Transfer from Hurghada to the hotel was quite fast and not tiring. At the hotel we were hospitably greeted, offered a cocktail and very quickly placed. In the room we were waiting for a plate of fruit and comfort. The tour of the hotel exceeded our expectations. Hilton, as always, turned out to be on top: excellent service at the reception, numerous bars by the pools and on the beach, excellent cuisine, which was very unusual for Egypt. All dishes prepared were of high quality.
Disadvantages: you should not take a room with a sea view, since from the level of the 2nd floor you can see a narrow strip of the sea 500 meters away. Therefore, we believe that it is enough to take a room overlooking the pool. The sea is far enough away, but the hotel runs every 5 minutes a train, delivering to the sea. The beach is equipped with good umbrellas and sunbeds, but direct entry into the sea is prohibited, as there are corals, to enter the water and snorkeling, you need to walk along the beach to the right 200-300 meters.
The dive center on the hotel map is presented in building 11, in fact it is located on the beach in the form of a temporary wooden structure. And it is a rather dull sight, not inspiring confidence. When talking with a representative of the dive center, they could not offer anything special, except for visiting 5-6 dive sites. I think diving enthusiasts should look for another dive center.

It seemed rather strange that there were no toilets in the public areas near the 4 pools. Or maybe we didn't find them? : )
One of the major drawbacks of the room is the very noisy air conditioner. And after contacting the help desk of the hotel, this reason was not eliminated.
One of, and perhaps the only, shortcomings of the restaurant was completely blunt table knives. Which in general does not spoil the positive impression of excellent and fast service.
Bottom line: we recommend this hotel for lovers of a good relaxing holiday! And this is exactly the place where you want to return.
