My wife and I deliberately chose this hotel for a relaxing holiday in beautiful nature and were not mistaken - it was really a great 2 weeks holiday. The main advantages of the hotel (and we were in 2 others before, including the magnificent Domina Coral Bay 5 * in Sharm El Sheikh):
1. Beautiful sea with an excellent sandy beach and a huge coral reef, which we were never able to fully explore by snorkeling. The water in April is not as comfortable as in summer (about 21-23 degrees), but we swam every day several times throughout the day.
2. Magnificent nature, relatively many greenery and flowers. The mountains around complete the majestic picture of the Egyptian resort.

3. Excellent food for every taste: 5-6 types of vegetables, the same number of salads, up to 12 types of hot dishes (including 3-5 purely meat and fish) and up to 10 types of sweets (the Egyptians are just craftsmen). We had half board (breakfast + dinner), but we had enough. In our opinion, this is the best food among those hotels where we were.
4. Friendly hotel staff - always smiling and friendly.
5. Good recreational opportunities with children - playground, swimming pool and many free games on the beach.
A few tips:
1. Travel agencies in the hotel offer different prices for excursions, so take your time, choose and bargain. For example, we immediately bought a tour to Jerusalem for $210, although a couple of days later another company offered us for $145.
2. If you want to save a lot on excursions, go to Nuweiba (a town 10 km away) and find Dr. Shesh-Kebab there (everyone knows him there, his cafe is located in a shopping center), he will help you find a driver-guide who is on his own auto takes you anywhere in Sinai. For example, a trip to the Colored Canyon cost us $17 per person, compared to the usual price of $50.
3. Internet in the hotel is very expensive - $30 per hour. And in an Internet cafe in Nuweiba - $ 1 per hour.
