We were in this hotel in August 2015, returned two days ago. We arrived there almost at night, two tired women with children, and they gave us two rooms: one - as I wanted on the first floor with glass doors to the garden, and the second on the second floor without a balcony. Two employees at the reception flatly refused to give us rooms next door although they were free. In general, they talked about money, otherwise nothing else. But the suitcases did not even help. It was very reluctant to give money to these unpleasant types. In general, it was difficult to hang around with children at night and we settled where we settled. We lived near the water park, which is very convenient for children, the Garden area with windows to the garden, far from the dining rooms. But we planned to walk and move a lot. The next morning, at the onset of sunny hell, a friend decided that she didn’t need any terrace or balcony, she wasn’t going to pay money and stayed in her room. The rooms were generally clean, the furniture was decent and the safes worked, and the air conditioners also worked for days. In the dispensers in the bathroom, only gel and soap, take shampoo with you. That's just the curtains that we have, that our friends in the hotel are dirty, as if they had not been washed for 100 years. The cleaner cleaned up, made figurines out of towels a couple of times and stopped, we also stopped leaving a dollar. The hotel itself is bright, colorful: trees with red and yellow flowers, music, winding bright blue pools with bridges, pink paths, palm trees and, of course, a water park. Slides are cool, there were no queues. Paradise for children! The truth about here and there you can find garbage in the corners on the periphery of the hotel and scattered plastic dishes. But… Egypt is Egypt, their megacities are buried in rubbish and garbage heaps.
Sea in the morning. About the sea, you can compose a separate song. It shimmers with all shades from blue, blue to pale turquoise and azure. It is transparent, perfect as in promotional photoshop pictures, endlessly waving ridges with foam. Directly from the pier, a gorgeous coral reef opens up, if you are a snorkeling enthusiast, this is the place for you! You can not go on any underwater excursions. Corals are colorful. In clear water you can see everything as in the picture and everything goes into a deep blue depth. Here, beautiful fish walk in crowds, and shoals of small and huge sizes, shimmering like a rainbow, like toys, and scary, and with three tails. Just dive with a mask and soar in this beauty. We definitely need slippers for swimming, by the end we threw ours away: they were torn, the soles were cut.
In the evening, after the sea and slides, the amusement park begins to work. Lights are flashing, music is playing. The children rode the merry-go-round every day. $ 1.8 tickets (but then they often let us in for free, say, through an acquaintance). In the evening at 21. the show for half an hour is so-so. Alas, by this time the children were leaving, but parents would like discos, but silence and boredom sets in. People crowd in bars and lobbies and are frankly bored. Disco at 23.00 acid, for 20-year-old children, not a single modern hit, neither Western, nor even Russian. I came there for the second time, hoping to dance, the animators of the Russian guys were asked to act on the DJ, but there was no effect. In general, for those who love acid, how to get stoned - and at this disco, but for decent Russians who over 30 do not have a disco, boredom in the evening. Once a week there was a foam party - both adults and children had fun there, and a Russian music library was immediately found. Animators conduct dances during the day on the beach, there is a children's room next to the amusement park where they play with children.

Food! How much in this sound!... You have to walk around and choose food. Salads can often be stale, but you go to the counter where the chef cuts everything right in front of you and picks up from him. There is always meat! Chicken, beef. Fish - always! Seafood - there are. Their eggplants are delicious. (Going to the hotel, I read terrible reviews about food that people were almost starving, but we ourselves were pleasantly surprised upon arrival) Sweets - as always in Egypt, are very good. For some reason, there is a small selection of fruits, but we ourselves went to buy mangoes with a divine taste in Hurghada at the market.
The people at the hotel: Arab families, by the way, are the most kind people, and they speak English, unlike our tourists, Germans, Poles, Ukrainians and Russians.
Excursions: Luxor is super if they can endure the heat of 60 degrees. I am capable easily. Wrap their cotton scarf around their heads and cover their faces - you will see how it will be easier to breathe in such heat. For lovers of antiquity, simply unforgettable. A trip on a yacht, diving, snorkeling - super, quad safari - very interesting for you and the children, Show 1001 nights - very weak, carelessly, do not waste your money. I was at such a show in Sharm el-Sheikh - heaven and earth. There, the palace is more luxurious and the show with that name is expensive.
The result of the rest in 11 days. We had a good rest, the impressions are bright, positive, but we didn’t have enough discos. But in general, we had a great rest, the memories remained good. Hotel for 4, I recommend for families with children, for people not spoiled by European resorts.
P. S. By the way, on the last day when we vacated the room at 12, and we had a check-out at 5 o'clock, the bracelets were not removed from us and we rode the slides to the last.
