We rested at the hotel from October 2 to October 12. Not the first time in Egypt, only 4 times in Hurghada.
1. The hotel is located on the outskirts of Hurghada, 15 km towards El Gouna. There is not a single hotel within a radius of several km. If anyone needs shops, then there are 5 of them. Everyone takes a taxi to the center. This is the first minus of the hotel.
2. the hotel is quite well maintained. Everything is in decent shape, the rooms are small, but without visible signs of old age. The rooms are all the same, with rare exceptions, some without a balcony. The room has one double bed or 2 single beds. Accommodation 2 + 1 for adults is problematic, because the third bed will take up all the free space. Extra bed-baby cot or folding bed. We lived in bungalow 520 Room 522. The bungalow has 1 room on the 1st floor and 2 on the second (one without a balcony). The bungalow has a separate entrance, its own lounge with sofas and a kitchen. Room on the 1st floor has access through the balcony door directly to the pool. The bungalow is convenient for a company, and for lovers of a bar and evening gatherings near the room, I recommend the 1st floor (rooms 521.531 and further). The room was cleaned every day, the bed was changed daily.

3. Sea. Sandy entrance, two piers. Every morning 3 boats leave, but they do not bother. There are not enough beds. By 8 o'clock there is practically no free space. And this is on condition that all things on the sunbeds are removed if there are no towels and the sunbeds are released for others. In the sea near the shore there are many small fish that bite strongly. This is the second minus of the hotel.
4. The food is pretty decent, fish, chicken and beef are a must for lunch and dinner. But the dishes are almost the same every day. This is typical for all hotels. There are few fruits, melons, oranges and dates are inedible. The staff is friendly, they take you to a table in the restaurant, so you don’t have to run and look for a table.
5. Animation in the hotel is average. Beautiful shows in the evenings, unobtrusive exercises. belly dance during the day. Very weak baby. the children are bored, and there were many of them and mostly of preschool age.
6. The last minus of the hotel (very strong for me) - they smoke everywhere and a lot. This is the beach, and pools, and restaurants, and bars. It is almost impossible to hide from smokers. Saved the wind on the beach and a separate non-smoking room in the restaurant.
Conclusion: the hotel is fully consistent with its 4 stars.
