I won't write much. I will add only what I have not written before. There are a few details that are important to me that may be useful to others.
1. The territory is large with many secluded corners, so if you want peace and solitude, this is just the right place.
2. The hotel is very far from civilization. For some, this is good, but on the 4th day we felt like prisoners. You can leave the hotel only by hotel taxi (40 bucks), hotel bus (7 euros) or with a tour. The bus must be booked in advance. There are a couple of flights a day. In Hurghada, the bus waits for a couple of hours and should take you back. Despite the fact that from other hotels you can get to Hurghada by any minibus for 1-2 dollars. Because the hotel is remote, you can only do shopping in Hurghada. Someone else's taxi will not be allowed on the territory of the hotel and you will have to stomp quite far. Accordingly, excursions can also be bought only from the operator, which is much more expensive with the same service. Only operators collect hundreds of tourists and arrange mass excursions for them, which is more like a farce. We were on safari. That's horrible. About 100 people were gathered in a column of ATVs and we crawled in single file after each other.

3. I would say that there is no animation in the hotel. No, of course she is, but there is not much sense from her at all. They live mainly on one beach only. At the same time, they are not very worried about what to do with vacationers. There is no animation in the evening. There is only a half hour show of visiting artists in the amphitheater. Of course there is a fan bar (this is such a disco at the bar) there is also a lobby bar and a hookah bar. It seems that there is a place to sit, but if people do not know how to amuse themselves, it remains commonplace to eat, drink and go to the room. The first days are normal, everything is new, interesting, but after three days it is no longer interesting. I was vacationing with my husband. We love to have fun and laugh. But we need leaders. The company was very lacking. But we don’t know how to pester people in order to get to know each other. So they were bored there in the evenings.
3. In my opinion, there is no point in going there with children aged 8-10. They will be bored there too. There are no slides in the pools, animation does not deal with children.
4. Separately, I want to note the gym. I liked him. The trainers are modern, new, and a pleasure to work out. And there are not many people.
5. And flies are a separate scourge. Wherever you are, you will not be bored without them. They stick on the beach, they swarm in the restaurant. It's terribly stressful.
6. Another minus is windy. The wind is quite cool and strong.
