There were three of us: me, my mother and my daughter.
We arrived at 11 am. Because The hotel is fully booked, so we waited until 14:00. There are enough soft sofas and armchairs in the lobby for a comfortable waiting.
The number was good. With three full beds. Take the balcony, and you don't need it. The windows overlooked a patio with a waterfall. the sounds of falling water and music did not cause any particular inconvenience. ))
Food is good. As elsewhere in Egypt - the same)) Meat, fish, chicken - every day.
We didn't have any poisoning, just like never before in Egypt. You just need to eat in moderation, and not to collect full plates interspersed with salads-hot-sauces-dates-cakes)) All problems with the stomach - from overeating and mixing food with beer). So, even though every year I take medicine for poisoning with me, I have never used it.

Beach. We liked the beach, which is in the form of a lagoon. Clean and comfortable. Water WITHOUT traces of oil products. Luckily, it's surrounded by two-story bungalows (probably so), so there's practically no wind.
Animation. Guys are great. We were charging at 11:30. Very nice and helpful. mother and daughter were engaged in water aerobics in the lagoon. Positive and fun)) There is also stepaerobics and belly dancing, but we didn’t get to them)
Prominade. The hotel is located conveniently for walks) We went out for a walk at 14-00. It was very nice to do this, because. barkers had not yet gone to work and it was perfectly safe to walk and look
The shops.
METRO, which is in Down Town. You can get from the hotel by taxi. We got to number 6. It costs 1LE per person. You may not even agree in advance. They give change, but we tried to give the exact amount. But... there is no special need to ride the METRO. There's nothing special. . .
Fruit and vegetable market. It's called SUK. It is located a little further from the METRO. Ride on the same minibus and at the same price. Tell the driver "Downtown bitches". He will stop you in front of the market. The prices are as follows: strawberries - 5 pounds per kg, tangerines - 2, Guava - 2, ashta - 30, dates - 3. After shopping, without crossing the road, take a minibus and go to the hotel.
Senzo mall. From the hotel 25-30 pounds in a taxi. It's not worth going there. There is nothing special.
Abu Ashhara is next to the hotel. We bought mango there. Mango 28 pounds per kg.

Pharmacy. Everywhere they increase the price greatly, but we found a pharmacy where the prices pleased us. If you walk from the hotel towards Karkusha, then this will be the very last pharmacy before Karkusha. There will still be 200 meters to karkusha. On the side of karkusha. My daughter had age-related pimples on her face and we bought an acne cream at the pharmacy. In one, they sold it to us for 7 dollars, and when we found this pharmacy, it turned out that it was worth....5 pounds))) the cream is really very good, we stocked up on it. And other medicines are inexpensive. Cream for hemorrhoids (sorry, but it so happened that this sore suddenly appeared))) costs 10 pounds - it helped in 5 days, although nothing could be cured at home)) Drops in the nose (well, we just bought this))) - 50 pounds. In short, if you want to buy medicines - you should go to this pharmacy. The boy - a pharmacist there is very young and understands Russian very well.
There is a passage between the pharmacy and karkushi, in this passage, not far from the main road (10 meters), there is a shop that sells freshly squeezed juices. Cane juice - 1 lb. Do not even ask - they will say the price is higher. And just order and give 1 pound. Pomegranate - 10 pounds for 1 glass, but I did not like it, because their grenades are not very good.
Along the same street, a little deeper, 300-400 meters, there is a sweet shop El Zahraa (so it seems). he was better before. Now I didn’t really like it... some... well, shabby chtol))
Transfer. We went to the airport by taxi, did not wait for the bus. And as it turned out, it is very convenient. We arrived first, went through all the stages calmly. calmly visited the dutik. No nerves and no queue. From the hotel taxi to the airport 40 pounds. The taxi driver helped load and unload things.
I liked the rest very much. It turned out so calm, measured and heartfelt)
I really liked that the hotel was in the city center. the staff is good. The room is cozy (by the way, we didn’t change it... although many spoil their nerves by running around the hotel in search of a balcony... a view from the window, etc. ) Although, they say there are absolutely terrible rooms with a view of the neighboring room with broken glass. . . but we didn't get one, so I can't say anything.
Rest is rated 5.
