Not the first time in Egypt. I am writing this review while on vacation.
Hotel on the 2 coastline. Not far from the airport. Be aware that planes often land over the hotel. It suited us quite well - the children are delighted, an additional daily show). Suitable for a relaxing holiday (the main party is in Novotel Beach: daytime entertainment with animators, beach volleyball, mini disco, disco for adults. We did not go. Children get very tired during the day) . Resting with 2 children 6 and 9 years old. We arrived at 4 pm. Settled in quickly. They offered to immediately have a bite to eat at the pool bar - french fries with ketchup, ice cream and drinks. The guys at the reception are very attentive - they told everything and gave it out. Guests are transported to their rooms on electric carts—quickly and without unnecessary annoying noise from the wheels of suitcases.
Family number. One double bed in a separate room and a two-story children's bed (right at the entrance to the room, the children were surprised). There is also a sofa as an extra bed next to the large bed. The hotel consists of two-story buildings located on different levels. In each room, respectively, access to the garden or balcony. Cleaned up daily. Water, coffee and tea are also replenished. The minibar is free of charge 1 time upon arrival and without a wish (hereinafter paid) is not replenished. Standard set - sprite, fanta, cola. There is also a TV, air conditioning, safe, wardrobes in the room. Shower and toilet are separate. Everything worked for us.

The territory is small, but clean, landscaped. There are 3 pools—near the bar a deeper one, opposite the reception and a small one on the upper tier. Everything is clean and tidy. Card towels. Can be changed once a day.
On the sea, go across the road to Novotel Beach. Considering the manner of driving in Egypt, a hotel worker helps to cross the road. At least 100 times back and forth go, always smiling and not irritated). The sea is wonderful. Especially in the morning, while no one muddied him during the day. The tide is low in the morning, so you can get closer to the corals and look at the fish. The beach is sandy so perfect for kids. Many write that the beach is dirty, so my dears, raise your ass and throw away bulls, papers, cups... Entertainment is offered on the beach - diving, parasailing, boat, banana. There are enough beds for everyone. So there is no need to run and borrow at 5 am.
Food is standard for Egypt. Everything is the same, but you can always choose according to your taste. What's left over from breakfast will be re-cooked into a new dish for lunch. Agree, at home you also do not scatter food. If you ask, they will bring you wine (dry white or red), beer or something stronger (we did not explore what else is there))). Cleaned up and covered quickly. Tablecloths and napkins are clean. The only thing is that there is no children's menu. There is, of course, for breakfast milk oatmeal and rice, mashed potatoes—but my little ones "ruined"))). Yes, and you need to come at the very beginning of breakfast, lunch or dinner, otherwise you will get dishes that are not to the taste of more nimble guests.
Citizens vacationers, if you are ready to put up with some shortcomings, then Novotel Palm is a good option for relaxation. A roof over your head, food, and most importantly, water (in the country of deserts and stones, where it is scarce, but there is always fresh cold and hot for you, and as much as you wish) are provided to you. Have a nice holiday!
