I'll start with the settlement. Arrived at 9.30, put on bracelets, sent for breakfast, warned that before 14.00 will not check in, the hotel is 98% full. We were visited by 2 families of 4 adults and 3 children, 2 children 8 years old, one 13. We decided to go on the slides, cards for towels, did not give, said after 12.00. In the first 15 minutes, a man came down on his feet from the slide to his head, because the one who was watching the descent below decided to call a child who was sailing away and explain something, and it worked out. When the child began to lose consciousness and go under water, the staff did not move, helped vacationers to reach the reception. Here we learned how the insurance and the doctor work, the child vomited and did not keep his legs. Turned to the administrator, she helped with the doctor. Diagnosis of disorders of the vestibular apparatus. Injected, given pills, need peace, promised in 3 days, everything will be fine. The family room was booked and given immediately.
The room had small rooms, no hair dryer, one room was air conditioned and there was a room in the very corner of the hotel on the same line with the reception. That is to go to the sea through the whole hotel. When asked what to do with the pool, it is next. In fact, there is a depth of 60 cm and a bunch of babies in diapers. In this periodically, children cry from time to time from different directions. Generally beginner numbers from 7, this is for those who want to feel the crib. They came to explain everything, especially as a sick child to go to sea, especially back up the mountain. Went to meet us, gave chic rooms like family, but after 14.00. Thank you for that. Rooms started at 3, not far from the pool and the sea. Of course, the children did not skate from the mountains, so they used the neighboring pool, a depth of 180 cm. The sea, or rather the reef, can be called average. If for diving, then do not spend money diving into the place, dive from the yacht.
Several times there was a strong current and they were not allowed into the sea.

From the shore you can wander on your knees, or bathe the kids. The hotel area is large, we did not explore everything, it was very hot, 50 places, although do not advertise the real temperature, probably not to scare. Not very conveniently located bars that run far. In the evening, either to the beach or the reception, drink your own, duty-free always saves. Drinks in bars are standard, cocktails with yuppie and syrups with paint. There was an unpleasant incident when I lost my hair oil from the bathroom and the question is not 300 UAH. , but how can this be in a hotel? First, I really need it, and secondly, there are no shops where to buy it. To my indignation, I was asked to call the police, count someone from the castle, and bring a cleaner from the dormitory. How can the police help me, will we go to the cleaner to do a search? No. They will bring a cleaner, his word against mine, what's next?
In general, the hotel is not responsible for your belongings.
And so by accident this cleaner worked the last day, when the oil was gone, he flew home. Also, younger children have undergone severe adaptation, vomiting, diarrhea, fever. In general, for 8 times that were in Egypt, some moments surprised me. There are pros in this hotel, food, thank you very much for it. Meat, seafood and all other dishes are delicious and edible, believe me not everywhere at 5 yes. Maybe because the owner is Italian. The hotel has many Italians and has green bracelets. As unpleasant as this selection is, the attitude to them is also different. In any case, it is better than a bunch of Arabs. The animators are very positive guys, they really work, great shows in the evening. In addition to the foam party, which is also paid. In other hotels it is cooler and free. To say that a bad holiday, I will not say, but not the best, tried not to stay in a hotel and it decorated the holiday.
The girls always tried to help at the reception.
This year the prices for excursions and cafes are higher than in the past. By taxi to Soho, you can go for $ 5, we agreed back and forth, paid $ 10 at once and took us at the appointed time. In the old market (old town) $ 5 round trip. Leather bags, the price is reduced by exactly 50%. When you take the fruit Yupust weighs everything separately and list, if you need to prevail, cheat. ATVs $ 15, parachuting with a pair of $ 25. On a good yacht with a normal dive (not Lipton) $ 30 per person. Of course, the hotel was not taken. Opposite the hotel are Gena and Cheburashka, many took excursions there. Guides as always, only we have your insurance, etc. Do not be guided by these threats, insurance works everywhere and you decide where and with whom to go. We signed up for the guide for a review, free.

We spent an hour at the reception at lunch, called him, answered do not wait, come in the evening, we have nothing more to run for half a day after him. The next day the truth arrived on time.
You can go once, for those who were not. Oil factory, papyrus shop, etc. We went to see the church, we haven't been there for a long time. I know for sure, we will not return to this hotel, but once you get here you do not worry, especially the first time you visit Egypt.
