I never write reviews, this is my first time writing. Pushed me to this lack of bad reviews about this hotel. Rested from 12/15/10 to 12/28/10. I am in Egypt for the sixth time, so there is something to compare. We arrived at 11 a. m. , there were no problems with settling for $ 20, they asked what I wanted and quickly took my things to my room 5211 (with a sea view, the landscape is excellent 5 points) The hotel itself is old, the rooms are shabby, the furniture too, though everything works. There was no hot water pressure in the bath and the water did not drain. About the beach, there are several for all tastes.
1. Lagoon, the water in it is either clean or green, like in a lake, depending on the tides, at the beginning there is sand (a place for kids) on the sides of the lagoon stairs, for those who know how to swim, there are no living creatures in the lagoon, small gray fish come across
2. Beach near the pier, fish restaurant (restaurant paid) down the stairs, there are reefs a lot of fish there with a mask to swim.

3. Beach on the left side of the hotel down the stairs, open sea depth from 0.5 m. up to 1.5 m. The water is clean and there are practically no living creatures.
Sun loungers had to be borrowed from 6 am. all lie on the left side of the lagoon (sunny side) there is not enough space for everyone. At 10 am, taking a seat under the sun is no longer realistic.
Meals - standard breakfasts, scrambled eggs, sausages, eggs, pastries, sausage, aladya, etc.
Lunch and dinner is a large number of people (and at any time) huge queues, portions are given in a limited amount, you have to beg, in short horror, I have not even seen this in fours. You won't go hungry but. . .
The table setting is terrible, the tablecloths are dirty, there are not enough spoons, tea cups (there were jokes, then there was no tea, but there were cups, then on the contrary) The dishes are all monotonous, (local fish, meat like goulash, chicken with vegetables, rice, potatoes, pasta) seafood never happened. There are few fruits. At the bar, there is a queue for alcohol, two glasses in one hand, and, for example, beer is poured in half with foam. Simply put, this is not a restaurant, but a canteen.
Animation can be viewed. They are trying, doing something, some kind of competitions, etc. The level of local amateur art
The guide was Hassan from CORAL, his main goal is to sell more excursions, the prices are naturally twice as expensive anywhere else. We did not take from him, so he did not even want to communicate with us.
Conclusion: if you expect five stars from this hotel, then this is a deep delusion, a maximum of 3 (this is not only my opinion, most vacationers say so) Although the price and quality are 43 thousand rubles for two weeks. decide for yourself. I will never return to this hotel and will not recommend to my friends. (for example, I rested twice in the "Grand Azur Horizon 4 *", now renamed "Mantilon" is a 10-minute walk from this, so it is a solid 4+. If anyone has any questions, write, I will answer.
