In short:
1. Appearance.
The hotel opened after 4 years of inactivity. It can be seen that cosmetic repairs, marafet brought, but if you find fault, you can notice a lot of little things, such as stains on the walls, the corner is beaten off, the glasses on the pool bar are all worn out, the substrates on the sunbeds are all spree, towels for the beach / pool are not the first freshness (softly speaking), etc.
The territory is not big, but well-groomed. The pools are clean and cleaned.
The restaurant is one but spacious. One bar near the restaurant, one by the pool. there is also a place by the pool for issuing snacks during the day, but I never took anything there, since breakfast, lunch, dinner were enough
2. Food

They fed excellently. The variety of dishes was constantly changing. Every day there were chicken, beef, fish. Plus a bunch of dishes from their kitchen, which was quite edible. As for the bar-restaurant and the pool bar, it is clearly inferior to the kitchen. Both service and range. Constantly something ends, there is no choice, alcohol is diluted, and this is a fact. Bartenders are so-so, mood people. In short about the bar, then choose another hotel if you want a quality drink (it’s not about getting drunk, but just drinking a normal cocktail or beer will not work. Bartenders look at you like a beggar, unlike kitchen workers, cleaners, hotel managers and etc. )
3. Entertainment
We were traveling with a child, so we were led by the description and reviews by type - "animators work all day long, contests, etc. ). But in reality everything turned out to be not so colorful. We did not see the animators. There were two girls who spent about one hour in the evening they played, danced with children, painted faces, etc. But it was from 20:00 to 21:00 During the day, some dances, aerobics, etc. are arranged with everyone who is by the pool from time to time. , but for everyone - both children and adults. If you have a hope that someone will do something with your child during the day so that you can sunbathe, then unfortunately it will not work.
More entertainment for adults. From morning until late at night, a DJ, a jock and the same two girls constantly arrange some kind of contests, exercises, aerobics, etc. For adults it will be interesting (but not a fact)))
4. Service.
At the reception there is one person who can solve all your questions - Mukhamed (small, bald). The rest can only invent prices for various additional services, but then still coordinate them with Mukhamed. Russian knows only Mukhamed. Norm cleaners. Smiling, polite and clean properly. Kitchen - well done. Bar - I wrote above (I would put a couple of people from the kitchen on the bar). By the way, there was a young trainee at the bar a couple of times, so well done - he smiled, asked what cocktail, with what, etc. And two "pros" knew two cocktails - tequila, sprite and some kind of syrup (the main thing is different in color, so that you feel the variety))))) and the second tequila, juice and some kind of syrup.
5. Beach

Drive 20 minutes. The first days were normal, when there were not many tourists in the hotel, but on the fourth day there were already pickups, both there and back. There were even cases. that someone did not fit. I don’t know how they got there later... The beach itself corresponds to many reviews - there is a parking lot for yachts that smoke, where you can dive normally, then you need to go to someone else’s pier, there were already sunbeds in recent days. But those who just want to sunbathe and swim 20m once or twice, may not pay attention to such things.
6. Bottom line
The second time I would not go to this hotel, especially at the prices that they now hang. As for the first time in Egypt, it's not bad, but after listening to the reviews of friends and acquaintances, as well as other tourists from other hotels, I definitely would not go to this hotel a second time. There are many hotels at the same prices, but with much more advantages.
P. S. If you want to save money, it is better not to buy anything from the guide. You can also take a free tour, BUT in no case do not buy anything in the oil store and in the market during this tour - overpay 2-3 times.
Have a good holiday everyone!
