Finally got around to writing a review about the hotel. We rested together for two weeks from 06 to 26 October 2010. , tour operator TezTour.
So, in order.
Transfer and accommodation.

We were taken to the hotel, filled out questionnaires at the reception, drank a glass of cold “juice”, received the key. Russian-speaking girl Vika works at the reception. Went to the room, found it, but. . couldn't find the entrance! It turned out that the window of the room faces the sea, into the garden, but the entrance is located on the side of the road leading from the entrance to the hotel to the sea. The owner, who is constantly on the territory, helped us find the entrance, we entered and were a little stunned! We got an advanced room with a hallway! Just like that, no money was given. We dropped our things and looked around. The furniture is forged, quite nice, but old. The room is clean, white walls, rugs on the floor, an old air conditioner under the ceiling in the corner (split - worked quite noisy).
In the toilet compartment, everything is modern: toilet, bidet, shower, sink, hair dryer, huge mirror and water heater. There were no problems with water. In the hallway there is a sofa, a chair and a floor lamp. The lamps are all also forged, in the same style as the furniture. A decent size balcony, two armchairs and a tiny plastic table-stool. Since we had already agreed when ordering the tour that we needed one large bed, the voucher for us said “French Bed”, and we got it. Bed is great! Huge, with a good mattress, three pillows, a thick blanket and a thin one in the closet. There is also a huge closet in the room, in which a small safe is hidden, and a table with accessories for tea drinking: a kettle (we had a kettle in the room, it seems that it should not be in the standard), two mugs, spoons, a bowl for tea and sugar. On the wall is a small LCD TV with four Russian channels.
There was a hitch with the safe - a safe with a digital lock, we read the instructions on the door, set our code, closed it, but it refused to open. I had to call the girl Vika through the reception, who after a while came and opened the safe with a universal key. The secret turned out to be simple - before entering your code, you need to reset the old one using the button located on the inner end of the door! Then we saw and heard more than once that the next newcomers were caught with a safe.
The hotel area is narrow and elongated from the entrance to the sea, squeezed to the right by the fence of the hotel under construction, and to the left by a low wall, behind which the Hilton flaunts. The reception is much higher than sea level - they are connected by a path with a rather strong slope, along which there are steps.
We got, probably, one of the best numbers - the 23rd. View through the palm trees to the sea, to the dining room - 50 steps, to the sea - 80.

The sun shone from behind, so the balcony was always in the shade, only in the morning the sun lightly touched it. In this hotel, all rooms look towards the sea, there are even buildings standing on the beach, but everyone has nuances. By the beach, some may find it noisy, since evening shows are held at the beach bar and are quite loud. Pool rooms once a week are also announced with loud sounds - there is a "Pool Party". The rooms at the reception and above it are the quietest, but also the furthest from the beach. You need to climb the stairs to them, take the elevator from the hall, or along the road from the beach up the hill. It is inconvenient for vacationers with children to push and lift strollers.
Beach, swimming pool, animation, entertainment.
The first time we went to the beach we were shocked by its small size! He, as, indeed, and the whole hotel, just TINY! At first, I didn’t like it, but then it turned out to be a lot of pluses - everything is within easy reach!
The beach is clean, sandy, limited to the left by a pier, and to the right by a breakwater made of stones. A rope with floats floats in the water, marking a safe area. But no one, of course, limits you - swim wherever you want. The entrance is sandy, gentle, on the right there are pebbles in the water. Slippers are not needed, there are no hedgehogs on the beach - they sit on the breakwater. In the morning, a boat approaches the pier - takes divers for the whole day, returns at five o'clock. Doesn't interfere.
To the right of the breakwater there are fish - you can swim with a mask, feed, fish. Mask and fins can be borrowed on the beach for free. Towels are issued on cards behind the beach bar. They are always clean, but harsh. There were always enough sun loungers, mattresses are collected in the evening, and in the morning they are delivered at your request. There are enough umbrellas, so you can always find shade. To the right of the fence there is a shower with warm water - there you can rinse after the sea, and at the exit from the beach there is a foot shower to wash off the sand.
Animation on the beach is very weak. We had a guy with us, either from the locals, or a foreigner, who spoke Russian tolerably, and a girl, Lena. Together, they could barely draw something. Basically, only calls sounded on the beach, in fact, aqua aerobics and pathetic attempts to learn belly dancing.
From 11 o'clock on the beach, music of completely different genres plays - from French rap to classical instrumentation, alternating with our rare songs. Doesn't stress. You can play volleyball. We had a badminton court set up. There are darts.

The pool is located in the middle of the hotel, approximately on the second level. It is small, but quite pleasant. It is divided into three zones: for adults - deep, you can dive from the side, for children and a "jacuzzi" fenced off with stones with bubbling water. Everyone loves to be photographed there. There is a fountain. In our presence, they dug up the lawn near the rooms and dug a boiler there - as I understand it, there will be water heating.
Evening entertainment is standard: Miss and Mr. hotel show, best couple contest, fire show, skirt dance, pool party. Everything is on schedule, which hangs in the bar on the beach on the wall behind the musical equipment. We found him four days later  . Not many people gather, the competitions themselves are like in a pioneer camp, but after drinking a little, you can even laugh.

Stopped for a year...

Now, a year later, before another trip to Egypt, I remembered the unfinished report!
I wanted, it was, to take a ticket there again, but I decided that I needed to try something new.
I recommend this hotel for a relaxing holiday in a cozy atmosphere.
