The vacation went really well. There were three of us: my husband and I and our 6 year old daughter. In Egypt and, in general, abroad, they were for the first time, but they are very familiar with the resorts and services of the Black Sea coast, and compared with it.
We went through Tez Tour, they met us in the country, they practically took us to the bus, they gave detailed consultations, without any problems. A small minus - they flew back to Tu instead of Boeing.
At the reception, they immediately offered to have dinner, then decide on the number. They hinted that there is a good room - they gave 20 bucks prepared in advance, and did not regret it, the room is located really well: close to the reception with Wi-fi, and to the restaurant (large), to the water park, and the exit to the hotel is also not far was. They chose a standard room, which turned out to be: two large beds, with normal mattresses, a sofa, an armchair, a chair, a table, bedside tables, TV (from domestic ORT), an air conditioner with a control panel (they checked it, it works quietly, there was no need to use it). In the corridor there are two "built-in" wardrobes, a safe (free of charge), a refrigerator. Bathroom: normal size, toilet, bidet, bathtub, hair dryer. Everything worked, nothing was leaking anywhere, there were no cockroaches, ants, they brought a fumigator with them from mosquitoes, they were not felt either. And a balcony: two armchairs + a table, the view is quite picturesque: alleys, flowers, bushes, a restaurant on the right, on the left - part of the hotel, green, pleasant to the eye.

SEA. You can either walk to the beach, it took us 7-8 minutes (we walked with the baby, not in a hurry). We walked twice in a week. In other cases, we rode in a bus: a small open bus with shops that runs all the time, just brings it, turns around, takes others. It's a short drive, a couple of minutes.
They changed cards for towels on the beach, they didn’t take them with them from the hotel. There were enough sunbeds for everyone: half plastic, half wooden, there were no broken ones, and the mattresses were normal for everyone. The bar is open: drinks, water from the cooler, cold and hot, about 11 ice cream, a snack. The queue for ice cream (given to children and adults) is a separate story. I stood twice: the first for the sake of curiosity, the second - the child persuaded me, I had enough for more. There is a queue because adults row it, and not in special cups, but in ordinary ones, for drinks, filling 3-4-5 glasses with a slide in one hand. The feeling was that no one had ever seen or eaten ice cream. I just clapped my eyes when my parents cracked 2-3 glasses nearby, and even shouted at their children to eat faster - a glass with a mountain melts, stains.
The sea itself. There is a minus: the beach is located in one place, and 250 meters or even more to the pontoon. You can’t settle down on the neighboring beach - they drive you away. The pontoon itself is convenient - you go down (without haste, it's normal) and immediately the depth is 20 meters, the corals are nearby. For me personally, there was an inconvenience due to the current, I sailed away from the pontoon easily, and barely rowed back. For lovers of masks, flippers - expanse. Close to the beach, what a type of paddling pool. In the hollow there is a sandy shore, then the sea: water from zero to the middle of the thigh. Kids and adults (like me) enjoy swimming, feeding fish, etc.
AQUAPARK. After lunch, we spent time at the water park. There were always enough sun loungers, only plastic ones. Two adults (green and white slides) and one children's pool worked with heating. The blue slides and the wave pool also worked, but they are just icy. Cold and the river around the water park. The slides are normal, they rolled easily, nothing was torn off from anyone. There are two bars on the territory of the water park, one with drinks only, the second one with snacks and drinks. One caveat, already at the beginning of December 5 (and, in general, in winter), the sun sets, it starts to get colder. At 17:00 the slides do not work, the beach closes.

There is also a gym, jacuzzi (the warmest water in the pool) + massage (for a fee).
EVENING LEISURE. At 20:30, a children's disco begins in a Bedouin tent. The kids love it. Then a mass cultural program for adults: competitions, performances (I liked the fakir show very much). The level is not high, but they try. It could have been more interesting, but we were not so worried about it.
NUTRITION. I don’t know how you can write that the food is monotonous? There is everything: meat, vegetables, fruits, sweets. Everything is fresh and tasty. Seeing the diversity, I was surprised: who here, the poor, did not eat, or lost weight, or got sick?
And lastly, the locals and shops. No one really got it, they understood from the first time if their service was not needed. Shops are located right behind the hotel, there is also a bank with an ATM.
Satisfied with everything, next winter - only there!
