The hotel was chosen based on reviews and ratings, looked, liked it, went (February 2021). This was the first trip to Egypt (earlier in Europe they constantly rested with a more active type of recreation).
We arrived without delay, everything is ok, after leaving the airport near the TUI counter, we specified the bus and went (do not listen to the porters shouting "tui", they will take your bags 100 meters and beg for money).
It took 30+/- minutes to get to the hotel, we arrived quickly and comfortably.

We were at the hotel around 10-30, they collected documents, forms, etc. from us. and sent for breakfast. When you check in, someone survived $ 20, we are a huge Milka. After breakfast, we were immediately settled, that is, the expectation from arrival to settlement was minimal. Milka played, and right in the cardboard for the card was the corrector of the corrected number from building 37 (which is near the entrance and walking to the sea for 8-10 minutes) to building 15 which is in the very center, 2 minutes to the sea and the restaurant, quiet, etc.
Room: we had a regular 2-bed room, as a result we got a large room for 3 people (the bed for the third was in a separate room). The room is clean, tidy, everything worked, the bath is big, the shower cabin too, the safe, you, the refrigerator everything worked and decent. We noticed that the water does not drain very well in the shower - they said they did it on the same day, they used the safe - everything is also okay. Noise isolation is also normal, people were not heard. There is a small track. Water is constantly put and the room, drinks at the bar replenished us more often than stated once a week. Cleaned well (tips every other day). We were happy with the number.
Food: everything is very good. Breakfast is everything you want - sweets, bacon, scrambled eggs, sandwiches, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. in large quantities and everything is varied. Lunch - everything is also okay, meat of various kinds, side dishes, fish, vegetables and fruits (melon, strawberries, bananas, pomegranates, dates, etc. ), salads, soups.
Dinner is also cool everything, grill, local dishes, meat, seafood, and everything else on the list. Everything is varied, tasty, prepared well. The staff is pleasant, they will bring everything, ask about drinks, etc. There are many places in the restaurant (about 30% of people in the hotel). All staff in masks, gloves, antiseptics at every corner / table. In short, it's ok.
A la carte: there are 6 of them in total, but only 3 work (Asia, Italy, the Mediterranean), I liked Asia, Italy and the Mediterranean - 50/50 tasty, pleasant, but nothing special for those who were in specialized restaurants in Kyiv, for example.
Bars: a couple of bars open all day where you can eat (burgers, pizza, ice cream) or drink cocktails, cola, alcohol, etc. In the evening there are a couple more bars, but they are almost always empty : )

There is also a bar near the beach. Alcoholic drinks are local, they taste 50/50, but if they are in cocktails, then they are quite normal.
Pools: there are several heated 24 and 28 degrees, large, clean, warm, clean and disinfected every evening. There are lifeguards and all that, there are always free sunbeds. There is also a water park, for children it’s just space, for adults it’s not that : ) After the same Darim Town, it’s baby talk : ) but the pool from the slide is 28 degrees, and everyone under 15 will live there : ) it works from 10 to 12 and from 14 to 16.
Beach: very clean and decent, everything is cleaned, everyone is wearing masks (staff) everyone will help, etc. sandy entry, slippers were not taken and they are not needed, 20-30 meters shallow, then it goes deeper, closer to the buoys there is a good (not Wow, but normal) reef, where you can see a lot of fish). The beach has lifeguards, a bar, volleyball, darts, bocha diving center, etc. wi-fi catches too.
Animation Entertainment: everything is fine, they walk, beckon, but do not strain. Volleyball, Zumba, Aqua Veronica, Yoga, Bocha, Darts, Polo, Football, Bow, etc. In the evening, a disco for children and some other layouts. Once a week the Olympic Games.
Territory: you are in Macabi Bay, so you have to go to the city and all excursions. The cheapest option to the city is Uber, excursions will pick you up for an extra charge. a small fee. In order to enter the territory, you need to give away the rights, the driver is checked, the whole car is checked, including the bottom, so everything is ok with security. In addition to the things already mentioned, there are several large swimming pools, 4 tennis courts, table football and tennis, football, volleyball and basketball fields, mini golf, massage (not bad by the way), a fitness room. On the territory there is a part where repairs are underway, but this part is located in the corner and it did not cause any problems. The territory itself is green, clean, well-groomed - like it.

People: the staff speaks Russian (most) and English (almost all), they do their job well, there are no complaints at all, they will always help, they don’t require tea (we sometimes gave it ourselves). The contingent of vacationers: Ukrainians (about 50%), Belarusians and Russians (about 5%), Egyptians are not poor (about 30%), other Europeans - somewhere around 15 percent. before alcohol), mostly people 30+ with children, so everything is calm.
Weather: the first 4 days it was up to 30, excellent. Wind is minimal. Then the weather worsened and it was about 20 (in Cairo at that time it was +8). The sea is warm, around 24.
It seems everything, the hotel is excellent, there are few cons (I would improve A la carte), so I recommend it!
