Since for the first time in Egypt, there is nothing to compare with, but before that I visited Dubai and Crete and many places in Europe, the overall impression is still good.
1. The flight went well (carrier Anex Tour, I will write my opinion about them separately). The hotel is 10 min. drive from the airport which is very convenient.
2. We settled quickly, we bought rooms at the Domina Oasis Garden hotel, but we knew that it was closed and they would settle closer to the beach, at the reception they wanted to charge money for the room, but it didn’t work out, they settled in building 44 on the 3rd floor, 2 rooms nearby for 4 people. The rooms are not new, but everything worked, this is the most important thing.

3. Nutrition. Only the main restaurant worked breakfast - lunch - dinner, there were no snacks, only water, tea, coffee at the bars (there is no normal coffee in Egypt (and alcohol. I can’t say anything about alcohol, because I don’t drink. Food is average, I have never been hungry, but lagging behind in comparison with Dubai. Breakfasts are monotonous. Lunch - there is always a choice of meat and vegetables (which is a priority for me), and also side dishes. For dinner - grilled every day - fried meat, fish, crabs. Fruits alone and the same in sufficient quantities - dates, melon, grapefruit, orange, once they gave peaches.
4. The territory of the hotel is huge, for 9 days of rest we did not have time to get around it all, there is where to take a walk and get lost)))))))) We swam in the Pool only on the last day, before departure, so we always disappeared at sea.
5. Sea. I have a lot to say here because it's amazing. Were diving on the island of Tiran and the Russ Muhammad Reserve, and 100% I can say the reef and fish in our hotel are better. Firstly, the length of the beach is 2 km, there are 3 pontoons (1 large and 2 small), and there is a sandy entry. There are a lot of fish, moray eels, octopuses, huge fish (I don’t know what they are called more than 1 meter in length), stingrays, everything is in abundance. I didn’t climb out from the sea, I just swam with a mask and snorkel. Secondly, the water is beautiful, the beach is cleaned, the lifeguard constantly monitors everything. Thirdly, due to the low flooding of the hotel (13% - Ukrainians and Russians), the beach is free, you can always choose a sunbed, everyone is very friendly.
6. Service.
The rooms were cleaned daily, whether we left money or not. everyone is peaceful and friendly.
7. Cons.
The gym is located in the SPA area, and to get there for the day, you have to pay $ 15 per stay per day, it was a little annoying, I wanted to work out.
The second minus relates more to our terrible ANEXTUR operators, about which I will write in more detail in a separate post.
8. The hotels have their own shops, and the prices are quite good, even lower than in the market, if you bargain. Especially (my personal recommendation), right next to the end of building 44, there is a shop, its owner is Aman, a very sincere and not intrusive guy, you can always bargain and get everything you ask, he also has another shop of teas and oils not far away, come in to him for very tasty tea with hibiscus.
The general opinion about the hotel is positive.

It can be seen that savings are present in everything, but we knew what money we were flying for and the priority was the sea and the beach, and we are 100% satisfied with the rest.
If anyone has any questions, please contact me, I'll be happy to help.
