The overall impression of the hotel is extremely positive. Located 40 minutes drive from Hurghada airport. Well maintained area and beach. There is green grass and palm trees, but there is little shade from them.
We arrived at 21:00 local time. The booked and paid (back in February) Standard 2 + 1 room was not among the free ones, so we were offered to stay in the Chalet (room 1175, exit to the backyard, first floor) for the night, and, if you wish, stay in it for the entire period - Had to pay extra $20 per day. We refused. Two-room suite, two bathrooms, two TVs, one double bed and two single beds. Safe, air conditioning, drinking water, electric kettle, tea brews, sugar, porcelain mugs.
The next day, before dinner, we moved to our Standard (room 1279, exit to the backyard, second floor, full balcony). Number, naturally one-room, with a double bed. There is a bathroom, air conditioning, TV,

a safe, and all the tea frills described above, drinking water. A baby cot was provided at our request within an hour. The room is clean, the TV shows 5 Russian-language channels and many others, sockets do not fall out, there are no ants, tiles on the floor, a huge mirror in the bathroom, soap accessories and water were replenished as needed (4 times in 10 days). Internet is paid, $5 per day or $25 per week. Didn't check the quality. By the way, they took shape without any problems, and very quickly, thanks to the employees at the reception, who, by the way, speak and understand Russian well. Special thanks to Natalia!
The food was a special delight for my wife and child. Yes, and I really liked it. Lots, no, LOTS of baked goods and sliced ​ ​ fruit. Fresh vegetables, cheeses, a couple of types of sausages, stews, rice, sausages, butter, croutons, mashed soups, omelettes, pasta, french fries, grilled meats, chicken and fish in batter and much more. Have never been hungry.
Special thanks for the morning omelette to Said! From drinks - beer, whiskey, rum, cola, orange juice, cold fruit tea and hot drinks from cappuccino machines, Nesquik, etc. The choice was good. a couple of times I came across a glass with a broken edge, and once an unwashed glass and a spoon, there’s nothing more to complain about.
The staff is quite friendly, for the entire vacation only one "receptionist" did not understand Russian, but a Russian speaker was quickly found. Questions were answered clearly, there were no difficulties with this. Cleaning in the rooms on demand - the corresponding sign was hung on the door handle. In addition to the cleaning itself, the stock of drinking bottled water was replenished (two bottles of 1.5 liters each) and wash tubes. We brought our own toothpaste and brushes.
Sufficiently spacious territory, there were always free tables on the terrace, a nice sandy beach. Very annoying flies, despite the flycatchers and the nightly fumigation of the territory.

The paths are paved with stone and tiles, several paved paths. Pleasant green lawns with mowed grass. Fountain and small fountain on the terrace behind the hotel. There are palm trees and bushes, tables and chairs for relaxing and snacking. There is a hookah. As many as four pools - the largest and deepest is located between the terrace and the beach, there is also a small children's and a bar. Jacuzzi (heated) and another pool on the west side of the main building of the hotel, there is also a mini-bar. Pools are open from 7 am to 7 pm, then they are closed for sanitation. The water in the pools doesn't really smell like anything. Bars are open from 10 to 23, with breaks for lunch and dinner. The assortment is sufficient for a beach snack - hot dogs, vegetable cuts, burgers and drinks, including spirits and packaged juices. There is also a bar in the lobby, not far from the reception. Dress code in the lobby is mandatory - there are special signs, no wet swimsuits, jogging in shorts, etc.
sandy beach,
quite long, though there are not enough umbrellas with sun loungers for everyone. This is due to "early booking", which is officially prohibited. A certain person will come and leave his towel on the sunbed, like he took it. And then he disappears for several hours, and there is an empty sunbed "neither to himself, nor to people. " But I knocked out this wedge with the appropriate method, so I did not experience any problems. The bathing area is fenced with buoys, the maximum depth is 2 meters, no more. The bottom is sandy, barefoot is a pleasure, but pebbles also come across. It even has its own mini-reef with corals and fish - very beautiful, and not far from the shore.
This is our first family trip abroad. We really enjoyed staying here. If we go to Egypt again, only in the Old Palace.
