I want to write my opinion. When I chose the hotel myself, there were few reviews and it was hard to imagine where I was going.
Initially, trips to Israel and Jordan were planned, so they chose the Taba region. I must say right away that there are no settlements and even more cities there. Therefore, plan to buy souvenirs (if you need them) on trips and duty free. Be sure to need coral slippers, because. there is no normal entry into the sea, there is no pontoon. And walking and even more so going somewhere to another beach, in my opinion, is a madhouse. By the way, slippers can be bought from the Bedouins, if you go to the right outside the hotel, you can bargain well with them. There is nothing to do with small children in the hotel, you can’t go into the sea, the water in the pools is cold. My adult daughter and I swim well, so the absence of a pontoon did not bother us at all, we entered the sea from any place. The main thing is slippers, a mask - you will go a little above the knee and swim. There are a lot of hedgehogs - it's not worth the risk. In Egypt, only one thing worthy of attention and our presence is the most beautiful sea with its inhabitants.
The hotel is ok, it's good that the beach is nearby. The rooms are ordinary: refrigerator, 2 bottles of water (every day), free safe (this is good), air conditioning (we didn’t use it), TV (3 or 4 Russian channels), shabby shower (but we don’t care), but snow-white linen ( nice), they didn’t weave swans, although they left bucks (probably our cleaner didn’t know how).

In Israel, they didn’t stand at the border at all, they just passed and that’s it. Apparently it's different. We managed to visit wherever it was planned, the only thing was that it was very cold +10 degrees, but I still climbed into the Dead Sea.
I celebrated my birthday at the hotel - they brought a cake to our room - it was nice (I did not warn you how to do this in other hotels). The food is normal, every day meat, chicken and fish are all edible. They leaned on cucumbers and cabbage with wonderful garlic butter. Large selection of sweets. Almost no fruit, current in the form of a salad. But I was fine with grapefruit and green melons. Drinks are everywhere. It's a pity that there were no juices from the packages.
As a result: in a hotel with small children it will be difficult, young people have nothing to do there (I think the disco of the 80s will not suit them very much). And for everyone else - slippers, masks and go ahead to watch the fish and corals. Be sure to visit Israel and Jordan.
