Rested in April 2008. The hotel is new, nice, normal rooms. As for safes, this is true. Code for safes 123456#. To change the shared access code, you need to ask the reception. The food is hearty, but monotonous. Drinking is not up to par. Vodka, whiskey, brandy, tequila, bacardi leave a lot to be desired. If you want normal drinks, you need to buy them right away in DuteFree, you can buy them within a day after arriving at the airport. Didn't like the service. We were all gathered together, Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians, etc. They eat at the same restaurant. Australians, British, Germans are fed separately. Judging by the fact that they were worn, the menu is most likely different. The food is the same, prepared the same way. Juices are better to buy in the city. In the hotel, instead of juices, a diluted invite, they offer juice from freshly squeezed oranges for $ 3. Take pills from the stomach, many complain of unpleasant urges. Disco from 23 hours. Drinks and everything else is paid. If you ask for a DJ, cat. understands to stage Russian music in Russian, he pretends that he does not understand anything. For 12 days, the animators did not stage a single Russian song. I personally have not heard. Although the room was opposite the site of the hotel.
There are only 2 bars. One is by the pool, the other is at the reception. They work from 10 to 24. If you want not to stand in line, you can beat the waiter bucks. Then, he will bring you drinks for a couple of hours. There is a waiter in the bar, he says that his name is Sasha, he mixes cocktails well, unobtrusive, see photos : )
As for excursions in the hotel, it is expensive to buy. If you exit from the small doors and go to the left, then near the fish restaurant there is a travel agency with a sign "Sasha and Misha" there. Everything is much cheaper and they provide the same service. If a hotel leak costs 30 bucks per person, then we bargained for 23 bucks for two. We went the same way and along the same routes with the same service as in the hotel for several excursions. I advise Elguna, Paradise Island and Bedouin. On excursions, everything is filmed on video, they ask from 15 to 35 dollars for a DVD, and they shoot a little, all in a row and mostly (we came across Arabs and other nationalities on excursions). Why pay that kind of money if you are filmed for a maximum of 2-5 minutes. We immediately asked not to be filmed.

It should be noted that the Arabs behave shamelessly, if you go to Sakala for shopping, as soon as you turn away, they begin to pester women. Anyone who sticks would have their face trimmed. When men are afraid to pester. All this continues everywhere, even at the Hurghada airport. I do not recommend women to go shopping alone, ask for some. fellow traveler.
The beach is good, the pools are good, basically the rest is not strained, if you do not touch the menu. Actually did not regret that they went.
