Before the trip, I tried to find information about the differences for a long time, but I didn’t really understand it, so I decided to share my own observations, maybe it will be useful to someone. These three hotels share not only the territory, as has been repeatedly written, but also the rooms. At least in our villa, and I bought a tour to Alexander, people lived from both three- and four-star Plazas. The rooms in the villa are slightly different in size, but the insides seem to be the same (looked in passing). What are the cardinal differences - each hotel has its own restaurant, its own "all inclusive" bar and its own swimming pool. At the same time, it seems that strangers are not allowed into the pool of 4 stars, there is security at the entrance, but those who broke through more insolently. in Alexandra, the pool is very tiny.
Meals in three hotels, again, a glimpse from the outside, it seems not very different. Speaking of food - for lunch and dinner we had at least three types of meat in various versions (stewed, fried, boiled, tongue, etc. ), fish, various side dishes (fried potatoes, stewed, boiled, mashed potatoes; pasta, rice , steamed vegetables), two types of fruit (watermelons, melons, kiwis, oranges, bananas, grapefruits, plums. . . ) and pastries. With salads, only I personally had difficulties (I didn’t like it), but there were always fresh and pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, etc. in the alternative. By the way, the assortment changed during one lunch / dinner - instead of fried meat they could bring a tongue, buckwheat instead of potatoes, plums instead of bananas, etc. In general, they were very satisfied with the food - they ate themselves and there were no problems with how to feed a child (2 years old). Compared with the Egyptian hotel 5 * - Alexander is much better.
All inclusive in the local version means the presence of a bar that has beer, white and red wine, a coffee machine, a machine with two juices (apple and orange), cola, fanta, tonic, carbonated and still water, as well as a refrigerator with a dozen types of bottles of local alcohol. In our version, the bar was completely self-service - he came up, took a glass, poured what his heart desires and left. After the Egyptian lines in the bars - just heaven : )

By the way, the bartender poured strong drinks in 3 *. The assortment in the three bars is the same. Differences in locations - in Alexander this is a separate building near the restaurant, in 3 * the bar is located on the territory of the pool, in 4 * on the territory of the restaurant (the pool is not far).
Separately, I want to stay on vacation with small children (for us it was the most important thing).
Picking up food for children is not a problem - the child liked the soups, there was always stew, there was always fish, steamed vegetables were just a hit.
Entertainment for children - on the territory there is an open playground with slides, houses, swings, etc. Children's animators work on this site (including a Russian-speaking girl) to whom many parents left their children for the whole day, there is also a room with a "safe" complex (slides , stairs, dry pool) for smaller children, a children's disco was held in the evenings. About the children's pool and water slides wrote above.
Near many restaurants on the embankment there are small children's areas - while parents eat, children can entertain themselves - very convenient : )
In general, the animation is quite good. I myself am not a fan, but my wife enjoyed going to yoga, exercises, dancing, water aerobics, etc.
