. . . I thought to write after the eviction, immediately and about everything. But, I decided to briefly mention a couple of points now. Maybe this information will be useful to someone.
1) Beach / pool.
I want to note: I belong to the category of tourists who always leave tips, and I do not spare a dollar for the recreation team employee (these are the guys in uniform T-shirts on the beach and by the pool) so that he can find a free sunbed. I just think it's more civilized than leaving towels and panama hats everywhere you can, in order to stake out several sunbeds at once for the whole day.

So: here the staff reserves the sunbeds! Can you imagine? What is condemned in normal "fives" is considered ill-mannered, uncivilized, redneck... Here this is the norm. Normal practice. Arriving at this hotel, be prepared for the fact that it will be problematic to find a free place on your own even at 9 am, since already at 8 most of the sunbeds are occupied by picturesquely laid out towels (often by the staff themselves), and the dollar will not solve the problem. For your dollar, they will first indicate to you the number of the umbrella under which you can accommodate, and in an hour they will come in a crowd (four of us) and ask to be released urgently, otherwise "here another lady used to borrow, but now she is so upset there... crying" (read "paid more"). That's what happened to me. I explained that I did not take someone else's place, but paid 20 pounds (a little more than a dollar) for showing me free sunbeds. And... here is the most interesting))) That scourge that pointed me to this umbrella earlier (literally: "you may take number 10") and took money for it..... got frostbitten! Stood and was silent, did not admit!
Then everything is banal: I, my husband and child were asked to immediately release the sun loungers. Needless to say, there was no crying lady at all, and after an hour and a half the same (!!! ) beach-boy released the sunbeds for a couple of Germans. They probably paid more.... Unpleasant? Not that word! But I made conclusions: henceforth I will never pay for this service. Don't have enough inventory at the hotel? So, I will choose another hotel where all guests are equally respected, and not differentiated according to nationality.
2) Kitchen.
The main restaurant is conditionally divided into 6 zones, which are located around the island with dishes. Every evening there are many guests who have to wait for a seat to become available. This is despite the fact that one of these 6 zones is usually blocked by chairs. Apparently there is not enough staff. But is it possible to solve this problem? Or hire more people. Or warn at the entrance that there are no places now, come back in 20 minutes. Yes, there are many options!
The menu is very democratic. Highly. I have been visiting Egypt since 2003. Sometimes, even 2 times a year. Always in the "five". So I have never seen a more "democratic" menu. )))
3) Number
There are no complaints here. Initially booked preferred front area. The location is great. Furniture is normal. There are mosquito nets on the windows. No questions
4) Territory.
Big, beautiful, well-groomed. There are places to walk and sit.
5) Entertainment
I can not say anything. I don't drink alcohol, in any form. I don't go to local discos. But other vacationers say that everything is ok with entertainment.
Conclusion: take your pick. If you do not bother too much, are not picky about food, and are ready for outright neglect of you as a guest - come. But if you are planning to celebrate a family celebration, or DR - choose another hotel, save your nerves.
