Were in September 2008. Good hotel. Settled in a room near the beach (nothing paid). The staff does not know Russian, except for certain words, but is already starting to learn it. There are few Russian speakers: up to 10 people.
Beach: towels are normal, sometimes they were old, but they looked clean. Free sunbeds are always available on the beach and near the pool.
Sea: entrance from the pier, depth and reef immediately begin. Variety of big and small fish. We saw an octopus right next to the pier. Once a flock of dolphins swam up. It was often windy and entry into the sea from the pier was prohibited. On such days, it was left to swim in the lagoon on the beach, but the same fish live there, and not very beautiful corals, so swimming is boring. Entrance only in shoes. The lagoon is shallow, good for children. It was possible to go to the beach of a neighboring hotel, there is a larger lagoon.

Room: a normal room (air conditioning, refrigerator, TV with one Russian channel, hair dryer), cleaned every day, but you can see little left, only once they made us a crocodile. Nothing was missing from the room. It was funny that the janitor folded our clothes neatly and washed our glasses.
Food: the first days it strikes with variety and variety, but on the 6th day it becomes sick from eating. Some days there were interesting dishes from the Italian chef. From 17-18 on the beach pancakes with chocolate, very tasty. During the day in the bar only buns. Drinks: cola, fanta, sprite, yupi, beer, not tasty wine.
Entertainment: animation only for Italians (well annealed), shows for Italians in the evening, sometimes belly dancing, once a disco, there is a gym, massages, shops in the hotel.
If you leave the hotel and cross the road, there is a small supermarket, bank, shops. Seems cheaper.
Excursions: Our operator Pegasus did not have a large selection of excursions, compared with the Tez-tour more. The prices are high. Luxor-90. Diving - 2 dives 90. There is a dive center on site, there is a Russian dive master Alla (very eccentric). For beginners, I advise you to take 2 dives without any training, since with training one dive disappears, but there is no sense, you will only see the sandy bottom. A good excursion to the Dolphin Bay, but our operator did not offer it.
We met a couple from Moscow, a girl from Krasnoyarsk, a couple from Belarus and we got such an international team (we are from Kyiv). Hello.
In general, a hotel for a lazy holiday, so that you don’t get bored, you often need to go on excursions or take a large company.
It takes about 2 and a half hours to get from Hurghada to the hotel, depending on the number of hotels where you need to bring people.
On the way back, our plane was delayed for 8 hours, but Pegasus paid us only dinner, we had to pay extra 30 euros for a room for 6 hours.
