were in December 2008 week, went with her husband.
What to consider:
Arrived at 10, check-in was at 13.
But we were warned in Kyiv to take a separate bag for the beach right away. we did so. We sat on the beach. Although after the plane I wanted to drink tea, calmly change clothes, etc.
About the entrance to the sea.
This is a must for every hotel.
Here the best entrance was on the left, but in any case, it is necessary to ford 300 meters in shallow water in coral shoes, or swim across to the island and another 200 meters also on foot but around the island.
There is a small, 10-15 meters area of ​ ​ shallow water up to about a meter deep, where there are many beautiful fish, and then a steep cliff down, where there are corals and fish.
always remember on the Red Sea that you can only go into the water before dark, always be careful, swim either in shoes or in fins, here I went in coral shoes, and there I changed my fins.
I saw two reef sharks over a meter in size.

But in Taba, for example, I met with a large barracuda (there are up to 3 meters, that's still terrible).
This is a living sea, always be careful.
Do not take scuba diving in this hotel, you will be immersed in shallow water, where it is quite normal without scuba gear with a snorkel and a mask.
I liked the beach, the free drinks in all the bars on the shore were of average quality, but it was still nice.
Several large and very picturesque pools, and a small one with a hot jacuzzi. But we preferred the sea.
We had all inclusive, so we did without additional payments.
Bottle of water per day in the room. However, water and tea in the bar near the reception during the day can be free of charge. Oh, and Egyptian drinks.
The food was quite satisfactory, it was quite varied.
There is a gym on the second floor.
The hotel in the desert is far from the outside world, but the territory is quite large and it was enough for us for a week.
in general, the main thing there is of course the Red Sea, corals and fish, I don’t think there without a mask with a snorkel, the sea makes up 99% for me personally.
The rooms are large, large bathroom, large balcony, all the same, as I understand it, the villas are three floors in three lines, four rooms on each floor, ask about the numbers right away to understand the location.
Service is unobtrusive
Unless some leftist tour operators scurried around on the beach, but we immediately demonstrated that they had nothing to catch with us.
yes, we have been to Egypt five times, in Hurghada and Taba.
Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.
