Only on Saturday I returned with my husband from this hotel. We rested there from 6 to 20 - 15 days. But even this was not enough for us. We chose Alf Leila Wa Leila not by chance. Firstly, my mother had already rested there, and secondly, after reading hundreds of reviews, I realized that the hotel was perfect.
Beach. The beach belongs to the Dana Beach Hotel. Before it, slowly walk for 10-12 minutes (and not 20 minutes, as some write here). Buses also run every 15-20 minutes. Lots of sun loungers and umbrellas. Full of unoccupied even at lunchtime. But we preferred to relax in small "bungalows" at the very end of the beach (as you go to the beach, turn right and go to the end). It's very quiet and usually no one is there. There is also a windsurfing school. We met wonderful instructors - Amr, Gesham and Said. And thanks to them, they learned to ride the boards well.
Corals and fish can be seen if you go down into the sea from the pier along the ladder. You can also go along the spit to the stop and turn right. There are also many fish.

Food. There are no complaints. Everything is great. Fed to death. Breakfast - pancakes with a variety of toppings (cooked in front of you), scrambled eggs with a variety of fillings from vegetables and bacon (cooked in front of you), yogurts, whatever muesli and cereal you want, chopped fruits for yogurts, a lot of pastries. (I’ll tell you a little secret - the chef, over whom the “Pizza” sign is preparing an awesome oriental delicacy - fatir. These are such triangles of their puff pastry so tasty that you can bite off your fingers. So this yummy is raked in an instant, so don’t waste time in vain))) also meat, side dishes for those who like a more hearty breakfast. Lunch on the beach - pasta, potatoes, various meats, pizza, vegetables, sweets, lots of fruits. Lunch at the restaurant - a variety of soups, mountains of stewed, boiled, fried, raw vegetables, meat and lamb, and chicken, and beef, any side dishes (delicious rice), huge tables of sweets (cakes, muffins, jelly, mousses, pastries). Dinner - everything is the same, only plus everything is pasta (pasta) with a variety of vegetables and meat, pizza (I didn’t eat tastier !!! ), grilled crabs (but not every day), and ice cream and watermelons alternate every other day, fruits - pears, guava, apples, fresh dates, grapes (pitted sooo delicious), oranges, baby bananas. There is also an afternoon snack, but we didn’t go to it, because we were so full that we couldn’t move 
Pools. There are at least 5 of them. One main one is very large. There is animation going on all the time. Not far from the Kids Club there is another one, a little smaller. There are also 3 pools in small courtyards near the back entrance to the reception.
Territory. Very big and beautiful. There are places to walk and relax. Everything is done with taste and in oriental style. We even stared at ordinary lanterns and stained-glass windows.
There is a square where there are bigatures of the Sphinx and various famous Egyptian temples. That is, there is where to take a picture. Very beautiful birds fly everywhere, similar to a dove, and sometimes you can even see parrots.
Vacation with children. On the territory there is a Kids Club in the form of a castle, as well as a playground, in the evenings there are daily performances for children in the amphitheater.
Entertainment. Every day there was a performance of "1000 and 1 Night". The first part - on the square with bigatures, they talk about the history of Egypt, show tricks on horseback, three men dance with skirts. The second show is already taking place in the yard - various folk dances, belly dance, as well as a simply amazing dance with skirts performed by a local star.
In the amphitheater, different performances are held every evening - Fakir show, Show with cobras, etc.
Also nearby is the Havana Club. Entrance for hotel guests is free. Just a drink for your sset.

Rooms. We got number 652. Of course, when we checked in, we invested 10 bucks in our passport and asked for a quiet and peaceful place. Initially, we wanted a room with a view of the children's pool. There, they say a funky place, but the beds are only separate. So we agreed to another number. Our windows overlooked another building. To the right were tennis courts, and on the other a fountain with dolphins. The balcony is very large with two plastic chairs and a table. The location is great and the room is good. Very convenient and not far to go to the restaurant.
We also liked the rooms with their pools and small courtyards. If you go through the reception in front of you will be a sculpture of women with pots. Go ahead - there is a courtyard with a shallow pool, at the bottom of which a dolphin is drawn, and if you go right or left, there are also excellent courtyards with deeper pools.
Left a dollar a day or £.5 on the janitor's bed. We really liked how he cleans. Moreover, the guys get very little.
Tours. We took only one excursion from TezTour - diving. All the rest were taken from the local company Egypt Tours, which is located opposite Sea Gull in Hurghada. But their sign doesn't match the name.
The handling of our trips was first class and the benefits are huge. If TezTour has a moto safari for 60-75 dollars per person, then in Egypt Tours 30.
We went to Cairo on our own without guides and enjoyed it immensely. I advise everyone. You will not regret. So you will not climb unnecessary shops and will be able to walk around the city. We managed in a day to go to the pyramids on horseback, visit the Citadel, go to the Cairo Museum, see the Cairo Tower, take pictures on the Nile, visit the city center - the island of Zamalek - where only rich people live.
I will answer all questions, write
Everyone who will go in the near future, pliz send warm greetings to the guys from the Windsurfing School from Natasha and Artur. We miss them very much.
