The hotel was chosen according to the principle: the maximum rating in our budget. They never regretted the choice, they only regretted that they did not risk flying into quarantine for more than a week.
We arrived at the hotel late, at 20:30, for this a special "thank you" to Coral Travel, I have never had a flight postponed for 10.5 hours. It would be better to fly with Anex, their tour for 1500 UAH was cheaper and the plane arrived earlier. At the hotel we were settled immediately, gave bracelets and keys to the rooms. We rested with a friend and children, so it was important to have 2 rooms nearby. They gave it without problems, without additional payments, without baksheesh. The guys at the reception are very polite, for the first time in Egypt there was not even a hint of $. The rooms are very spacious and clean, the bathroom has the impression that the renovation ended yesterday, the plumbing is shining, the tile seams are clean, the shower wall is without a single drip. I have not seen such purity in Egypt for a long time, to be honest. We lived in these rooms for a day and asked to be moved to standard rooms with a connection door. They moved without additional payments and problems, first offering rooms in another building, but then in ours, but on the 3rd floor.
Quarantine standards are fully observed, the rooms are not populated 24 hours after the eviction of the previous tenants. Cleaning on demand but our cleaner cleaned every day, changed towels every day, changed sheets several times. Cleaning is not superficial, but with washing floors with bleach, moving beds away. The rooms have shower sets (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body cream), disposable mask + antiseptic, tea set. Beach towels in disposable bags in the room, changed by the cleaner. The cleaner is very pleasant, he always made different figures from towels for the children. He also brought water, 0.5 liters per person, not enough of course. The view from the room was on the garden and the sea in the distance. The hotel area is relatively small, very compact. Our building was near the reception, but it was close to the beach to go.

The territory is very well maintained, everything is green, trimmed, cleanliness and order everywhere. Everything is washed, disinfected. The beach is very large, designed for 2 hotels, with a small load it was generally deserted. Many write in the minus a long pontoon, but this did not bother us at all, on the contrary, it was interesting to consider the living creatures from the pontoon. There is no entry from the shore, and there is no sea at low tide. Therefore, if you choose a hotel, consider this nuance. This is not a minus of the hotel, but such a feature.
The pontoon is strong, solid, at the end there is a large platform with sun loungers and 2 descents into the sea. If you sail to the left of the pontoon, then the depth there is not greater than 1.5-3 meters, depending on the tide, it is good to swim there with children and watch fish. And if you swim to the right, then there is a beautiful reef, it is simply fantastic there, you just need to sail 300-400 meters. Large turtles live 50 meters from the pontoon, we saw them. A large moray eel lives under the pontoon. We saw big manta rays. Small stingrays live under the pontoon and are often seen on the shallows. The underwater world is very diverse, I did not think that in Hurghada there is such a reef and so many living creatures, even cooler than Sharma. By the way, it was the first time in Hurghada, and so in the summer it is much more comfortable here than in Sharm. No humidity and breeze blowing, very comfortable.
Nutrition. At first, it seemed to me very modest, there are no mountains of food, but the food here is excellent. There were always seafood for lunch and dinner, thematic dinners had a larger selection, and always 2 types of fish, seafood soup and something on the grill: mix, crabs or squid. There was always chicken in 2 versions, stewed beef, kebabs, burgers. There was duck, turkey, lamb (small) very tasty. Delicious meat sauces. There were even cutlets in Kiev. The food is all behind glass, cooks put it on, give as much as you ask and with a smile. There are also a lot of vegetables, different salads, as elsewhere. Sweets even too much, oriental just melted. The only negative in nutrition is fruits: apples, pears, bananas, oranges, green melons. Still, I wanted their watermelons, guava, dates. Waiters serve, it is not always convenient when there are a lot of people, waiting for drinks for a long time. The tables are clean, the waiters serve, the dishes are not disposable, antiseptics are everywhere. The temperature is always taken at the entrance to the restaurant.
Separately, I want to note the bar and the waiters who made delicious natural coffee. With a smile every morning the waiter met us with a question: two lates? And remember who drinks with sugar, and who without. Here's how not to give tea here ? ! The service at the hotel is such that you always wanted to give a tip, but no one extorted, did not ask. They just did their job well and with soul. It always felt like you were a welcome guest here. Bus in Gardens always went to the slides, the guard called him back, no more than 3 minutes and he came. In general, everything for relaxation.

I didn't find any cons in the hotel. I recommend the hotel for those who need the sea and the reef, as well as good service. I will definitely return to the hotel.
