Being somewhat limited in funds, they still escaped to Egypt in the middle of winter. We chose the Festival Shedwan Golden Beach hotel in the middle price category with a sandy beach, beautiful grounds and infrastructure for children.
After reading the reviews on the Internet, we realized that the chosen hotel meets our requirements. And upon arrival we saw it with our own eyes. For $ 20 we were settled without waiting until 14:00 in the fourth building. The rooms are good, not far from the sea. The furniture is not new, the decor is modest, and more or less clean. Everything worked in our room, but others periodically had problems that could only be fixed thanks to Irina and another Russian employee. The Egyptian staff is friendly, but practically does not respond to comments. The only inconvenient thing is that there was no hair dryer in the room, you had to go to the reception every evening to fetch it and bring it back. Cleaning is not terrible, but we tried to clean up a bit on our own, as I am a little squeamish: I constantly imagine how the floors in all rooms are washed with the same rag.
The territory is large and green, it is very beautiful everywhere, you can take a lot of photos. There is enough space for the child to run around. The beach is large, we often went to swim on the spit, as it was not so windy there. The sea was cool, but we all swam. In the afternoon, my daughter ran to the kids club, the animators were Russian-speaking, so she really liked it. There were many educational and outdoor games, mini-disco. The daughter played with the younger children, began to ask for a brother or sister. There was no heated pool in the hotel.

Everything about the food was excellent. There is enough food for everyone, not spicy, not oversalted, children can even eat a common table. My husband liked meat dishes, I liked chicken and fish, stewed vegetables, eggplant salad with garlic more. But pastries were delicious only in the mornings, for lunch and dinner, biscuits tasted like a sponge. For fruit went to Hurghada, a taxi 20 pounds. The choice was just huge, everything is fresh and very cheap. Strawberries are just great!
We went on excursions. The excursions were very enjoyable.
We really liked the hotel, the rest was a success, we really want to recommend the hotel to all families with children who are looking for a hotel at a reasonable price.
