We arrived at the hotel at 14:00. They settled in right away. The rooms are spacious, but battered by time (the plumbing is in a very poor state). For a change of number, of course, they will ask for an additional payment. But there were families who were given rooms for an extra charge worse than without it. … More ▾ We arrived at the hotel at 14:00. They settled in right away. The rooms are spacious, but battered by time (the plumbing is in a very poor state). For a change of number, of course, they will ask for an additional payment. But there were families who were given rooms for an extra charge worse than without it.

The territory of the hotel is beautiful, large, everything is in flowers and very colorful oriental design. But this is the only plus of this hotel, unfortunately.

If you think that you are buying "all inclusive" - ​ ​ then this is not about this hotel, you will be offered a meager breakfast, even more meager lunch and the same dinner. There are no late breakfasts and dinners here from the word "absolutely". Overslept breakfast - everything: wait for dinner! The food is the same. From drinks: coffee is a problem, constantly broken coffee machine; juices - powders; gas. water (cola, sprite, fanta) tends to run out in the evening, just like alcohol.
Local alcohol (whiskey, gin, rum, vodka and beer) is poured from full (for me, very strong cocktails were obtained), which is probably why the bar was empty by the evening (although I noticed that there were bottles in their lockers with the contents I needed). The bar is open until 00:00, then only water from the cooler, but you should try to look for glasses.

There are a lot of sun loungers on the territory of the hotel, not enough on the beach.

There were also not enough tables near the bar after dinner, but this was for a couple of hours, then the guests dispersed.

The beach is sandy without urchins and corals (for children, that's it). Nearby there is a reef (to the left of the beach), where you can swim with a mask, there are a lot of fish.

There is a bar on the beach. Give gas. water and beer (the latter was always not enough, we waited for 2 hours).

Animation is a separate conversation. The guys are local, cheerful, kind, they speak a little Russian, but mostly communicated with them in English. The first days in the hotel there were few guests and there was little animation. During the day, all the fun on the beach.
In the evening near the bar. Sometimes there were competitions in the theater. We organized the disco ourselves.

The hotel area is very dirty. Rooms too (3 days they asked to wash the floors, tips did not help), until they made a scandal at the reception - the room was not cleaned. Cleaning consisted only of made beds.

One day there were power outages. In the evening, the lights were turned off completely. They didn't bring us any flashlights; they used their own flashlights on their phones.

Beach towels are provided (you can not take your own) and they can be changed at least every day.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of the city, around NOTHING!! ! The beach is not the first line!! ! 10 minutes walk through the desert. But there is a bus.

In conclusion, I will say that we came across a cheerful company of guests: in the evenings we played different games, sang, talked - this is the most positive of all the rest.

And yes, 5 Egyptian minutes equals at least 30 minutes of waiting)))

When choosing a hotel, take into account: 1. Price ($434 for two adults for 8 nights). 2. The beach (sandy, the entry into the sea is smooth), is not far from the hotel, you can walk (800 m) or take a bus that runs every half an hour / hour. 3. Reasonable reviews (so after the rest I really wanted to write a detailed review). … More ▾ When choosing a hotel, take into account:

We arrived at the hotel at 18:00, the airport is not far away.
Settlement: we were supposed to have a room with a sea view, with separate beds. For an additional fee ($ 20) they offered a chic room with a shared bed and a wonderful view and allowed to see only one of the rooms (regular or chic) ​ ​ before settling. We went to the so-called chic room. They agreed to it, but the money has not been paid yet. And they did it right. After carefully looking at the bedding and towels, we found that they were far from the first freshness, which was very upsetting. We went and asked for another room, we were offered to remove this one. We agreed and went to dinner.
There was no mood, but the restaurant and the food were pleasantly surprised, everything was very tasty, the staff was friendly, there were no queues. Returning to the room faced with a new problem - the door does not open. For an hour and a half, the staff tried to open it, as a result they broke into it, we took our things and settled in the room that we were supposed to. The new room turned out to be much better than the "chic", although the beds were separate. It was the first floor, a more modern TV, everything is neat and clean. This is all to the fact that you should not settle for superior rooms, they are all the same, the only difference is in the beds. Cleaning in the future was carried out every day, with high quality, once they made hearts from towels.

Cons of this hotel: mosquitoes! They are not poisoned, so it is better to take any means from home. There are also large ants in the room, but they did not interfere.

The territory of the hotel is very beautiful, greenery, flowers, cascading pools, which we could count.
There was only one heated room, so warm that it was already hot)) The territory is cleaned, the pools are cleaned, but it would not hurt for vacationers to be a little less pigs and find a place for their cups.
A huge advantage of the hotel due to its location is the views around: you can see the sea, mountains, desert, and not the walls of neighboring hotels.
The sea is beautiful, the beach is sandy, there are a lot of trash cans and the staff is regularly cleaned. There is a drink bar on the beach.

Meals: breakfast 7:00-10:00, cheeses, vegetables, scrambled eggs, many different buns, insanely delicious Belgian waffles, various biscuits, juices, tea, coffee from the machine (very tasty); lunch 13:00-15:00, chicken, beef, fish, various vegetables, pasta, rice, desserts, fruits (tangerines, oranges, guava, dates, melon, bananas); dinner 19:00-21:00, chicken, beef, fish, sometimes burgers, lyulya, again a variety of vegetables, buns, potatoes.
For lunch and dinner every day the beef was cooked differently. There are machines with cola, sprite, phantom.
Juices, coffee from the machine. Beer (on tap, you can take as much as you want).
Everything is insanely delicious, quite varied, you can come up as many times as you like for a supplement, you can take it out of the restaurant. We took out fruits and saw how others took out full-fledged dinners))) We also took out bones for cats, which are very numerous on the territory)
The animation is good, funny animators, shows every day.

Been to the bar a couple of times. They make different cocktails, pretty good. Do not listen to those who say that alcohol is disgusting and weak! When we were poured from bottles with an excise stamp, the taste of ordinary alcohol. The beer is rather weak, but no one dilutes it, as you can read from others, it is poured from bottles. Music played mainly Ukrainian)

About excursions. We took a free survey from Join Up, free of charge to the Fur Skin store, to Soho Square for $ 12 per room (with 5 coupons for water, cinema, drink, ice cream and hookah), a quad bike safari $ 15.
We were satisfied only with a free review! For those who are the first time, it will be useful. The coupons turned out to be absolutely stupid: they gave a glass of cola, a bottle of water, cheap ice cream on a stick, an average hookah, and we didn’t go to the cinema, as it was advertising. It is better to go to Soho by minibus and spend the money there as you like. I didn’t like the safari at all, and it seems that it was only at Join Up: we drove 10-15 km / h, on killed quadrics, it was impossible to go to the side. At the same time, other groups (who bought a tour from the locals) rode as they wanted. But this is everyone's business.

We left the hotel at 01:10, we were offered to go to the kitchen, take food and drink. We refused, because since the evening we took the brakes on the road.

IN GENERAL, we were very satisfied with the hotel and the rest, we recommend it to everyone and we think that we would return there again.

The hotel was chosen on the advice of the tour operator. We arrived at night, we were settled without problems. The food is good, everything was fine. The rooms are a bit in poor condition, but overall not bad. The territory is very beautiful, they have a good beach: pontoon, sand. The only negative is that there is no live coral. … More ▾ The hotel was chosen on the advice of the tour operator. We arrived at night, we were settled without problems.

Rest were satisfied. And now in order. I warn you right away: I will write a lot and in detail)) So, settlement. We arrived at the hotel at 05.30 in the morning and then the first unpleasant surprise occurred: the room will be settled no earlier than 14.00. That is, after a night flight, we have to wait another eight hours?!?! ? EIGHT!! ! Well, okay, for $20 we were settled (initially they wanted $25). … More ▾ Rest were satisfied. And now in order.

So, settlement. We arrived at the hotel at 05.30 in the morning and then the first unpleasant surprise occurred: the room will be settled no earlier than 14.00. That is, after a night flight, we have to wait another eight hours?!?! ? EIGHT!! ! Well, okay, for $20 we were settled (initially they wanted $25).
Wi-Fi. Paid and pulls mainly at the reception, sometimes was at the pool, sometimes in the room.
Rooms. I will say right away, yes, they were killed, but we did not particularly look at the quality of the room, it was not before (after all, a night flight makes itself felt). Water flowed, there was soap, towels too, they set up a TV set and a safe, ok. We came to the sea, not to sit in the room. The room was cleaned, swans-elephants were spinning, even water was brought.
Territory. There was an hour left before breakfast and we went to inspect the territory. First impression HORRIBLE! Where did we go?!?! ? Disposable cups and plates are scattered everywhere (later it turned out that all this was removed, just a little later. By the way, a few days before our departure, they began to wash the paving slabs with soap or powder, in general, something foamy), which the wind drives, and here even bushes and paths are watered with some kind of shit. In general, the mood is zero... Then, when we had already rested and examined everything, let's say, in the light of day, it was very personal. Very unusual design and it is clear that a lot of work and imagination has been invested. The territory is large. If I'm not mistaken, there are five pools, it seems like one is heated, but I didn't notice, two bars. The central bar, which is open in the rock from 10 to 24 and another one from 10 to 17. By the way, the bushes were watered only from our side of the hotel)) So if you have the opportunity to choose a room, take the ones on the right (if you stand facing the sea)
Sea. We decided to go to the sea, the benefit is within walking distance. And for this sea and the beach you can forgive everything! The entry into the sea is gentle and sandy, like in Hurghada, no stones and sea urchins for you, no kilometer-long pontoons. There is a coral reef just to the side. There is a bar on the beach that is open from 10 to 17, and from 13 to 14 they kind of have lunch. There is no bartender and they don't serve anything. Drinks, tea, coffee, beer (I didn’t recognize strong drinks, I don’t need them on the beach), they gave melon between breakfast and lunch. In general, everything is as I like it))) The red flag hangs constantly. It is, probably, as they hang it in the winter, so it is removed in the spring. The first couple of days there was a very strong wind, but then it was completely calm. And by the way, it’s calmer until lunch, and then the wind intensifies. Rescuers walk along the shore all the time and watch closely, they don’t let you swim far. Trestle beds and umbrellas are tired, but not broken. Trestle beds are good on the territory of the hotel. There is a bus to the beach, but you can also walk, 3-5 minutes whoever walks.
Nutrition. As for 4 *, and even for 8400 UAH. For two, that's great. Breakfasts as usual: scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, milk porridge, cheeses, sausages, sausages, yogurts, cucumbers, tomatoes, fruits, a lot of different pastries, waffles are also baked right in front of you. Tea, coffee, drink from the machine. Lunch: soup, mostly vegetables, pasta with vegetables, rice, potatoes, again, vegetables, fruits. For lunch, sweets are already cakes, and not just pastries. I can’t say what it tastes like, I don’t like sweets and don’t eat it, but judging by the way it is rowed, it’s delicious). And now attention: always for lunch and dinner there is fish, chicken and beef or lamb, that is, two types of meat and fish. To be honest, I have not seen this in every five. If the meat and fish ends, they bring more. Very tasty grapefruits and tangerines, pomegranates are also surprisingly sweet. Dinner: in principle, everything is the same as for lunch (cooked differently), but also a barbecue menu. Shawarma, kebab, baked chicken or beef, lamb. I won’t say that every day, but every other day for sure. For lunch and dinner, beer on tap, I didn’t see strong drinks. Regarding alcohol: as everywhere in Egypt, Turkey, diluted and almost the same taste, but our people managed to get drunk on it (several times I saw people lying near the bar).
Animation. Guys-animators well done, trying their best. And on the beach, and near the pool and in the evening in the theater (this is the name of the place where the evening animation takes place). A visiting disco was also present. And what I especially liked was that no one pulls you by the hand, if you want to go, if you don’t want to, sit and watch))).
Summary. Rest were satisfied. For 8400 UAH for two, and from winter to summer - this is chicdos))) Will I come back here again? Of course yes!! ! Would I recommend this hotel to anyone? It all depends on the needs of the people. If you are not particularly demanding, love the sea, music and simple, good food - you are here!! ! If you want to pay three kopecks and have a slave standing next to you with a fan and a tray of lobsters, then it's better to stay at home or go to Kirillovka. You won't even get an air conditioner there for that money)))

Of the benefits - if when you eat here the weather is warm, then there are a lot of pools and the sea is not far away. But since we went and it was quite cool in Egypt, it was not very comfortable, especially if you swim in the sea. The hotel also has a wonderful staff. We did not take part in the animation, but it was. … More ▾ Of the benefits - if when you eat here the weather is warm, then there are a lot of pools and the sea is not far away.

We did not take part in the animation, but it was. The food is good, but monotonous. But you should definitely take your own beach towels to this hotel. Because those towels that are issued at the hotel - they are not washed, but simply dried and no one knows who used them before.

He was great, it was a fairy tale, and everyone else just picks on him. Yes, there are drawbacks, such is the mentality of Egypt. Who wants to go to luxury, let him pay and go, this is a good budget hotel. On the territory there is a slide, a lot of cascading pools. I liked the silence, the huge territory and you can’t see any of the vacationers, you walk around the half-empty territory. … More ▾ He was great, it was a fairy tale, and everyone else just picks on him.

Even during lunch, a couple of people walk straight through the zombie apocalypse. Silence, space, beauty. A very nice animato, really witty name is Luka. The food is fantastic. I liked the vegetables and the buns, the buns are better than the Turquoise. Moroccan style every room, all natural wood, marble.

We went for the first time and we didn’t know anything, we were offered this option in a travel agency, we agreed and went. The settlement went well. We liked the rest. I liked the territory, proximity to the sea, food, service - I liked everything. Rooms are cleaned every day, air conditioning, shower, toilet, TV even, I would like more Russian and Ukrainian channels, though we didn’t have time to watch to be honest. … More ▾ We went for the first time and we didn’t know anything, we were offered this option in a travel agency, we agreed and went.

Although I'm not a picky person, it seems to me that the hotel draws on three stars. I was traveling with a child and chose to have a sandy beach that would be close to the hotel and at that moment it was a last minute trip. Of course, we did not use the pools, because it was cold, the weather let us down, and there are many slides and pools. … More ▾ Although I'm not a picky person, it seems to me that the hotel draws on three stars.

I know that many fly to Egypt to see the sea, beautiful fish, corals, but this is not there, you can sit in the sand and sunbathe, with children this is what you need. Entry into the sea was safe.

The hotel, in principle, is normal. Only in the room, so to speak, furniture and doors lay. But we were promised a room with a sea view when the contract was signed, and we had a pool view. The beach is beautiful, you can walk. We didn't even use the transfer. And here is a really beautiful sea. … More ▾ The hotel, in principle, is normal.
