It's been two months and I finally have time to write my review.
We rested at the Tirana Aqua Park Hotel, a family of 2 adults and 2 children (7 and 11 years old), from May 20 to May 30 (10 nights). Tour operator "Coral".
Flight to Egypt, meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel, everything is standard.

We were the last to arrive at the hotel. At the reception they said that they were waiting for us, the rooms were ready and they gave us to fill out the paperwork for the room, after all the formalities we received a key card (they give one card per room, but I asked for another one, referring to the fact that there were still four of us, and they gave us another card, free of charge), then they signed a paper that they did not pay an extra charge and they took us to the room. In the room there are 2 lorries and one folding bed, they asked for another one for the second child, in a minute they brought everything and made it up. The employees had to move two nightstands to the balcony to make more space, for which they received a tip.
Room standard 1391, floor-to-ceiling window, shower cabin, LED TV, rather large balcony. Air conditioning works great and cools and heats, no insects, clean. They cleaned every other day well, left $ 1 each, made us all sorts of fun out of towels. The minibar was filled at the rate of 1 bottle of 0.5 water per person per day, but if necessary, they were always given.
The staff is friendly, sociable, very fond of children. If you ask, they will always bring what you want, and without extortion. The hotel guide is a great guy, he does not impose anything, the prices are not high, he took tours to the Dolphinarium and safari from him. Then they took it from Armani, he is spinning near the slides or the children's water park, his prices are slightly lower than those of the guide, but you have to bargain, otherwise they will sell you at exorbitant prices.
The water park is excellent, all the slides are functioning, everyone watching is keeping order, one BUT, there are few cheesecakes. There are enough sun loungers. It makes no sense to describe, there are many videos and descriptions on the Internet, I will say one thing, the children and I were satisfied. We really liked the water park for adults, children and pools in the hotel.

Restaurant in the hotel serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. During lunch, the restaurant in the central pool is still open, but there are only hambergers, hot dogs, fries and drinks. You can’t always find a place in a restaurant, and even more so for four, though there are tables on the street, under a canopy, but it’s hot there, sparrows jump on the tables and the wind blows everything away (after all, this is Nabq). The choice of dishes is standard for Egypt. There were evenings of Russian cuisine, European, Scandinavian. There are also five restaurants by appointment, dinner only. We have been to all of them, most of all we liked the Italian and Chinese restaurants. After lunch, ice cream is served at the central pool bar. The bars are good, especially the Lobby bar, all the bartenders are great, cultured courteous, not rude, don't forget to smile and tip.
Animation for children for four. They work with children, play outdoor games, bathe in pools, paint face painting, children cook hamburgers themselves, and so on, but one girl and that Englishwoman do all this, she’s done well and tries very hard, but sometimes she just doesn’t understand what the child wants and this is a minus. There are Russian-speaking animators, Vova, Galya and another girl, but during the day they are engaged in adults in the hotel and on the sea. Adult animation as elsewhere, the guys are trying, well done. There were dance shows with their participation, Miss Hotel, Mr. Hotel, a couple of the hotel, there were also invited people, this is a fakir show, dance with a skirt, magicians and so on, in general, every evening from 20-30 to 21-30 children's animation, from 21 -30 to 23-00 adult. Then those who wish are taken to a disco in the city, for a fee by prior arrangement. The amphitheater where the animation takes place does not have its own bar, drinks and alcohol are brought on a cart, a table is set and poured by one person, only in plastic glasses. We took a glass from the Lobby bar and gave it to him to fill, when he took it away, he said that it was not allowed here in the glass, but when he poured it into it. In principle, everyone was positive, it was fun and no one paid attention to it, but we came to relax and have fun.
The sea is cool vooooobscheeeee....The water is warm. If you want to swing on the waves, if you want to watch the fish, there are a lot of different ones there. Where the coral depth is generational, as soon as the coral ends immediately there is an abyss of 30 meters. The flag is always red before noon, yellow in the afternoon. We always went after lunch, before lunch with children it was dangerous, big waves due to the wind. On the beach there is volleyball, football and something else. There is a bar where you can have a snack with salad and fast food, beer drinks in general, as everywhere in bars, the bar is open until 17-00. The sea carries a fully open bus, runs every 15 minutes. I don’t advise you to go by yourself, although it’s not far but go in the heat, through a construction site (they are building the first line) where trucks constantly drive past you and dust, not comme il faut.
At the end of my review, I would like to say that we liked the Tirana Aqua Park hotel. There are small cons, but they are so insignificant that I don’t even want to talk about them. We will gladly return to this hotel if possible and recommend this hotel for a family, relaxing holiday.
