To date, this is the best hotel we have visited so far. Check-in had to wait, but the washers were ready for this, putting bathing suits in their hand luggage, and our vacation began in the morning. Changed clothes in the toilet room, a little uncomfortable, but these are trifles. We fell in love with the hotel at first sight, the buildings themselves, the territory, pools, beaches, everything looks very harmonious, very beautiful, unusual. Although safety shoes are recommended, we rarely used them, only when we went to wander over the rocks, otherwise we mostly swam on the sandy beach. Separate odes in honor of the reef, it's great that the hotel has its own "home" reef, beautiful corals, fish, a lot of different animals, the water is clean, warm, for me it was a discovery, because always rested in the winter and the water was not so warm)). The beaches are well equipped, there are enough places, there are toilets, showers, bars, towel exchange (card system), and you can change them as needed, and not once a day, as was the case in other hotels. The sunbeds are wooden, and the pools are plastic.
The food was very pleased, a lot of different goodies, especially a good selection of desserts, my weakness)), it is not possible to try everything. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are varied; Liked the atmosphere, service and food. Accustomed to UPI, in previous hotels, they were pleasantly surprised that the juices are packaged, very tasty. They practically did not drink alcohol, a glass of wine for dinner, and sometimes beer.
Although we were not interested in animation, everything looks interesting from the outside, the guys are positive, funny, since they were at the evening show in the amphitheater, it was held in English. language, maybe we were so “lucky”, or always like that, I don’t know. Well, this time Luxor fulfilled an old dream, I don’t know when we will get to Hurghada again, next time we want to try Sharm, so the tour was originally planned. They hired a guide from a tour operator only on the first trip due to inexperience, then switched to local organizers. Luxor impressed and conquered, it's so cool to literally touch history, ancient civilization, not see it in the picture, but touch it, breathe dust into yourself stories…

The Internet was completely managed by the hotel, in the lobby, where we often hung out, the signal is good, and on the beach it’s okay to send messages or photos.
An excellent hotel, although it is being renovated, it does not interfere with rest, the staff are wonderful guys, attentive and smiling, the girls of the guest relation have always helped in some matters, you can count on advice and support, thanks to the chefs and waiters, to all those who tried their hardest make our stay comfortable. Thanks Citadel! 5 points out of 5!
