Vacationing with my husband. This is my first time in Egypt.
We arrived at the hotel at 8:00 pm and were checked in immediately. The room is spacious, right next to the main pool, but the repair is already old: doors, furniture, bathroom, everything is broken, shabby. But from the reviews that were on the net, I realized for myself that this would be the case. We wanted to give money at the reception in order to get a better room, but they didn’t even provide money for the money, good rooms ended. We were already offered to move on the 3rd day, but we were already too lazy in the middle of the vacation.
Very tasty and varied food for lovers of pp (greens, vegetables, stew, fish, fruits) and for not so pp))): burgers, pizza, sweets, drinks, juices. I don’t drink alcohol, but my husband said that, as elsewhere in Egypt, the quality is not very good.
From vacationers: Ukrainians, Belarusians, Italians.

There are a lot of couples with children, they even take babies. There are animators who entertain children. Adult animation is not very, mainly aimed at making you buy additional parties.
We took tickets to a beach party with a splash of colors and a disco, it was cool.
Excursions were taken from the anex tour, but the prices are more expensive than outside the hotel, for example, from the same agency "come with us. "
We went on a sightseeing tour, $ 5 per person, very sorry for the time spent, 20 minutes showed the mosque and the monument to the world, then 2.5 hours rolled around shopping centers, where prices are sky high.
Were on an excursion on a yacht: three bays with stops to snorkel.
Diving in Egypt is PROHIBITED from 11/01/19 with scuba gear, because the reef disappears due to divers, it is broken.
Only with a diver's certificate you can dive, it costs $350.
We snorkeled, bought it at the local market for 11 dollars, there are also 8.
We did not see new fish or a better reef than near the hotel, but we had a great time: we sailed and dived all day long.
The reef near the hotel is simply fabulous, a lot of different fish, visibility is excellent, only in the last 3 days the sea was stormy.
Pantone is very bad, it's hard to walk on it, it's old, you can hardly keep your balance.
The third excursion is a safari, I really liked it, it’s beautiful and you can drive on quadrics.
The service is good, everyone is polite and pleasant.
The area is clean and tidy. There is a water park, but we have never been there.
The only pity is that you can swim only until 5 pm: both in the pool and in the sea, then they kick you out.
From the pros: the beautiful reef is crazy, very tasty food and different, good Service. Very comfortable stay with children.
Cons: old repair (you need to negotiate for a good room), inconvenient for entering the water panton. Sometimes there were queues to enter the dining room, and sometimes there weren't enough sunbeds on the beach.
We met the guys, they rested in Ratan, they said that for the same money, they liked it much more there. My husband rested in Rehan, he also speaks cooler there.
We will most likely choose a different hotel next time.

I understood this: if for the first time in Egypt, like me, you like the hotel, because all the shortcomings will block the impressions of the reef, the city, the food... if you have already been to hotels of a higher class, then there will be dissatisfaction accordingly.
I am satisfied with the rest, thanks to the staff of the hotel)))
