A good family-type hotel, but not for a family with children and a large company who wants to hang out.
Well, in order. Vacation for 3 adults, i. e. for pensioners and an accompanying person (me)
1 Why did you choose the hotel and how was the settlement?
The choice of this hotel was spontaneously in the office of the agency Anekstur, bribed the beach and the location on the 1st coastline.
The beach is squeaky, with a good entry into the sea. This was the main criterion, since the rest should be comfortable for parents aged 65/70 years (one of the pensioners with a stick), the second important criterion is windiness, in summer it may not be, but in early spring it is a little windy, located in the bay ( closed by a mountain on one side and on the other). If on points out of 10 it's 10.

Settlement. You must be prepared for the fact that this is tiring, and someone will not adapt to you with or without children. If the room is not ready it is not ready. Officially, check-in starts at 14:00, and it doesn’t matter when you arrived, in our case it was at 06:30 in the morning, they kept us busy until 10:00. But at the reception, good boys will tell you everything, they will send a drink upon arrival (to remove thirst, they brought us while waiting 2 times : -))) At 10:00 they put on bracelets, they gave the room at 11:30. When they gave you bracelets, you can go to the beach to the bar to get yourself drinks: tea, juice, water, a bun if you have one (keep in mind not the bar next to the entrance to the beach, but the one to the left of the shops; the one to the right of the entrance for a fee). The room was not bad, near the heated pool on the ground floor. The room has a TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, mini bar, glasses, towels, dryer, warm cold water, dryer for swimsuits, you need to ask the head of the building. (Be careful, this chief may not put everything in the room, then you need to have $ 1 for services or just impudence). The boy "Roman" cleans the rooms for a chocolate bar and sometimes $ 1 will do everything for you. In the room and so you do not sit. Out of 10 (8)
2 The hotel area is not very large, but beautiful, there are swimming pools, recreation areas, a restaurant, a bar. From the second floor of the main building offers an incomparable view. There is Internet on the territory not only at the reception (but it catches better there), we even pulled in the room, only the password must be entered every race when you want to enter the Internet (the password is taken at the reception of the 1st race for 7 days, every day you don’t need to run and take a password, so don’t lose the piece of paper that you will be given) out of 10 (10).
The disadvantages of the room are most likely the lack of drinking water in the room (stock up on an empty plastic bottle to get water in a cooler in a restaurant or on the beach at the bar, because there is no more water). Near the hotel there is a shop where you can buy water there at times cheaper than in a mine bar. Also, the lack of an electric kettle in the room, coffee lovers have to wait until breakfast. Out of 10 (6)
3. Nutrition.
Some write that they are not very good, I will write the following.
It’s not the first year that we have been vacationing in Egypt with our family, but mostly in Hurghada, then I’ll make a comparison with her.
Despite the shortcomings that I described above, the food is good better than Hurghada.
(You can adapt to the shortcomings and they will not be such).
Breakfast: there is everything you need, a lot of vegetables (both raw and stewed, grilled), sauces, cereals (someone wrote that there was no children's menu, but somehow I didn’t notice that the children would suffer from the fact that there was no food, there was milk for breakfast, lunch and dinner), musli, pancakes, cottage cheese, tea, coffee, juice. A lot of pastries, fruits - (but not so much but were in the form of salads or separately)

Lunch: almost half of the same as for breakfast, plus first courses, seafood (which were every day for lunch and dinner), jelly, pastries (here you can bite your fingers off relish), wine, beer, whiskey (alcoholic drinks are served for lunch and dinner - this is in the restaurant, on the beach and at the bar from 10:00)
Dinner: breakfast and lunch are included, meat appears (yes, they wrote that meat is for extradition) I don’t see something unpleasant in this, you will eat one after another (meat is different), pleasant cooks never refused supplements, (Yes, I want to warn that drinks for lunch and dinner are given out, you need to come up and say what you poured, for breakfast you type yourself. )
The service is good, but you need to be prepared for jokes and not take it seriously, there is a general restaurant manager (he is always at the entrance to the restaurant in the morning, lunch and evening) a very nice man, if you miss something, he will always help.
I can say with confidence that the food and service are at levels out of 10 (8).
4 What didn't you like?
From the very beginning I would say that everything, but when the rest was in the middle it was all and not all. One was a minus is the representative of Anekstura in the hotel. Upon arrival, there was one hotel guide, a few days later another, well, in short, a complete mess. But these are questions for the tour operator Anekstura and not for the hotel.
Yes, the hotel has animation for 6 people. throughout the day they will be messing with you but not intrusively, if you want, you don’t want and you don’t need (for adults)
There is a program for children, and then at least in the evening (minidisco) in this hotel with kids, think for yourself, there is a good playground, there are no animators there, parents themselves deal with their kids.
For adults in the evening there is something, but it's so 2-Echka. Want to hang out so you in the city. (there are all disco shops.....)
And if you like to relax book, sea, tranquility, then you are here.
I would return here, YES, I have enough fun at home in Ukraine.

Yes, it’s better not to take small tours with a guide, there is a Roma tour across the road where you can take everything, or along the embankment Diving tour there too, but if you decide to take everything from a guide from a company representative, then you can pay with a card, but they don’t say this (and necessarily a discount). Izrail was taken from a guide, it is worth going (tiring border crossing up to 6 hours). On the beach there are shops 10 out of 10 discounts are very good. You can pay for medicines along the green pharmacy embankment with a card (ask for a discount for a chocolate bar, there will be a good discount). And in general, a discount is needed at every step.
Even if you have a late check-out and the room needs to be returned at 12:00, then the room can be extended until the time of departure (but only the room if you checked in before lunch) for $ 35 and then the day before, the bracelet will be taken from you in the evening when you check in rooms (use everything without a fee, but except for lunch. If you checked in later and you only had dinner on the first day, then lunch is included).
You can dine in the hotel restaurant for $6 per person or elsewhere (I don't know the cost).
Rest positively. And have a good rest.
