Rested with a group of 8 people. In general, the hotel for your money!
Everything is standard not bad - the rooms are not new, but spacious and clean, cleaning every day + change of linen 2r / week, regular breakfasts, sometimes even with mashed potatoes, enough dishes for lunch + a couple of soups, for dinner there is no less variety than for lunch - chicken , fish and veal are always available! The hotel was occupied at 20-30% + 10-15 families from the neighboring Sharmillion Sea Life are eating - and yet, there were almost never queues!
The beach was always almost empty, with the exception of the first row - but he was busy only at 11 am and by 70 percent, no more. The right side of the beach is cleared of corals in some places. In high tide, you can plunge there - the depth is 1.2-1.3 meters, in low tide - 70-80 cm. There are fish here and at any time!

Despite the windy place, it was stormy only for 1 day, and it was good in its own way - everyone splashed in the waves near the shore in cleared places!
With a pontoon it was more difficult!! ! 7 out of 8 days the weather was great! The sun rose at 6:00 and by 8:00 we tried to be already on the beach! It is very disappointing when the sea is almost calm, and the pontoon opens according to the mood of the lifeguard - at best from 10, or even from 11... Once there was a strong current near the pontoon. In this case, you can swim only in one direction from the pontoon - against the current. Tip: swim with your hands along the rope to the buoy, and then lie down on the water, lower your head and the current slowly carries you to the pontoon, and you examine the coral without moving. . .
Of the inconveniences, it is worth noting evening mosquitoes - take Raptors with you to the outlet and body sprays / creams if you are planning evening walks / gatherings in the air! And although every day, around 17:00, the staff conducts smoke fumigation - there really were enough mosquitoes!
In reality, all alcohol is tinted water with various incomprehensible smells of alcohol !! ! In addition to beer, which is often not available at the beach bar for two reasons: at 10:40 the car has not yet arrived, at 12:00 - it's already over, I'm waiting for the car! But don't be so quick to blame the bartenders - that's hotel policy! All bottles go to bars already diluted! If you want more or less acceptable alcohol - ask the bartender to open a sealed bottle in front of you, such as whiskey! Of course he doesn't have one! But if you get it over time, then he will get it, show a whole cork and a brand, print it out in front of you, pour it - and it will be practically your undiluted "nominal and personal at this bar"!

I was surprised by the "conditionally" time-limited visit to the Fish Restaurant. Tables are served by 18:30 - so we came... We were immediately served salads, after 10 minutes. - soup, after another 10 minutes. main course - a plate with fish, crab and 2 shrimps. By the way, alcohol in restaurants a La Carte is Egyptian, but not diluted! At 19:10 we were already served dessert!! ! We safely put it on the next table and continued to deal with crustaceans... At 19:30, the restaurant administrator approached us, asked if we liked everything, offered dessert again and said that the restaurant closes at 20:00 !! ! We were not interested in this information and we stayed in this restaurant until 21, measuredly and with pleasure finished with a dessert and a fruit plate from our cheerful waiter!
In general, the hotel is acceptable for your money! The animation team tries and entertains both children and adults! Our children practically did not depart from them and took an active part in sports!
Volleyball fans advice: be careful and try not to fall!! ! Under a small layer of coarse sand on the site in some places there is a stone rock!! ! At first, active and gamblers, after a couple of falls, fade with broken knees and elbows...
