They chose very responsibly, they directly made a sign with the pros and cons, since it was the first time in Egypt and I wanted not to spoil my first impression. Of the advantages of the water park, food, cleanliness and cleaning, room, view from the window, bonus from the hotel, unlimited towels, transfer, peace and quiet. And from the minuses the work of guides and animators. And now in detail. We arrived at the hotel at 7 in the morning, they said they would soon settle, but when it was not clear. But the dollars decide, they immediately gave bracelets and sent them to breakfast, without this maneuver, breakfast is not allowed. The number was given somewhere around 10. I really liked that the windows overlooked the sea and the island of Tiran, at night everything was illuminated by the moon, romantically shorter. They offered various sweets, and there were shrimp, and rolls, and sweets of the highest class, but everything somehow quickly became boring and, apart from french fries, I didn’t want anything else. The drinks are diluted, unusual for unprepared tourists, but the beer is cool, bottled. A la carte needs to be ordered a couple of days in advance, usually there are few people there, and the food is almost the same as in a regular dinner. But it was worth giving 5 dollars and overeating shrimp. The first, second and dessert were hard to eat. And I also want to mention fried liver and ice cream in a bar near the water park. All bartenders are positive, polite and understanding =). The cleaners cleaned the room every day and every day they put one and a half liter bottles of water, but if we did not have time to use the previous ones, then they did not put extra ones. We forgot to hang a label on the door so that they would not clean it, since we were sleeping, they woke us up a little. The air conditioner is very loud, it interferes with sleep, and without it at the end of May it is unbearably hot.
Half of the pools and bars are closed. The workload of the hotel was visible only in the canteen.
The water park is not bad, but the same thing, half of the slides did not work. They kept an eye on safety, they ran around unfolding the umbrella, the circles were well inflated, they helped to fold. For children, there are separate pools with sea waves and slides, interesting, we even wanted to go ourselves))

The animators offered the same yoga and water volleyball program every day. on the projector, adults without children are so bored, besides, the program is somewhere until 10 o’clock and mosquitoes bite so much that you can’t sit through. On the territory there is a paid hookah for $ 5 (you also need to take a mosquito spray) . . There is nothing to do except sit in a bar in this hotel. And about the guides from Join Up . . Discount on excursions only at a meeting with the guide, on the second day after arrival. Carry on their points where everything is 5 times more expensive. They get offended when they don't want to go on and their "free tours" if you know what I mean. It takes an hour in the morning and in the evening to gather a group and transfer to hotels. It takes a long time to load the bus. Same confusion with carriers. You stand waiting for your tour, no one says that the tour is being postponed and which bus should be. In general, if you do not find fault, the rest in the hotel is not bad.
