Good day. We rested in Egypt for the first time from 11/24 to 12/01/2017. Two adults and a 9 year old child. We arrived at the hotel at 09:00. At the reception, we were offered to leave things, go to eat and use the hotel's infrastructure before checking into the room. However, we checked in already at 11:00 (instead of 14:00 at no extra charge). Special thanks to the representative of the hotel Diana, who helps in resolving any issues during the holiday (settlement, ordering a restaurant, taxi, pharmacy, etc. ). Now I can give you advice that you need to choose a room with a view of the restaurant, because. at 04:30 you can hear prayers from the mosque (again, if it bothers you). We rested in room 8379. The guy Ali, who served him, was not bad, but... he constantly needed to be reminded of shampoo, coffee, tea, cola, etc. , although we always left signs and means of gratitude for his work. Bathrobes were given to us only upon request, there were no slippers, although they are needed, because. The floors are cold and poorly washed. Shower Ali did not clean once in 7 days. There are mosquitoes, after a call to the reception they came in the evening and poisoned (then they gave out a spray from them for self-service - I want to note that his "aroma" is thermonuclear).
No nuances, service at the highest level, although there have been cases of individual rudeness and vulgarity against the female. After the comments, they apologize, because. afraid of losing their job. In general, if you behave decently, and not "I paid for everything here, " then the attitude towards you is more than worthy. The entire hotel staff smiles, tries - well done.
The lobby bar is the strongest point of this hotel. The best bartender is a woman named Reda. Coffee, soft drinks, cocktails - everything in her performance is super!

The food is excellent (except sausages, sausages, mashed potatoes and powdered juices). And the choice of what to eat there is huge. Our child eats little, but never left hungry.
Now about the prices outside the hotel. Before going for a walk, exchange money for local currency at the ATM located in the hotel lobby. The course is acceptable (1 dollar 17 pounds). Shopping on foot to the old town 30 minutes, by taxi 5 minutes for 20 pounds (bargain). We really need aquashoes, we bought 2 pairs for 90 pounds, a mask with a very good quality snorkel for 120 pounds, live shrimps for $ 10, they will cook them for you here, we bought 6 kg of mangoes for 100 pounds and a suitcase bag to go with them. bring home for 400 pounds. The main thing is to bargain, even if you understand that the price is already indecently low. Throw off 60% immediately.
On excursions. On the second day, you will be offered a meeting with a tour operator's guide, you should not go, you will lose half a day, and the excursions offered by him will be 2 times more expensive than in the city. Free review - sucks. They will take you to certain shops with fabulous prices so that you are stingy there. We were on a sea excursion (Tiran Island) - from the tour operator it cost $ 100 for three, and from the "runners" in the nearby Aqua Blue hotel, we purchased the same ticket for 450 pounds (26 bucks) only risk, because you give money ahead.
As for the sea itself, it is beyond words. Mask and snorkel are a must! Diving and the sea there are great! "Waterpark" class, visit also the neighboring "Aqua Blue", especially since for us it will be "all inclusive". Unlike our hotel, there are heated pools for children.
A personal request to the gentlemen vacationers. Do not bring seeds and nuts with you in order to absorb them on the beach, spitting on everything around, do not drag 5 glasses of beer from the beach bar in each hand, I understand that this is our mentality, but from the outside it looks terrible! Respect yourself, leave a good impression of yourself.

Our flight was at 19:00. No one forced us out of the room. We ourselves ordered a porter for 14:00, changed into warm clothes already at the reception.
Nothing to describe, the hotel is gorgeous, new; the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is quite conducive to relaxation. What scents are in the air! If you want to relax with comfort and positive emotions, with the desire to return again, you will certainly visit this hotel. Yes, and yet, 7 days is not enough, at least 10.
