I only write facts. I don't agree with the rave reviews or the bad ones.
I was looking for - a sea with sand from the beach (I can't swim), a beautiful green area, relaxation, diving - my manager advised this hotel.
Sea, beaches - there is a lagoon, left beach, right beach.
Lagoon - large prickly sand, not a breeze, very hot, no space. Good for kids. But when adults with children found sea beaches, they no longer swam in the lagoon.
Left beach - you need to enter from the pier (in no case from the shore - corals are 10 meters), ask people where the entrance is convenient - a couple of stones at the entrance and then sand. The sand is fine and gentle, the sea is calmer than on the right beach - better for children. Not far from the drinks bar. But the beds are very uncomfortable.

The right beach is the coolest. Almost always pleasant waves. There are always plenty of free and comfortable sunbeds. Least of all people. But far from the drinks bar. This is a plus for me, but I know people who did not go to this cool beach precisely because of the distance from the bar.
Territory - a huge red-hot, very little greenery, although well-groomed. Far from the sea - and it's all over hot cement - unpleasant.
Relax - will not. There are a lot of people, quarreling, shouting, having fun. I don't mind - but I wanted silence. Only on the right beach and rested.
Diving - not inserted as in Thailand. The water was cloudier and colder. 24 degrees - you freeze under water. Although the underwater world is a fairy tale.
The food is very good, very varied. But very little fruit is a huge minus for a five. When my neighbor told me that the food was bad, I tried to find out what she didn't like. It turns out there were no fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, sometimes undersalted. And the fact that there are heaps of other vegetables, full of meat, dairy, dietary, sweet products - they do not notice this. No poisoning. You can eat and drink almost around the clock. You cannot take food with you.
The room is normal. But the mosquitoes (or whatever they have) got sick. Although she turned on the raptor every night - Egyptian mosquitoes do not care about the raptor. There is no tea or coffee in the room. So who likes to drink coffee with a cigarette before going to bed in the room - it will not work out. You have to go to the bar. Before going to bed, I took coffee at the bar, poured it into a plastic cup and went to the room
Shopping - the hotel is expensive. Shops on the street across the road are also a little expensive and disgusting. Go to Cleopatra - there are fixed prices and cheaper than those of the obsessive and sexually horny Arabs. Cleopatra - from the hotel across the street and to the left. When all the shops run out, cross the road, and Cleopatra will walk a little.
Entertainment - full and for every taste. For families with children - ideal. Yes, young people are out.
Tours. Took Luxor - 75 c. u. and diving $50 at the tour operator.

Luxor is very hot. Probably 60 degrees. Evaluate whether you can endure. I no longer listened to the guide, I tried to hide in the shade. In the last temple, I could not get off the air-conditioned bus at all. But when I looked at the pictures the next day - beautiful and powerful!
