First time in Egypt. But there is something to compare with. I have already traveled to dozens of countries.
Operator - Turtess. Good operator. No complaints. True, they waited at the airport until 5 people arrived for an hour... And they almost left a person on the tour, the guide did not notice that one was missing... And everything is as it should be: uniform, smiles...
Territory - the hotel is located separately outside the city, so fans of hanging out in the city will probably find it boring here. We ourselves usually chose a hotel in the city, but this time we decided to go away from the noise and people. And they didn't regret it. You can get to Hurghada without any problems by minibus (2-3 pounds per person) or by taxi - $ 5 ($ 1 = 5.45 pounds exchanged at the hotel). It is better to go back by taxi, so as not to get lost. There are construction sites nearby, but this did not bother me at all, because everything is being built there everywhere. And behind the walls of the hotel you do not see and do not feel it. The territory is good, there is where to walk, a lot of greenery, two swimming pools (one heated). Everything is very compact and close. No need to spend a lot of time going from the restaurant to the room or to the beach. There are shops, but they are expensive, it is better to buy in Hurghada, or on excursions - in Cairo, Luxor.

The sea is beautiful, blue, clean. Coral nearby. We swam and watched. There are a lot of fish near the pier. Take masks, fins, snorkels. You can also rent. On the territory there is a diving center Aquarius, which offers services: from the rental of equipment (can be piece by piece or as a whole) for swimming to training courses and sea excursions with diving.
Beach - the strip of the beach is not very wide, but long enough. Lots of places. The entrance to the sea is sand. There are piers.
Rooms. Settlement is very fast. The main thing at the reception is to figure out what kind of room they give you. I saw that they give us a number with a triple at the end. And they immediately changed it (because the first one was given without a balcony and with a view of the construction site). We didn't pay anything. Others then had problems with the exchange, some were changed only after 2-3 days, some were never able to change. In principle, it depends on your assertiveness. We immediately got a chic one (I really liked it) - in a bungalow, on the ground floor, with a terrace and access to the central pool. We always sunbathed near our room, next to the animation, the pool. Even the terrace was closed. Super. When the weather is hotter, rooms with access to the sea are good. It’s just that at the beginning of March the sea = 25, and the main life is near the pool, we went to the sea when we wanted to swim and look at the fish, but sunbathed by the pool, it was more fun there: music, animation.
By numbers: not all numbers with triples at the end are bad!! ! Look: I would divide the buildings into 6 buildings:
1st, central, 3-storey building, in the reception building, Laguna Bar, main restaurant - Palm Restaurant. I don't know the numbers.

2nd, left, 2-storey bungalow. For me, this case was the worst. Although numbers with ones are normal here. For example, bungalow 400, there are three rooms and a common entrance hall on the ground floor (I don’t know who needs it... ). The principle of rooms in this building: 401 - on the ground floor, with a terrace, and access to the main pool, garden, sea. 402 - on the second floor with a balcony, the windows are the same as on the first floor. 403 - the worst, without a balcony, go to the construction site (exactly in this building!!! ). Bungalows from 400 (410.420, 430, etc. ) (with windows to the pool and then to the garden) to 650 (with views and access to the sea).
3rd, in the center, 2-storey bungalow. We lived in it (741 rooms). Numbering from 660 to 910. The principle is the same as in the previous one. 6... numbers to the pool, then the garden (our number was almost at the end of the pool), and the final eight hundred and 900.910 - by the sea.
4th, in the center, 3-storey building. 1st floor (150-184) - with a track, but smaller than in a bungalow, overlooking the greenery (starting from 150) and the sea (final 177-184). 2nd floor (250-284) - the principle is the same, only - with a balcony. 3rd floor (350-384) - like the second.
5th, on the right, 3 floors near a small pool. 1st floor - numbers 6115-6124.2nd floor - 6215-6224.3rd floor - 6315-6324.
6th, next to the central, 5-storey. 1st floor - numbers 6101-6114.2nd floor - 6201-6214.3rd floor - 6301-6314.4th floor - 6401-6414.5th floor - 6501-6514.
Now, you can safely decide where it would be better for you to live! ; )
Food and restaurants. Everything is alright. The waiters are very attentive, plates are quickly taken away and drinks are brought quickly. Plenty of food and enough for all tastes. Fish all the time, several types of meat to choose from, side dishes, a lot of vegetables and fruits, various pastries, desserts are also superb, you can always take something new. In a word, if you are not a snob and will not look for the bad in everything, then you will like everything. I hate it when I start talking: monotonous, etc. Take something different every day and it won't be monotonous!! ! There is a choice. At home, you don't really have that choice! And always try the chef's dishes. I really liked the whole roasted young lamb. And in the restaurant, so that vacationers would not get bored, they constantly came up with something interesting: either a romantic dinner by candlelight, or an evening of Egyptian culture (the waiters were dressed in national clothes, dishes of national cuisine... )

Animation is good, the guys will not let you get bored. The team is very good! Always tried. From daytime entertainment: boccia, volleyball, water polo, gymnastics, aqua gymnastics, aerobics, dancing. There is a gym. They have a day off on Thurs.
