I’ll make a reservation right away: we (2 girlfriends, 26 years old) were in Egypt for the first time. Before going, we read a lot of reviews (not very optimistic) and, in principle, prepared for everything... But... From the very first minute, I realized that our vacation would be unforgettable. Well, of course, at the reception we were offered a chic room with a sea view for an additional fee ($ 60 for 10 days), but I can tell you right away that:
- firstly, almost all rooms are standard,
- secondly, why do you need a room with a sea view, if you will spend a maximum of 7 hours a day in the room itself (to swim and sleep) ??????
We were settled in a luxurious room number 523, our building was located next to the main building, the main restaurant, one of the pools, an amphitheater.
Regarding the staff: all the staff were so helpful and friendly that sometimes I wanted to quarrel with them (so that there was at least some variety))))))))))

As for the food: everything was great! The food is very varied, always fresh, the meat as if it had just come from the oven!! ! Their pastries are amazing!!!!!!
Alcohol: this is a separate issue altogether!! ! In one of the reviews, we read that alcohol in Egypt "does not stick", laughed at these words and forgot... But THIS is true!!!!!!!!!!!! ! No matter how much you drink, the effect is zero !! ! So my advice to you: stock up on alcohol in Duty free!!!
Territory: large, beautifully equipped and well-groomed. For 10 days, we did not go around the entire territory of the hotel, each time we saw more and more new views.
Sea: it's a fairy tale!! ! What they write "not enough sunbeds" or "very small beach", etc. - nothing like this!!! ! Yes, indeed, in order to take one of the "vacant places" on the beach or near the pools, you need to get up early, but we didn't come there to sleep?????????????? ? Especially on the territory of the hotel there are two beaches with pontoons and three swimming pools !!!!!!!!!!!!
Excursions: we took from our tour operator, but walked around the hotel and offered the same excursions, but much cheaper!!!
Entertainment: I gave this hotel a rating of 9 only because I did not have enough entertainment in the form of discos!! ! Yes, there was animation (well, not bad at all), but it all ended at 11 pm and... Well, of course, the animators took out every day those who wanted to local discos (paid and free), but not everyone can afford to go to a disco by paying with an average of 20 dollars ???!! ! Especially since the simple discotheques there suck, it's better to go when a DJ comes.
And one more thing: advice to young girls (especially blondes) - behave there with dignity!! ! We ourselves are two blondes and, of course, there was an extremely lot of attention in our direction, but there was no harassment, grabbing hands, obscene proposals!
In general, there are a lot of impressions, you can’t write everything at once, but I can say one thing - it really was great !!!

Everyone immediately writes the shortcomings of their vacation, and we turned a blind eye to everything (although there were no shortcomings), if you notice any little things and look for flaws, you can always find them, there is nothing ideal...
