You will want to return to this hotel. I rested here in the middle of September with my husband, parents and children (7 months and 3.8 years).
Of course, the hotel has a number of disadvantages, but the pluses still prevail.
The hotel is well adapted for the Russian-speaking population. Almost all the staff speaks Russian (fluent at the reception, the rest so that they can comfortably explain themselves).
The food is very good. The menu is so typical for Egypt. the assortment may not be the most diverse, but the cooking is at the highest level! Beef and lamb dishes do not have any foreign taste or smell. There is always fish, often crabs and other seafood. Mango was served once. A lot of fried dishes in batter, incl. vegetables. Pretty tasty sausage, cheese and sausages. There are always dietary dishes: boiled vegetables, meat / fish.

In the morning, the chef prepares a magical scrambled eggs (omelet with various additives or fried eggs). Instead of the usual pancakes for Egypt, there were ordinary pancakes and waffles. There was always a queue behind them - they did not have time to cook. Chocolate is very liquid, as if diluted.
Didn't like the way dinner was going. Constant queues and hustle. Breakfast and lunch were pretty free.
Water is not brought to the rooms, you need to take it with you from the main restaurant.
Towels are issued on cards linked to your room. After sunset (about 17:13-18:00) it is no longer possible to hand over, all the workers quickly scatter. Lost towel - $15 fine. A towel was stolen from us on the beach when we left things far from the sea : ( very unpleasant.
Speaking of towels, most of them look 10 years old.
They lived in a bungalow. I would like to note the soundproofing - it is great! You couldn't hear the baby crying from neighboring rooms at all : )
There is rust, a little fungus, towels yellowish from old age, broken cups... But these are all the minuses that you can look for in any not super new hotel. The air conditioner is noisy.
The hotel is also adapted for children. There are chairs in the dining room (however, there are not enough of them and they look very shabby). There is a children's corner in the dining room.
You need to go down the stairs to the beach, but there is a smooth descent for strollers.
The territory is wonderful! Not too big, cozy and sooo green.
The sea, in fact, for every taste. When entering the sea from Pantone, there is a very deep depth (the bottom is not visible when snorkeling), there are a lot of fish along the reef. The downside is that there are three hotels for one pantone: two Nubians and a nearby parrotel. Personally, I prefer the sea where the bottom is visible (more interesting than just looking for fish along the reef).
But in the lagoons (they are quite large) you can always splash, sit in the water and even swim. And during high tides, it’s great to swim in them with a mask - there are many different fish. Of course, the lagoons are ideal for bathing children.

The bay in which the hotel is located is specific. Strong wind is a regular guest here, especially in the morning. In this regard, in the first half of the day it was impossible to swim from the pontoon (strong waves and a red flag hanging).
There were no mosquitoes, but there were a lot of clinging flies.
You can smoke almost everywhere. Unfortunately there were a lot of smokers
Planes fly over the hotel. Just like almost all the hotels in Sharm. We were not disturbed, the child was not awakened.
