Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel meets its Egyptian stars, but there are two drawbacks: an insane amount of Russian speakers and weak animation. If this is not a minus for you, then choose this hotel!
On the first day of our stay, we talked with our neighbors in the building: they cordially told us that the food was bad, the weather was terrible, and it was generally boring here. What is it all told with such enthusiasm! : )
In fact, I want to emphasize that a person's impressions often depend on his ability to relax, on his general perception of life and, finally, on his mood during the holidays. I will share my. . .

The food is excellent: in the morning a large selection of fresh juices, various fruits; the chef prepares pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs; there are all sorts of yoghurts, countless donuts, croissants, buns. Every evening is devoted to some kind of cuisine: Italian, French, Egyptian, that is, the dishes are not boring. In my opinion, even the most fastidious gourmet will be able to find something tasty for themselves.
There are no bathrobes in the rooms, as they say in some catalogs, but this does not overshadow the stay at the hotel! Cleaned every day, beds are also changed daily. There is a safe; a small teapot with two cups, coffee, tea and cream; there is a refrigerator in which you can safely put tangerines or oranges brought from the restaurant for an afternoon snack. On TV you can find the First Channel and RTR, but it is much more pleasant to listen to Arabic music and watch films in English.
In the morning, in clear weather, you can no longer find a place on the beach - the Russians laid out towels everywhere. You can ask a beachboy, who will easily pick up other people's towels, freeing you a couple of sunbeds. There are no problems with the pontoon - swim to your health.
Animation (at least now) consists of morning exercises, beach volleyball and sometimes oriental dances in the evening. The disco in the hotel will appeal only to those who want to dance for themselves (there are usually few of them).
Shisha can be smoked after leaving the main restaurant and going to the right (bypassing the pool), but here it costs 10 pounds. Who is not lazy, go to Leila Va Leila (1000 and 1 night) and smoke shisha nearby for half the price, while playing, for example, billiards. There, those who wish can find a disco for 15 pounds, although personally I would not recommend this place.
I don't know if construction projects annoy anyone (I don't), but I must warn you that a heated swimming pool is currently being built on the territory of the hotel. The building itself is fenced and hung with cloth - it does not interfere at all.
There are two Russian girls at the reception - frostbitten, of course, but they can help if something happens. By the way, do not put cards from numbers next to mobile phones, because they are demagnetized. And, if you come with a girlfriend / friend, ask for two cards at once so as not to depend on each other - very convenient.

What more i can say? Russians are usually worried about booze, but I dare to reassure you: they pour (unfortunately) as much as you want. Only first you need to drink one glass, and then ask for a second. I want to say that in the evening, the drunken bodies of Russians can often be found lying around somewhere - a vile sight (and how should the Arabs treat us after that ?! )
There is a bank in the lobby where you can change money - the rate is not much different. Just do not forget that you will never be exchanged back for dollars for pounds!
