We traveled as a family of 4 (2 adults, children 4 and 11 years old). It took exactly 2 hours by minibus from Sharm Airport with one five-minute stop. We arrived at the hotel at 17:00, registration at the reception took 15-20 minutes. The porter brought things to the room, showed everything, received a dollar for it and left satisfied. On the first evening, they called home from the room (to Tatarstan for a quick call it turned out 4.4 $), got confused with the safe (the problem was solved in the morning), gave the present $ 5 (there was no less). Then we got acquainted with the neighbors, went with them to the bridge, looked at the fish (there is a lionfish, a needle fish, a barracuda, some small fish like a sprat and 3 more types of some fish). The neighbor said that he saw a stingray once, but I did not see it. About the room. The room is small but cozy. The room has one large bed, one single bed, chests of drawers, 2 bedside tables, two wicker chairs in the room and 2 plastic chairs on the balcony, a wicker table, air conditioning, alarm clock, telephone, TV (2 Russian channels),
in the corridor there are cabinets, a minibar (every day 2 bottles of water, but if there is a bottle that has been started, they don’t change it), a safe, a hairdryer in the bathroom, a shower area, towels were changed every day, shampoo and conditioner were added every day, linen change every other day. Territory. A lot of greenery, trees, flowering plants, many birds (5-6 species), 2 swimming pools, a golf course, croquet, tennis, ping-pong, billiards (everything is free, but for 1 hour), there is a hookah bar, a pool bar , by the beach, by the animation site, several shops, main restaurant, Italian restaurant (fries, pizza, hamburger, etc. ), kids club, playground on the beach. There are many more flies and there are mosquitoes. Nutrition. For us, there were no questions, no problems with stomachs and bellies. Fruits included oranges, tangerines, limes, melons, dates, figs, guavos, pineapples, apples, and mangoes (the last three are sliced). Bakery products of 10 types. Desserts of 20 types if not more.
With meat, too, there was plenty to choose from, there were 2-3 types of fish, seafood. Drinks: juices (apple, guavo, mango, orange), cola, sprite, tea, coffee, milk, beer, red and white wine. The rest of the alcohol is not interested, so I do not know. On the beach from 13.30 ice cream (delicious). Beach. The sunbeds are good, there is enough for everyone at any time, but if you want to have several sunbeds nearby, you will have to take hours at 7 in the morning. I put some thing on each sunbed and that's it, there will be no problems, things will lie at least until the evening, but in the evening they will be removed, because they begin to put things in order on the beach. In addition to sun loungers on the beach, there are large umbrellas, a bridge, volleyball, massage, a lot of trash cans, each umbrella has an ashtray. The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is a small pebble, and then sand. There are fish near the bridge and on the right side of it, 50 meters deep, but there are not many. If you want to see more, you can go on a boat trip or go to the left side for about 1 km.

There is some kind of base there, and then a hotel, but in front of the hotel you need to enter the sea in shoes, because the corals begin already at a depth to the waist, but the most beauty begins after 100 meters. Masks and flippers can be taken on the beach for 5 $ for 3 hours, water sports on the beach for a fee. I warn you that with shells and corals (even with old ones) there may be problems at customs. And yet, the sun sets behind the mountains already at 16-16.30. Staff. Constantly busy with business, but I saw a dead sparrow that lay for 2 days on the path, then it was removed to the side, it was removed completely only on the 3rd day.
During the stay, they found two bracelets, they used one when my daughter lost hers, they wanted to use the other on the last day, because we left the hotel at 15 o’clock, and the room is rented until 12 o’clock and the bracelet is cut off, i. e. you stop being their own, including in the restaurant. But they were afraid in vain. We had a quiet lunch in the restaurant and no one even paid attention to whether there was a bracelet or not.
And about the animation. To be honest, she's weak. The program of the evening: a children's disco for 30 minutes, then a guy singing (the same voice, the same repertoire got tired on the third day), however, the first 4-5 days were sung by women from tourists, then the animators tried to humor, but this caused only children are interested, and not all of them. True, a group performed twice (5 guys and 3 girls) with folk dances and a dance with skirts - it was interesting.
For information: beach shoes in the hotel cost $7-8, in the Nuweiba market $2, masks in the hotel $20-60, up to $40 in the market, magnets in the hotel $3, you can buy them in the market for $1. Taxis can be called from the reception. We went 5 adults. and 2 children for $20. After 2 hours, the taxi again takes to the hotel.
In general, there were few Russian speakers in the hotel, there were English, Norwegians, Czechs, Italians, Arabs. True, towards the end, Russian speech began to be heard more often, perhaps. from Ukraine.
In short, we did not regret for a minute that we chose this hotel!
