The hotel is located on the outskirts of Hurghada. You can get to Hurghada by hotel bus - $ 10 per person, or by taxi $ 35 per car. The hotel has numerous stalls, but for example, bathing slippers cost $15 there, in Hurghada they bought for $6, a mask at the hotel $35, in Hurghada 10-15, similarly with other goods, including everyday goods. So stock up on everything you can at home.
The room is ordinary, TV, mini-bar, shower-too small in my opinion, there is a balcony. They cleaned up without much zeal, even with tips, sometimes they forgot to put drinking water on, although they lined the beds with swans and changed towels (but the hotel is also declared as 5 stars), but they forgot about shower gels... in general, cleaning there is a C grade.
The sea is unusually beautiful, right next to the beach there are corals, a lot of fish, hedgehogs, entry only in slippers is desirable, I saw many people with bandaged feet, and there are plenty of hedgehogs at a shallow depth - you can easily step on. There are problems with sunbeds on the beach, because our enterprising compatriots managed to buy good places and sunbeds here too (you need to give money to those guys in the booth that give out towels - they occupied the sunbeds), well, or get up at 6 in the morning, who can not sleep. If you are not a lark and had breakfast slowly, then you need to prepare for the fact that you will wander in search of a sunbed.

I was pleased with the gym (who loves these activities, bring sports shoes), the animators who offered both gymnastics and aqua aerobics and dancing, in general, are not at all boring during the day. And in the evening... the performances are boring, two visits were enough to not go there anymore.
Now food... for many years for the first time remembered the Soviet Union... for a long time I did not stand in lines. The hotel has a clear lack of dishes and staff, it all starts with the fact that you first have to wait until clean plates are taken out, while where they are always given out by people and a flea market. Then the queue for normal dishes such as pancakes, scrambled eggs, fried meat, pasta!! ! pasta is in short supply, I'm shocked. True sausages, chicken, sole, rice, boiled vegetables - you can take all this without a queue. They have a problem with cups and saucers, I managed to wait for a teaspoon only once. They don’t have time to clean the tables, they had to go for the appliances themselves, in recent days it was impossible to wait for clean appliances. In general, everything would be fine if it were not for the mess in the restaurant. When we went on a boat trip, we were taken for flippers to a hotel in Hurghada, and so there people swam at the pier, where a bunch of boats and oil floats, well, I thought that then we had exactly five stars))))) . So if you are patient, not picky, ready to stand in line for your money, you will enjoy the clean and beautiful sea and a pretty quiet place. I personally don’t go there anymore, believe me, it can be much better!
