Rested from 18 to 25 June. We arrived around midnight, for $ 10 we were offered a room overlooking the pool, but there was still a view of the construction site next to the hotel, so it didn’t make much sense) I also don’t recommend moving to the Sphinx (you will be offered for $ 60), because to. he is on the same territory with him, the beaches and pools are common, the same cook prepares. Room (412) is not new, but everything worked properly and it was not hot during the day. What I DID NOT like the most about this hotel was the cleaning: the bedding from the previous guests apparently was not changed, the dust was not wiped off the shelves. In the restaurant, the tables were wiped with something, after which they remained sticky and streaked. But: towels were taken every day in the morning, after dinner they brought clean ones. Beach towels can be taken on the beach in the morning, handed over in the evening, which is very convenient. Food: the choice is not very large, but in principle tasty and satisfying. Drinks are bad. You can sign up for dinner for free at the a`la carte restaurant, which is located on the beach on the territory of the Sphinx, which we did every day)
I filmed how to use the hotel safe. Because they don't leave any instructions, and then they start pulling money to teach you. So watch: https://youtu. be/kHqQlpBhDZ0
The biggest plus of the hotel is the beach, more precisely, 2 beaches: his and the Sphinx. There is a shallow beach with a sandy entrance to the sea, which is good for children, there is a deep beach with a pier. We took a swimming mask with us, we bought corals in a store on site for $ 4 (cheaper than in our country). There is a coral reef along the beach, so we got a lot of impressions!! ! Perhaps there are much more interesting reefs in Sharm, but we were in Egypt for the first time, so for us it was very surprising and impressive!

There are enough sunbeds and awnings on the beach, and after 4 hours it is generally in the shade from the building, so you can swim without fear of getting burned. The sun in Egypt is really very strong, we generally swam in T-shirts in the morning.
The animation at the hotel is weak, but we were not interested in it - we were driving from the sea and the pyramids (why we chose Hurghada - it is closer to the pyramids). For an excursion to the pyramids we paid $ 50 per person, we took it from our hotel guide, because. outside the hotel the infrastructure is not developed at all, there are only a couple of souvenir shops and mini markets for the local population. You can take a taxi and go to the center of Hurghada, but we did not go.
As for the pyramids - we really liked it!! ! I was worried about the road, because. it took 5 hours to go, but everything was organized at a high level: at the hotel we were given breakfast to go, the bus was large and with a toilet, after 2.5 hours we made a stop at a cafe. In general, if you want - you can safely go! My advice - do not go down into the pyramid, there is nothing interesting at all: an empty cellar (But the pyramids themselves are breathtaking! )
