The hotel is more suitable for families with children. Lots of couples with small children. I don’t know about the rooms with baby beds, but the restaurant has special high chairs for children and separate small tables with chairs.
Young people will be bored (this is about us). The animation is dull, and there is no one at the disco.
In principle, we were satisfied with the hotel, but the food leaves much to be desired. Every day the same thing - pasta, rice, sometimes fried potatoes. At the end of the holiday, there was no desire to eat there at all.
When traveling on excursions from morning until late in the evening, the hotel provides dry rations - a bun, a croissant, an apple, a small bag of juice and 2 packs of honey. Even if you will be fed 1 time on the excursion, this is still not enough. I advise you to take their pastries with you at the hotel restaurant (and they have a very tasty one), it will come in handy.

When checking in, we were surprised that when we asked to change the room (we were given the 1st floor of the building farthest from the sea), it was changed immediately and without extortion of a tip. As a result, we lived in building 3.
By the way, if someone will rest in this building, bring a chocolate bar to the security guard (uncle with a mustache, there was one such). He asked everyone for it so much)))) Chocolates are better for them than tips. We regretted that we did not think to stock up on small tiles.
We liked the room. You can see the added photos. But this hotel does not know about an elementary set of cosmetics. Everything is limited to liquid soap-gel-shampoo in one dispenser. Therefore, I advise you to take all these funds with you.
If on the first day you go to Hurghada with your tour operator to a souvenir shop and an oil shop, do not buy anything there. Prices are unreasonably high. All the same can be bought in shops across the street from the hotel, though you have to bargain for a good price.
I also advise you to take a walk in the Cleopatra Bazaar shopping center - a 10-minute walk from the hotel towards Hurghada. There is a large fixed price shop on the ground floor. A large selection of all kinds of souvenirs, clothes, there are leather bags, belts. The prices are very good. I advise you to buy magnets and other rubbish for gifts there.
If you have questions, please ask.
