The hotel is simply wonderful in comparison with many hotels in Egypt. If you do not forget that you are not in Europe, but in general in Africa, then the quality of service and the infrastructure of the hotel is quite up to par. The food was good (for 10 days the main dish was always new) , meat in all cooking options and the actual type (chicken, lamb, beef), fish at least 2 types, sweets at a height, watermelons and melons alternated every day (and of course a standard set of dates, bananas, grapes and apples). I was pleasantly surprised by the opportunity to order personalized cocktails in almost all bars (and not this hodgepodge of yupi, syrup and vodka), although of course they do not fully correspond to the original in taste and appearance, but still... Pina Colada, Sex on the Beach etc. The territory seemed to me not very huge, as they say in other reviews, but there is a place to take a walk and diversify your vacation: slides for children, relaxation zones for adults, various bars, pleasant walking paths and of course the beach. By the way, there is a huge minus regarding the beach: there are practically no places after 10 o'clock, and I'm not talking about the first line from the sea, there is none on the whole beach at all, but beachboys supposedly occupied with towels are sold for money, so if there are no beach towels on the sunbeds personal belongings, feel free to throw them off and take them. The beach is definitely too small for this hotel. The coral reef in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ our hotel was one and not very remarkable, but to the left in the Port Arabeski hotel it’s just a snorkeling paradise, a whole aquarium and not far from the coast. During the entire stay, neither we adults nor our child have ever been poisoned by anything, although it seems everyone ate and drank. Yes, by the way, no one seems to have written about one feature of the hotel - the presence of hotel time, so keep in mind upon arrival and check-in, it differs from the Egyptian one hour in advance. The rooms were cleaned perfectly, without complaints, though in the rooms on the first floor you definitely expect ants, where without them, but if you don’t leave food leftovers, they won’t appear in the room. All families with children are settled mainly in building 10, we liked it: quiet, close to the children's area, and everywhere close to the sea, 5-10 minutes walk will at least shake the body after lying by the pool or visiting a restaurant. We liked it, we will definitely return there if possible.
P. S. Guide Anex Tour - Abraham is an unambiguous professional bastard, harmful and nasty, cynically interested only in tourists who are ready to go on his tours, and stupidly hating everyone else. Only he alone could spoil our mood, but he could not affect the hotel and rest. recreation!
