Since we were going on vacation in the winter, I wanted the hotel to have a water park, well, or at least a couple of slides and heated pools, otherwise the weather is unpredictable and it may happen that they will not let you into the sea. The normal price for the tour plus the availability of the water park is equal to Coral Sea. There are no comments on the check-in, we were at the hotel in the evening, we settled quickly, we organized a snack, thank you. They didn’t change the room and didn’t pay extra, they stayed in where they settled. In principle, the room is not bad, it will do for an overnight stay. Cleaning, water in the room, replenishment of the tea and coffee corner, change of towels - daily.
A beautiful well-groomed territory, it is pleasant to walk, it is clean, they keep order, the bushes are cut, watered. Warm pool and water park pleased. Lots of good slides, lots of fun. My daughter was delighted and so were we.
As for the sea, well. More suitable for small children, sooo small and sooo long knee-deep. There are practically no fish, I read about it in the reviews, but I hoped that they were exaggerating. But alas... as if not in Sharm, but again in Hurghada in the Titanic)). Well, this problem was solved by ordering a boat trip with diving and snorkeling, even though they saw enough fish near the living coral reef, it’s very cool. Then we went to the Ras-muhamed reserve, snorkeling was on the program, so there was no shortage of fish)). They didn’t take it from our tour guide, it’s expensive, it’s much cheaper from the locals, and given that there are three of us and two excursions, we saved normally, there was enough for fruit and shrimp at the old market)).

There is animation, they invite you to participate, but we are not big fans, we went to evening programs a couple of times, it’s normal.
The food pleased. Good choice and tasty, meat and fish are excellent, pastries and desserts too. I liked the wine, we didn’t take stronger drinks, I think, like everywhere else in Yegi. In the bar of the water park you can have a snack with fast food, drinks in all bars. For fruit, what was missing - they bought it themselves. Sausages "g", well, there is no normal sausage in Egypt. But in general, there are no complaints about nutrition.
Internet. There is free Wi-Fi in the reception area, but we bought a local operator card to be in touch 24 hours. If I'm not mistaken, 3 or 3.5 GB is somewhere around 100 pounds.

To the Old Market with half an hour drive, paid 80 pounds one way (taxi drivers on the street).
Our conclusions. Large, beautiful area, good water park, friendly staff, but very shallow sea without living creatures. The hotel can be recommended, but next time we will consider something else.
