This is the third time we have stayed at the hotel and it speaks for itself.

Specificity - small, not for lovers of vast territories. In my opinion, this is a plus, everything is available in 2-3 minutes walk.

Sandy beach in a closed bay with a good smooth entry into the sea along the entire length of the beach, no coral crust, no corals - convenient and safe. The beach is large - about 150 meters long, the buoys are pushed back by 50-70 meters, there is where to swim. There are no corals as such, except for a couple of bushes at the bottom, which are still to be looked for. But from the beach there is a free boat to the exit from the bay to the coral, accompanied by a lifeguard from the hotel. You can swim at your leisure and admire the corals and fish.
The bay is considered windless and is the number 1 choice when relaxing in winter. There is a slight breeze from the sea, but in the heat it is even pleasant.

Minus - nearby in the bay banana skiing, water skiing, pleasure yachts - can bring exhaust gases from all these boats.
Depends on the direction of the wind. But in the morning, until ten o'clock, the air is always clean, then how lucky.

The rooms are comfortable, equipped with everything you need, they are updating the rooms, but without changing the design, minor repairs and tinting. The rooms are clean, cleaning daily. Bed linen is white and towels are changed daily.
Minus - after the repair, the dryers on the terraces were removed, now the swimsuits have to be dried on the backs of the chairs.

Food - for Egypt is just excellent. You can pick up almost any taste, you will not stay hungry. There's just enough, I've never seen anything end. For dinner, they try to make a "dish of the day" - usually something baked or on coals - salmon, duck, turkey, kebabs, seafood, etc.
There is always at least 2 types of meat - beef and chicken, and fish or seafood, there is a children's menu (not relevant for us)
Two restaurants - shared La Cupole and Blue Marine - adults only (from 16)
Service - the staff is very friendly, attentive, trying to help as much as possible, but at the same time unobtrusive. Tips are welcome, but not extorted. Service in any case will be at a high level.
There is a Russian-speaking Guest Relations. But the staff at the reception usually speak Russian and English well. Every day they collect feedback - they themselves are interested in whether everything is fine, whether there are any problems. This is probably for those who are especially shy, since it’s not a problem to just approach or call the reception and they will try to solve the problem as far as possible.

There is a well-equipped gym (it is not very popular and it is convenient, since you will either work out completely alone, or 1-2 more people maximum), tennis courts (for a fee) - probably good in winter, but summer-autumn is too hot to play.

SPA - hammam, swimming pool, massage. You need to sign up for a hammam, it's free, massage is paid, good discounts.

Swimming pools - small, two in the center of the hotel - central (with a bar) and children, one in the SPA. Central heated in winter.

Wi-Fi - best in the bar near the lobby and on the terrace next to the lobby.
in restaurants and on the beach - catches, but not good. This is the second time we just take a Vodafone SIM card and the question of the Internet is not at all.
If there are no special requests - I recommend at the rate of 1 day - 1 GB - enough for social. networks, youtube and about an hour of video calls.

The territory is small, well-groomed, beautiful.
To the right of the entrance to the lobby are shops and a pharmacy. Prices are almost like in the city, you can bargain.

Location - the old market area, you can go for a walk, just opposite the shopping center (souvenirs, everything for the beach and swimming, pharmacies, a bank), a little further - a beautiful mosque, and the square in front of it, around - market shops. To the left of the mosque is one of the Faros restaurants.
The market already has to fend off the persistent offers of sellers, but compared to Nama Bay, the level of importunity is lower.
