Before leaving, I read a lot of information about this hotel, both negative and positive.
I decided to share my experience with you.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The impression of the hotel was amazing: a huge green area, many pools (not even counted), oriental-style buildings, flowering trees and shrubs, in general, beauty.
Particularly impressive was dinner at the restaurant on the second floor in the fresh air overlooking the hotel.
ROOMS

The room is quite spacious, there is a TV, a refrigerator, a safe, a kettle with coffee, tea, etc. in the room. The bathroom has a shower with hydromassage, hair dryer, telephone. A cozy balcony overlooking the pool and the neighboring building, a little further to the sea. As soon as we settled in, we paid the cleaner $ 3, so we immediately repaired the safe, which, as it turned out, did not work, showed where everything was, set up the TV. Every day they cleaned, changed towels, bed linen. They brought 3 liters of water a day for 2, teas, coffee, everything was as it should be. In general, we were satisfied. Every day they left $ 1-2 for this, our cleaner was very grateful and tried his best))
Minus - a little dead furniture, which did not affect the overall impression.
NUTRITION
Quite diverse, everyone could choose according to their taste. A lot of vegetables: olives, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. , fruits: dates, apples, oranges, pineapples.
For breakfast, we took an omelet (made on the grill), vegetables, a variety of coffee, donuts, you could take cereal with milk.
For dinner, they always cooked something delicious on the grill: meat, fish, squid.
Of the minuses, only juices - they really look like yupi, especially orange.
SEA is the most important
We were in Egypt for the first time, and we went mainly for the sake of the sea and fish)) And I can say that the sea exceeded all our expectations. A stunning coral reef, a variety of fish, even the famous marine inhabitant Grisha swam out several times, the length is not less than a meter, or even more, though we didn’t see butterfly fish and stingrays, they say it’s not the season for them.
The water temperature in the sea is 27-28 degrees. I just didn’t want to go out of the sea, T-ra air was blowing somewhere in the same way, in the evening, when we got out of the water, it was not very comfortable because of the wind.
And so during the day, on the contrary, it was good that the wind, not so much the sun burned down.
The red flag was until 10, maximum 11 in the morning, and then yellow until the end of the day (once in the afternoon they hung out for an hour). When I was driving, I was very worried that I didn’t buy enough if there was a constant red flag, but everything turned out to be not so scary : )

And there really were currents, once there was such a strong current that I didn’t even have time to understand how I was carried away several meters from the pontoon, but it’s good that there are ropes and buoys in the water. Men with fins rowed in one place and to no avail, only climbed out along the rope. On that day, 10 people were carried away along the reef, so the rescuer had to catch them. And once there was a cold current, it was so easy to swim a few meters and the water was already hot))
My recommendations are to swim closer to the pontoon and ropes, and then you will not be afraid of anything)))
If you are traveling with children, then they can swim aground, there are enough fish there, and not deep.
We were very pleased with our trip and will be back again.
I recommend you go if you get the chance.
