This hotel is perfect for families with children and lovers of slides and pools. In my review, I will not rewrite information from the official website about the opening hours of the facilities or the number of bars, plus the guide will tell you a lot, I will share my impressions. The hotel itself is excellent, it opened recently, so the rooms, buildings, slides and the infrastructure in general are practically new, there is not enough greenery for my taste, but not critical. Our child is ten years old, he did not have to be bored. The kids club at the hotel is great. There are no complaints about food. I don’t see the point in describing the dishes, I’ll just say that it’s impossible to stay hungry, there is always a choice, and if the beef is tough, I’ll take the chicken, that’s all. Alcohol is all local, we take a couple of bottles with us, from the hotel only beer tastes normal and even if it's cold. Yes, the hotel is on the third line and this is really a minus, I did not expect it to be so big. You waste a lot of time waiting for a transfer, and you may not leave on the first one, then the trip is often standing, then you eat on the funicular, before that you stand in line. For older people in the heat or for families with small children, this is difficult and uncomfortable. The beach is rather mixed than sandy, shared by several hotels. Places near the bar and on the first line to the sea must be taken in advance. The sea itself disappointed, there is no beautiful reef, but there are some small and uninteresting pieces, there are not so many fish as seen in other places. The beach is in the bay, in which the boats settle, or go out into the sea through it, in the morning the water is still clean, but in the afternoon it can be really dirty, we didn’t fly over such a sea for sure. The bar on the beach is open, there are always queues for drinks, the food is mostly not tasty, so we took water with us and went along the beach far to the right to the pier of probably another hotel, there were always free sunbeds and fewer people. The weather was not bad, the heat was generally tolerated well, but it is difficult to compare with Turkey. Everywhere has its pros and cons. In Egypt, you can swim until six in the summer and the pools are also open until six, and in Turkey after dinner we always went to the beach, and I like Turkish nature with mountains and forests more than a bald desert. But on the other hand, the sea in Egypt is much cleaner and more transparent, and the underwater world cannot be compared at all. Therefore, for themselves, they decided to fly to Egypt in the winter, and in the summer to Turkey. There are places to go outside the hotel, but it is better and safer to travel by taxi for two or three dollars. We were in the old town, where we bought large shrimp from stalls on the street, they can cook them for you and pack them with you. I really liked the mosque, it is especially beautiful when the lights and fountains are turned on in the evening. From the excursions we took a dive on a bathyscaphe, a trip to the island of Tiran. . Internet in the hotel was surprisingly not so bad, of course there were days when the video could not be downloaded, but the messages always left. In general, my husband and I left a double impression of the rest. There are no big complaints about the hotel itself, we got at least a lot of experience for ourselves and now I know for sure that we will choose hotels only on the first line, having previously studied all the nuances with the sea and the beach.
