The hotel is very good. 5 stars, but 4+ in my opinion. Nice big hall. The hotel is young, built in 2010.
We were completely satisfied with everything. There were no remarks (essential) at all, which is unusual for us. We always pick on everything. First things first : -)
The hotel is located in the desert, in Soma Bay. We drove from the airport for 2 hours (despite the fact that people were brought to other hotels). The road is very tired!

We arrived late, but they settled us without any additional payments, etc. Nice room (2110) overlooking the pool and the garden. Minibar: 2 bottles of water for free (then you can get it from the cooler in the hotel lobby), tea, coffee, sugar - there is a kettle. Plus there is an iron and board in the room. Plenty of closet space and lots of hangers. In general, the room is comfortable, large, everything is there. The bathroom has a hair dryer, shower gel, soap (everything in the dispenser). But not very clean in the bathroom. They generally have done everything very carelessly (I mean repairs) if you look closely. All rooms have plasma.
The territory of the hotel is very large, well-groomed, clean. Lots of greenery, flowers, plants. There is a heated pool, which is very important in winter. Near all pools there are bars + beach bar. The staff is not intrusive.
The beach is good. At first, about 200 m from the shore, the water is shallow, then you can swim. Getting off the pier is fine too. Even those who are not very good at swimming. Sometimes the water from the pier is not deep, warm even in winter. There are corals, a lot of fish - it's good to swim with a mask. On the beach you can ride a camel, a quad bike... (for a fee).
Mostly they sat near the warm pool, they swam less often in the sea. Strong wind. But in the evening the sea is gorgeous and warm.
Restaurants: 1 central, 1 on the beach. There is a bistro in the lobby where you can have a bite to eat at any time of the day or night. + free 1 time you can visit a fish restaurant (drinks for a fee), a Bedouin restaurant (1 or 2 times), an Italian restaurant (2 times). The food is good, we liked it, we were definitely not hungry. Few fruits, but maybe just out of season. Meat: beef, chicken, fish. . . Vegetables, pasta. . . Everything is there. And delicious. Drinks are good - as in all hotels. For lunch (in a restaurant on the beach) there is always fresh pizza of different types.
We did not like the work of the animators. Sometimes they were seen on the territory of the hotel or in the lobby. And that's it. The disco room is very stuffy, there is nothing to breathe. We didn't like it. But since we had our own company - 8 people - we did not get bored even without animation. Didn't go to their show, though that's a big word. Once visited the Fire show and were shocked. It's a small show and that's it. Maybe others liked it.

We always flew with TezTour, but now we tried Join Up. Also normal. Met, brought... The only thing that upset - a guide at the hotel. His name was Mina. Deceived us with a tour. We took Dream Island for $57 for one and he sent us to Paradise Island which costs $37. In general, this is the same tour, only different prices. He shouldn't be trusted. Lies and does not talk about the hotel, restaurants, etc. This trip ruined our whole day! But nothing.
The hotel can take a hookah - $ 3. Imported drinks for a fee. Freshly squeezed juices are also free. You can always have coffee, cappuccino, latte - around the clock and for free.
In general, in Egypt already 6 times. This hotel is by far the best. We would like to come again. We recommend this hotel for families and for any other, as the main thing is the mood and the company.
