Arriving at the hotel, I was immediately upset by its appearance. Reception is the hallmark of any hotel. Old furniture, very old, with dirty, lazy upholstery, dirty, slapped tables - this is at 8 in the morning, when there were not a lot of people there yet, rude staff.
Coming to the reception, every time they tried to tell me "what do you want for this price. "
Sorry, but the cost without a last-minute tour corresponds to normal 5. And I bought a tour for its full price - this is a feature of my family (it's hard to find a last-minute tour for 6 + 3 people at the same time).
I would like to talk about this:

the rooms are damp and cold, the air conditioners for heating in the central building do not work, it is very cold at night, we were not accommodated in the central building overlooking the garden, and after demanding an hour, they found a way to turn on the air conditioning in two of the three rooms. We came to the room, it was very dusty, a huge number of mosquitoes, it seemed that no one had lived in the room for a long time, and before our arrival, the maximum they did was to make the bed and put towels.
Nothing settled.
Walking around the territory (very small, but relatively well-groomed), we met tourists who had already lived in the hotel for several days and received good advice "You NEED TO LOWER YOUR BAR IN RELATION TO A 5 * HOTEL AND TRY TO REST. " All 9 days tried to "lower the bar"
Food: relatively normal for Egypt, there was practically no variety, but everything is fresh and "you can eat. " But dishes are a problem. She is not there all the time, if plates are brought at least sometimes, then with glasses, glasses, cups and spoons it’s just a nightmare. They never exist. Wine will be brought to you in a faceted glass, and beer in a glass - and this is their norm. It was also difficult with the portions that the staff of the food outlet give out.
On weekends from Friday to Monday, a lot of local families from Cairo come to the hotel. This is where the dishes appear, which will surely disappear after their departure, for lunch and breakfast a slightly larger assortment of products (they dine in a restaurant separate from us) and of course there are no restrictions for them in the number of servings and in the size of the portion itself.
The beach is not bad, the sunbeds are mostly broken, and the mattresses are old, but you can almost always lie down by the sea. Girls-animators, tried, despite "the cost that we pay. " Well done.
Panton is old, I consider it a little dangerous, since in many places the fences are damaged and it is possible, with a slight storm, not only to fall on the reefs and get damaged, but also to suffer significantly, falling on a protruding piece of metal in the fence itself.
There are reefs and there is something to see.
There is one more nuance: in a worthy 5 * hotel, during a storm, their vacationers are not allowed to go to Pantone, here there were no problems with this.

Bar on the beach: again, not bad in terms of normal juices, bottled beer and sweet drinks, and the bartenders tried to make cocktails, but I didn’t see a single whole glass there. Dishes on the bar or disposable, but very small or plastic broken and badly worn glasses, there is no desire to drink from them.
WI-FI with the ability to communicate at least in viber is missing even at the reception.
To summarize: we rested for 4-, if you forget how much you had to be nervous at the very beginning, but by the 9th day everything is gradually forgotten.
Let's just say - I will never return to this hotel, but this does not apply to Egypt itself. There is something to see in Egypt, there are decent hotels and it is worth going there more than once!
