We were together in September 2019, we are from Kazakhstan. Arrived at 7 am, settled immediately, despite the fact that they were only supposed to be at 2:00 pm Room 111, these are detached houses with access to the central pool, very convenient, all the infrastructure is nearby, including the beach. The room is average, but I was struck by a huge bed, you can sleep on it even along, even across. In general, we are satisfied with the room, because we only came there to spend the night. The only thing that is not clear is where all the shelves in the refrigerator, even in the door, have gone. I had to pile everything on the floor of the refrigerator, and it also leaked... But I think that this issue could be resolved, the staff is very friendly, but we ourselves didn’t care, to be honest.
The main thing is the sea! On the left - reefs and corals, on the right - a sandy entry, whichever is more convenient for you. Buy masks, etc. I do not recommend on the beach, in the city it is cheaper by more than 2 times. Because the hotel is half empty, then the mass of free sun loungers. Egyptian kittens of amazing beauty run on the beach! Grab some sausages for them in the dining room, especially since they are not edible for humans. And, perhaps, this is the only inedible food, everything else is 5. No queues for food. But it was annoying that you were given one napkin and you had to take care of it, there was no second one, and the lack of toothpicks. On the first day, the waiter was asked for toothpicks, he kindly took out some kind of reusable from his pocket. Appreciated his gesture, but thank you, of course))).
Drinks. . . Coffee is only instant and not tasty. From alcohol you can drink only beer, but for some reason it caused heartburn. Vodka, rum, gin - acetone both smell and taste. We got the hang of running to the store across the street where McDonald's is.

You can get to the old city by taxi for $ 5, or by blue minibuses for $ 1 for two. They go one after another, it is enough to wave their hands. The old town is the ultimate, you can't go wrong. We traveled in minibuses not for the sake of economy, but to enjoy the local flavor. Also on the minibus, at the same price, but in the other direction there is the Soho shopping center, from 9 pm every hour there are dancing fountains. Not like in the Emirates, of course, but you can go and see. When buying ice cream, you will be given a coupon for one free coffee in a boutique nearby, the coffee is excellent. At the same time, you can buy sweets there, this is such a marketing ploy. By the way, you can and should bargain everywhere! Get it for half the price.
In general, our opinion about the hotel is for the price and the product. The most budgetary of 5 stars (in fact, the hotel is a solid 3), in the sea there are fish in stock, we had no complaints. And also - be friendly, and you will definitely be answered the same! We were friendly, and the bartender on the beach brought us beer to the sun loungers himself, throwing his turn (by the way, very small, maximum 4-5 people). And one more thing - bring chocolates with you, they are very quoted by the locals. Thank them for the service - the Arabs will be just happy! And don't forget to say shukrun (with the accent on the first y) - thank you in Arabic. They like it, they smile)))
