It was the first time in Egypt, before that we had a rest in Turkey in a high-rated hotel. On arrival in the evening after 22.00 immediately sent to the restaurant for dinner. There was a shock, the air conditioners were turned off, the smell of the canteen and food that I didn’t want to eat, cheese and sausage were inedible, in short, a snack near the scurrying staff, who were cleaned after dinner. The mood was spoiled. Then we settled in the room, we chose the building in advance, not the bungalow, we did the right thing, the room is better than in the bungalow, the plasma TV is clean, but the furniture is old, there were no bottles of wine and fruit like in Turkey, the safe is free, the refrigerator is empty: 2 bottles of water. By the way, there were no problems with bottled water, you could always take a sufficient amount. Air conditioning is noisy, but worked, it was not hot - comfortable. The next day, we went to a restaurant for breakfast, sadly remembering the evening dinner, but we were pleasantly surprised, a good breakfast, it was clean, cool, the staff flew like bees, the food was fresh, tasty, except for the mentioned sausages, sausages, cheeses. Delicious yogurt, snacks for children. Meat is not served for breakfast, but lunch even more exceeded our expectations, there were many different dishes, meat and fish, delicious sweets and pastries. There were few fruits, but in principle the food was good. Although compared to a slightly more expensive hotel in Turkey, everything is worse.
The hotel area is very large, green, well-groomed, clean, slides work, good pools with bars where you can eat and eat ice cream, beer is good, local alcohol is 20 degrees, it's impossible to get drunk. But during the day, the staff constantly dragged a barrel of chemicals around the territory and poisoned insects right next to people, they had to change their place of rest so as not to breathe chemicals. The beach is good, sandy sunset and a lagoon for children, everyone splashed there, you could immediately look at the fish. For those who wished to enjoy the fauna and living reefs, there was a pontoon in the sea where you could swim with a mask, but in the morning a red flag usually hung, waves were not allowed into the sea from the pontoon, but we had plenty of time to swim there after lunch.
Animation seemed weak monotonous to us, for adults with children it was possible to make a disco not at night, but while the children were awake. There is no music on the beach itself, only in the pools. Animators invited to various paid parties, but we did not go with the children.

We visited the shops near the hotel, there are no price tags, the sellers vying with each other persistently try to sell their goods, injecting the buyer. If you try to talk to them accordingly and lively bargain, they can be rude. Bought after bargaining a few things at prices lower than in Ukraine. We wanted to buy alcohol, but found only a bar where the cheapest wine cost $19 a bottle, then we bought it in the duty free of Sharm el-Sheikh airport for $6.
... We and others were constantly pursued by indigestion, saved by medicines, maybe the increased unusual diet was to blame.
A little strained a large number of Arabs resting in the hotel, especially on weekends, their women dressed from head to toe in black cassocks looked accusingly at our girls in bathing suits.
