Hi all. Before going to the hotel, I read the reviews to understand what's what. now it's my turn. In principle, everything that they write is true. The territory of the hotel is huge, green, just super. I have no words. They write that the second line is better - maybe. we lived on the first, overlooking the sea, for an additional 20 ye, pulled out, bastard, upon arrival. (we arrived early in the morning, and so, so that they immediately settled - 20 bucks and no problem). she, the line, is also very, very.
at the expense of knowledge of English - the truth is 100%. You can see our brother from a kilometer away, even if you speak Chinese, it doesn’t matter... but knowing English is more likely to get the desired information.
the staff is friendly, they come up all the time, they smile, but when they realize that you won’t put “van dolar” in their pocket, they lose interest in you, walk around, smile, but no longer come up every 10 minutes with the question “is everything okay? ”. but that's not a problem either, in general - normal people.

food - someone wrote that it was monotonous. perhaps, but we never went hungry. they have trouble with fruit, yes.
the beach is not big, but there was always enough space for everyone. in the hotel, mostly Germans and Arabs, they are not walkers on the beach.
in general, the hotel is focused on a quiet, well, very quiet holiday. animators are not heard, not seen. quiet and smooth.
And I want to devote a separate word to excursions. I don’t know, I heard a lot about the country, about customs, but frankly, I was shocked. the fact that it is cheaper to travel across the street is not news. there are no agencies near the hotel, let's go to Naama Bay. took quad bikes there, Cairo, Tiran Island. they are at least 40 minutes late - this is normal, the bus was late for 1 hour 20 minutes in Cairo - no words. kapets....but we did not regret that we went, there is something to see. quad bikes are great. was a great guide, everything is super. but something went wrong with the island. half of the yacht went to Ros Mukhamed, half to the tyrant. in the end, they didn't get there. just swim in the sea. at the same time, we wanted to dive with scuba gear, so we put on empty cylinders twice. that's the kind of organization they have.
but in general it’s cool, I don’t regret that we went. for the umpteenth time, I swear that I will not go to Egypt anymore, but who knows. if you do not leave the hotel - lafa.
