Settlement
We arrived at the hotel in the evening. Check in was pretty quick, about 10 minutes. At the reception they immediately said that they would improve the category of the room without additional charges. We were surprised)
Number
Number 5309 turned out to be good the first time. Third floor, direct sea view. Recently refurbished as the hotel has recently opened. Cleanliness, big smart tv. Separately pleased with the air conditioner. He worked 24/7, but the bed did not blow and the room temperature was very comfortable.
Wi-fi works throughout the hotel, even at the end of the beach, near melton. For the first time in Egypt, they did not buy a SIM card.
Nutrition

They weren't hungry. There were three restaurants. The main dishes in them can be repeated, but there is something of their own. For example, Asian has more savory side dishes and meats, such as chicken curry or wok. There were always several types of meat, fish. Not bad Coffee from coffee machines and excellent in the lobby bar.
Juice packs at the beach bar and lobby.
At meals only powder type.
Waiters serve drinks.
I didn't drink alcohol so I can't comment on the quality.
A small assortment of fruits - from edible for us there were only dates and sometimes bananas. Apples, pears and melons were not particularly. They didn't eat pomegranates.
Seafood. There were almost none. Everything was limited to squid, several types of fish and twice in 10 days there were shrimp.
Beach
A very long beach. There is a relatively quiet relaxation area. The sunbeds are comfortable and plentiful.
Reef
Pantone is not long. They wrote that they whistle if they swim behind the buoys and something needs to be signed. We didn’t have such problems, we swam all the way to the coral sea in one direction and to the melton in the other, no one said anything and the rescuers didn’t whistle to us.
The red flag has never been seen in 10 days.
The hotel reef is not bad, although we expected the worst. The reef is alive, inhabited by fish.
If you swim further, to the baron, then it is a little brighter there. Most of all I liked the reef between the coral sea and the baron. They swam from our hotel or walked to the baron and swam to the coral.
Animation
We are not fans of hotel animation, so we were especially happy that it takes place in the amphitheater and that it was not heard in the territory of our buildings in the evening. There were both daytime activities in the form of darts and aerobics, and evening shows. We went to some Latin American dances - in general, it was not bad.
The territory of the hotel.
Very spacious. We used four pools of which two were infinity. There were visually a lot of people in the hotel, but there was no discomfort or queues.
There is nothing behind the hotel. But there was no special need to leave the hotel, there are even several very decent shops on the territory. In the supermarket type, you can even pay by card. A couple of times we took a taxi for a walk in the old city.

A water park is under construction next to the hotel. For the first week, she was not noticeable at all, given that our building was right next to her. For the last few days, the sounds of renovations can be heard near the room and sometimes there is construction dust.
The hotel is not green, but they are working on it. There are new plantings, so after a while everything will be fine.
There are table and tennis, billiards and mini golf.
COVID-19
Upon arrival, there was a feeling that there was no virus. The temperature was measured once upon arrival. Empty boxes for sanitizers hung around the territory. Most of the staff don't wear masks. But towards the end of the holiday, everything changed dramatically. All employees are wearing masks, sanitizers are everywhere, tables are arranged taking into account social distance, in the dining room part of the dishes was made behind glass. Most likely this is due to the fact that Europeans arrived at the hotel. Also, by their arrival, the territory was actively landscaped and cosmetic improvements were added to the hotel.
Total
During our stay, our relationship with the hotel improved and improved.
He met our needs 100%. We are seriously thinking about returning to it again, perhaps after the opening of the water park.
We can safely recommend it!
