The hotel is very stylish. Judging by the description, it is made in the style of a Moroccan village. I have not been to Morocco yet, but if they have such villages, then I personally envy them! These numerous stairs, arches, passages, a "mountain" stream, a palm forest. All ebony trim, massive lamps made of dark metal, torches - nothing more. No frivolity - strictly and beautifully. Snow-white 1-2-storey buildings cascade down to the sea.
The sea does not make sense to describe, because. in Sharm El Sheikh it's great!
The beach is 3-tiered: the upper tier is a swimming pool (there are 3 of them on the territory, including 1 for children), a volleyball court on the sand, a bar, hammocks stretched between palm trees, music, animation, table tennis; middle tier: bar, "chaise lounges" (this, of course, is a joke! ), sand; the lower tier - "chaise lounges" on a stone surface, as on a rock, an organization engaged in boat trips, saucers, parachutes, bananas, etc. , a pontoon as the only entrance to the sea.

Just along the entire coast along the hotel there is a magnificent coral reef with a bunch of motley diverse living creatures. Yachts with scuba divers constantly moor there.
Back to sun loungers. It's just a song. If at the pools they are still human, plastic, then on the beach they are wooden (! ), old, half-broken and quite heavy. In addition, there are no “scourge fights” there, so you have to turn this design over yourself.
Nutrition. Ultra I Wish system. Like UAI, but rather peculiar. You have to beg for everything, everything is strictly by the hour, near the beach drinks are exclusively in small (200g) glasses - so that people are probably tired of running around. But, in principle, this is nonsense, you can adapt to their rules (certainly stupid). The food is not bad, always beef, fish - very tasty! , soups, salads, desserts - well, like everywhere else. Another oddity is that all drinks at breakfast, lunch and dinner are brought exclusively by the waiter, i. e. there is no cooler anywhere, no barrels of wine, no boiler with boiling water. And the waiter may not come right away. On the beach at certain hours, snacks, hamburgers, ice cream (delicious) are provided.
Number. The standard rooms are quite decent, the beds are wide (for two - 2 double beds). Even an extra place is very personal. Shower, TV (large, flat), kettle (this is convenient + tea, coffee, cream and sugar are brought daily), refrigerator (beer, gas water, juices) - replenished only upon arrival, free of charge.
Internet services - you can use a laptop in the room, or in the "business center" of the hotel (a room with several computers, a card for 30 minutes - $ 4.5).
The hotel staff is very polite, helpful, even the cleaners speak English well, although almost everyone speaks Russian. Reception is generally a song! I have never seen such a caring attitude anywhere else. Perfect. Russian speaking staff. No problem.
Another feature - there are no ugly bracelets. Each is given a plastic card (aka a key, respectively) with a sticker indicating the type of food.

Livestock. Funny lizards run around the territory, flocks of insolent sparrows besiege tables at breakfast, 2 birds of prey live under the roof of the main building (maybe a falcon or something like that), and a fox was seen near the hotel (outside the territory)!
Well, even in the evenings - mosquitoes... - get funds from this evil spirits! ; )
Conclusion: a good family run hotel. I would love to go there again.
P. S. And of course, you should not stay in the hotel in the evenings! Naama bay - Sharma's artery, pulsating around the clock! Crowds of tourists, cafes, restaurants, shops, bars and discos, music, everything is on fire, street shows - you don’t want to leave from there! (taxi 25 pounds = 5 dollars).
Old town - a la Cherkizovsky market in Moscow... for an amateur. But everything is cheaper there, you can buy exotic fruits.
