I really wanted to give everyone all five fives to pour out enthusiasm BUT...
everything was smeared on the last day - WE WERE POISONED, and we didn’t understand what - on the last day it’s clear not up to experiments - we ate a simple and proven omelet - tomatoes - croissants - my wife and I felt lousy after a couple of hours after breakfast, although we didn’t even have an omelet intersected - she ate from the distribution I cooked. the child, thank God, was not injured, although everything seems to be from the same table...
an urgently taken broad-spectrum antibiotic helped - after 3-4 hours, weakness and other less aesthetic signs of poisoning receded.
CONCLUSION: COMPLETE THE FIRST AID KIT AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT!
nevertheless good

1. room - we lived in a relax zone on the 1st floor - my wife really liked it - it's nice to go straight from the room to the pool. the room is really very large, the terrace, the air conditioner works clearly, hot water without interruption, on TV only RTR-Planet and then with interference, the furniture is old, especially the closet - but the beds are solid and do not creak. the child has a lorry, we have a three-sleeping bed - actually 2.5x2.5, the supply of additional blankets / pillows lay unclaimed in the closet. we saw how some rooms were being renovated and new furniture was being assembled - it’s impossible to guess which room has already been renovated - probably the easiest thing for those who want to have plasma, brand new furniture, etc. is to ask directly at the reception for baksheesh. by the way, they gave the number for that, they didn’t extort baksheesh - I think the dollar was also not necessary for the cleaner - everything was done not only neatly, but also controlled with the reception by a control call
what was disappointing - I have never seen such a poor set of shampoo gels when I checked in, there was only 1 tube of shampoo and the reception said that they have such a standard... I didn’t understand this - to build a hotel with 700-800 rooms of 50 squares each, give a meal -drinking with virtually no limits and huddling on 3-cent shampoo????
2. Territory - a picture from space on Google fully reflects the situation - 2/3 is densely built up with a building - 1/3 by the sea - walking and beach... left-view of the garbage-construction site on the right: road and fence of another hotel. It turns out that the "resort view" is only in the rooms on the pools. in general, everything is clean, well-groomed, smells good - flowers - lawns are not watered with slop (as is done in many hotels in Egypt to save water). There is a court and minigolf, closer to the beach - an amphitheater with a children's disco. HOTEL FEATURES: in relaxation, the passage is only through the main building (reception-lobby-restaurants area), so if you live in relaxation, then you can’t walk from the beach / pool in shorts / swimsuit to the room - you have to dress (at least my upbringing required me to)
3. Pools - there are 3 groups:
ACTIV - the largest and coldest - the central part is a meter deep in appendices up to 1.8 - even divers have their first training there. Animation: water aerobics, volleyball in the water, water polo gates, 2-3 surfboards float freely - the favorite pastime of the Russians is to climb it with four of us and try to keep a drunken balance. Separately, a children's pool - 50 cm and SLIDES from where it is difficult to get our child out. the smallest for children from 2 years old, large - for children under 10 years old
RELAX - a pool with a deep main part and a shallow channel around a shallow children's pool. The children's pool 50cm is fenced with a high fence - everything is done so that the children from the children's pool do not gurgle big

HOT - located next to the relaxation in a small courtyard - with us, the water in the "heated" and relaxation did not differ in temperature
near the relaxation there is also a cabin "Jacuzzi" - a hot tub for 3-4 people, exhausted by life and tourists, languidly tries to portray work. Nonsense.
4. Beach / Sea: as already mentioned - a long pantone with 3 platforms. 1st is purely for sunbathing 2nd with a descent into the water - it's great when a black flag hangs - in the lagoon there is waist-deep water and there are some fish, the corals around are dead, so you need to take food with you to attract fish. The 3rd platform at the cliff (by the way, it is not yet in the Google picture) is the largest, there are many sunbeds and several ladders for descending into the water... IF YOU COME TO LOOK AT THE FISH - you are here. Gorgeous reef with a wide variety of fish. Since the entrance is immediately to the depth - slippers are not required. From the shore, the depth is on average knee-deep, if you are going to wander - buy slippers - there are a lot of hedgehogs. other living creatures - we saw moray eels, lionfish, sea snakes, the coast is full of hermit crabs on the last day (4th day of a calm sea and a white flag) jellyfish appeared, listing all the variety of fish to no avail - a lot
5. Restaurants and bars: I recommend choosing a place not immediately, but after wandering around - in 4 restaurants (fortunately they are all nearby) there is always something tasty for every taste. Drinking is like everywhere: all-inclusive from 10 am to midnight strong wine-beer-cocktails, cola-juices-tea-coffee-cocoa available.
In general, food is 5+: there is a variety of cuisines, food is almost around the clock (there is a break from 5 to 7 in the morning) bars at all pools and on the beach... ice cream to choose from from 10 to 18 for those who want additional variety there is Thai, sushi and fish for money.

6. The rest: there are shops / a pharmacy on the territory, but it’s better to buy on the left along the road from the exit from the territory there are half the price of souvenirs, slippers, masks, fins, T-shirts...
for a change to the old city - $ 10 taxi in the same place outside the gate (there is also in the hotel, but more expensive)
in the hotel on the right - a beautiful illuminated fountain
on the left is a wasteland and the Sharm Tiran hotel near a beautiful bay (what the "wild beach" used to write about) - if there are waters on the sea - go there - you won't regret it.
hookahs - 2 sites - in the courtyard near the main restaurant and on the beach
for divers - the hotel has everything you need - a pool for the first dive, a reef with all depths (for air) in front of the hotel, a little to the side - a ship sunk to the delight of divers
ride on the board - not here - very shallow
excursions - like everywhere else: Jerusalem, Petra, Cairo, Luxor (very far), yacht, rides in the desert, city tour
General conclusion: a great hotel for a relaxing family pastime. There is always something to do and keep the kids busy. varied and plentiful food. If you need a party - you are definitely in another hotel - firstly, the hotel is very far from the "party places" and secondly, the hotel itself is 100% family
