Rest were satisfied. The hotel is located in the Old Town and shares a common area with the King Hotel. In fact, it is possible to use two different beaches - gently sloping in the King and with a pontoon in the Sphinx. The restaurants were also announced as common, but in fact on the third day, when we decided to dine in King, we were told that you have two restaurants in the Sphinx and have dinner there, after that we dined at a restaurant on the beach by appointment, and had breakfast and lunch at the restaurant of the Sphinx, it is always quiet and calm there, unlike the King, where there are always crowds and queues for food, as vacationers from two hotels come.
The hotel rooms are clean and have everything you need. The staff is friendly, there were no locals among the vacationers, which in my opinion is a big plus for the hotel. The animation was standard for Egypt, not intrusive, during the day there were always some kind of entertainment, but we did not go to it. In the evenings we went to the city for a walk, I think it's much better than the animation in the hotel. A 15-minute walk from the hotel there is a large shopping center, and if you go the other way - the embankment where mostly locals relax in the evenings.
The food was generally good, there was no seafood, but we bought several times at the fish market, as for me there are the most delicious shrimp. There is unsanitary conditions and a terrible smell at the fish market (we were once, but the impressions of a lifetime), so if you want tasty treats and so that your appetite does not deteriorate, approach the taxi drivers at the entrance to the hotel and they themselves will go to the market and bring everything you want at a convenient time for you, we did so.

This year, Hurghada was chosen specifically for visiting excursions and I can say with confidence that Luxor must be visited without fail, the tour takes the whole day (departure at 4-20, returned at 22-00), tired, but very satisfied.
