Due to the surge in prices, we decided to try Egypt in the off-season and in a budget hotel. I must say right away that I was very lucky with the weather, we got tanned, we had a swim. It was much colder before and after our departure. Sky Apami flew - just super, the plane is new, there is enough space, in time to the minute, they flew back in exactly 3 hours (to Odessa). At the airport, everything is very fast, they glanced at the certificates.
Settled immediately in a room on the first floor. At first I was upset: the room was tired, the view of the lawn and the fence, the toilet was dirty. I wanted to change it, but it didn’t work out (just some kind of police conference was held with them). Then she calmed down: on the lawn the birds sang in the morning, the bed and towels were clean, green paper and a chocolate bar helped put the toilet room in relative order. The room is very spacious, there is a kettle, coffee, tea, water, a large closet, a terrace.
The territory of the hotel is a development in the form of two circles of two-story buildings, inside each circle there is a pool for children, a pool for adults, a pool bar, etc. I liked the territory, there is where to walk, green lawns, birds, sunbeds enough.

The food is standard for Egypt, but quite varied. From what I liked: falafel, feta and yogurt for breakfast, they cook delicious beef, lamb. Once there were shrimp and squid and the next day squid with vegetables. Fruits: sweet melon, dates, apples, plums, a good selection of sweets (cakes, oriental sweets). Wine, beer (not bad) brought by the waiters. Tea, coffee in the restaurant only for breakfast, the rest of the time - in bars (coffee machines). Juices are soluble (be careful for children - there may be an allergy).
Evening animation - was. From what we saw: competitions for guests, a visiting acrobat, a visiting singer - he sang songs of the 90s well, both Russian and English, until our tourists took the microphone from him and began to sing themselves (madame from Zaporizhia - worse than Tagil !! ) .
Now the main thing that scared me. The hotel is located on the 25th line from the sea. But! Very well organized trips to the beach. There are two options:
1. Coral beach - a reef, a lot of fish, it's not scary to swim, there is no wind and currents.
2. Sandy beach in the old town - swim, children play in the sand. The open sea is not visible, the impression is as if you are on some kind of lake. On both beaches there are bars from the hotel, lunch (fries, rolls with something, vegetables, oranges, dates). Paid ice cream and fruits (on sandy it is much tastier). So, they take buses, strictly on time, you need to sign up, but this is so that they understand how many buses to serve. Even if you are alone, they will come. In terms of time - three options for departure, I don’t remember exactly, but at about 8-30.9-30.10. And back too. That is, you can do everything. We even had time to go to the coral beach in the morning, return to the hotel for lunch, and in the afternoon - to the sandy one. On the way to the coral beach, you can go to Il Mercato (there is a Mango market, a Russian pharmacy), and then walk to the beach yourself - 10 minutes.
An additional bun - they take you from 19 to 22 for free to the Old Town and Naama Bay.
Conclusion: The hotel is good. But everyone decides for himself.
