Briefly about everything:
1. FOOD. Same thing, we stayed 10 nights. But the choice is sufficient to eat varied. Seafood was 1 time, and not very tasty. There is enough meat at lunch and in the evening, in the morning it is scarce (but it is the same everywhere). A lot of vegetables and greens, a lot of sweets, but in fact there are few fruits: grapefruits, dates, fruit salads.
In between meals, you can have a snack at the bars: sweets (pastries) in the morning, burgers, french fries, pizza in the afternoon.
2. POOLS. Clean, there is 1 heated pool, there was enough space near the pools, there were sunbeds. In addition to the standard pools (in the main part) there are 3 pools: near the 3rd building (called the distant one), a separate one with slides and a children's pool with slides (paddling pool).

3. BARS. Only 5 bars: dining room, lobby, building 3, beach, pools. Glasses 300-350 ml, plastic, but clean. They make simple cocktails, up to the desired result (get drunk, sweet, tasty, fresh, "surprise", etc. ). At the bar near the 3rd building, for reasons that there are few people there (for some reason no one wants to live there, like far away), you didn’t have to go for alcohol at all - they brought it themselves (they are bored), so one of our favorite bars, at least there and did not live. After sunset, only the Lobby is open, and even though the rules are until 12:00, we took alcohol there at 3 in the morning, everything is ok.
4. AQUAPARK. Actually there is no water park. There are 3 slides where you can have a great time a couple of times. Nearby is a mini water park (slides for 3) with a separate pool for small children. Works by the hour (from 100 to 12 and from 15 to 17). There is also a bar there, but did not work, perhaps due to the small number of tourists.
5. SEA. The entrance to the sea to the knees is normal (suitable for children). The pontoon is long, it's decent to go to it (300 meters along the beach). And most importantly - a lively, bright, incredibly diverse reef with a bunch of different fish. I advise masks and do not take any excursions with diving. Were on an excursion to Ras Mohamed (one of the most beautiful reefs in the world), and so near the hotel is no worse than 100%.
6. NUMBER. In the room only spent the night, bathed, changed clothes. The TV wasn't even turned on. But tourists rested with us, who complained about rust, dust, fungus, etc. We, even if it was all, did not notice. The air conditioner is old but worked great. The beds are very normal - normal mattresses.
7. CLEANING. They clean up badly if you do not leave bonuses (in principle, as elsewhere). But the floor was washed, the dust was wiped (we did not see it). When we wanted to change the towels, we left a bonus and threw it on the floor (such a rule there): everything was changed properly.
8. INTERNET. The Internet is available only at the reception, but it is not always possible even to send a message in viber. I advise you to buy a SIM card. We paid $12 for 4 gigs. It is possible and cheaper - friends paid 10 for 6 gigs. But be sure to check your rate.
9. TERRITORY. The territory is clean, decent, but no frills: everything is simple, green. The beach is clean and cleaned every day.

10. ANIMATION. This time it was rather weak (not the first time we rested here). But water aerobics, volleyball, darts, team games, yoga, zumba - everything was there. In the evening entertainment on "3", but there is something to do for people who just take a break from everything. Almost every day, people are brought to the clubs for money. Music plays all day.
11. STAFF. In principle, responsive, adequate, in a good mood. Help was not denied. But acquaintances had disagreements about the work of the staff.
12. WATER. Bring a bottle of 0.6 per person daily. You can pour whatever you want into an empty bottle: water, juice (juices are not very good), etc.
13. WEATHER. In March, during the windy season, it is really windy, the hotel is not in the bay. But during the wind season, the weather during the day is from 19 to 29 (in the terrible sun, even 19 is hot), at night it is cooler, they put on warm sweaters, jeans, crosses, but they always sat on the street. Who loves the heat - it is better to look for a quieter bay.
Far from the Old City, Naama or Soho, be prepared to look for how to get there (transport only)
14. INFRASTRUCTURE. At the exit from the hotel there are a couple of cafes, a small market, ATMs, pharmacies (if you go to the right towards RIXOS), as well as shopping centers, George Clooney's store (everything in a row and cheap, but you have to bargain) - this is to the left.
Free advice: not only Panthenol helps with burnt skin, but also Aloe oil (clear gel) and Calamil (bought at a pharmacy for 1.5-2 ye).
RESULT: an excellent budget hotel, although it is not worth its 5 stars, but in terms of money it is cheaper than most 4 *, although it has a lot of advantages. If you are after chic, brilliance and excesses - you are not here. But we will definitely come here again in the case of the same pricing policy.
