Rested with a family of 4 from 06/21/2018 to 06/29/2018. It was the first time in Egypt. Rest in this hotel was offered to us by a travel agent from Anex Tour. And thank God that we contacted this agency, and not Join ap, which had big problems... We were lucky, the flight was not delayed. They flew from Kiev for 4 hours, although they said that a maximum of 3.5 hours. In Egypt, there was no great heat in June due to low humidity, there was even wind! So let's talk about the hotel. At the reception, we were offered 2 options for rooms. The first - with a sea view of 50 sq. m. (near the beach) for which you had to pay extra $ 10 for 1 night, and the second - 30 sq. m. (at the beginning of the hotel). We were warned that in Egypt everyone wants to make money on tourists and it is impossible to trust hotel workers (and all locals). Therefore, we decided to look at the proposed rooms. The first one, overlooking the sea "on settlements" and certainly not 50 sq. m. , but in the second one there was a terrible smell and it did not differ at all from the first one. We came to the reception and said that the rooms do not suit us. In general, paying nothing extra, we got a good standard room near the pool and restaurant.
In the early days, we did not like anything: neither the staff, nor the food, nor the territory, nor the room. And then our opinion changed for the better. It can be seen that the guys are trying their best: the food is varied (they cook tuna, then rolls, then quails, ducks). Everyone asks if the vacationers are well, how are you feeling? They are very bad with alcohol. Free couple of cocktails. What is "Cosmopolitan" do not know. Beer just sucks. It is difficult to swim in the sea. From the shore, knee-deep, and then reefs that you can’t go on. And from the pier, the depth is 50 meters. Only those who are confident in their abilities swim. Impressed fish - very beautiful, colorful!
The hotel staff monitors the cleanliness of the territory and the pool. Everywhere is green, clean and tidy.

We went to the old city by taxi ($10 round trip). There is a very beautiful mosque, it is especially good in the evening when the lights are turned on. Merchants grab by the hand inviting to their store. Most importantly, don't forget to bargain! In general, the holiday was a success!
