Were at the end of September in this hotel a large company of 19 people. Liked the hotel. Green, clean, well-groomed area. The scheme of buildings and tracks is a little confusing, but it's even interesting. The rooms are clean and large although the furniture could have been better. Most vacationers in this hotel are foreigners (Italians, Germans, English, many Poles), Russian speakers are about 20%. For young people, this hotel will probably be boring. The food is good by Egyptian standards. Of the fruits were - nectarine, apples, plums, melon, grapefruit, dates. From meat - beef, lamb, chicken, duck. For me, this is the first hotel (5th time in Egypt) where there was a sufficient variety of fish (in all variations, the main thing is delicious). Delicious pasta. What I did not like was the salads, there are a lot of them, but nothing sensible. As always, lots of pastries. Ice cream for lunch and dinner. The bar in the restaurant is the weak link of the hotel. Very slow service, sometimes they offer to pour themselves. One bartender is small and harmful (name is Hazam), only spoils the mood. During the day he works at a beach bar, so there is always a queue of 10 people. Good bartender - Sheriff (works at the pool bar) makes cool cocktails and a normal guy, gave him a couple of dollars and the man appreciated it. The lobby bar is open around the clock, there, in addition to cocktails, there is natural coffee. Sometimes there is live music in the evenings. In the beach bar, in addition to drinks, you can have a bite to eat shawarma, hot dogs or french fries. There are no problems with places on the beach, usually everything is busy near the pool after breakfast. What is worth noting is the reef of the hotel. Very beautiful. You can walk to the beach of the Melia Sinai hotel, it's even more beautiful there. We saw moray eel, stingray, Napoleon fish, dragon fish, clown fish, and many different other fish. There are of course a number of nuances, but by and large the hotel is good. I would recommend this hotel to couples, as well as to those who want a quiet measured rest.
