Detailed review.
We rested in prima life from 03.04 to 10.04. We arrived at 8, we were sent for breakfast and checked in at 10:30, a room overlooking the wall of a neighboring hotel. The furniture in the room is not new, but we only slept there, the atmosphere is still cozy. Large shower room, packed towels, bed in spools, but when they changed it was normal, then how lucky. Large balcony. The room has a safe, refrigerator, hair dryer, air conditioning. WiFi is free only in the lobby, but very slow.
There are a lot of staff in the restaurant and on the beach, dirty plates are removed immediately, packed appliances are brought in, tables are disinfected after each one. The beach and grounds are washed and cleaned every morning. By the way, the territory is not big, you can’t walk around, but if you really want to, you can go along the beach and see other hotels (some of them do not work, but no one kicks you out).

Cleaning in the room every other day, we got a nice cleaner, we left a tip on departure.
Excursions are best taken on the Internet, with a guide and at the hotel, an extra charge of about $ 10 per one.
If you walk to the left of the beach for about 20 minutes after passing all the hotels, there will be a beautiful beach in front of the desert, where you can take cool "Maldive" photos.
Food: For breakfast, we ate pancakes, donuts, croissants, pouring plenty of chocolate and nutella, very tasty. There are also omelettes indoors and outdoors where there is a grill, sausages, yogurt tastes like homemade sourdough, salads, milk porridge, various cereals with milk, beans, deep-fried zucchini, and many sweets. From fruits bananas, oranges, guava, melon (at lunch and dinner), apples, dates, once there was strawberries.
Lunch at the main restaurant: beef, chicken, fish, sweets, potatoes, pasta, etc.
Lunch on the beach: pizza, shawarma (hot dog bun, shawarma meat and sauce), you can take just meat from shawarma, salads, fruits (guava, dates, orange, melon), french fries, and depending on day was the fish, the liver.
Dinner: all of the above + spaghetti, a lot of different fish depending on the day, even more sweets, one day there was a barbecue, one time grilled chicken, delicious grilled kebab, lasagna and canelloni (dough - pancakes for some reason and minced meat with sauce, not so much).
Were in one a la carte. They served Caesar type salad, tomato soup, chicken/meat with rice and broccoli. Dessert was carried for a long time and it's not worth it, a small cake, which is full in the main restaurant. For a change, you can go, but nothing special. We didn’t get into the second Ala Carte, but we saw that they served grilled meat, sort of.

Beach and sea: a very good entry into the sea, a lot of corals, but they are of the same type. From morning to afternoon, there are a lot of flocks of rubies that swim close to the shore and, in principle, are not afraid of people, among them you can swim and take cool photos underwater. We saw a small blue stingray, but they say if you swim to the left to neighboring hotels, then there are more of them, and even further, where turtles live in closed hotels, but there is no sandy entry, you need special shoes, which we didn’t have. At our hotel, at a depth of 1.5-2 meters, they saw a poisonous lion fish, it’s good that we swim with masks and swam away from there right away, but it’s so dangerous if you don’t see what’s under the water.
Animation Entertainment: all day on the beach and sometimes in the evening they call for a show (an hour in time). On the beach, water aerobics, exercises, yoga, zumba, games, volleyball. It is very interesting to observe, but also actively invite to participate. Sociable animators, often come up and ask how you are. All staff are wearing masks. In the evening, the show we saw was "Mr. Hotel", karaoke, dancing - zumba. A couple of times they called to a club in Hurghada for $ 15 per person with a transfer and alcohol, as we understood, but we did not go.
Bars: the bar in the lobby is open 24/7, where you can get Egyptian alcohol or buy something from the elite. Two bars on the beach, one of them is for lunch, where you can get ice cream, bottled water, juice, sprite, cola, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, the second bar also has popcorn and milkshakes (shakes are so-so). Pool bar for drinks only.
Shops: to the right of the hotel there are shops with souvenirs, in one of them there is a very hospitable seller, he saw that we were burned and gave us free smear with camel milk and gave us tea to drink. You can buy souvenirs, magnets, tea, hookah tobacco, hookahs, cups with Egyptian designs from him. Magnets from 1 dollar, pyramids about 5 euros (we only had euros), a cup 9, date tea 300 grams 13 euros. In short, we left 40 euros there. There are also shops in the lobby of the hotel, there is also quite unobtrusive staff. Magnets from $2. Swimming mask $15. Near the pools on the left there is a Pharmacy / pharmacy where we took sunscreen, Panthenol, ointments for burnt skin. Prices are slightly higher than ours. Ointments did not help, by the way, although they took everything that was offered, in a complex. Allergex ointment, so that the skin does not itch, does not help, if it is useful to someone.
We were satisfied with the rest, I would like it to be a little warmer on all days, otherwise we are cold, but we swam for several hours a day anyway.

Thanks to the staff for their kindness and service. I really did not want to leave and I want to return to this hotel for the atmosphere.
