We went together with a guy. We arrived at the hotel at 9 in the morning, we didn’t want to check in, we waited until 12. At 12 we were given bracelets and we could at least drink and eat. We were only settled in the room at one in the afternoon. The food is normal, the choice is wide, I didn’t drink a single tablet during my stay, although I took everything from everything. Do not expect special service in this hotel - no one will bring you drinks, the hotel is self-service. The room was cleaned every day, not to perfect cleanliness, but not bad, the bed was changed on the third day. There were no figures from the towels, regardless of whether you leave a tip or not. The area is huge, clean and well maintained. From the reception to the beach there is a free service - every 5 minutes a clab car rides. Wi-Fi is just disgusting, very poor connection, impossible to use fully, besides, it only works from 16:00 to 00:00.
There are 2 pontoons on the beach, one where everyone swims (to the left) and the second, from which you jump into the depths, there is no bottom. We were on the second, due to the small number of people on it and the fact that both swim well. and the coral reef is better there, a lot of interesting fish. Special swimming shoes are not needed. We took a mask with us, but you can buy it there in front of the hotel across the street there is a chain of stores, it costs 8-10 dollars. There is little sand on the beach, which was very surprising, but clean. There is also a bar on the beach where you can eat pizza if you have an all-inclusive.
The guy went twice to the desert to drive on buggies, ATVs and jeeps ($ 45 trip), bought at the hotel from Ali Baba, was very pleased. We also bought a trip to Utopia Island from our tour operator Join Up (50 per person). The island is a piece of land that is flooded at night, nothing interesting, but the water is like a tear and we spent the whole day at sea on a yacht, stopped and fished, then rode on a tablet and a banana, and then snorkeled right above the reef with a bunch of amazing fish. That was great!! ! All this time, on land and under water, we were filmed and photographed by a photographer. You could buy these 4 disks for 30 bucks as a keepsake (introductory, overview, photo, video).

We liked Egypt and the hotel in particular.
