I have a rest in Egypt not for the first time (the 4th one to be more precise), so there is something to compare with. To be frank, I have been in better hotels and much worse... and not only in Egypt. But the quality is directly proportional to the price. The hotel is good: a beautiful, well-groomed territory, a lot of greenery, quite spacious rooms that are cleaned every day, if you leave a tip, you will be pleasantly surprised by the miracles of towels that the local room service will build on your bed. They clean quite well even without a tip, leave freshly picked flowers, etc. I approached the choice of the hotel very carefully, however, as always. I read a lot of reviews, about which I would like to note: yes, indeed, guests from the post-Soviet space are not settled near the sea, but not at all because they don’t like us so much, but because there are rooms of the see wiew class, and our tourists usually buy the standard, which is cheaper. But if there is a desire
you can make an additional payment upon check-in and choose a room closer to the shore. But does it make sense? ? I think not. The hotel is not so huge, it will take you a maximum of 7-10 minutes to walk from the sea to the opposite end of the hotel, and if you crawl... Moreover, the sea is visible from almost all rooms. True bathrobes and slippers are only in the see wiew rooms. Especially worth noting is the kitchen! Prepare GREAT! ! A lot of Italian dishes, pastas, pizzas, etc. Very tasty! In the morning - there is always fresh juice! True, I do not recommend going to a fish restaurant (it works on an ala carte system, all hotel guests have one visit for free) - it's just a nightmare !! ! It's still a mystery to me - how can you spoil the fish ?? ? This despite the fact that the same fish in an ordinary restaurant is SUPER!! ! Every day they cook something on the grill: meat, fish, partridges! ! The service staff is very pleasant and accommodating.
The only incomprehensible fact for me was the lack of a cocktail upon arrival, but this, in my opinion, is not so important. I highly recommend that you immediately abandon the mini bar if you do not plan to use it. We ended up being billed for water that we didn't take. A petty sum of 2 bucks, but not pleasant and insulting... because they DID NOT TAKE. Nearby, at the exit from the hotel, there are several shops where you can buy everything you need: sun creams, cigarettes, water, souvenirs, etc. - the prices are the same as in the city. I really liked the sunbeds: comfortable, light, cute. The beach is good, the panton is not very long, but there are not as many fish as it could be. 2 swimming pools - one of them heated. Wonderful jacuzzi - free of charge, and sauna and Turkish bath. For those who want to look at a real aquarium - do not be lazy to walk for 15-20 minutes. in BARON, it's through the hotel on the right. In a nearby hotel they will try to rip you off money for entry - do not be fooled !!

Explain that you are not going to use their services and go further, or if you are not in the mood to explain something to someone, go along the beach and not along the path! I recommend buying a mask and a pipe - hire 3 bucks, buy in a store from 10 bucks. The choice of alcohol for all inclusive is like everywhere else, the quality is Egyptian, therefore it is better to dial from duty free. Although rum is drinkable, rosé wine is fine too. For the sake of interest, you can ride into the city - by taxi, it's not expensive and they will also wait for you there! The hotel has a nice disco, but you need to gather a company. Animation Italian, but fun. They sing wonderfully, every evening the boy sang so that those who came in pairs could not help but dance, and who alone, so as not to find a mate ! ! ROMANCE!! ! Animators do not run after anyone and do not pull by the hand, but who is interested in doing aqua aerobics, dancing salsa or something else - they will very welcome you to their circle !!
If you are going on an excursion on quadra cycles and to the Nabka reserve, I don’t recommend it: it’s boring and there’s nothing to see, they don’t allow to filth, there are no corals and fish in the reserve, only annoying Arab girls in veils with souvenirs. Another thing I didn't like was the internet. there is a wi-fi network, but the Internet is paid, 40 pounds 30min. But the speed is a nightmare!! ! You'd rather get tired than send a letter. But on vacation you can do without neta! And if it gets hot - in the baron free wi-fi in the lobby!!!
In short, the hotel is good, you can go!
