We rested at the hotel with friends in a company of 10 people from 01/16/17 to 01/23/17. It was in Egypt that we rested for the first time and, of course, we were a little unpleasantly surprised by the service as a whole. But the hotel itself is not bad, And now in more detail:
Territory and exterior: The hotel is large and beautiful, beautiful interior, very well-groomed green area, many pools, there is a children's, heated, deep, very small beach, but a beautiful reef. Has its own dive center. There is no free Wi-Fi in the hotel, a paid one costs about $15 per person, the speed is not bad, but for $6 buy a Vodafone card and don't worry. Separately, I would like to say for the hotel guide, a very intrusive and unpleasant type, they didn’t buy excursions from him - that’s all, now the number one enemy)
We also had a transfer to the airport at 14:30, but they evicted us and cut off the bracelets anyway at 12. But then they give us a room to take a shower and change clothes.

Number: we were all settled in building M in rooms overlooking the garden. The building is located in the middle of the hotel, convenient location. Each room has its own small very beautiful terrace with walls entwined with flowers, chairs and a table. But the rooms themselves are not new and, although they are not bad, they need to be updated for a long time. This is especially noticeable in the bathroom. Hot water disappeared a couple of times, but this problem was solved, every day they brought 2 2l bottles of water, there was tea and coffee, the mini-bar was empty, the hairdryer was very weak. They cleaned every day, but the towels were not always changed, it happened that you had to ask, the towels themselves were in poor condition, the bed was decent.
Food: this is a separate conversation))) The food at the hotel is not very good, and although there is a choice and you can eat, everything is equally tasty, but you definitely won’t stay hungry. But, as the guys who had previously vacationed in Egypt said, so in every hotel. But every day there were 1-2 delicious meals like fried chicken etc. They made good pasta and delicious desserts. Other than the main restaurant were in a la carte, don't even go, it's just a waste of time, the food is terrible. Two pool bars make good pizza, sandwiches, and ice cream. For breakfast they make delicious scrambled eggs and scrambled eggs, very tasty croissants. After the main restaurant closes, one a la carte restaurant has food taken from the main restaurant and you can eat there at night. There is a 24-hour bar with free drinks.
Drinks: all juices have only color, they taste very diluted with water, you could only drink cola, locally produced alcohol is terrible, rum was the most tolerant of all, but, frankly, their rum, whiskey and vodka did not differ much in taste. The standard story when the bar runs out of some kind of drink at 10 pm.
Animation: during the day it was practically non-existent, except for sluggish aqua aerobics, etc. , evening animation is carried out by the efforts of the animators, there was an evening of karaoke and "Guess the Melody", it was just super. Animation ends at 11, there is nowhere else to dance.
Staff: nice and polite, most minor problems were solved after a call to the reception, all English-speaking.
In general, apart from tolerable disadvantages, the hotel is very good in its price category.
