About good:
The sea is cool, but it's probably not the hotel's merit.
The hotel area is green, well maintained.
In many rooms, the card holder does not work at the entrance, but this is a plus, because you can leave something on charge.
The staff is quite polite.
The food is quite varied, there is enough food for everyone. We had an all-inclusive
Alcohol in the form of beer and wine (red and white) is present.
Animation - probably good - not interested

About the bad:

There is practically no beach as such. Sand is a mixture of pebbles and clay. You can't compare it to a normal beach like Naama Bay. And if you go in the hope that the child will have fun in the sand by the sea - you are not here. The first 2 rows of sunbeds are occupied at 7:00. Umbrellas on the beach are already in an emergency. Rusted at the level of "sand" in the first row, where the most wet. One umbrella, broken before our eyes, was "evacuated. " And it weighs somewhere under 60 kg. It's good that she didn't maim anyone.
The hotel area usually needs to be taken care of, but the lawn mowers shaved the circles on the grass to the ground. And these workers are barking like crows. If a child sleeps in the room - she will not sleep long. They did not see anyone being scared of mosquitoes on the territory - in the evening their clouds. Well, of course they fly into the room. Tried to poison mosquitoes in the room with domestic fumigators: do not even scratch, sit down to rest after eating directly on this fumigator, then fly on. You can call a team of mosquito killers, but it is necessary that the child does not sleep, wait for this team, and after a few hours do not go in to air out - put one day of your vacation to fight mosquitoes.

The tour started at an hour when there were relatively few tourists. Therefore in the first days cleaned daily, with dollar and without dollar. But when the influx began - to stop stupidly stopped.
I had to take out a large two-day bag with unearthly aromas and decorate it with a landfill, a symbol of the hotel-Amphoras. Half an hour later (after lunch) we quickly cleaned the room. Well, thank you for that.

About the staff: you need to immediately understand that this is the base hotel of the tour operator, so guest relations, local doctor, guides, etc. - all work in one direction - to increase company revenue and reduce costs. As long as you fit into the standard scheme of the "tourist farm" - everything seems to be fine. But try to solve your household or other issues with the guide, after giving up tours, and you will understand what I mean! Guest-relation "in the subject" - refers to the guide, although they should deal with such issues themselves. And the guide should be engaged exclusively in excursions.

Now about all-inclusive and more ....Here is even more included than you expected. For example, a useful thing like rotavirus is included.

It is useful because after all eaten all-inclusive will not hold anything for a few days and you can even lose weight. Almost everyone who is not immune to a particular serotype of the virus is ill. Heard not alone on the beach. Many people refused to go on excursions. Well, this is understandable - on the way to the desert you can't hide, and there are few burdock trees ...Adults tolerate it easier, often on their feet. They think they are "poisoned". But we were unlucky, we beat the child's temperature all night (it was under 40) and alternated in the toilet. We waited until the morning to ask for help. Well, he says - "I'm sure it's acclimatization. " No, we say we need a doctor. Well, to say a sensitive girl, you to the guide. He will translate your doctor's complaints into Arabic.
After listening to the clever look, the doctor looked into his ears and throat. And what do you think he diagnosed? That's right - sore throat. Well, we guessed that we will not receive special help ...
Prescribing medication (broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic, adsorbent, and temperature). Approximately the amount of the $ 15 deductible that is in the insurance. Of course, antibiotics do not help with viruses, so it makes sense to treat a sore throat when the ass hurts. It is good that they took nifuroxazide, enterol and fever - quickly removed the main symptoms.
I will immediately answer the question: yes, we wash our hands. But this thing can be somewhere in the dining room. Nobody washes baby feeding chairs (let alone disinfectants). They are constantly covered with leftovers. Glassware is also dirty. Well, as everywhere in Egyptian hotels, lawns are watered not from the Carpathian source, but after a kind of cleaning after the first use. (Do you think why those bushes and grass grow so well? ) So do not walk barefoot on the lawn and do not play in lawn sprayers.
Well, this thing is still transmitted by airborne droplets, so the chances of not getting sick are small. Only if you take the stew from home, lock yourself in the room before the return transfer, and do not brush your teeth with tap water. Or you have immunity.

The return flight was another story. I will try not to get into Egypt anymore.

Conclusion: you can go if you have no child. And with an understanding of where you came from and for what money. Take mosquito spray with you. Take all basic medications. Be sure to take a stock of funds. Read the prayers and wash your hands of course : ).
