First time in Egypt, but, oddly enough, I liked it. The hotel itself is not bad, in principle, fully consistent with the reviews that I read on the site.
The food is quite varied and for every taste. No one has ever been hungry - even those who went for a company to drink tea : ))
hotel accommodation is also not bad, depending on where you live. Best of all - in a building with a sea view. I can’t say for sure the numbers, but I think they are 5 and 6. We lived in 4, though on the second floor and away from the reception, so the view was just wonderful. Helped a lot 20-ka with resettlement. : )) in the rooms on the ground floor there is a convenient exit to the street through the balcony, but this is not for everybody. The hotel has a lot of Arabs (especially after Ramadan), Italians, many Russians, there are Ukrainians.

You can stay near the pools, having previously taken a place at 6:30, you may not find places at 7. On the beach we liked it much more - always a breeze, silence and the sound of the sea, sometimes pleasant music from the bar.
The sea is wonderful, the living creatures in it are very diverse, there are low tides 2 times a day, which made it difficult to swim in the sea from the beach, but at this time you can swim through the pantone and walk along the sand.
At the expense of excursions - they took 2 dives near about. Tyrant, - one thing - money thrown away - a conveyor with a personal instructor - it was possible to see everything and enjoy the underwater world only the second time. We had a wonderful instructor - Hannah! I highly recommend. The second excursion - 1001 nights - can be taken if you don't feel sorry for the money and you need to kill the evening. The most pleasant thing is the restaurant, but, in principle, the food is like in a hotel - without special features. Show to call what happened next does not turn the tongue. Just a tourist scam. In addition to fatigue and the feeling that you have collapsed, we got nothing. The impression of this excursion was brightened up by the Albatros water park, which we visited the next day. In principle, they regretted that the trip there was postponed for later, it was possible to visit there a couple more times. Both children and adults had a lot of fun. Despite the huge amount of anesthesia - the organization of entertainment there is set to a high level - there was no need to be bored there. You can always find a place under an umbrella if you want to take a break.
What I didn’t like: at the very beginning, we were told that all the pools on the territory were at our disposal, but we were gently kicked out of the pool near building 5, saying that the pool was private. But there were no signs, we were approached after we undressed and began to descend into the pool. In a word - embarrassment, but not our fault. After explanations with the hotel guide Samir (who made a very good impression), they began to rub in on us that this was the owner’s personal pool, etc. But without finishing the hotel, it was clear that I felt like a 2nd grade, which, you see, is very unpleasant. The Privat plate would help to avoid unpleasant moments. Another nuance, but very inconvenient - the hotel does not have a hotel card. Where that is had to look for at random. For example, they found a disco only on the penultimate evening, when they returned late from the "show" 1001 nights. She ended up in the lobby bar, but it started very late - at 11-11:30.
