Of course, writing about the rest after two years is difficult, a lot could change, but I'll try... =)))
The goal was to take a break from everyone, go away and forget about the holiday salads and other salads. We went at our own peril and risk, since the hotel was new, there were construction sites nearby and....it turned out to be super!! ! Buildings were outside the territory. You could see them, but you couldn't hear them. The hotel was about 2/3 people, mostly foreigners: most of all Germans and cheerful talkative Italians. The staff pleased me with their friendliness and understanding (during a vacation, a misfortune happened in the family, it was not possible to fly back. But I saw sincere empathy for my sobbing face in the eyes of the bartenders, etc. ). The only thing I didn't like was the air conditioner in the room. Well, we are not lucky with them catastrophically !! ! But everything else is beyond praise.
Food - excellent. Only it seemed not enough fruit. Room, cleaning, beach - not to complain. On the beach, of course, private divers and others get a little bit, but if you explain it to them normally, then they won’t fit anymore. By the way, every day for about twenty times we sat chatting with the diver Wahid, a very nice boy =))

For us, a big plus was the decent remoteness of the hotel from Hurghada. This is a big plus in terms of excursions (you are taken first and you take the best places) and in terms of the purity of the sea.
The sea is a separate song. Even the locals said that this place has the most corals....and it really is. We also admired them near the shore in a mask, and took a catamaran, sailed 500 meters away and..... you are lying on the water above a huge coral reef, and the feeling that you are in space....is indescribable.
But as for the rest itself... in this case, it is for everyone! If you want silence - please! There is animation, quite active, but....it is somewhere there, it does not interfere with a quiet nap on a sun lounger =)))
Separately, about the celebration of the New Year....as they say, the European standard. A beautiful and fun program, a groovy disco, but....drinks are paid after 2 am... as a result, only Russians drink, because they are thrifty. We generally took with us plates of snacks, alcohol, sat down at the pool bar between the two buildings and a large international company celebrated until 6 am. At the same time, jokes were loudly poisoned... those who understood Russian stuck out on the balconies and giggled, and for some foreigners jokes were translated by their Russian girls. Quite funny to watch, not all Russian humor is understandable to a foreigner. =)))))
P. S. A girl contacted me half a year ago, they were going to go to this hotel and were afraid of construction sites....After the vacation, she wrote to me that the rest exceeded all expectations !! ! Even better than I painted everything in detail for her during the week....
P. S. -2... but just Olivier was not enough on New Year's Eve under the palm trees....=)))
