Having read negative reviews before the trip (after booking the tour), I'll be honest - I was preparing for the worst. And what was my surprise when none of my fears came true!
We arrived at the hotel at about 8 am, and we were immediately sent for breakfast. Then the settlement (15 bucks - and we have a room overlooking the pool near the reception). The number is like a number. Everything is there, everything works - and this is the main thing. There is something to cling to. but it doesn't make sense to me. Personally, we only go into the room to change clothes, wash ourselves and go to bed (and then not for long))))
Next is the territory. I'll tell you - it's quite pretty, with different decorative solutions, designed in the same style - bridges, lanterns, benches, all this gives a special flavor. We got lost a couple of times, went in the wrong place, but literally on every corner there are maps with the location of all the buildings, bars, pools, so you can just as easily be found. From the reception to the beach they carry small cars (such as tuk-tuks). It was very convenient for us, they had the final one right next to our room. But the road to the beach itself is very pleasant. Down the stairs to the beach. It is new, made of pleasant, and most importantly, non-slip stone. For us, for example, it is very urgent to run back and forth several times up and down the stairs after an all-inclusive binge. But to whom the stairs are not particularly shown for health reasons, you should pay attention to this.

On the right, along the descent to the beach, there is a very colorful lounge-hookah Minced meat. Highly recommend to visit after sunset. There is incredible oriental magic. And on the left - a grill restaurant with a gorgeous view of the sea. In this restaurant you need to sign up the day before for dinner at 7 o'clock. Of course, this is not very convenient, because due to the fact that everyone runs to book for tomorrow's lunch at the same time, and then, of course, they stay for dinner, quite decent queues form. But believe me, the view from this restaurant is worth it!
Next, we get to the beach. The beach is long, and here along the coastline there are beaches of two hotels and a city beach. Therefore, it is quite crowded, I confess, I like smaller and more comfortable beaches. There are almost dead corals in the sandy shallows, but among them there are quite a lot of fish, we saw an eagle three times, which came to bask in the afternoon sun, stingrays.
Well, you can admire the real coral splendor from the pontoon. That's where the reef is really what you need! You need to walk across the city beach to the pontoon, and further among the stones (where, by the way, in the morning you can arrange an awesome photoset! ) It's great that you can swim in both directions, no one whistles or stops. I saw here a flock of barracudas, lionfish, stingrays, a huge bracken (but this is almost already in the bay of Sharm el Maya).
Let's go back to the sandy beach. I am not a fan of sealing on a sun lounger, and even more not a fan of any animated entertainment. But what should I tell you! The animation team at the hotel is just fire! They are just super, I am amazed how we managed to collect such incredibly cool guys! They give all the best, they can really interest and entice, interesting and funny activities, my little one ran just in the forefront to participate in everything. And to be honest, I also floundered a couple of times in a rather hilarious aqua-gym. Mini disco for kids, daily show programs, evening trips to nightclubs in Sharm. In general, with this company you will definitely not get bored!

In general, I want to note that the staff at the hotel is friendly, helpful. Only the lazy did not write about Egyptian alcohol, but even with such dubious ingredients, the bartender at the Zodiac bar managed to make mojitos, daiquiris, tequila sunrise almost indistinguishable from the original recipes! In the canteen, to which everyone complains that the issuance is portioned, we have never been refused either an additive or the choice of exactly the piece that we liked.
Well, of course, the question that worries absolutely everyone is food)))) Let's just say, maybe the assortment of dishes is not very large, but everything is cooked deliciously. Meat, fish, chicken, once there were squids, seafood, on March 8 there was a gala dinner in general. Of the fruits, there was once strawberries, chocolate-covered bananas, always melons and grapefruits for breakfast, guava and dates for lunch, oranges. In general, normal food, you can find what you like. And, to put it mildly, you definitely will not stay hungry! )
In general, I want to say that I am very satisfied with the choice of the hotel. You can find something to complain about - but why? Excellent location, windless bay, picturesque area, friendly staff, interesting animation. What else do you need to arrange a summer in the middle of the cold off-season!
