Arrived at the airport at nine o'clock in the morning, while issuing visas ($ 25 per person), while passing customs, arrived at the hotel about 11 o'clock. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very polite and pleasant Kyivan Valeria, who provided complete and comprehensive information about the hotel, also helped with the check-in. I want to note that when choosing rooms, you do not need to tip any receptions at the reception (the standard can be replaced by a super number with a surcharge of $ 7 per night, for a room by the sea - $ 13) if they are usually available. The hotel is completely filled - rush - 70%, Germans - 20%, others - 10%. Room keys were issued after 12:00. We were housed in the 2000 building (very good location - near all restaurants, and the sea nearby).
Number. We settled on the third floor (room standard). The room has a large plasma (replaced all our TV), there is a Ukrainian channel 1 + 1, a sprite was delivered to the mini fridge every day, do not pay for it, drink every day.
The room is cleaned constantly, linen has not been changed in 10 days, bath towels are changed daily, at your request to replace beach towels. The room has a shower, no bath. There is a safe.

The beach is large, but after 9 hours it is difficult to find a free place. The sea near the shore is deep, near the left there is a shallow lagoon for children. If you walk on a sandy spit (400m) on the high seas (depth from the knees and beyond) you can swim with a mask - a lot of fish, there are small corals. The water is warmer than near the shore. Low tide and high tide every day, but there is always water by the sea near the shore. There is a bar on the beach, open from 9 years. On the right are refrigerators filled with bottled water, take as much as you want, no one will say anything.
From 10 o'clock you can take alcoholic beverages, beer, juices (natural juices - orange, tomato, guava, apple), if you want, take a bucket of ice from the bartender - fill it with beer, water, juice and go to your place, put on the table under umbrella and have fun until dinner.
From 12 o'clock in the bar on the beach begins a mini lunch - fry meat, chicken, bake buns, cook french fries, eat salads, if you do not want to go to lunch, you can eat plenty on the beach.
Food. The hotel has 4 main restaurants - Italian Castello, German Zum Kayzer, Asian and Oriental. Breakfasts in Italian and German, lunches in Italian, dinner in all restaurants. All restaurants work in free mode, without records, wherever you want, there you go. There are always places. The most delicious dinner in an oriental restaurant, I recommend. The food is excellent - everything is fresh and high quality.
For breakfast cheeses and sausages of 5-7 different varieties, grease eggs, bake potato pancakes, there are meat sauces with meatballs, fresh salads, just baked croissants, sweets for every taste, lots of fruit. Lots of meat dishes for lunch, spaghetti, pizza.
Bavarian sausages and king prawns are prepared for dinner, as well as oriental pilaf and manta rays, whatever you want (of course not every day, the menu changes every day). The food is excellent. If you want beer - they bring beer, if you want wine or alcohol - they carry it in any quantity, drink as much as the soul desires. Stella beer is super, local spirits for amateurs. Dinners have a place to sit - a lot of bars, in the hall in front of the reception prepare very tasty coffee with a drink (a choice of cognac, whiskey, rum, gin) is also free.
The staff is friendly and unobtrusive, money as in other hotels do not require anything. Their preparation for working with tourists is impressive. If you give yourself a tip, then either in the bar or in the restaurant you will not leave.

They asked for two glasses of wine and brought whole bottles. These are the Egyptians - polite and kind.
Shops across the road, a lot of them.
Prices are affordable, but if you have visited Egypt many times, the prices can be halved, you need to be a little more persistent than they are. And they respect Ukrainians very much, if you say something from Ukraine, they overwhelm you with questions, because they don't believe what the rush tells them.
Excursions were taken at the hotel - quad biking on safari (interesting), were on a sea trip to the island of Utopia (weak), went to Dendera, historical tour (interesting), and the fourth tour was given for free as a bonus for three - 1001 nights want to take for money $ 25 from a man, I do not recommend).
In general, everything. The hotel is super, Valeria - from the tourist service center - well done, the sea is warm and gentle, the food is great, the staff is trained, go and relax, you will not regret it. Pleasant divination and warm sea.
