1. Distance from Hurghada - 25 minutes by bus.
2. A ticket from the tour operator Tez Tour - local guides are great! ! Buses are clean and comfortable. The tour operator offers a free tour to Hurghada for those who wish. No one scares or forces you to buy excursions. They give very good discounts on excursions.
3. Rooms - The hotel has two receptions, one for aqua rooms, the second in the main building for the "Dune" and "Lagoon" rooms. We rested in the aquanomer. The room was good, bright, clean, certainly not zero, but good enough. Additionally, the reception did not pay for a good room, but other vacationers paid and lived next to us in neighboring rooms. I don't know, maybe we got lucky. When buying a tour on the spot, you can immediately choose the Dune number, it is a little more expensive than the aqua number. But, the hotel will have one nuance between these rooms, namely in the food system

4. Meals - What is the difference, except for the bracelets (in the aqua gray bracelet) vacationers in the aqua room had a separate main restaurant in the main building "Prince Karim" (it was located to the left of the other main restaurant "El Safaga"), which was for other rooms . We once went to this restaurant, it seemed to us that the choice of food is poorer here, and we went to "El Safaga", which is bright and large in interior and there is much more choice of food. Managers let everyone through, maybe because there were not many vacationers. There was only one moment when A LOT of LOCAL people came for three days before Easter! ! (to be honest, it was uncomfortable with them, because they differ from Europeans in behavior, manners), then they didn’t give alcohol at the bar in this restaurant, they said that you were supposed to drink alcohol at the Prince Karim restaurant. But that was only once, it never happened again. The food is very tasty, especially sweets))) a lot of vegetables and fruits, several meat and other dishes. We bought an all inclusive ticket, alcohol could be drunk around the clock, but there was only one time to eat from 17:00 to 19:00, when you can’t take anything from food anywhere, but it was ok, because at that time we went to the room being prepared for dinner and some rest. I would like to note that the coffee is very tasty in the lobby in the bar near the reception.
5. The territory and the beach - a very large area, green, a huge number of staff working on courtship, you can walk in the evening. On the territory of the hotel there is a water park (17 slides), as a rule, local families like to relax in it, vacationers from the hotel are rarely there). The beach is very huge, clean, there were no crowds of people. The sea is very clean and shallow enough in length, which is a big plus for families with children, there were also coral islands where you could go with a mask and look at various beautiful fish.
6. Animators - the children's club works very well, there are sports games: volleyball, darts, boccia, aqua aerobics, belly dance, yoga, stretching. Also, there is minigolf, where one round is free.
7. Souvenirs - the hotel has a shopping area, everything is there, but they don't give big discounts. True, it may depend on who is trading how. Turkish delight - 2 dollars, halva - 3-5 dollars, a cup - 5-10 dollars. We liked the store in the nearby Sunrise Hotel, you can bargain there))) Also, it helps to make a good discount if you know a couple of phrases in Arabic, it makes them very happy and surprised.
In general, the hotel is very good and I will recommend it to my friends.
