Emotions subsided, now you can write a review : )
1. The territory is huge. And very beautiful. A lot of greenery and swimming pools, many of them didn't even appear on the beach, didn't reach : ) True, the huge territory has a small minus. From the buildings close to the sea, it is far to get to the reception. But this is nonsense.
2. Sea. The purest. The most beautiful. Corals and fish you just need to see, no photos can convey this. This feeling of volume, filled with beauty. It was stormy every day in the morning, but by 11 o’clock they hung out a yellow flag and those who wished could swim. There was never a calm. Yes, and he was not needed at all : ) When there was a tide, it was possible to enter the depth from the "puddle", and not from the pier. If there is such an opportunity, I highly recommend it, it is still more beautiful there and the water is even cleaner. Be careful with sea urchins, I advise you to buy slippers at the hotel for 5 c. u. By the way, about the flow. For those who swim poorly, I advise you to do this to the left of the pier (if you look at the sea from the hotel), sooner or later you will be washed ashore near the pier and there is no need to be afraid of being carried away to a neighboring hotel. In general, the "strong current" problem did not exist for me. Sometimes you just need to raise your head to the surface and see where you are.

3. Numbers. Large, clean, well equipped with everything you need. Huge balconies. True, in some places traces of poor-quality work are visible. Sloppy seams and cracks on the balcony and in the bathroom. Everything else raises no objections. Upon arrival, they gave one and a half liter bottles of mineral water, Coca-Cola and Sprite. Tea and coffee were delivered as the bags disappeared. The safe worked perfectly, I advise everyone to use it.
4. Nutrition. I liked it very much. True, he ate mainly only meat, vegetables and fruits. And sweets in the morning. I didn’t risk trying local salads after reading reviews. But I liked the meat dishes. Constantly a bird in different types and in huge quantities, and on the street, on the grill, different meat delicacies were prepared every day. There was beef almost every day. Once there were crabs. A couple of times there was a delicious barbecue on the bones. Fruit, however, is not enough. Watermelons were only a couple of times, but there were a lot of apples, pears and grapes. Taki during dinner there were queues for drinks and lack of glasses. But the waiters rushed between the tables like bees and often just walked around and asked what I would drink. There was always enough for lunch and breakfast.
5. Service. On the highest level. Everyone smiles, greets, asks how I am doing and if everything is fine (although at the end of the holiday it started to tire : ) ), the waiters are very polite and smiling. In general, all the staff are great.
During the purchase of the tour, I chose a superior room with a sea view. At the reception, they immediately gave me this same sea view (in the third building), without question, but it seemed to me not good enough. Came, talked to the manager and I was promised the next day to change. Promised - changed to a room with a great view of the beach and the island of Tiran. Without any payment. Just for the smile and "thank you".
6. Beach. Sand and small pebbles. The beach itself is very large. There were plenty of sun loungers, however, I attribute this to the fact that I was in the hot season and vacationers often preferred to lie near the pools. The area is clean and constantly cleaned.

7. Entertainment. And here in the evenings I was bored. Dinner started at half past seven, and the evening program only at half past ten. True, he traveled by himself, so he had to constantly look for someone and something to entertain himself with. The evening program in the amphitheater is almost no different from similar ones in hotels in Turkey : )
It seems to be everything. I wanted to be brief, but it turned out as always. And further. Some kind of incomprehensible situation with time zones there. In early September, dawn began at about five in the morning, and dusk began at the beginning of the seventh evening. By the way, this was connected with the fact that it was possible to swim in the sea only up to six. After sunset, all evil spirits (various spiny fish, moray eels and, as they say, rays) got out of their daytime shelters. The time zone in Cairo is the same as in Kyiv, as in Antalya, but for some reason the local time differs from Kiev by an hour (GMT + 1). But here is the situation, I did not find an explanation for this.
And further. I advise everyone to visit the papyri shop, which is located in the building with the reception (from the reception to the left, towards the ATMs). The most beautiful paintings of any size and for every taste, and the wonderful guy Ahmed speaks good Russian and will help you choose something to your liking.
All. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll try to answer : )
