We chose the hotel on the advice of friends, bought into a large territory and the opportunity to use the services of 3 hotels. We arrived at 1 am, settled quickly, the room was large and spacious, they cleaned every day, they didn’t spin the swans, they didn’t notice the difference in cleaning from the number of tips, the bed was changed 2 times, for this I had to write a note.
The hotel seemed the most comfortable, the restaurant has a lot of free tables, and does not look much like a canteen. We visited life and group restaurants, there is more choice of food, but there are also more people, noisy, you can’t wait for the waiter with drinks. We went to A la Carte restaurants: fish, Japanese and Lebanese, they fed well everywhere, pleased the Lebanese with meat on the grill.
The territory is beautiful, well-groomed, in the evening everything is illuminated. Those who come to swim in the sea have to go far to the beach (especially in the heat), plus because of the wind a red flag often hangs - you can’t swim from the pontoon, there are waves. On the life beach there is a small cleared place from corals, the depth at high tide is waist-deep, there are a lot of fish, they swim right between the legs of bathing people, a lot of sea urchins - it’s better to go in corals. Shops on the territory are expensive, it is better to go to the city for slippers-masks, 2-4 times cheaper.

We went on excursions from anekstura safari and diving, more expensive than they offer on the beach, the excursions are not bad, but it's hot at this time of the year.
The contingent of the hotel is more foreigners and Egyptians, there are more Slavs in life.
In general, I liked the hotel, from the minuses: remoteness from the sea, strong winds, it is very hot in August, it gets dark early, at 7-8 it’s already dark, after that you can’t swim in the sea or in the pool. The difference with Kiev time is +1 hour.
