1. The hotel was chosen on the recommendation of the Shiko tour company, for which “thank you” to them. They didn’t want to check in for free right away, you pay 10 dollars and then without question, you don’t pay - you wait, and the bastards - the Arabs don’t say how long to wait, they endured an hour, then they knocked out the key to the room with swearing.
2. I liked the courtyard with a large swimming pool (which, unfortunately, was empty) and well-groomed greenery, there is a place to walk, a lot of space on your beach, a free sunbed can be found without problems.
3. The rooms are spacious, clean, but the renovation was done a long time ago, so in some places the wall burst and the plaster swelled up. The bathroom was disappointing with mold and rust. There are also minor shortcomings in the form of a crooked card reader, without which the light does not work, and burnt out light bulbs.

4. The food is varied and in sufficient quantity, with the exception of meat dishes. From meat, only chicken, and beef, was cooked every day in different versions: in sauce, boiled, fried, etc. It is impossible to eat their sausages and sausages - soy with food additives, cheese - plastic. But these shortcomings could be replaced by a variety of vegetable dishes, cuts, salads, fried, baked stewed vegetables. Variety of pasta and sauces. Desserts are also an incredible amount. Free alcoholic drinks are good, but unwashed plastic glasses kill, they often come across with someone's lipstick, so you even drink beer with a straw. The service from the Arabs is boorish, if you tip, then they pay attention to you. If you don’t come to lunch from the first minutes of opening, then you may not find a table with napkins and cutlery, and you run after the waiters with a request to bring what you need. There are generally assholes at the reception, or they pretend that they don’t understand Russian, you address the problem in English, they send you to the room to wait - you wait more than an hour and again you return to them with swearing.
5. I didn’t like it: swollen walls throughout the hotel, soundproofing of the room, you can hear absolutely everything that happens in the corridor from the room, and the same thing from the corridor - everything that happens in the rooms; boorish attitude as hotel staff, as well as representatives of the anex tour. Everyone wants to rip off a couple of extra dollars from you, without this questions are not resolved; lack of water in the main pool, I had to go to a neighboring hotel, but there the pool is smaller and the main problem is few sunbeds; free dinner in an Asian restaurant - they are fed with cheap, not fresh products, it is better not to go; constant imposition of paid services in the park and hotel beach.
p. s. the hotel is suitable if you are in Egypt for the first time, if not the first - do not spoil your impression.
