Hello. A couple of days after returning from Egypt and while it is fresh in my memory, I would like to share my impressions about staying at this hotel, perhaps the information will be useful to someone).
So: we arrived at the hotel at 9 am (there was an early flight from Kyiv), settled at 10.30... but we had to make a little effort (5 times we came to the reception and asked well when? well when? ), since check-in after 12.00 and us they warned about this immediately both in the transfer and at the hotel itself... they didn’t give breakfast, but after checking in, alcohol / water / other amenities were available). The rooms are cool, huge and clean, although the room category is standard. They clean every day, they also give out new bath accessories on a daily basis (shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, soap and body cream), if you left a tip, then after cleaning a swan or boats with towels expected... no tip, just neatly made bed). The sea is good, clean and warm, but the reef is not particularly impressive (last year we lived in a hotel with a richer water world), there are few fish and the reef is half dead. At this time, the sea was stormy, then out of 7 days, it was possible to swim only 5 days, they are not allowed into the sea during a storm... but thank God there are many pools, 2 of them with salty sea water and bleach, of course). The food is the same type (fish, chicken, rice, pasta, vegetables, sweets, grill), we were not hungry, but after 3 days of staying we really wanted OUR borscht) it is simply impossible to eat their soups - like slops, unfortunately. Of the HUGE MINUSES - animation... the evening is boring... very boring... during the day they were also not very active, so if you are young without children and like to have fun in the evening, then you are definitely not in this hotel (. In general , not bad, calm and comfortable, but there was not enough fun... Wi-Fi caught periodically throughout the hotel, sometimes even at sea), the territory is beautiful, I was pleased with the funicular, if you are not a fan of walking up the stairs, then after standing a little in line, you can was to drive up or go down. I recommend rooms 2110-2116, this is the first floor with access to the lower pool. Just located in the middle of the hotel and it's good to go to the sea, and to the main restaurant. The bracelets are not cut off at check-out, but by 12 from the room they are asked to move out.
Summary: who loves a calm and comfortable stay, if you like to go to bed at 21.00-22.00 and if you do not have high demands on the coral reef, or you are in Egypt for the first time, then this is a relatively budget and optimal hotel for you).

But the second time I would most likely not go here... and not even through the same type of food, or reef, but rather through such meager animation, it turns out that this is a very important factor when choosing a vacation outside of Ukraine.
