Good afternoon dear tourists!
I'll start my review from the beginning about the HOTEL: the hotel is not bad, located on the first line. The hotel has a general restaurant, 2 restaurants (Italian and Chinese) you can go there every evening by appointment, and you can dine on the street next to the sea (they serve kebabs or meat kebabs), the food is quite decent, you will never leave hungry. But there is a MINUS, these are drinks (I don’t say anything about alcohol at all - since it’s not possible to drink alcohol in Egypt, we could only drink wine, but about soft drinks there is sweet sparkling water - but I didn’t understand how people drank it... it is so sweet that it is not possible to drink it in the heat, I could only drink tonic, soda and plain water with ice from drinks.
The hotel itself is very beautiful. well-groomed, constantly looking after the bushes, everything is watered in the evenings, there are no insects on the territory of the hotel, as they are poisoned every evening. We were in a standard room . . well, the usual room that I found dirty is the curtains, and the air conditioner does not work well (we called the staff 3 times to have it repaired for us because it blew badly) everything else is decent (photo attached).

Regarding SPA, we went to hotels for a soapy massage - my husband and I didn’t like it at all . . we paid $ 60 for two - it’s not worth it at all . . and massage is so-so in Asian countries they do much better!
I didn’t really like the animation, since there are no Russian animators, only Italians. But dance, aqua aerobics, basketball and games can be played. But I can say a bad review about our tourists, our tourists are not active and do not really want to participate anywhere . . animators call everyone . . and 5-6 people come from Russians....of course our animators will leave this hotel . . since our people do not want to participate.
The sea and the fish are of course gorgeous, the reef is not bad, we were pleased with the short pantones, there were always enough sunbeds, coming to the beach by 10 o'clock, we always found a place for ourselves in the shade) Someone wrote that towels are stolen on the beach if you leave... I can say this is NONUS... how much we left since no one took it!
Now I’ll tell you about the excursions: we went on excursions to Jerusalem (for 1 day) for 1 person it costs $ 135 from the tour operator (if you take it on the street it costs $ 70 or 80) and we rode quad bikes for 1 person for $ 25 (we took it on the street, in order cheaper). I’ll tell you about the excursion to Jerusalem - the road is certainly not easy - it takes 4 hours to go to the border, you stand in line for 2-3 hours at customs and then you get on another bus and go for another 2 hours. The first stop is the Dead Sea (correctly call it the Salt Sea ) - well, what can I say . . the sea is like the sea, only very salty . . I did not receive strong delight from him. Then we went to a store where icons and other utensils are sold 5 times more expensive than in other places (but the guides also have to live)))) and then to the temples....there were queues in the temples, but this is not surprising, since this is a religious country . Of course, we were tired of this excursion . . but the fatigue was pleasant, I dreamed of visiting Jerusalem!

The quad bike tour turned out to be entertaining, I liked it very much!! ! Take the main thing is arafatki and glasses - after the desert you come all dirty and dusty))))
We went on our own for 1001 nights (you can take a taxi yourself for $ 8 one way) the laser show costs $ 18 it starts at 21:45 (but we didn’t go to it) and at 23:00 the dance show started it costs $ 5 for me I didn’t like it very much, I saw in other countries and more interesting performances
Several times we walked along SOHO Square (10 minutes from the hotel on foot) - we looked at the singing fountain, it's beautiful there. Arabs are not annoying, no one will call you obscenities. Souvenirs are not cheap
(We bought a towel there for $9, a small silk carpet for $50 and arafatki for $3 each and silver earrings for $17).
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer! I really liked the rest, the hotel corresponds to its star category.
