Chose on the advice of a travel agency. On the territory of 3 hotels with a common infrastructure. The beach is wonderful, small pebbles or coarse sand, the wind does not spread and you can walk barefoot. Sun loungers and shade for everyone, despite the fact that the 4 * hotel had its own beach, but its tourists also lay on our beach. Entry into the sea from the same large pebbles, there are a couple of large stones in the water, but they are visible and it is convenient to sit / lie on them in the water. Depth up to a meter. Swim colorful fish. Further, the corals are fenced and the vacationers in the sea are monitored. Who wants to swim on the left there is a pontoon. There are also tourists under surveillance. The beach is open until 18.00, i. е. no one is chasing you, of course. But lifeguards and service personnel are slowly winding down. Until 18.30 you need to hand over towels. And at 19.00 it is already getting dark. In general, a confident 10 for the beach, especially if you are with a child or like to get wet in shallow water.
Now food. 24/7 all inclusive. You can eat at several places to choose from almost any time. 3 main restaurants, 3 poolside bars, beach bars/restaurants This is my first time in Egypt and I read the reviews. But here the variety is amazing. So, my friend counted 42 types of cheese alone! There is no pork. But a huge variety of beef, rabbit, turkey, chicken. Plus all sorts of sausages, ham, sausages. And lots of fish! Separately, there is a children's kitchen, all kinds of yogurts, muesli, etc. Each day was dedicated to the cuisine of a certain country. Vegetables are grown right on site. Separately, about sweets - this is the delight and death of your waist! I would like to note the fish restaurant on the beach. In the evening they serve red mullet and shrimp with squid, and during the day you can have a full meal there without changing your swimsuit! The rest of the restaurants were good too.
Animation is present, yoga, classes in the pools, kids club. In the evening every day different shows in the amphitheaters. There is no disco in our understanding. There is a bar with paid alcohol and a DJ. The territory is huge, they did not go around in a week. The amount of greenery in the desert is amazing. The territory is well-groomed, clean, beautiful, fountains, green sculptures from bushes and trees. In 5 * mosquitoes are poisoned on the street and they are not in the rooms either. In 4 * near the pool were.

We were given a room in block 3-B with a side sea view. At first they wanted money. We did not pay extra, because we did not plan to look out the window for a week. The room has a large double bed, a single bed on wheels, air conditioning, a TV with 4-5 Russian channels, an electronic safe, a refrigerator, a kettle, cups, glasses, coffee, tea, sugar, cream, a built-in wardrobe and shelves, a chest of drawers with a mirror , niches. Only 30 meters - there is where to turn around, plus a balcony with judges and a table. The bathroom has a shower, toilet, bidet, large mirror, stool, weights, towels, hair dryer, shampoo and shower gel.
The staff is very polite and responsive. Very attentive to children. Maybe it's because we communicated in English, I don't know. The hotel is international, there were Germans, French, Italians, Poles, other English-speaking representatives of the civilized world. There are also many locals, Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians. Despite the round-the-clock all-inclusive, there were no drunks. Alcohol is enough for me. Gin, whiskey, rum, vodka, wine, beer. Dozens of cocktails. There is no champagne even for money. Not a 12-year-old Chivas, of course. But the beer is exactly the same as at home. Within a day from arrival, you can stock up on duty free in the city, if you did not do this at the airport. They pour it normally, in bars into glass, near the pool into transparent plastic glasses, on the beach into disposable paper or plastic ones.
Tours. Be sure to ride a yacht and snorkel. On the yacht they serve a good lunch, soft drinks. Masks, fins, snorkels are included in the price. The underwater world is amazing. Take the bathyscaphe in front of the yacht, then it's not so interesting. Hamam is also worth the money. In the Old Town you can buy fruits and souvenirs. Be sure to bargain. The price can be brought down by 2-3 times.
In general, a very good holiday turned out. The operator Joyne Up, contrary to the reviews, showed his best side. And most importantly, service staff in 5 * are usually hired better. However, in order to avoid trouble, I recommend rewriting the banknote numbers at the border and declaring all more or less valuable things, and immediately putting them in a safe upon arrival.
