I will say right away - horror stories about the rooms and the ghetto of the 4th series, with regards only to the Standards. We read the reviews and took the Superior, and did not miscalculate....upon arrival at 12 o'clock at night, we were settled in good rooms 21 ** in the buildings closest to the sea, overlooking the sea, which we were pleased with the whole vacation . . really the central air conditioner is on its last legs and doesn't always give cold air. . . but it's not very hot, the temperature in the room was around 20 and comfortable, we didn't turn it off at all, sticking the hotel's ballpoint pen into a good energy-saving nest from the first day. .
Friends in the room did not have a telephone, but after 2 requests to the reception, everything was fixed.
From the faults, this is all . .
When meeting with the guide, we heard reviews from people from the "ghetto" that they really do not have water flowing at all....for us it was a shock... and we did not regret it again...

The hotel is clearly on the mend after joining it to a large international company and rebranding, this was evident in the 3 weeks that we were there...
The staff is very friendly and friendly, made many friends, waiters and other staff. . . actively learn Russian, communicate easily in English. .
I want to mention the Lebanese restaurant (I really liked being there, despite the musicians who were yelling and sawing the violin))) cakes... kebab, chicken on the coals)))
Also a wonderful Sea View restaurant, we often spent time there too...
There are several more restaurants in the central building in a small one during lunch free ice cream. . .
Of course, there are dissatisfied waiters on the beaches who begin to swell when we asked for a few glasses in one hand - but when we started talking to them in an unhappy tone, they immediately gave....and as practice has shown - they quickly changed their place of work to waiters in other restaurants... apparently thanks to the scandalous little people who were not too lazy to start a showdown because of this . .
Housekeeping is excellent, I don't think it was thanks to tips. . . a few times I even asked the cleaner not to put up a "do not disturb" sign so he could clean up. .
With regards to animation, if you are not on the first beach, it is stupidly not there... there are 6 Russian-speaking animators
We saw several times the animation in the evening - about nothing....even if you get drunk well. ABOUT ANYTHING . . the Italians are really delighted... there are a lot of them, yelling at the sea teeming....but they also say the Russians don’t know how to behave...
There is a disco, but all the drinks in it are paid, it is small. . .

there are discos on the beach that start at 10 or 11, and what was our surprise when on the beach where they pour until 12 at night, during the disco we were offered to buy a serving of whiskey for $ 5! we were a little freaked out and started looking for the truth.... as the cute girls from the animation explained to us, we had to buy "tickets" from them in advance for $ 20 so that we could drink and dance on the beach. . . and kindly offered the stowaways "to play then to basketball" - Here is such an "all inclusive" concept....
It was of course a big bummer and we went to smoke hookah....
By the way, about the hookah . . on the territory of the hotel 50 pounds - a little less than 10 bucks, if you go to the pier it will be 20 pounds in the first cafe, and after this cafe there is another one - so there is a price tag of 10 pounds and a hookah of excellent quality... there are drinks and normal tea, which is just awful in the hotel. . .
The food is normal to say so... well, they don’t eat a pig... what else to do, but everything else is cooked well)) The swill is disgusting, they didn’t find what you can drink so as not to frown))) but this is Egypt... to go nowhere
Beach 1st - like herrings in barrels on top of each other, a complete likeness of Anapa 86....near the pier - boats and boats are constantly scurrying back and forth, thanks to them the oil film is visible in the sea and the constant stink of diesel fuel... we had enough for half an hour, we didn’t return there anymore....the entrance promised as sandy, only 5 meters wide in the same place . .
From panton (2nd beach) you can more or less comfortably swim and dive....although in the evening the crap thrown from the ships swims there too, swimming among gobies and packages becomes uncomfortable... but the fish willingly eat this whole muck and there are a lot of them
The corals are dead in places, but fish of all kinds are there in abundance. . . and growing right before our eyes. . .
By the way, who is going there, ask for 18 ** rooms, there will be a sea view and the latest renovation, they were just finishing this building on September 5 when we left....
This was my 3rd trip to Egypt and the last, but the hotel as a whole was better than the previous 2 fives, but naturally worse than other parts of the world where we have already visited...

A little more time will pass and the hotel will gain momentum, everything is going to improve and recover it....they are striving with all their might....Well, the previous owners launched, what can you do . .
Look like that's it. . .
