So, let's begin
Rested with a girlfriend from 8 to 14 April. The hotel was chosen for a long time and painfully (I really wanted to get a quality vacation for my money), so I want to thank the guys from Lucky fly (Kyiv) for their patience and help with choosing a hotel, we really liked it!
First impression:
"Love is not at first sight" (as was said in one of the comments) is true. When we were brought to the hotel, there was no entrance as such (as we all used to see at hotels) (it is being built and, by the way, this does not interfere with rest, so don't worry) and we were brought from the "back entrance".
Territory:
The territory is quite large, a lot of greenery (flowers, palm trees, lawns), well-groomed and clean. So where to take a picture)
Sea:
The coast is covered with corals (not colored) there are not enough fish. There is a pontoon (it is also a pier) and we swam in the sea from it. Water is something! Colorful and warm, oh, and it doesn't smell like the usual sea smell.

Swimming pool:
There are 3 of them (children with slides and 2 adults). As for me, the water temperature was cold. The pools don't smell like chlorine! There are also several slides a la water park.
Canteen and bars:
The food is very tasty, the choice is good. Bars are like bars (local alcohol is very, very hard to get drunk on, but it doesn't give you a headache in the morning). If you like delicious alcohol, it is better to bring it with you.
Snacks leave a lot to be desired. So eat well during the main time.
Staff:
A great! Here I want to put 5+. Friendly, interested in how the rest and whether everything is in order. The bartenders try to make delicious cocktails (you just have to ask).
Animation:
Great for kids. Adults are just lazy) If you are active, they will help you to have fun. There is a disco from 22:00 to 24:00. Hello to all Animators
Internet:
250 MB per room. We spent sparingly and turned it on only to unsubscribe to our parents, put up a photo, and for two we had enough for 6 days. You can purchase 500 MB for $5.
We were not particularly lucky with the weather, we got for a week when it was cloudy, raining (the last time was in October), windy. True, they still managed to burn a little)
The hotel was a little full and it was fine. Basically, they rest there: Poles, Germans, French, Belarusians and Ukrainians.
Tours:
I didn't like the guide. He was at the hotel only on the first day (the offer of excursions), then they did not see him, they wrote to him several times, but in vain.
1. Luxor

The cost is $45. The Temple of Karnak is very "impressive" and certainly worth a visit there. But! Excursion (story) 10-15 minutes, then ONLY 30 minutes of free time, believe me, this is very little if you want to see the temple! Then they take you shopping and they will give you a lot of free time, just buy. Shops: "papyrus institute" (one name), "handicraft shop" (you will be shown a performance of how two men make handicrafts), and then, you guessed it, a shop. We were also "rolled along the Nile" and taken to the dining room (horror, take food with you). They also showed the temple of Khachipsu in the rock, it’s beautiful, but of course they didn’t have enough time. We drove back for a very long time (an hour and a half longer). Oh, and don't forget to thank the driver at the end, that's how they do it)
2. Safari
The cost is $20. Cool! And now let’s take a look: first, they will describe the importance of goggles that you can rent for $ 2 for a long and tedious time (it’s a moot point or not, I didn’t regret it). Then you will be photographed and filmed, and all this "only" for $ 15, and when you say that you will not take it, they will sneer at you contemptuously.
All girls take a test drive and determine which column you are driving in (fast or slow). The advantage of fast is that you do not feel all the holes, and they are the road.
They will bring you to the Bedouins, ride a circle on a camel and offer you a hookah (although you won’t have time to smoke it). At the end there will be a sale of medicinal Bedouin herbs.
3. Egyptian Venice
The cost is $40. In my opinion the price is too high. They will put you on a boat, ride on a banana and a tablet, drive you to the town and there they will ride along the outskirts in a motor boat to the bar. Next, you will swim on the bathyscaphe - it's beautiful, like a 3D video. Then you can swim with a mask and fish (we had one hero, the catch was about a kilogram). Oh yes, and lunch (shrimp, fish in batter, squid, rice, potatoes and salad). Shrimps were very praised by the guys who went the day before, we were not particularly lucky, it was not tasty.
The guide also paid special attention to excursions to Cairo and Alexandria for $ 120 for 2 days, the price is tempting, but he forgot to mention the terrorist attacks that were committed the day before.
I advise you to choose excursions thoughtfully and not to succumb to the provocations of the guide.
And you yourself will need to take care of dry rations (although this is the work of a guide).

And also bring a pack of cigarettes, vodka, gozinaki or chocolate as a tip)

* I see negative reviews, but you need to remember the price and there is no need to compare Egypt, Turkey and Thailand (completely different things), and if you choose Egypt, then write and compare hotels in Egypt and in the same price category.
Have a nice rest!
