I never write reviews, but after reading what is written, and then having gone, I still decided.
Holiday experience in Egypt : )
Taba, Hilton 5*, Hurghada Steigenberger Al dau Club(ex. Aida verdi) 4*, 2 times.
In addition, Turkey, Bulgaria, etc. but this does not apply to Egypt. Too specific country.
1. I do not describe the flight, because it is different for everyone.

2. MEETING. At the airport, we (2 families with children 9 and 3) were waiting for us despite the 1.5 hour delay, One Sky Tour (the meeting party). We were alone on the flight to this hotel, so we were brought to the hotel very quickly, literally in 20 minutes. They filled out all the necessary documents for us, talked about something at the reception, issued cards and escorted us to the room. The director of the meeting company left his business card with mobile number. and offered to call him personally for all questions. I didn’t have to... There is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception, who pretty well builds the hotel staff, if necessary.
We settled in the main building, No. 118 and 115.
3. NUMBERS. We had a first floor balcony. The room has everything you need, including an ironing board and iron. Bath (not a shower cabin), hair dryer, soap-shampoo-cream-gel of fairly good quality. Double sliding window-door to the balcony.
The bed for the child was brought and made up immediately and without reminders. Cleaning without a hitch. If you remove the perfume, put a new one. A dollar on the bed is accepted, but it does not affect anything. The swans were spun 1 time. Central air conditioning, works for heating and cold. Refrigerator....well, as always, small, for a mini-bar. By the way, it was not filled out (and well, in order to avoid further claims).
I don't know about other buildings and bungalows.
*(advice: if instead of your card, insert any other card into the slot near the entrance, the light will not turn off after you leave and all devices in the sockets will work, including the air conditioner)*.
Bathrobes are provided upon request. Please contact the Housekeeper or reception.
Beds are changed every other day, towels, if you put in the bath. This is written on the memo in the bathroom.
ANTS and MOSQUITOES: yes. It's still the first floor. If you stop dragging food from the restaurant, then the ants do not come : ). Mosquitoes had to be beaten out every evening. But it didn't bother me too much.
4. FOOD. 2 ALL restaurants in one building and 2 for money on site. Restaurant ALL "LOTUS" is simpler, Italian ALL is new, opened on 01/15/11. The choice of food and entourage is better in Italian. Breakfast is the same everywhere.
*(Tip: at the entrance to the Italian there is a waiter and arranges a queue. If you go to the right from the main exit from the reception along the restaurant, then at the end there will be an open door there, but without a waiter. Take tables : )*

Bars. . . well, like everywhere else. Beer, local strong alcohol, juices IN PACKAGES (! ), tea, coffee, wine, cola7apsprite. From 12 o'clock french fries and hamburgers, shawarmahotdogs.
*(By the way, quite . . )*
The set of food corresponds to 4 *: breakfast-eggs, scrambled eggs, yogurts, fresh vegetables, potatoes, fruits (grapefruit, oranges, bananas, dates), cheeses, sausages *(specific)*, pancakes, tea, coffee, milk...
Lunch, dinner - 2 soups, beef, chicken, sometimes lamb, vegetables, fruits, pastries, rice, potatoes, vermicelli (pasta), fish - always. Sometimes some frills in the Italian style. There's something on the grill at Lotus every night.
*(For a 4* it's quite decent. )*
Neither we nor our children were hungry. None of us had stomach problems.
*(WASH YOUR HANDS)*
5. TERRITORY, BEACH. Big, green, clean. Every evening a walk around the perimeter takes an hour. There are always sunbeds on the sea and by the pools. Warm pools 3 (winter). The entrance to the sea is really long. You have to go deep. Coral is near the pier to the right of the beach. Coral slippers are desirable.
6. ANIMATION. I don't know, haven't used it : )
7. GENERAL. Taxi to Hurghada 20-25 pounds regardless of destination, but you need to catch on the road. Cars are better than vans. The hotel is aching and 30 and 50. The same amount back. To SENZO MALL (hypermarket 5 km) 10 pounds. BUT: you need to agree before getting into the car and be sure to announce that you will pay in pounds, otherwise he will say later that you promised $ 20 : )
Problems with a drunken company under the window at 12 at night are solved by calling the reception (just 7) ​ ​ within 2 minutes.
Excursions other than Luxor and Cairo can be taken in Hurghada. Just take the phone number of the agency so that you can contact if anything. Much cheaper.
PERSONAL OPINION:
Good value for money stay for a 4* hotel in Egypt. I'll be back again. Better than Steigenberger Al dau Club(ex. Aida verdi), but loses to Taba, Hilton 5*. If I go again to Hurghada, then most likely here.
Ready to answer any questions.
