Rested in September 2010, in general, the hotel can be recommended and called pretty good. Of course, there are subjective correspondences or inconsistencies with personal wishes. In order:
The hotel is nice, clean, very well-groomed and beautiful territory consisting of swill of 2-3 storey buildings in the Arabic style. Everything is present in the rooms, everything works....unfortunately, I am not familiar with the Egyptian scale of hotels, but of course, compared to Greece or Spain, everything loses a little... But then again! , this is subjective, after all, this is not Europe, this is not what we are coming here for, we were absolutely not bothered, for example, by a not quite fresh curtain or water in the shower flowing directly onto the floor in which a drain is installed, everything is decorated solidly and civilized : -) For this, a solid four (according to the school scale, of course : ))
The beach is clean, sand, there are always enough sun loungers, trash cans are neatly dug in, ashtrays are everywhere, everything is on the level. A small subjective minus - in the morning the sea ran away about 40-50 meters, but by lunchtime it was already there : -), but these 40 meters go knee-deep, who doesn’t like it, please - pantone. There is practically no coral, swim, swim freely, but with a mask of fish you will find dead corals near the islands without problems. For the beach, too, four : ) After walking for about 25 minutes along the coastline towards the Baron Hotel, near the collapsed hotel you will find a coral reef of indescribable beauty with underwater life, very cool! I recommend it!

The fastidious will find something to complain about, for example, to some kind of career immediately to the right of the hotel, it can be seen from the beach, there is all sorts of rubbish lying around behind the fence, but this is no longer the territory of the hotel and does not interfere with the rest of the review of a very well-groomed beach, nothing is visible from the hotel, everything is luxuriously landscaped and planted : )
There are no complaints about the pool, for example, from 4 to 6, a shadow from buildings appears very successfully in it, and for white-skinned comrades like me, it’s just a paradise for swimming there, don’t burn out for sure! At 6 you will be asked from the pool (unfortunately : -/)
Food and drinks, of course, are inferior to the already mentioned Greece and Spain, but from other reviews, I realized that this is normal for Egypt, so we will characterize it as normal (you won’t die of hunger for sure and you will always find something for yourself), often if you don’t come exactly at the time of opening it was hard to find a free table, but the waiters quickly tried to find it and reserve it for you. We put a strained four on food, like "slightly spoiled Europeans" : )
Bars on the beach, near the pool and in the main lobby bar, this is a separate assessment... Let's put it this way: it will be wild for unprepared tourists to listen to stupid jokes of a slightly wild bartender, or wait 10 minutes until he talks loudly with a colleague and wants to pay attention to you... or start slapping you on the shoulder and saying "Harashyo bro, come on. " From that moment on, orders were made only in English, which we advise you, you will feel a huge difference! The hotel is 95% focused only on Italians, so if you and 5 Italians are at the bar, you will be served at number 6. Do not look for justice : ) I give a three for drinks (but for some citizens from the Russian Federation, the emphasis on the word "some" is I liked it, apparently somewhere there is even worse, with alcohol for example... Yes, by the way, because of the gentlemen "parle Italiano" you will be made good espresso coffee in any bar, this is a plus for the top three : -)

Since we are talking about Italians, do not think that the title of this review is just like that : -) EVERYTHING!! ! Absolutely the entire animation and entertainment infrastructure has been built and prepared for the Italian public, all competitions, games, entertainment are only in "Italian"... this did not bother us, but active comrades who want to participate somewhere or do something will be disappointed : ) even for example gymnastics in the water, which we went to with surprise for us, we interrupted at the moment when the animator began to explain what everyone needs to do in Italian : )) it was funny! We put four for light language discrimination (namely four and not three, just because 500 Italians are better than 10-20 "some" Russian-speaking copies from the edges of the USSR's homeland). Emphasis on the word "some", I think you understand what kind of tourists we are talking about.
Summing up, we can say that this hotel will not leave you with bad impressions in general, translate the rest of the nuances into a joke and make fun of yourself and everything that happens, having a good mood here you will rest for all 95% and even learn a couple of Italian phrases : -)
