Yesterday we arrived from Egypt, I can tell you the following about the hotel.
1. Accommodation.
They brought us to the hotel at 11 o'clock, met the guides perfectly, said that the check-in was after 12.00 and asked to take a little walk. Also added, who wants to get good rooms, this issue is resolved at the reception.
When everyone went for a walk, we approached these guides and said that we had two rooms and we would like them to be nearby. They answered me, $ 20 for each number and everything will be ok! We did not bargain and after 30 minutes were in two rooms combined (there is a door between them) of 50 sq. m each! Super!!
Conclusion: good numbers start with the numbers 1 and 2, the rest are far away and some even very! If at the reception they give you a number for 3.4 or 5, it's better to give money! If the second number in the room is 2, then this is the second floor.
2. Territory.

Super! No worse than five in Turkey! There is not much greenery, but the pools, bridges, in general, are very beautiful!
5 restaurants, we liked the first one from the reception. There are many bars, which one you will better understand during your vacation. Be sure to take "information" at the reception, there is a map of the hotel and a schedule of bars and restaurants.
The water park is amazing for both adults and kids. Before breakfast, take seats anywhere, we had no problems with this!
3. Food.
To be honest, Turkey is better and more diverse. But I have never been in fours and in Egypt, there is nothing to compare with. But I can safely say that you won't go hungry, that's for sure!!!
4. Sea, beach.
Beach 1.5 km. We went by bus, to go exactly 5 minutes. He starts walking around 8:15. The first races are beaty, then simpler. They go often!
If you go later, it's hard to find sunbeds wherever you want. We were located near the bar, there is a very tasty chicken kebab for lunch, and it's not far to run for drinks.
There are two piers on the beach. We dived from the right (if facing the sea). There are corals and lots of fish. My husband saw a stingray, an octopus.
We went to the territory of "Dana Beach" (it is on the left, if facing the sea) We rode there in the afternoon on catamarans, for children a children's swing. In general, you can go, for a change.
5. Animation, leisure.
Children's animation in German. In the evening there was a disco for children, Russian kids also danced. My child did not go to the kids club, but I saw Russian children there as well.
I won’t say anything about adult animation, I wasn’t interested. There was live music in one of the bars in the evenings, we mostly sat there.

We went for a walk to the Dana Beach and Leila hotels, went to Hurghada, in general entertained ourselves. In Leila you can take pictures, ride camels for 3 bucks. If you enter the hotel from the side, from our side, then it seems to me that you can get to the show 1000 and 1 night for free, but this is not accurate information. The show is there on certain days. If from the main entrance, they require a ticket.
6. Purchases.
Don't buy anything right now! We stumbled on the are. oil. In stores near the water park, they sold it to us for 3 pounds per ml, supposedly at a discount, because. it costs 4 pounds. As a result, it turned out that everywhere it is for 1 pound !! ! It wasn't pleasant. There are many Yolki-Palki shops on the way to the sea, there are very sticky sellers. We went to Hurghada by taxi, $ 5 one way. Lots of taxi drivers. From the hotel it costs 7$/
If you stand facing the neighboring hotel "Leila", then on the right, 300-500 meters away. There is a supermarket with normal prices. You can go for a walk in the evening to pass the time.
And I also concluded that everything can be bought at the airport on the way back, for the same price as in a hotel, maybe even cheaper!!!
7. Excursions.
We went on two excursions (east walk and El Gunn) from our tour operator (we sell this hotel only TEZ tour) Everything was at the highest level. And we decided to take a boat trip on the beach, SKY company (they are in yellow T-shirts) - as a result, we were only Russians on the boat, only Germans, no organization. The sea smoothed out the disappointment! And the price, oddly enough, is the same, taking into account the fact that we were given discounts at the hotel.
I really liked the excursion to EL GUNNA, take it, you will not regret it - there is an educational excursion, an aquarium, fishing, and dolphins... I got a lot of fun !!
On boat trips, take bread and a bag, you will feed the fish from it !!!
8. In the end, I want to say, bring chocolates, pens, vodka with you (we exchanged it for a phosphorus figurine, which costs $ 30-40) $7 per 100gm.
Put vodka in a suitcase, they did not check for quantity. They carried a lot of water in hand luggage, they didn’t take it either from us or in Hurghada! They brought a large scallop shell and a bunch of small ones from a paradise island.
In general, the rest was a success, if you have any questions, I will answer!

DO NOT GIVE MONEY for a room. If you don't like the number, tell them about it and ask for another one. And then, if it suits you, at your discretion, give them a couple of $. Practice has shown that they take money, take it to a bad room, you don’t like it, take it to a better room and ask for money again (the first time you give money at the reception, the second time - to another poor fellow).

By the way, my room was 3037 Excellent room with a large double bed, with paintings, 1st floor, private pool. And we got it only after initially giving money at the reception, we were taken to a room on the 5th line. Do not take 4-5th lines .. far .. extreme.

I don’t argue, for 3, like yours, it’s not bad either, but we needed 2 rooms nearby, because. I lived in one with my husband, in the other two of our children. We could have settled in one room, they are really big, but we paid for two rooms and sometimes we wanted to be in silence, the children also had fun without their parents. And only because of this we gave money, fearing that this option would no longer exist.
And $ (we can, of course, a lot) were taken from us after, as they showed from the reception the territory where the rooms will be located.

By the way, when we walked around the territory and went to the 4th and 5th lines, my husband liked it there - silence, his own "peace". So how many people, so many opinions will be ...
And since we liked everything, everything suited us, it means that we successfully spent our long-awaited holidays!
