We went in February 2 adults + 2 children, we chose the hotel based on reviews and, of course, for the price - it turned out to be a very inexpensive 5 *, and even saved $ 100 on visas (we did not leave Sinai). We arrived at 9 am, settled in quickly enough, but bracelets are issued only from 10 am and you won’t get a full breakfast in any way (from 7 to 10), but already from 10.00 in the Red bar there is not much choice, but you can have a bite (here tasty coffee).
We immediately went with the children to explore the water park - in the adult there were 3 slides - but it was quite enough, in the children's slide and several complexes with fountains - we were quite satisfied, most importantly, both the adult pool with slides and the children's pool were heated - very pleasant warm water (for February it was not redundant).
Lunch from 12.30 to 14.30

There were no questions about nutrition at all, always beef, fish, chicken, a lot of vegetables and enough fruits (always guava, oranges (very sweet), tangerines, bananas in some kind of syrup, grapefruit (also very tasty), almost always melon, dates) Sweet table - as usual - everything and a lot, there were crabs and tuna. Chefs led by the chef - THANK YOU SO MUCH! All liked it. I was pleased with the presence of a children's kitchen - there you could take mashed potatoes and beef cutlets, not very seasoned, and a children's animator is always in place - some kids ate there straight away. For breakfast, there is a huge selection of yoghurts, muesli and milk rice porridge and corn flakes with balls - in short, the kids will not go hungry.
The bus takes you to 2 beaches - sandy and coral
Arrivals to the sandy beach 8.30 and 10.30, departures from the beach 14.15. and 16.00.
To the coral beach at 9.30, 11.30 and 14.40, and departures at 12.00, 15.00, 17.00
These trips did not bother us at all - you ride in an air-conditioned bus - you look at the city. We went to the beaches every other day: - day on sand - day on coral.
On the sandy beach, children can safely go swimming, it is located in Sharm El Maya Bay, there are no waves, but it’s boring - the animation is not from the hotel - at best they will gather to play volleyball, and there are no fish, and the sand is so-so in quality, more like on a mixture of small stones. But children also need somewhere to swim.
On the coral beach, stones and corals immediately from the shore, you can walk in rubber shoes, even see the fish, but you won’t be able to swim from the shore.
To swim - from a pontoon, not even from a pontoon, but from a good strong bridge with handrails. You immediately dive to a depth of 11 meters, but there is something to see - a very beautiful coral, and it was cool to jump into the sea. There are often strong waves, although even children swam there.
On the coral beach, the animation from the hotel was much more fun - and exercises, and darts, and volleyball, and boccia, and table tennis - in short, the entire standard set - did not get bored at all.
Special thanks to the children's animator Roma - the children were always in business - if the adults went to volleyball - he plays darts with the children, then vice versa.
We were satisfied, the only thing is that kids are not bought on this beach, but there is very clean high-quality sand (take buckets with molds)
Although we went in February - we swam in the sea every day - it’s a bit cool to go in (like in our rivers in summer), but then I don’t want to climb out.

Each beach has its own restaurant and bars, you can dine right on the spot, without returning to the hotel. (And from the sandy beach you won’t have time to return to the hotel for dinner) The choice, of course, is much less than in the hotel, but you won’t stay hungry.
In the hotel from 12 to 15 in a bar near an adult water park free ice cream - very tasty.
There is an Italian restaurant - by appointment 1 time.
The staff is not arrogant, friendly, there were no problems.
Cleaning is so-so - the dust was not wiped not before us, not with us, but we are not picky, we played little animals - the children liked it. The room is a two-room suite with a balcony, at first there was no hot water at all, they called the reception, the master came - he twisted something - and there were no more problems with water (by the way, the staff speaks very bad Russian and also bad English, but there is a girl Russian-speaking, they asked about the features of Wi-Fi - they did not understand each other with the guy at the reception, went up to the room and a minute later this girl called us back and explained everything - there is a nuance that free Wi-Fi is given for 50 hours and anyone can use it at once - then one of the numbers - then a few more times the girl dialed, she was interested in whether everything was in order with us).
My advice - bring chocolate with you - the best currency - left a chocolate bar - got bathrobes and slippers, and as a thank you - that's it.
In the evening, animation - from 20.30 -children's disco, a couple of numbers (belly dance or Egyptian dances, or a number with snakes), then either Mr. Kyrosiz or Mrs. Kyrosiz. Very close - went beyond the barrier and to the left 5 minutes walk - Hollywood amusement park - you show the bracelet from Kirosis - admission is free - there are moving animals and dinosaurs, at 21.00, at 22.00 dancing fountains - very beautiful.
At 20.00 the bus takes you for a walk to Naama Bay, back at 23.00

If you go out and go to the right - then 7-10 minutes and shops - I advise, by the way, to take all sorts of magnets and souvenirs there - much cheaper than in Naama Bay or in the old market. And there is also a very good shop with teas and oils - very nice prices - and no one sticks, because in the old town it’s impossible to get through - they get it.
But there are no fruits nearby - a few strawberries in the supermarket - but a little expensive, for strawberries, mangoes, avocados (brought home with them - a good gift in February) - went to the old market (or rather, when returning from a sandy beach - they asked the driver to stop - they were like, bought and already in a taxi - to the hotel) Bargain everywhere and for a long time - throw off more than half, even by taxi.
They were very satisfied with the rest, they were fed by the sun and positive, we must make it a habit to go on vacation in February, cheap and cool!
