Rested at the hotel in the period from 10.02. 2012-17.02. 2012. We arrived - the weather was "super", as much as 15 degrees and a terrible wind. But we were still lucky, this weather was only 2 days on the day of arrival and on the eve of departure. So we managed to sunbathe and swim in the sea. When checking into the hotel, there were problems - they gave slop rooms, some were on the 1st floor in the main building (136.138 - right next to the discotheque), others were offered in a villa overlooking the sea, but it was quite far to go to the main building. Given the fact that it was only +15 outside, the villa was also abandoned. In general, having offered money at the reception, they gave 2 wonderful rooms 366 and 375 in the main building on the 3rd floor, one of mine 366 with a magnificent view of the main territory with pools and the sea, the other 375 with a sea view. We were already ready to give money, but the kind Egyptian at the reception said that this was a gift for us girls. So we got the magnificent rooms just like that, after running for an hour beforehand... As for the rooms: the furniture is old, of course, the hotel was built in 2003, but the room itself is wonderful, the bathroom is such that in other 5s (compare with Stela Makadi 5 * and Long Beach Resort 5 * Alanya) I have not seen such space. The bathroom really has a good deep bath, which is very good. pleased, because came to rest pretty cold and in the bathroom just soared her legs for the night (boiling water was coming). Loggias in the room - just huge! Also in the room there is an alarm clock (very convenient), ironing board and iron!!!
The hotel itself is huge: a large colorful green area, a long beach. As for the sea, we personally swam from Pantone. The reef can be better, of course, as in Stella Makadi, for example, but we saw stingrays, lionfish, and other necessary Egyptian living creatures in the water.
What struck me was the herons walking around the hotel, sitting on sun loungers and not afraid of vacationers.

Animation is great. Animators burned to the fullest every day, laughed to tears. And after the show, all the action went to a disco in the hotel (very incendiary by the way) or you could go to a disco in Hurghada from the hotel. For children in the evenings, too, entertainment with animators is not bad.
I liked the spa, everything is very decent and worthy. As for the contingent, 80% are Russians, the rest are Germans, Swedes, Italians, French and Arabs. Arabs rest in this hotel as well as citizens of other countries with children, there were immigrants with families from Algeria. However, they behaved well, although the dominance of the Arabs in the disco was amazing in the first days of rest.
The downside to this hotel is the food. If you are used to abundance and a great range of food, then this is not the place for you. Of course, you will not remain hungry, but you will not be able to eat from the belly. A very meager choice of food and most importantly, distinguished by an enviable constancy - the same thing every day. Some breakfasts only more or less pleased. I compare it with Stella Makadi 5*, where we tasted crabs on fire, pigeon wings, fresh guava. . . You won't find anything like this here!! ! The exception is sweets and juices - they were not diluted, but from bags. But if you want a cappuccino, but this is for a fee. I was struck that in the main restaurants there are no tablecloths on the tables (some pieces of patches). In the bars that are located near the pools and on the beaches you can taste ice cream, but again, this is where the pluses end. From the food in these bars you can find only hot dogs and french fries - EVERYTHING !!! ! Drinks in bars, such as coffee, are poured into plastic glasses and spoons are given, which are three times smaller than these glasses. I was shocked!! ! In general, gentlemen, there is nothing to eat in this hotel !! ! You won’t find dietary food, by the way, after 3 days, my stomach started to hurt from this bezarbuziya. excellent.
