Why this hotel: a good 5 of the Marriott chain, not in Hurghada itself, in a place where there are only decent hotels, which are often chosen only by foreigners with the appropriate level of service.
What we liked: a very good hotel compared to standard Sharm hotels (there are no dead signs, broken pools and asphalt - it is clear that they are investing and reconstructing); kudos to the staff!! ! very pleasantly surprised - I don’t know how they are selected / trained, but they are really customer-oriented, listen and responsive and do it not for a “van dollar”, a free shuttle bus to the nearest restaurants and shops of the Marina, as well as a diving center (but you can walk and walk - 1 km in both directions or rent bikes); very good gym; free powerful wi-fi throughout the hotel and the beach!
Beach: a long private sandy beach, a three-minute walk from the main building, a lot of sunbeds, a spit to the left and right of the beach, special slippers are not needed, kite and wind surfing are also three minutes away; The hotel also has very nice pools.

Room: good rooms with comfortable beds and mattresses, good flat TV, refrigerator, kettle, “nice” bathroom, balcony, air conder and walls that keep cold for a long time.
Food: I usually rate food in hotels in Egypt at 2 out of 5, here - 4 (rather varied, delicious beef, fish, soups, salads, sweets, pizza, good chicken and even coffee! and worthy alcoholic cocktails !! ), it's nice that listen to preferences and the next day they can surprise you with your favorite dish / drink.
Areas for development: an incomprehensible assortment of fruits and berries for me as for Egypt (no grapes, mangoes, guava, watermelons, pineapples, dates, etc. ), although this is offset by other pluses; beach and sea closes at 18:00; there is no “market” nearby; due to Covid some activities are not available (volleyball, shisha, etc. ).
The hotel is more suitable for those who want to spend time quietly and calmly in a hotel or lie like a seal on the beach, or those who plan to disappear all day in the hotel or neighboring diving / kite / wind centers; for party-goers, the place is not very suitable, and the center of Hurghada is far away and 65 dollars (although you can find a carrier for 20 dollars).
