I agree with many of the previous negative comments! We arrived on December 9, the plane was not delayed, and there were no problems! At 2 pm we were already at the hotel, and then the first questions and problems began, they immediately informed that there were no normal rooms, and if we want a good room, then we need to pay extra! The surcharge was $ 25, for which we were torn off the handle of the suitcase; The safe did not work in the room, we went to the reception 3 times, the answer is the same, after 20 minutes they will pass away and fix it, be in the room! Repaired after 2 hours. We lived in building 8, the room itself was nothing, the view from the room was on the palm trees and the pool, it was quiet and peaceful! The room was cleaned and the bedding changed regularly, but the bedding was always a little wrinkled, probably problems with the irons; ! The Arab cleaning the room was friendly, and a couple of times he made different flowers out of towels.
As for food, there is a choice, you can eat! Fish, chicken, beef, lots of vegetables, sweets, etc. The problem with the lack of plates is not so big, but there was one with glasses! If you didn’t get to the front rows of those who wanted to get drinks, then you had to stand and wait at the bar for the glasses to appear! There was enough fruit, almost every dinner there were pomegranates, oranges, grapefruits, sometimes grapes, a couple of times there were persimmons, but something not very edible!
Everyone can choose alcohol to their taste! We drank mostly beer and gin tonic! Drinks ("juices") were, to put it mildly, not very good! A pleasant Arab worked at the central bar, who called himself Pharaoh! Always smiling and welcoming!

The area is green and pleasant! Cacti, palm trees, trees, flowers are different! There were enough pools, but only the first three days the water was cold, and I didn’t really want to swim there! Then they turned on the heating in two pools, but we tried to go to the sea! Animation is very weak, I would even say no!
The beach is normal, you can’t swim much at 10-15 meters from the shore, but you can see fish of different types and colors, which is what we did! There are a lot of fish, they eat straight from the hands! Very beautiful! Once they were allowed to swim and dive next to the pontoon.
Were on excursions in Cairo, the Cairo Museum and the Pyramids! The guide was a good fellow, constantly talking about the history of Egypt and answering all questions!
Summing up, we can say that, in general, the rest was a success, thanks to the sea, fish, the Cairo Museum, the pyramids and the fat to ourselves!
