This was our first vacation. And we were delighted. We bought a ticket to Joyce, but there seemed to be problems with the availability of places and we were settled in Waves.
The room was with a sea view, no extra charge. We read reviews in advance only about the neighboring Joyce, so we were very upset by the frequent lack of water in the shower. Sometimes it was simply impossible to wash, because there was no pressure... or it was... as thick as a child's little one, but suddenly stopped. To wash my long hair... I had to hang around in the shower for more than 40 minutes every day... and I didn’t wash them in the shower, but crocheted to wash at least some stream under the tap. We understand that this is all due to the fact that they have watering machines everywhere. At first they worked only in the evening, then they began to work both in the morning and in the afternoon. The room was good with a huge bed. There were no cockroaches or mosquitoes. In the evenings, they fumigated the territory with some kind of specific smoke, so there were no problems with insects at all... only once at night they saw 2 large such African cockroaches crawling out of the well. The room was cleaned daily, towels changed and water supplied. True, it was more difficult with beach towels... in 10 days we changed them only 2 times. Either when the cleaner arrived, we were with them on the beach... or they simply did not change, but for some reason there were never any clean ones at the reception. And since we had a room without a balcony, these very towels did not even dry out during the day. We didn't have any thefts, thank God. . . The air conditioner worked day and night, everything was OK with that.
As for the sea, it's great... We did not regret that we took masks and slippers for corals. But, although Waves is located on the 1st line, it was a nightmare to walk to the sea during the day and return back to the room in the heat... our room was located opposite the reception... we had to go uphill and very far. So during the day we hung out in the bass, in the evening we went to the sea.

The food in the restaurant is varied, but at the end of the holiday it is already boring... because they cook a lot of things every day, but the same thing every day. Only desserts diversify life.
They settled us after 14, although we checked in at 11... some wrote that they were settled at 8 in the morning.
Wi-Fi was a complete disaster... he is at the reception and rather weak... and if you want to go on Skype in the evening before dinner, when there are already a lot of people sitting there, then you will be thrown out and you will not communicate with relatives. . . More, for non-smokers us, the time spent on wi-fi was torture. The whole reception smokes from the heart, the smoke is a pillar and it's something terrible. . . clothes, hair absorb all this depressing smell. . . in general, tin.
In general, everything is fine, we knew that the star rating of hotels in Egypt is very high. Rest was superb. The guide didn't push anything on us, everything was wonderful!!!
It only aggravated that we were not presented with a cake on our birthday, although I agreed with the administrator in advance... and they said that everything would be fine.
