The main disadvantage is far from the sea. Nothing on the map, it seems. BUT, it's actually a 25 minute drive one way. Beaches 2: coral and sandy. Ride is the same. Buses run every hour. For example, at 8 am - coral, at 9 am - sandy. At 17 - the last bus to the hotel. There are enough places. No problem. The only thing is that you need to wait for the bus in the heat. Seats are to be taken on a first come, first served basis.
The hotel is an absolutely ordinary Egyptian hotel. There were cracks in the walls, not very new furniture and crevices in the shower area. But! Everything was very clean, no insects, everything worked, everything was in the kit.
Territory: 4 swimming pools. There are also for kids. Places are enough. There are slides. Both for kids and adults. The territory is quite large, green. But to take a walk... there are no shops, and you walk between the buildings. Something like this. There is a bus to go to the market every evening. Roundtrip. On foot - 40 minutes.

Number: standard. The bed was changed daily. Towels too. The room safe is working. TV, air conditioning, electric kettle and tea set, hair dryer. There is a balcony with a table and chairs. Lighting, traditionally, leaves much to be desired. But nothing critical. The main thing is that everything works.
Food: There were no questions about food. Traditional boring breakfasts. Of the fruits there were dates (just ripe everywhere), melons, oranges, watermelon, grapefruit, bananas... Meat (chicken, beef, lamb) and fish every day. There were also crabs. And the grill menu. Lunches and dinners are good. There are 3 restaurants on the territory of the hotel. That is, during the lunch period you can dine 3, if anything; ) There is also a restaurant on the beach and some dishes there (fish, for example), by the way, were prepared better than at the hotel.
Beaches: there are enough places on both. Sunbeds and umbrellas. Coral beach - incredible fish. Need safety shoes. An inconvenient entrance to the sea: a wooden bridge (long) and then an iron staircase. One one. Not autumn is convenient, especially when there are a lot of people. But be patient. The sandy beach is an ideal story for children and those who sunbathe more. This is not the open sea. And some bay. Clear water, sandy entrance.
Service: unobtrusive. There are no comments.
wi-fi is paid and very bad.
