Short and to the point. In Egypt for the fourth time, so there is something to compare with. Rested with my son 10 years from 12 to 22 December. The hotel is solid 4*. Good rooms, a large green area, just the most beautiful reef (and it doesn't matter that you have to walk to it). One downside is the restaurant. The queues are due to our drunken compatriots who are afraid that everything will end on them and the unreasonable arrangement of clean dishes and ready meals. Well, the dishes themselves are gray from the persistent use of knives and with chips.....
Check-in is long and tedious. We were also "lucky" with an early arrival. According to all the rules, I had to wait for check-in until 12 o'clock near the ricepshin. A lot of people flew in, so having received an envelope with keys and cards, we did not wait for a mini-car that delivers vacationers and their luggage to their rooms and went to our room ourselves. Luggage was brought next and baksheesh was not extorted (which was even surprising). By the way, the cards have never been demagnetized.
The room is excellent. Big, spacious. They pick up well. Plumbing is good, everything worked without problems. Here in “Albatross” we suffered with the fact that the shower is tiny, there is nowhere to hang the shower hose (the holder was broken), there is nowhere to put shampoo, gel....And here everything is thought out. Fan is quite normal.

In the main restaurant we only had breakfast and dinner. My advice is not to go to the very beginning - better an hour later. We ate in a tent on the beach. The food is like everywhere else. If you were in Egypt, it no longer causes shock and you know quite well what you can eat and you won’t stay hungry. Be sure to take yoghurts there - there will be no problems with the stomach.
The beach is big. There were always enough beds. The fact that it was necessary to walk along the sea to the corals did not bother me at all. And at low tide it was very interesting to walk along the bare bottom - we saw moray eels, and different hedgehogs, and several types of stars, and an octopus, and living creatures whose names we do not know. The coral reef is beyond praise. I personally went swimming three times a day. And for an hour I definitely admired the beauty. Even divers were brought to dive on our reef. By the way, about the entrance to the sea - this is a feature not only of this hotel. From the neighboring Azur, everyone also goes in orderly rows to the island and then to the corals.
There will be questions - I will answer while the memories are fresh.
