When checking in for $ 20, they asked for a better room with a double bed. We got a view of the sea and the pool. Immediately upon entering the room was surprised by its very modest size.
We checked in in the evening, at that time an animation show was going on, which was very well audible even with the door to the balcony closed. This was very frustrating at first, because. After working days, we planned to sleep better.
But fortunately, everything turned out to be not so scary, because. the show ends around 23.00, and the disco is not audible. The air conditioning works all day, but that doesn't mean anything, because. it blows badly. All the same, we did not rest in the very heat, but how people got out of the situation in July is a question.

I can't say enough good things about the housekeeping. On the first day, we, leaving as expected $ 1 tip, went to sunbathe. When we returned, we did not find anything special in the room. It seemed to have been removed (the bed was more or less made, but not covered with a bedspread, which was always done in other hotels in which we rested), but it seems to be not. No tricks with towels, they were simply folded on a shelf in the bathroom without even bothering to properly level them. The next day our room was not cleaned at all. apparently did not have time to do it before lunch. And in the afternoon we were in the room until three o'clock, resting, because. We can't stand the heat of the day.
Angry with such service the next day we did not put a tip. The room was "cleaned", but one towel was missing. The next day we found no shower towels at all. Go complain to reception. Towels were brought and in the future the room was cleaned, but everything was also negligent.
Apparently different maids work in different parts of the hotel, we were not lucky. In principle, we decided to forget about it and not spoil our mood. With beach towels, too, Hochma. In Egypt, in 5 * beach towels you could change as many times a day as you want, but here only 3 times a WEEK ! ! I took a towel and sushi it myself for two days on the balcony. Tables in the restaurant are cleaned badly.
A girl works at the bar on the beach until lunch, nothing, not harmful. By evening, she is replaced by a guy with such an expression on his face, as if he wants to say how tired he is of all of us. In general, on the basis of all of the above, I can say that the attendants should be beaten like sidorov goats and built properly so that they know what they are paid for. But this is already a flaw of the top management.
From good. Basically, I liked the food. By the end of the holiday, I really wanted just boiled potatoes with herring, but that's really... I was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of fruits, pastries.
Very nice pool with slides. Until September 1st, there were not enough sunbeds by the pool, because. many occupied and left somewhere for the whole day. And then it became free. The beach is also good, the sea is wonderful, clouds of fish.
Diving center on the beach is not great. Seems to be good only for beginners. The yacht is a tub by tub, it’s crowded for the number of people recruited, but in the city they say the same ones are offered. We dived in Marmaris, it is better there, but in Egypt there is nothing to compare. The equipment is of average scall and is not enough for everyone at once. You have to go in batches.

My husband and I took 5 dives, only the last two can be called successful. The third dive went completely empty, they ate and ate half a balloon, and we were already upstairs. But the last one was great.
About the territory: small, but nice. Lots of greenery and flowers.
By the way, the hotel has a very good Turkish bath, we really liked it, much more than in the city where our guide dragged us.
In general, in spite of everything, we still had a great rest, we just expected better service from a five-star hotel. If you are picky, then it is better to go to another place so as not to spoil your mood. And if you are able to give up on some things, then you will have a great rest here. So I wish you all good luck and a pleasant stay.
