As for a 4-ki very good hotel.
Beautiful area, fabulous in every way. Lots of entertainment for adults and children. Great water park.
The food is very varied, a large selection of dishes and fruits too.
But juices, like everywhere else (even in fives), yuppies. That's why I don't recommend it for children. After a while, the children begin to sprinkle.
Also from the drink there is cola, fanta, sprite, many types of different teas, instant coffee.
In bars (Lobby, Columbus, La Veranda, etc. ) you can order brewed coffee and cappuccino (free of charge).
Even in the Columbus bar they make (free) milkshakes for children.
Ice cream is given in several places at once (in one of the children's aqua zones (and there are two large ones) from 10-00 to 17-30, but only for children) and in a bar near the main restaurant Cave di Roi. And on some days during dinner they also gave ice cream in the main restaurant.
In general, there are four restaurants: the main Cave di Roi, Italian, Asian, Mediterranean.

The largest selection of dishes in the main restaurant. But that's where most of the people are. Sometimes there are no free tables, then you have to either wait or go to another restaurant. Personally, we did not wait, we went to another, fortunately, there is a choice in this.
Water in all bars and restaurants can be taken in unlimited quantities, and plus, the refrigerator in the room is replenished daily according to the number of people living in the room.
A bus goes to the beach every 30 minutes, starting at 8-00 (it says Morgana) from the stop near the reception, where Shuttle Bus is written, since the beach is located on the territory of another Beach Albatros hotel. You can, in principle, walk on foot, not very far, but you have to cross the road.
Very convenient entry into the sea (which made me and the child very happy). The depth increases gradually, the bottom is mixed with sand and corals. It is convenient to swim for both children and adults.
The beach of this hotel is on the right side of the elevator, there were always enough free sunbeds, although the sunbeds are already old, there are broken ones, but more or less the norm. The bar on the beach, where you can drink and eat something for vacationers from this Aqua Blue hotel, is also on the right side almost at the end of our beach, closer to the stone bridge and the pier.
Daytime animation takes place near the wave pool (the animation schedule is also posted there) and on the beach.
At 19-00 for children they turn on a cartoon (on the screen in the water park behind the adult green slide "Tsunami"). Despite the fact that there are also many Russian-speaking tourists in the hotel, as well as various other nationalities, the cartoon for children was shown only in English. But children hardly know English so well, even adults do not know it all (well, except for English tourists, they are also present there, by the way).
at 20-15, as expected, Mini-disco and then an evening show (the venue alternated, then after the children's cartoon in the same place in the water park, then in the courtyard of the main building).

The hotel also has a pharmacy (opposite the main building, reception), a shop with chocolate and all sorts of souvenirs, and there you can buy special slippers for the sea for 5 dollars. (this store is located near the slides where Niagara Falls is).
Oriental all sorts of sweets and other things can be bought by leaving the hotel and turning left to walk a couple of meters in the supermarket "247". Well, or by driving to the Old Market (it's not far).
Everywhere it is more profitable to pay with Egyptian pounds. Since the official course 1 USD. = 6 Egyptian. pounds. And in all stores (and even Tez-tour guides) they recalculate the price of 1 dollar. = 5 Egyptian. pounds.
Therefore, I advise tourists to immediately find a bank or an exchanger and exchange some amount for Egypt. pounds.
When settling, they didn’t take money from me, they immediately gave me a room in the main building on the second floor. The coolest accommodation. I advise. I do not recommend the first floor to anyone. Vacationers said that all sorts of insects climb into the room (some vacationers said that they had a problem in the room with bedbugs (they lived on the first floor).
I personally did not encounter this during my vacation, fortunately.
Of the minuses:
- already old furniture in the rooms, needs a major overhaul.
- the cleaning in the rooms is so-so, even despite the fact that you constantly leave money to the cleaner (but there was such a magic phone number 883 where Russian-speaking tourists could contact with any questions and everything was resolved immediately. As a result, in two weeks I was replaced by three cleaner : -)
- a very weak Mini-Club on the territory of the hotel, few of the children wanted to go there a second time, but the Mini-Club at the Beach Albatros Hotel (this is where the beach is) the children liked, the children's animator Katya is a young and active girl who knew how to entertain the children and get them interested.
- I didn’t like the system for issuing and changing beach towels, or rather, simply its absence, it’s messy, it would be better if there was a Towel card, like in almost all hotels.

In general, the rest was very pleasant.
