Hello, we just returned from this hotel. Traveled with friends and 4 year olds. When choosing a hotel, we were guided by the criteria: entertainment and leisure for the child, close to the sea and all inclusive. We read a lot of negative reviews after we booked the tour. BUT I will say frankly that I do not confirm any negative reviews about the hotel.
I can only speak exceptionally badly about the tour operator anex tour . . the organization of departure and back and forth for an estimate of 2 on a 5-point scale.
And so, we were brought to the hotel around 23 pm. We were already waiting for a late dinner. Then the porter Ragab took us to room 1127 - we were very disappointed, asked to find better options for our two families, after which we were taken to rooms 1184 and 1181. These rooms were many times better in repair. There we stayed to live.

The rooms have a TV, an electric kettle, air conditioning, a mini fridge (replenished every day with water, and immediately upon arrival there were cans of Pepsi, Mirinda and Sevenapa in it), a safe, a large bed for adults and a single bed for a child. Buffet food - there was a very varied menu, the only thing was 2 types of soups, which are not very similar to our usual soups) in general, we did not like the soups. Very tasty fish and grilled chicken meat. Sweets are plentiful, there are many fruits, especially delicious watermelons and melons now. Samer constantly served our table (Kind, attentive, pleasant in communication, not intrusive, special thanks for the approach to the children - they loved him)
The rooms are cleaned well, every time swans were waiting for us on the beds, regardless of whether we left a tip ($1) or not. Linen and towels were changed daily, soap supplies were also replenished every day. there was also tea and coffee.
At the bars near the sea (where there is ice cream) they make very cool cocktails, they do exercises, aqua aerobics, water polo every day near the main pool... everything is very interesting and fun.
The water park for children was super, they just did not get out of there. We, adults, also descended from large slides.
In the children's room and animation, I especially want to note Dasha - she did a great job with children and made beautiful face painting)
Approach to the sea: for me, who can not swim ???? , and knee-deep water from the shore was enough. My husband swam from a pontoon (about 100m), he liked it.
There was also an unpleasant nuance in the restaurant, but it was immediately eliminated, they politely apologized and even moved us to an improved room, in which they brought a tray with fresh fruits, juices and milk. This situation convinced us that each visitor is very important for the hotel and they treat visitors with understanding and responsibility.
Excursions: we were on the “all in one” (we can say that his representative of the anex tour Ahmed sold us), but we were satisfied. Journey on the yacht "Christina", with a delicious lunch and diving. For me, it was especially extreme, since the swimmer is like porridge from an ax ???? , but with an instructor it turned out to be safe, interesting and completely new sensations... I can say, I saw another world.
We were offered photos and videos for $30 for two, but I managed to persuade them to pay $20)
Then another walk on the bathyscaphe was waiting for us, where the children were delighted with the fish and corals they saw.

Then there was swimming on a banana, but we no longer had the strength, the program was so rich) The guide, a young guy, told a lot of interesting information, took care of our children.
The free city tour is a waste of time. They simply take tourists to shops where they sell products. Of course, they will also bring you to the mosque and the Orthodox Church. But there they don’t delay for a long time....this is my personal opinion and the opinion of my friends.
Quad biking - as they say, you can try once, but riding in a desert strewn with garbage is not particularly impressive. The skating was filmed on camera, after which it was offered on a disk for 10 dollars)) we bargained for 5)) when we looked at the disk, of course, we recognized ourselves in arafats, but the operator is still that master ????????????
I'll draw the line.
In general, we liked everything, the staff is responsive, pleasant, not intrusive. We even miss them. Many thanks to the manager, managers at the reception and all the staff. You made our holiday enjoyable.
