Were from June 5.2009 to June 19.2009
Rested two adults (34 and 36 years old) and a child (12 years old)
They lived in the main building. The number was standard 2001. Since the sound from Disco was heard at night, they changed it to 2068. The number was changed without problems. In general, we were pleasantly surprised by the staff at the hotel. In Egypt for the 6th time, perhaps, we rarely meet such helpful staff. In Russia, small dollars were exchanged for tips, but they were never handed out. Brought back for another time. All processes worked without baksheesh. A couple of times they left the cleaner $ 1, he twisted butterflies and all sorts of swans. As a recommendation, if you are not an ardent fan of disco, lying in your room, then take the EVEN rooms in the main building, they face the other side. In our case, went to the pool in the Coral Club. In the Dunes and in the Coral Club I do not know what numbers. They are a little further from the main building, we rode there on a train.

We always go to Egypt in October. This time it's June. We do not regret. There is no heat, and you can sunbathe until 19:00.
So a little about the cons.
Mosquitoes.
Take fumitox, or buy $ 10 at the hotel. It's not just the hotel's problem. This is the trouble of the whole Hurghada of June 2009. So the guide said, and also asked in other hotels - there is.
Food.
It seemed to us that the food should be neutral, because it is prepared for a huge number of people and everyone will add salt, finish, etc. for themselves. So often there were very spicy dishes and often oversalted (I'm not talking about the exclusive, standing in the corners). We met a married couple who have already been resting in this hotel 5 times, they confirmed that the food had gone bad. And that when the hotel was Le Meridian, with a French manager, the food was many times better. But we didn’t swell from hunger, but in any case we saw better food, in the same Egypt. In my opinion, for five stars - this is an omission. All in all, the food is a no-brainer.
Poop on the beach.
When I read the reviews, before leaving, someone wrote on the feces washed ashore.
I confirm - they swim. Source - moored ships to the left of the beach. In our 14 days, they drained their dry closets twice, and it all spread all over Makkadi. Consolation or not, it also flowed to neighboring Iberotel hotels.
In general, twice the sea did not please with its beauty. fail
Animation.
Evening shows are held indoors. This is the Docker bar. It's terribly inconvenient. It was so smoky there that when a child came home from a children's show, his clothes smelled of tobacco, which could be smelled from a kilometer away. Actually, when they themselves came from there, they smelled no better.
Contingent
80% Czechs. 10% Russians. 10% Arabs.
I have never seen so many elderly topless tanned Czech girls. And God forbid I will never see this disgrace again. I'm not a puritan, but watching the shriveled breasts of a 50-year-old granny for 14 days was a little annoying.

Arabs. Separate song. It's like a locust. He is in shorts, she is all in a veil and even the bridge of her nose is closed and a pack of children. Not a Nazi, but watch THIS eat with your hands or swim in the pool, and in clothes. I personally saw how their child stole a towel from the Czechs. Apparently they have lost theirs, but they need to leave. There were other Arabs who are more Europeanized, there are no complaints against them. They even take a knife and fork in their hands. The absence of the Germans is a bad sign. For the future, we will take hotels where the Germans live.
In short, the content of the hotel is a failure.
I'm sorry, that's just about the cons. Pluses You will read everything in the promotional booklets of the tour. Firm. Everything is true. And the pool is big and warm. And the lobby is big. And a lot of restaurants. Minigolfs, rentals, shops. In general, everything is there.
In general, 3 with a big plus, or 4 with a huge minus. -))
Have a good rest everyone.
