Rested with my husband and I, just remembered that I wanted to write a review)
In Egypt for the first time, before that only Turkey. Hotel first from the airport, min. 10 to go. We arrived at about 10, check-in at 14. We were immediately put on bracelets, we changed and went to the beach and to the bar) Previously, we were not asked to settle. When checking into a room, they were ready to pay, we decided to see what they would give for free first. And they didn't fail. The room was given right in front of the beach, as far as possible from the pool, where the music is very loud all day and especially in the evening. For joy, the suitcase porter was given $ 5) so instead of money he asked for a chocolate bar or cigarettes.


The room is clean, the furniture is new. Just keep in mind the girls - it is very dark, it is possible to paint in the evening only by removing the table lampshade from the lamp and holding it near the face. Who has long hair, take your hair dryer, I suffered, the hotel one is very weak. Slippers, no robes. You can insert a USB flash drive into the TV, we took it with us, with films.
The beach is clean. There was enough space for everyone, but not under umbrellas. Shallow from the shore, children frolic. The pontoon is not big, they give a circle and fins for free. Hire masks and snorkels. The sea is just a fairy tale. The coral is beautiful and there are many different fish. Lionfish are found near the shore, they are poisonous. Be sure to look and remember what they look like.
Meals at the restaurant and bar on the beach with burgers. Lots of food, we weren't hungry. But... tasteless, insipid. This is for me, and my husband, for example, liked it. But what my husband did not like was beer, which is poured in 150 g, 2 cups in one hand. Is a mockery. My husband and I went to the bar every time to take at least 4 to 150)) The beer itself is not bad. I drank a gin and tonic, quite decent.
The staff are all polite, which was very surprising, waiting for rudeness on reviews of Egypt. Everyone speaks Russian at least a little. And when my husband told everything he knew about Copt Christians (there are half a staff of the hotel there), they began to pour us without a queue and 4 glasses in each hand)))
The contingent is mainly Ukrainian, a few Arabs and Italians. There are no Russians. Animation in the evening belly dancing, Miss Hotel contests, etc.
The location of the hotel is excellent. Min 10 walk to Soho and takes a bus in the evening. There's a party there in the evening. There is a duty free shop, we bought martinis and cigarettes there, but a little more expensive than at the airport. We went to the old city by taxi for $10 for four.
Protect tourists at the highest level. The sea is patrolled by boats, helicopters fly. At the entrance to the hotel there is a checkpoint, military men with Kalashnikovs and dogs. At the entrance there is a metal detector and screening if you squeak) We really liked it, we felt safe.

We did not consider this hotel due to the low rating. Recommended by a travel agent. The fact is that the owner and all the staff have changed there, and repairs were made a couple of years ago, as the staff told us. A low rating due to old reviews. In general, for 1 thousand dollars the hotel is excellent. I needed a coral with fish, a location in the city to walk around and security. All of this is a 10. And I put 8 for tasteless food and beer in tiny glasses 2 in one hand. I would recommend this hotel especially for first time travellers.
P. S. Do not open your mouth in the shower, do not sing songs : ))) I swallowed water, it was bad for 2 days...
