We were settled earlier than the scheduled time, at 12-00, we had to wait only 1.5 hours. The room was given in building 4, behind the main building. The rooms are no frills, but everything worked. Safe in the room is free. Minibar for a fee. 2 bottles of water upon arrival, then you can take it in a restaurant or in bars. Kettle with coffee and tea brought after our request. They put coffee only in 2 bags of Nescafe and no more... And we drink strong... Shampoo, gel, soap and a cap were put in once, when it ends, they don’t renew. We always carry with us. Towels were changed every day, but the bed sheets only once in 10 days. Cleaning is normal.
Food for Egypt is even nothing. The juices are excellent from the packages. Ice cream is excellent. The coffee in the main restaurant is terrible and only in the morning. Tried to take in a bar, also nonsense. They tried alcohol - as in all of Egypt - disgusting. Take it with you. There is no baby food. Who was with children, did not know what to feed. When ordering drinks, they issue a check, even if it's free.
Service is normal. Some tried not to notice anyone. But after a couple of days of rest, we sat down where you will not be ignored, and tips do their job. Many speak only English, even watched the bartender teach the German that you need to speak English with him, he was shocked. We explained ourselves in English, and then more and more often they began to order in Russian, they gradually tried to learn Russian. Remember our preferences.

More than 50% of Russian-speakers have a rest in the hotel.
The territory is huge, well-groomed, green. Only one minus is the lake in the center of the territory, huge and stupid, it doesn’t have a very good view... You had to go around it every time you go to the beach.
The beach is normal. Two bridges. It is convenient to swim from a small one, you enter the depth at high tide - 1.5 m, at low tide - 1 m. There is a reef nearby, a lot of fish. At low tide, the water leaves for 200 meters, the sand opens up, where the kids play.
Another minus - flies tormented us on the beach and by the pool...
