container black mold, bed linen not fresh with stains, no chemicals in the bathroom, no towels), safe without key (as it turned out in many rooms safes removed), on the wall picture with broken glass, in the second room (took two rooms) from the air conditioner on the wall ran water and blinds air flow direction was not regulated but it was clean. I had to go back to the reception and explain that it is impossible to meet people like that. As a result, they brought everything they needed to the room, changed the bed, cleaned and asked for $ 2, for which they were put out the door. I also managed to knock out the keys to the safe.

2. Rooms: in our opinion and in the opinion of other vacationers with whom the rooms talked tired, even despite the "repairs" made in some.
3. The territory is a gorgeous, large, well-kept park with a lot of gorgeous plants. Many shortcomings can be forgiven for this park : ).
4. Sea and pools: The sea is transparent, there are animals. The shore itself is an artificial bay with a gentle sandy entrance. On windy days it is better to rest in its northern part, the wind is almost not felt there. The staff on the beach pulls sunbeds mainly for Germans, our people have to pull themselves or give money : ). The sunbeds themselves are already old but still hold. Also, the staff takes better seats in the morning with towels, then for a tip you can get a good place in the shade near the sea. Our people also try to take their places with towels, as a result there are no places on the half-empty beach, as well as the people themselves, the same picture near the pools. The pools are cleaned and chlorinated every day. Near the two of them are good slides, you can ride for fun. There is a children's water park, water to the knees of an adult, you can not worry about the child, plus many hills, waterfalls and fountains to the delight of children. Towels are mostly old, sometimes torn, get a towel after 9.00 is a quest.
5. Food. The food is good, relatively varied, but on the 8th day of rest a little bored. Constantly in the range of fish, chicken, beef in different variations. Delicious side dishes. Lots of vegetables and fruits. Always a good selection of sweets. Grill menus are often prepared. Waiters and cleaners in the restaurant well done! a bit spoiled the impression of suSous-chef (standing in the morning on an omelet and scrambled eggs) very nervous man. The children's menu is weak, every day garnish - pasta ((
A la Carte restaurants are probably worth a visit, the food is a little tastier than usual and the service is good.
In the afternoon by the sea, if you are too lazy to go to a restaurant for lunch, from 12.00 to 17.00 prepare french fries, burgers, pizza.

Ice cream is served in the park area near the amphitheater.
6. Bars: one near the water park, one in the lobby, one in the main restaurant and another next to the main restaurant, near the large pool. Alcohol - local vodka, rum, gin, tequila, whiskey average quality, not particularly consumed but with one cocktail you will not die))), good bottle beer, cola, fanta, sprite, tonic bottled, "juices" like yuppie, drank a lot but not poisoned : ). The dishes in the bar were plastic in the first days, many Germans settled on the fourth day, and glass glasses appeared at once. Younger bartenders in red vests, all the guys are cheerful, it's nice to order, older guys in white shirts obviously can not afford it.
7. Animation is weak.
As a result: a vacation for two adults for 10 nights cost $ 750. For a large sum I would not go to this hotel. And in principle, for the second time probably we will not consider it anymore. Otherwise, a normal budget Egypt.
