We returned from the hotel 3 days ago.
The hotel is excellent, the service is on top, all issues are resolved the first time, the rooms are chic, plumbing, furniture, etc. everything is new, LCD TV 32 inches. Water is cold and hot around the clock.
Towels and linens were changed almost every day.
Soap, shampoo added as needed, but it is better to take with you.
The territory is green, large, in the mornings some even ran.
A huge pool, a very bizarre configuration with bridges and a bar, you can arrange small swims when the sea is stormy.
The food is varied, every day 1-2 new dishes, though not enough fruits, mostly apples, watermelon, melons, unripe dates.
Beer, cocktails, whiskey, wine red, white and rose without restrictions, only through the bar, but you can take as much as you like.
Tipping can be given, you can not, in any case, there was no particular zeal on the part of the staff.
There are practically no "ours" in the hotel, mostly Italians, Scandinavians, Nenets, British.

There is a pontoon, but it is high, a ladder is lowered from it for launching into the water, if the sea of ​ ​ course allows, and since the sea is open, it is mostly stormy, therefore there is almost always a red or black flag, for 14 days there was only 2 days a white flag.
You can swim with a red flag, but it is better to immediately swim away from the reef, because the waves can drag you through the corals. During a storm, it is better to "swim" in the coves of the neighboring hotel Resta Reef, located to the left of the pontoon. Although small, but without risk, especially for those who are not a very good swimmer, and there are enough fish in them, we even saw a large moray eel 1.5-2m and a neon stingray. You can walk along the reefs, in special shoes, if you stand facing the sea, it is better to go to the right of the hotel there are no hotels and you can, if you wish, along the sea
reach Abu Dabab.
The reef in terms of corals and living creatures pulls a maximum of 4, in Sharm the reefs and living creatures are much steeper, the depth is decent 25-30 meters, immediately behind the reef at a distance of 20-50m, from the edge of the reef.
I did not like it in Abu Dabab, a very dirty beach, a lot of people - Yalta.
Internet - WIFI is available in the lobby, only ADSL in the rooms - so take a special cable with you. The cost of 0.5 hour - 5 euros, 1 hour - 7 euros, the activation code is valid only for one visit.
