We chose the hotel based on the reviews. And reality exceeded expectations. As for the flight itself, this is a separate issue, but this does not apply to the hotel. In order:
1. We arrived at the hotel at about 9.30 and quickly registered, but they said that check-in was after 14.00 (by all international standards, this is the case and they have the right not to check in until that time) put on bracelets and offered to go to breakfast
2. we, like all very cunning tourists, decided to check in after breakfast, so we gave $ 5 to the administrator at the reception and we were given a room key
3. I immediately upset the view from the room a little because there was no sea view, it was a little visible from the side. And the view itself went out to some kind of production (I don’t know what it was, but there was constant noise from the power line, but it didn’t bother me, and with the balcony door closed, you can’t hear it at all)

As it turned out later, there are no rooms as such with a direct view of the sea (that is, a little visible), but a view of the pool or the street.
4. Everything worked in the room; air conditioning, TV, hair dryer, plumbing, safe (as for me it's important). Normal cosmetic repairs, although the furniture itself is a bit old, but this is the norm for Egypt, this is not Turkey. they quietly update everything, but tired furniture in almost all hotels, new is a rarity.
5. The room is clean, there is no fungus and dirt in the bathroom, etc. , the curtain in the bathroom is clean. Cleaned every day, towels changed maybe not every time, I don’t know, but again it doesn’t matter to me, I can dry myself a couple of times : ) they left a dollar every day, twisted flowers hearts (everything is as it should be : )
5. food for 5
The choice is large, everything is delicious, fruits are always, desserts for lunch and dinner are always, several types of meat, fish, soups of 2 types of broth and cream soup are also for lunch and dinner. Side dishes ok.
pasta rice, meat on the grill, everything is very tasty. The only thing missing was the seafood. But then again, who cares.
6. friendly staff
We made a couple of friends, 2 bartenders and a guy who gives out towels on the beach (oh yes, towels on the beach are also clean, free of charge, sunbeds are free). The hotel staff are great, you can see that they are trying.
7. the beach is clean, large, sandy. There is a 210 m pontoon, the sea is shallow and there are corals, but there are not many of them, the fish are the same, for people with children it’s just super, we were also happy, but to swim we need to walk a little. The bar on the beach is open from 10 to 17, as for the beginning of spring you don’t need more, at 5 o’clock the sun is already setting and you won’t sunbathe much. From the hotel building to the beach 100 meters to go through the territory
8. the hotel and the grounds are very beautiful. All with taste. 15 minutes drive from the airport. There is a Spa center, a court, a playground.
nine.

we went on some kind of excursion and the young lady from the hotel said that her camera was stolen from her, which she left on the bed, but returned a day later (again, the safe is not there for beauty, you need to understand that people earn little and the temptation to steal something is great) don't be rednecks, take 10$ for 1$ with you and leave it for tea every day, you will be treated well and there won't be any thought.
10. someone complained that they don’t leave water and shampoos, I don’t know, they left everything for us, nothing disappeared from the room. maybe it depends on the person himself, but then again, how do you feel about it, wait in response, the man who cleaned our floor, we greeted each other, smiled (before leaving, we needed a large bag to wrap the suitcase, we had scotch tape, and we this man gave) although the hotel wraps the suitcases, but we are just a little economical and why pay for wrapping if you can do it yourself)
eleven.
2 large pools (one heated) and one paddling pool bar near the pool is also available from 10 am to 5 pm
We somehow lingered after 17, drank beer, saw how they clean the pool, I repeat, they clean it well, not only the pools, but the entire territory.
12. if I'm not mistaken, there are 3 outdoor showers where you can wash off the salt after the sea
13. The dishes are clean, there were enough glasses, plates, forks, many tables in the restaurant and on the street terrace. There was always a place to sit. There are child seats
14. Vacationers Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles, Russians, Lithuanians, Italians, British but everything is ok, no one interfered with anyone
15. Animation is also ok, the guys try during the day on the beach in the evening at the hotel, maybe the tourists themselves are a little passive
16. Staff: almost everyone speaks Russian, at least a little, but if not, then their English is at the level.
17. Drinks: beer is ok, cocktails like romkola, gin tonic are ok, pure alcohol, like everywhere else, not really. The lobby bar is open from 10 am to 12 am (free of charge) and until 3 am (extra charge)
eighteen.
There is a small market across the road, souvenirs were bought there (when you buy something, bargain to death, they often overestimate the price by 2 or even 3 times)

There are also a couple of shops right next to the hotel, the prices there are also normal, we immediately thought it was cheaper on the market, but then it turned out to be almost the opposite. There are also 2 shops in the hotel itself, but they are a little more expensive (slippers were bought in Kyiv, but you can buy everything there even cheaper)
19. As for excursions: we flew through join up (this is a separate story about the company itself) and took quadrics and diving from a hotel guide, overpaid. Local guides are cheaper. We went to Cairo through a local paid $ 50 each and the hotel guide $ 110. Through the join up guides, even a little scam, they promise one thing, in reality it turns out a little different. Oh yes, they give dry rations if necessary, within an hour, just ask at the reception
20. Check-out, like everywhere else, at 12, we left at 15.00, but even after check-out, the bracelets are not cut off, everyone went to eat and drink)
21.
and from me a personal life hack for people who got burned in Egypt, there is such nonsense in their pharmacies they call Kalomil or Kalomil d, if you get burned or mosquitoes bit you go and buy this thing, it costs from 5 to 8 Egyptian pounds, but some pharmacies are near hotels sell more expensive, although near ours they bought for 7.5 pounds, a golden thing. Locals sell ointments under the guise of camel milk, in fact it is the same calomil

I wanted to write briefly about the main thing, it turned out as always, but to be honest, I didn’t have such a review when choosing a hotel. This hotel (I'm specifically talking about standard rooms) is 4 plus, up to 5 there are not enough slippers and bathrobes) a joke) a five-star hotel : )
In general, who goes for what, if you want to relax, then in 3 * you will rest with pleasure and everything will be cool,
And if you find fault with everything, then there are flaws in the Hilton.
Therefore, if someone suddenly read to the end, I wish you a pleasant stay and feel free to choose this hotel, the price corresponds to the quality. And most importantly, always remain people, if you have all inclusive, this does not mean that there are slaves around you, people like us work there : )
