The hotel was chosen based on reviews, in fact it turned out to be really good. I agree with the previous review about the attitude of the staff towards Russian speakers. Germans are licked, Russians are rude. Sun loungers by the pools (our building is located near the sea) are not enough, as well as by the sea. By the way, the Germans take sunbeds at 4.30 in the morning...
Most outraged was the 'necessity' of buying a New Year's dinner for $ 150 each. On December 31, my husband had a fever in the evening. The vaunted Egyptian rotavirus is to blame for everything (relevant for lovers of pears with apples in the off-season). After a long search for a restaurant for dinner, which was in a large tent at the entrance to the reception, as well as listening to lectures in a mixture of Arabic and English, I found the administrator. I asked for dinner in my room, which was never brought to me. Eat on the same day in one of the hotel's restaurants failed. Everywhere they asked for a ticket for the New Year, which they took away from me (it’s my own fault, I naively believe people). As a result, the New Year without champagne and without food turned out. My New Year was stolen! Do not choose this hotel for your holidays if you are not German and if you cannot say everything you think in Arabic!
I would also like to add a review about the trip to Luxor organized by Tez Your. There are many options for itineraries to Luxor. We chose the most concentrated on the sights. As a result of an hour of waiting in Safaga for a pass from the police for a trip, the time to Luxor took 5 hours instead of the 2.5 promised by the tour agent. They took an hour and a half to Luxor, which turned out to be not enough. Why so many? Because you came here for a walk? - said the guide... then there was a move to the other side of the Nile, to the tomb of Hatshepsut on a smelly boat with a clumsy driver. A couple of times we hit with neighboring boats (the Arabs love to create a queue and a flea market out of everything). After going ashore, a dump of buses opened. They took me to dinner in some disgusting eatery, the path to which was accompanied by beggars. There was a flea market in the ‘canteen’, to distribute the arrival of buses in time - this is beyond the comprehension of the Arab mind, there was no decent food, however, as well as any acceptable for a European either. I will add that we got to the hotel for dinner at 11 pm, to the words there was nothing there except for lettuce leaves. It was important for the guide to cut down additional money at the same time. It was suggested that they visit a banana plantation so as not to waste time, according to him, moving from one side of the Nile to the other. Plus $15 per person.

P. S. Will I go to Egypt again? Definitely not.
