Was there. The hotel is good. I have been to Sharm many times and once in Hurghada in this hotel. I can say for sure that I will never visit Hurghada again! Charm is incomparable. And this hotel is not cheap for the price, I would definitely look at something in Sharm. By the way, the hotel is absolutely not youth. 80% of holidaymakers are German pensioners. It's boring there. If anything, I'm 32)) rested with my husband without a child.

Thank you ZlyukaLenka!
we also prefer SHES, but I want to see Luxor. well, the son is also interested in seal rest, the daughter-in-law is interested in a lot of water - and this seems to be in the hotel ...
and we ourselves have not yet been to Kh. - only to Makadi. the weather promises to be good, the hotel does not seem to be on the outskirts, that is, you can wander around the city ...

If seals rest, then a great hotel) the lagoon is very beautiful, the bar between the bridges and the snacks in it are very tasty. We didn't even go out for lunch sometimes. Well, in general, apart from lying like a seal, there is nothing to do there))

We were in Dessert in 2017. Before that, we only went to Sharm. About this hotel.
It is pointless to ask for advice if you have not written what your children are interested in. Therefore, instead of advice, only the characteristics of some aspects of this hotel.
1. Kitchen. We really liked everything about food and cuisine. There were snobs who wrinkled their noses about the fact that there was nothing to choose from. We did not have time to try everything that was posted.
2. Territory. 5+ Everything is well-groomed, everything is licked.
3. Animation. We actually went several times. I really liked one room, and the rest, so-so. With nothing to do, you can go a couple of times.
4. Training room. there is a training time, I went, quite a decent gym, free. I have not seen this in other hotels.
So as you can see, there are many advantages.
5. Sea. The sea, unfortunately, is practically non-existent there. It is proposed to swim in a dug out puddle, which is called "lagoon". This lagoon is quite large, 80-100 meters in diameter, I didn’t try it in depth, I didn’t go into this puddle.

Continuation. We went to swim in the sea, on the left side, where the fish restaurant is. Entrance on 3 with a minus. There are almost no corals. I sailed the whole bay there, there is nothing interesting. There, from one end of the beach to the other, a couple of hundred meters. Therefore, if your children (30 and 28) want to admire the beauties of the Red Sea, then this hotel has such a bay that they will not see anything.
6. Cherry on the cake. We have been to Egypt 5 times. And it was the only hotel where all the guests were divided by grade. The first grade (Western Europe) was wearing a green bracelet. Everyone from the former USSR - orange. They explain this by taking care of the guests. In fact, everything turns into the fact that "green" is a green road. Most do not pay attention to this, but I was very annoyed.
These two points 5 and 6 for me outweighed all the pluses and more in this hotel, before and in general I will not go to Hurghada again. Lkchshe in Sharm.
I was 73 last year, maybe I'm being picky, I don't know.

The hotel is clean, the staff is adequate, the food is good, in sufficient assortment and quantity, the room in which we lived 6240 overlooking the pool is clean, the cleaning is good. The artificial lagoon is really big, but still a muddy puddle. , just splash around. But there is a lot of living creatures there, and crabs, and stingrays and fish, and hedgehogs - there is something to be glad about. This is certainly not Charm, but quite a decent hotel, maybe the price is slightly too high.

Don't bother. Germans and other Europeans and in other hotels hoteliers lick ass, despite the color of the bracelet. And their dirty compatriots with a bunch of children are also in the first place.

Desert is just the hotel where they don’t lick, I didn’t see a difference in treatment. Maybe just lucky

AlexP45, that is, the green bracelet is not the 2nd and subsequent visit, but "Europe"? embarrassing then.
...children really want to sleep off for a week and have a little fun (the granddaughter is a year and a half + work, they want to relax, there is enough entertainment in Kyiv)

about the Europeans: in the Royal SHEShovsky they really moved me to pour a fresh juice for a German woman, so I don’t bother anymore. we are equal to them, they are masters. Here is such a slave philosophy.

In general, there were tourists speaking Russian with a green bracelet. I asked how they got it. It turned out that these were citizens from the former Soviet republics who worked in Austria or Germany and bought a tour there. So this division is not based on nationality, namely, where he came from. From the West - well done, you have a green light.

Yes! As for the bracelets, it's true. And it just annoyed me a lot. The attitude towards the "green" and the rest is completely different. Starting with service in the restaurant in the morning. Those. every morning = spoiled mood. Since this hotel does not have the opportunity to make tea / coffee for yourself, you need to wait until the waiter pays attention to you and pours. And with me, the waiter walked past me three times, seeing empty cups. And poured the same 3! times coffee to the Germans with green bracelets at the next table. And probably this would have continued if the husband had not given them overclocking, I had to swear. But on vacation I don’t want to deal with such garbage and go to educate waiters. You feel like a beggar, you see, you want coffee))

The question is - do they, children aged 28 and 30, need advice? Retold in third person?

Look at the hotels of the Sunrise network in Makadi or Sahl Hasheesh, a more economical version of Pyramis Sahl Hasheesh, by the way, this hotel is underloaded and there will definitely not be any discrimination, my tourists were there a month ago, there are few people and almost a speck of dust was blown off from each.
