Rested with family from July 24 to August 4.2008. Hotel new, almost just opened.
Two pools. We lived in a room on the second floor overlooking the sea. The rooms are good, clean, new furniture, LCD panel. The air conditioners work fine. The room was always clean.
Safe in the room for free. The food was not bad, every day there was fish, meat, fruit, a lot of sweets. From alcohol, we drank mostly only beer (quite good) and sometimes red wine. We couldn’t drink white wine, brandy, whiskey, as for me, then solid chemistry, I do not recommend if there are problems with the stomach. From drinks - fruit "Yupi".
Fresh juices are given in the morning, but only for an additional fee.

We went from the "Old Market" (old town) for souvenirs, you can negotiate with a taxi from the hotel for 10 USD, although initially they ask for much more. and sharply slows down so that the side door slams shut) also haggle, the fare is approximately 2 c. u. - 2 c. u. per kg. ), not a bad hookah can be bought for from 35 to 50 c. u. depending on the size. Opposite the hotel there is a small shopping center where you can also buy souvenirs. Upon entering the hotel, a new aroma shop was opened. oils. The owner is pleasant, the prices are good, the oils are excellent.
Special thanks can be made to the animators, the guys entertained us in full. The child was delighted with them.
The water temperature in the sea was somewhere around 25-27, the climate in Egypt is drier, the heat is much easier to tolerate than in the same Turkey. The pool that worked was clean and large, there were no problems with sunbeds. The hotel has its own beach, many sunbeds but no pantone.
Disliked: We were traveling with a child and chose this hotel, because. the tour operator "Teztur" confirmed the presence of a water park with slides. As a result, upon arrival, it turned out that construction work was underway in the second pool with slides and it was not working yet and had not worked before our departure. Work was carried out throughout the day, there was noise. So that we did not work out with the slides, the child was in shock. In addition, the representative of our tour operator "Teztura" made an appointment with us for three days, but he himself did not appear. Therefore, we ourselves booked an excursion through the local Murena Tour bureau, by the way cheaper than "Teztura". Opposite the hotel there is a shopping center, there is an agency where you can also book excursions.
On the very first day, we lost a towel near the pool (the security deposit was 8 euros. ) And two days later, our friend lost 2 towels (we honestly encountered this for the first time, before that we rested in Turkey, left things, bags, on sun loungers). After parsing at the reception, the cards were returned to us.
Soft drinks in the bar were only upon arrival, so daily they replenished their bar with drinking water themselves.

I was also upset by the absence of the pantone, I heard they promise to build it by winter. They didn’t let us go to the pantone to the left of the hotel, once we went to the pantone to the Oriental Hotel (to the right), we went there without question. To the left of the hotel, about 15 minutes -20 walk to a wild beach where you can swim with fish. There are a great many of them. Be sure to take a mask, the Sunset is excellent, the sand gradually goes to depth.
I really didn’t like the obsession of local residents. If you are a blonde and you have bright eyes, then get ready for increased attention and repel attacks....
But we were finally finished on the day of departure, our plane was delayed for 4 hours (They should have picked it up at 18:30. ) At the reception they told us that we could go for another dinner and they would put us on the list. After we sat down and started yes, we were told that dinner would be paid, but that's not all, after payment, we were looking for 70 cu for 3 hours.
We were in Egypt for the first time, we were delighted with the sea. We want to go in the fall to go on excursions, because in the summer it is still hot outside the hotel.
I hope that my review will be useful to someone. And I wish you a good rest.
