I'll start in order.
Settlement. The standard was paid, at the reception they offered to pay for an improved room at the price list, or pay for a standard room by the sea ($ 50). The location of the room did not bother us at all, since the hotel is quite compact, we refused. We settled in room 4411, which is located at the very beginning of the hotel (at the entrance), to the left of the reception. There is a service building nearby, the noise and smell of which are not very pleasant)) The balcony was always closed (because of the air conditioner), so it was not much inconvenience.
Number. The furniture is quite old, but nothing is falling apart, a good big TV, the room is clean, the bed / towels are good, not washed out. Cleaning is always 5+.

The territory of the hotel is green, well-groomed, in flowers, a beautiful waterfall and fountains. It is very convenient to ride the funicular (one of the two worked), since the hotel is located on a slope, there are a lot of steps. With children it will be convenient, no need to carry a stroller.
Sea. The coral is quite lively, but I would like more fish. Pantone underwater is not very convenient, there is no exit from it, at the end you need to stomp on the corals or swim belly over them. Closer to our departure, they began to make rope railings, because it is slippery, there is nothing to hold on to. Perhaps they will think of a convenient gathering. The second, floating pantone, is normal, not long. The sea was sometimes closed for swimming because of the waves, not once in neighboring hotels (coral feature). At high tide, you can splash with the children in the shallows, and swim at a distance approximately to the middle of the pantone, then they whistle.
There are several beaches, at different levels. There were always enough places on the sunbeds, only the water at the lower level was usually already occupied by 7 in the morning. Although this is an amateur, I personally like it better on the upper level - a beautiful view and a pleasant breeze, no one roams back and forth past you : )
The main pools (lower, near the beach) are salty. There is also a children's pool there. One large pool at the reception (a zone of silence without children)), and two small ones separately located at the far buildings, at the top between the check-out and the reception.
On the beach and by the pool, they wore ice towels and splashed with cool water - a very pleasant thing in the summer heat))
The animation is quite good, they try. A standard set of entertainment by the pool and on the beach + discos. Also evening shows in the amphitheater.
The food is very good. Of the fruits were peaches, nectarines, bananas, apples, melon, watermelon, dates. Standard breakfasts (+ yogurt in jars, fresh melon, orange, banana with milk and for some reason smoked fish))), for lunch there was always a choice of meat + fish, squid, various themed dinners + grill on the street. Good service, very clean.

Ice cream is delicious, all day on the beach and in the bar at the reception, as well as packaged juices.
Bar at the top at the reception (everything is always busy in the evening), at the bottom of the Latinos bar (live music, karaoke + football)) - there were always places (you can smoke there). One bar worked on the street - near the amphitheater, where you can smoke a hookah (3 ye).
We didn’t sign up for a la carte restaurants, I can’t say anything))
Free Wi-Fi catches at the reception, near the pool and on the beach upstairs (respectively, in the rooms next door), paid Internet is expensive, and I don’t see the point in it. It is necessary to register on the network every day (through the Internet tab, enter the room number and last name (in English), select 1 free day, connect an unlimited number of devices))
In general, I liked the hotel, the overall impression is very good. For 11 trips to Egypt, there is something to compare. The hotel is not new, but everything is compensated by cleanliness, grooming, service and food. A huge plus is that there is where to go out in the evening. (The huge El Mercato market, 1001 nights, a sea of ​ ​ shops and cafes, Metro, etc. ).
