A hotel for those who just want to relax and look at the beauty of the underwater world of the Red Sea. The option is quite budgetary so you should not expect much. But overall, everything is fine. There are significant disadvantages and with small children it will not be the best option and it is worth looking at other hotels. And first of all, this is due to the remoteness from the airport, and the hotel stands apart and there is nothing nearby either. The transfer takes approximately 2.5-3 hours. But there are no hotels nearby and you can walk along the coast as much as you like in any direction. The hotel itself is also quite large. Good landscaping for Egypt. The greenery is well maintained. I would like to immediately point out one of the advantages of the hotel. Free Wifi catches everywhere and the speed is quite good for example for social networks and even short videos. Good still fairly fresh rooms of two categories are rooms with a living room and ordinary ones. The hotel consists of a main building and a complex of two-story residential buildings. Therefore, there are balconies and terraces in the rooms on the first floors. We lived in the standard. Very spacious and high ceilings. Good furniture and sanitary ware. Everything looks modern. And of course the hotel opened in 2015. Comfortable mattress. Safe for free. Kettle and tea/coffee set. 2 bottles of water daily for free. Normal cleaning and change of towels daily. There are Russian-speaking staff at the reception and among the animators. Yes, and the rest can be explained. People are friendly, do not chase tips. Always help and advise. There are adult and children's animation. The kids are great and adults don't get bored either. In general, Egypt is a country where you should definitely travel on excursions. Just do not take from the hotel guides, even if they scare you with various horror stories. It's easier to find a local guide and buy cheaper and the quality will be better. We found this and would like to recommend it to you. His name is Mido Bikham, you can easily find it by the name of the surname in social networks or simply through any search engine. A wonderful person and speaks good Russian. And the prices are much lower than in the hotel. For example, an excursion to Luxor cost only 40 dollars, and the hotel offered 95 dollars, and we visited three temples when those who traveled from the hotel were only two. Lunch excellent tasty and varied transport comfortable. We really enjoyed. There is nothing special to say about the food at the hotel, we are visiting this country for the third time and the food at this hotel can be called standard. Let's say even above average. The selection is small but the food is delicious. The only thing is that the alcohol here is local, so it’s better to bring it with you by buying, for example, in a dutik. There is an a la carte restaurant but in principle it's not even worth going. The beach is not very good due to the fact that entering the water to swim or see the underwater world will only work from a rather long pontoon. But it's a good reef. But if you can’t swim in the wind, then you can move away from the hotel’s beach and walk to a good lagoon. The water is knee-deep at the shore and, in principle, it is normal for children to splash around. The beach is clean, the beach itself is wide. There are enough umbrellas and sunbeds for everyone. There is a bar and a volleyball court. There is even a small playground with climbing frames, but it’s true that it doesn’t have a canopy. In principle, we know how to swim and rested without children, so we liked the beach and of course the hotel as a whole.
