Хороший отель, но на 5* совсем не тянет Good hotel, but not 5* at all

From the pros:
+ large green area, many pools, water park.
+ there are many shops nearby, you can freely walk around the territory of the hotel.
+ clean pools.
+ good animation, interesting shows, my husband and I had fun.
+ delicious breakfasts.
+ the presence of a tennis court.
+ delicious multi-colored alcoholic cocktails at the bar in the lobby near the reception (they are made by only one bartender Mukhamed).
+ foam party and fire show on the beach. . . Be sure to go, we were delighted.
+ excursions (although they do not belong to the hotel).
Of the minuses:
- settled in the 5th building, 3rd floor (view of the sea and the central pool), paid extra 10 dollars. for the number. The room is clean but run down. The toilet was constantly leaking, the safe didn't work and there were rusty chairs on the balcony.
queues at restaurants.

-food for an amateur (salads nikakushchie). From tasty I advise fish in batter, chicken, baked tomatoes with cheese, sweets, coffee with milk and everything that is cooked in ovens on the street. The best part is the breakfasts. Fried eggs, cheese (white, similar to cottage cheese - but it tastes like our Feta cheese), pancakes with chocolate. Where there is a water park at the bar, delicious village potatoes and burgers.
- it's hard to sign up for free in a la carte restaurants (you need to sign up before 9 am, because then there are no places). We hit only one Italian. We liked. . . Pasta with crab is sooooo tasty and chic pizza.
- there are a lot of vacationers on the main pool by the sea and it is problematic to find a normal free sunbed.
- at the bar by the main pool near the beach there are huge queues.
- NOT tasty alcohol. (we knew about it, so we came with our own)
- Terrible $3 hookahs with disposable pipes.
In general, we liked the hotel, as we did not dwell on the bad and were constantly in a good mood. Animators are excellent, disco in the evening with normal music. The food is normal, the first 2 days we tried everything and chose what we like to taste. They didn't go hungry. They drank alcohol both their own and Egyptian. They did not complain about health, the stomachs are normal! Those who complain of stomach pain are probably snorting water from pools or from the sea....or drinking water from a tap.
The hotel does not reach 5 stars, but 4 will be a stretch.
A separate topic is excursions. Be sure to buy them! Staying in a hotel for a week is boring. The coolest excursions:
1. Diving with a walk on a yacht. (from 11.00 to 17.00 we were at sea) There were 2 stops. My husband went scuba diving twice. I don’t know how to swim, so in a vest and with a mask near the yacht I looked at the reef. A very tasty lunch was on the yacht. The price is $ 35 per person.

2. Safari (ATVs, buggies, camels, horses, dinner, concert in the Bedouin village). We rode quad bikes for about 15 minutes. There were a lot of us, everyone rode in a row. Then they changed and changed to buggies and drove for about 30 minutes. Therefore, I advise you to take a separate walk on ATVs with an instructor. You will go with him yourself, there will be no crowds of tourists with you who are constantly lagging behind and who have to wait forever. You can ride really fast. The concert was interesting, the dinner was delicious.
