Well, here we are back... I must say right away that I liked it and even very much! We traveled as a family with three children from one and a half to 18 years old. Now in order.
Reception. The meeting was standard, check-in after 14 hours. Bracelets immediately on the hands and forward to explore the territory. We had time for lunch, which, after five hours on the plane and other rigmarole, was very pleasing. The only thing that overshadowed the arrival was that two adjacent doubles were not available. True, three days later the next one was released, which we were offered. Compensation was not offered, and I did not ask  . Yeees! The coffee in the lobby is excellent, the baristas are chatty, but they know their business. Be sure to try Ice-coffee. The Internet is insanely expensive, so if someone REALLY needs it, then it’s better to buy a SIM card for $ 25, ALS (BiblioGlobus) guides always have them, but I just don’t know about others, I think that too. The reception is best in the lobby, although at night it's great everywhere.
Nutrition. There's nothing new to say about previous reviews. In the first two days, they went through everything: everything is the same, except for the fever, and for dinner, the obligatory street distribution of dishes from the barbecue. Breakfast is the same everywhere. So they ate, as a rule, in the same restaurant, that is, in the one that was closer. There is a dietary table. The baby ate from the common table, they only chose dishes with a smaller (in our opinion) amount of spices. She had no problems with digestion, as in adults.

Aquapark. It's just SUPER!! ! Children could not be pulled out of the water. There were enough swimming accessories for everyone, even if suddenly there was no free single or double “cheesecake”, there was always an abundance of rugs. Sometimes, however, some slides did not work, but this did not affect the overall delight of the visit. There is, of course, a teaspoon of tar. The temperature of the water in the children's pool of the water park in the morning is VERY cold. Parents, please keep an eye on the children, otherwise the rest may turn into a problem. Of course, there is a small children's heated water park, but it is so small that it simply cannot accommodate all the kids. Attention! Who will go to the hotel with a stroller, there is only one convenient entrance / entrance - from the side of the paid entrance to the water park, where there is a clinic and a Mexican restaurant. The rest of the entrances are just stairs.
Animation. I'm not an expert here, but the youngest really liked the CHILDREN's foam party for Easter. How she burned! And if at all, then no one pestered us with calls to go to a disco or a belly dance. Who seeks will find. There are two booths on this topic in the lobby.
Beach. Amazing. The bus runs regularly, and it seemed to me, more than once every half an hour. In the main lagoon, the water is unclear, but if you walk along the left front along the shallows, then there is generally Sharm el-Sheikh. Fish, corals and clear water. It is very hot in the morning and the sun is very angry, be careful. For themselves chose the afternoon hours from 15. The water is hot. We were not in a hurry to get back to the bus - we walked if we were late. 20 minutes at a leisurely pace. The diner on the beach leaves much to be desired, this is in contrast to the main hotel. One beer poured in advance, put on the counter to warm up, says a lot… I didn’t try snacks, I had enough beer  Be sure to buy coral slippers in advance or upon arrival, don’t give more than $5.
Service. Pleased. Very attentive staff. Gardeners and those greet. They will always help the woman with the stroller, play with the child while the parents enjoy the food. For baksheesh, they will remember what you drink and at what temperature.
Number. If you are going to live in a room, then it will most likely disappoint you. If only to sleep, then there are no problems. Everything that needs to work, cool, pour and wash off. Sockets, that's just not enough. The rooms are cleaned and washed. A maid (well, I can’t call a maid a peasant’s tongue) usually remembers your daily routine, not for free, of course, and cleaning does not take place at the time of hygiene procedures. There were mosquitoes, but not very annoying, we did not offend them, but they us. Flies, yes, but where without them in Egypt, they live here, and everywhere.

Summary. Solid Egyptian 5 *, with the declared 4. The argument is appropriate, but reasoned. You can and should travel with children. The contingent is different, ours, Poles, Germans, French, even the British - these were the first time I met in Egypt in SUCH numbers. Lord, how much they smoke, and everywhere! With children in bars and in the hotel lobby. Saved only amazing ventilation. In Turkey, for example, this is not the case. It's forbidden there. Good luck to you all on vacation, fly and you will not regret it.
