So on a positive note:
A large green area of ​ ​ various palm trees and flowering plants cascading down into a small lagoon to the sea with an iron pontoon and a coral reef (take a mask and snorkel), well-groomed plants, marble paths are swept and washed every day, something is sheared, etc.
The reef to the right from the pontoon is 50 meters long, there is something to see and where to swim, to the left, too, 20 meters to the buoys, you can sail.
Cleaned every day - basically just made the bed and folded the towels.
The beach is surrounded by rocks of the bay, and even in the wildest wind at the entrance to the hotel, the sea is quite calm and the entrance to it is not closed by hanging a red flag.
From the tolerant section:

There is no WiFi anywhere except the lobby lobby (it is decided by buying a local 4G with 20 gigabytes for $ 10 immediately at the airport upon arrival and distributing the Internet to neighboring mobile phones). The purchased card of a local operator is not only the Internet for you, but also a viber dialer, as well as a city navigator and an Arabic script translator - if you have a modern smartphone.
The rooms are not dead, but tired, it is clear that the hotel has known better times. Huge queues for food (if you don’t go right away, but after half an hour, and preferably an hour after the start of the meal, then you can go in without a long downtime in a column of hungry tourists).
There seems to be a lot of food, but mostly side dishes and primitive salads (sliced ​ ​ carrots or cabbage, chopped cucumber or tomato), as well as sweets. There are no fruits except apples and oranges. There is almost no seafood (twice there was fish), meat is also rare (usually in the evening). Instead of juices - some kind of chemical composition vaguely reminiscent of yuppies. Wine and beer, too, as elsewhere in such hotels, a rare ge, but you can drink - do not get poisoned.
From the negative:
Clouds of hungry mosquitoes at night, from which even the fumigator bought in the Carrefour did not save, the air conditioner in our room 611 did not work (more precisely, it buzzes like a Boeing when landing, but does not cool at all even at maximum). As a result, you have to choose - to sweat in a stuffy room or drive mosquitoes all night.
From life hacks: a free excursion to the city is a waste of time mixed with selling oils, dates and all sorts of crap to tourists at exorbitant prices. If you want to buy cheap - go to the "carrefour" on foot or by taxi (it is 2.8 km away). Carrefour has seasonal fruits, dates, sweets and juices at very affordable prices (read only the composition of juices - most of them are just juice-containing drinks).
As a result, the conclusion is this: we went overseas with fish and coral and got it in this hotel. They knew in advance about all the charms and horrors of the number of rooms and poor feeding in Egypt, so this was not a shock for us. Who cares about animation, feeding shrimp and mango right by the pool - it's better to wait for the season in Turkey and not spoil yourself and those around you.
