First the opinion, then the review itself. Well, you can’t believe everything that is written, this is me in terms of the “star rating of the hotel”. You need to look first of all at the price, and on different sites. And if you compare the five Sonesta for example with the five Iberotel, it becomes clear what to expect from these hotels in terms of food and everything else. In vain do tourists expect to receive a lot of all sorts of benefits, while paying a minimum. It does not happen, you have to pay for everything! Take away from the tour flight, insurance, accommodation and what remains? That's it. For its price, the hotel is quite normal. BUDGET FIVE. Well, something like this…
I knew perfectly well what not to expect from this trip, that everything would be rather modest. Since it didn’t work out for more financially, we enjoy what we have.
Settlement. I had to wait almost until the appointed time, until 14.00, but we got acquainted with the territory, we liked it, it was beautiful and green, there were a lot of trees and plants, just an oasis in the desert: palm trees, cacti, all kinds of shrubs.

The room is standard. Everything is in relatively good working order. we told the cleaner what we needed, in terms of washing, cleaning, changing towels, we didn’t contact the reception, everything was solved without problems, we didn’t forget to “thank”.
The food is normal, there is plenty to choose from, everything is rather modest, but not badly cooked. There were no disturbances. The food is amazing, always fresh and delicious! Upi drinks, sweet soda, tea - drink as much as you want. Wine was taken once for dinner - did not like it. Canned beer is good. They didn't speak on alcohol. In the store, when walking around the city, we bought several packages of juice, delicious. I didn’t know that the hotel also had packaged juice “under the counter”, I found out from the reviews upon arrival))
Beach and sea. The beach is good, only the sun loungers are ancient, they spoil the whole view, but the entrance to the water is bad, you can’t go without protective shoes, only a pontoon or a nearby beach. There is a good entry and no one kicks you out, but you don’t need to be impudent and take sunbeds, otherwise they will ask you to leave. For those who like to swim, see fish and other living creatures - this is with us! The reef is awesome. We took our flippers from home, there were a lot of living creatures, we heard that a turtle was sailing, but unfortunately we didn’t meet ((
Entertainment. It’s weak here, there is no program, we don’t participate in such events as Mr. Mrs. Hotel, there is a disco for kids. In short, they entertained themselves. We went for a walk around the city, first in one direction, then in the other. To the right of the hotel you will find the Hollywood shopping center))), we walked sooo slowly, it seemed a long time. It really takes about 15 minutes to walk)) If you go to the left, you will find the shopping center of Genen))), it takes longer to go to it, although you can drive up, there are a lot of taxi drivers. They also entertained themselves with excursions. Were on a megasafari and in Ras Mohammed by bus. They didn’t take it from our guide, the cost is too high, plus intimidation, if you don’t take it from me, everything will be bad for you. Rave. As if we are in Egypt for the first time, and do not know about their "divorce".

Summing up, we can say price = quality. The hotel itself is good, the staff is courteous and friendly, there were no conflicts. The hotel is for a relaxing quiet holiday, without too much fuss. The sea is wonderful, although the weather is hot, it suits me perfectly, I don’t like high humidity. There are small remarks, but I attribute them to the crisis in the country. There are many local vacationers, but they did not bother us, in the end we are visiting them. The hotel can be recommended, for the unspoiled))
