My husband and I were primarily interested in the sea and the reef, which is why we chose this hotel. There were no problems with the check-in, everything went quite quickly, our room was normal, everything is certainly not new, but in good functional condition, nothing has broken all the time, the cleaning is average, it could have been better. We always found two free sunbeds on the beach. The entrance from the shore is generally convenient, only shallow, but it’s just fine for children, I don’t think this is a minus, we easily went swimming from the pontoon or whatever it is. Of course, the corals are super, there is something to see underwater, although the temperature was not very comfortable for me, I thought it would be warmer, so I couldn’t swim for a long time, keep in mind that the daylight hours are very short. We personally have no complaints about nutrition, everything was enough, I don’t see the point in listing food, in my opinion it’s impossible to stay hungry, all our native side dishes are available every day, but meat dishes change every day, there were seafood, but I don’t eat. Naturally, the alcohol was locally produced, they drank a little rum or whiskey with cola, it seems that the bottles are different, but the inside is the same, but I'm not a strong specialist in this, I didn't like the wine, it looks very cheap, like in our packages, but some praised it, in short, everyone has their own taste. I really liked the territory near the hotel, cool paths, greenery, places for cool pictures can be found. There is a heated pool, all the action during the day in general near it, and the animators entertain the people there. We went to the city every day, most of all I liked the mosque in the Old Market, especially with illumination and fountains in the evening, there the prices are the most pleasant for everything, of course you have to bargain. From entertainment outside the hotel, we took a desert safari, we didn’t take a boat trip, we already have an excellent reef, we also visited Ras Mohammed, in general, there are options. The service staff is generally not bad, we did not notice any rudeness on their part, but tips certainly improve the quality of service. The Internet is only in the lobby, so I advise you to buy a local SIM card at the airport, so in my opinion it is much more convenient and reliable, whoever wants to, for example, can leave that number in the lobby when he goes outside the hotel. In short, we really liked the rest, especially with regard to the sea, of course, you can always find cons, but we didn’t fly for this, so the hotel can be considered as an option.
