Hotel ratings by criteria:
Who told you that this is 5 *? In Egypt (and not only) hotels themselves attribute stars to themselves, or tour operators do this to sell at a higher price. It's actually 3*.

The hotel has:
1) many numbers
2) several restaurants
3) many pools
4) water park
5) beach
6) Nuances that are better to know "BEFORE"

1. Numbers.
The transfer is fast and hassle free. At the hotel, we were quickly settled into a shabby room with a dented sofa, a non-working safe and ants on the table by the refrigerator. We talked about it. In the morning, the sofa was replaced, the ants were wiped off and the swans were twisted. Everything.
In the morning, the guides of Anekstura gathered all the "newcomers" in the conference hall and began obsessively selling excursions. Ahmed especially distinguished himself by repeating the ancient spell of the Egyptian guides "bez laha zhizn' plaha" several times.

Tip: Do not go to the mandatory meeting with the guides in the morning - skip breakfast. Breakfast is more useful than guides. Excursions with third-party guides are 2-3 times cheaper.

2. Restaurant/s.
Several restaurants. Second paid (200 Egyptian pounds)
The restaurant looks a bit like a cultural dining room. Lots of food. Especially any buns and cakes. Phoenixes are gorgeous. Few salads. The food is the same, but a lot. Plates, cups with traces of greasy fingers of local cooks. Caesar's catering workers have no idea about the existence of saucers for cups. Napkins are in short supply.
There is also a cafe and a fish restaurant on the beach. The restaurant is paid. Micro bars are scattered around the pools. There is a pool bar. Everywhere from drinks powdered juices, coffee and tea in plastic disposable cups and Pepsi. I have not tried local alcohol. I'm not a fan of booze, so I can't say anything.

3. Pools
A lot of them. There are for small children, medium (1.20m. ) and adults (1.60m. ). Water is chlorinated, readings of water samples are taken.

4. Water park.
Gorok is enough. There are steep slopes. There is sooner. There are pools for the little ones.
It is better to move out on carimats or circles, otherwise after the water park the whole back will be bruised. But again, these carimatics are very few and not enough for everyone. There are 3 laps in general. People are queuing behind them.

5. Beach.
There is a beach. There is no sea.
On the local sea "do not go beyond the buoys. " And at low tide, "do not step over the buoys. " The sea is open until 17:00, then the beach workers kick everyone out of the water and go home.

6. Nuances. Kidalovo.

6.1 Local.
Recently, the hotel administration began to let the locals in (apparently things are not going well for Caesar). The Egyptians wear "bracelets" of a different color. I do not want to say anything, but unfortunately in the culture of representatives of local ethnic groups there is no concept that "besides you, there can still be people around. " This is not the best way affects the quality of rest of others. Including the locals themselves.

6.2 Towels.

This is a classic of the genre. They are issued in a special shack on the beach.
these towels are so shabby, shabby. But you are responsible for them with your money in the amount of 150 local pounds. And then the moment comes when you emerge from the pool, approach the sun lounger, all so wet, but there is no towel. And nobody saw anything. It seemed that a woman with a child was spinning nearby, it seemed that she went somewhere there. Receptionist Raymond listens to you attentively, then makes a helpless gesture and utters "You pay. " You: "For what? " He: "You lose - you pay. " Then it turns out that you are far from the first with such a problem today. You: "Your hotel is a mess" Raymond: "We're not responsible for that" What are you responsible for here? "We are responsible for zef*"
Then a local employee comes up to you in the corridor and offers to solve this issue. Noticing that you are not being led to it, it disappears.
___________
* "zef" - Safe. Don't be fooled. It still doesn't work.

6.3 Swans.
For a dollar, a lucky janitor will roll your towel swans, decorate them with bottle caps, and forget to put soap in the dispenser. Unfolding the towel, you notice that the author of the towel masterpiece did not wash his hands.

6.4 Wi-Fi and Internet.
He is here like the sea. Which is not. Wi-Fi is available, but no internet connection)))). In the lobby, if you're lucky, you can "catch the Internet. " But the speed is like that of a dial-up modem. I remembered a long forgotten feeling of joy when I "got through".

Outcome.
Would I like to come here again? No. "no" is not because of dirty dishes, lack of internet or scammers with towels. And because of the sea, which is not here.
