My husband and I rested here in May 2009. We are from Lithuania. This is our first trip to the "exotic". They were satisfied.
The hotel, or rather, its territory is small, but beautiful, well-groomed. Our room (810), I think, was normal: there was enough space for the two of us (on May 9 we even danced with my husband), the bathroom is large. Everything is clean, the bed is made. Towels will be changed if you leave them on the floor in the room. And if there are hooks in the bathroom, then they suit you, and they will not change.
The staff is very welcoming, friendly.
We were fed normally (we are not picky), we liked everything (what we managed to try, there were 3-4 hot ones), a lot of sweets, fruits.
I really liked the ATV tour in the desert to the Bedouins. We took a tour not through a tour operator, but from locals (much cheaper).
Immediately upon arrival, I advise you to go to the Turkish bath and massage, and after that, sunbathe.

When buying souvenirs and other things, I advise you to bargain VERY: if they ask for 20 dollars, offer 10. Do not yield, leave: for 20 you can buy the next day. I bargained a set (earrings, necklace and bracelet) at a street vendor for $10. (he first asked for 20), and he sold me the second set of the same set for $ 4 already. YOU FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!
As for the first time, I liked the hotel, but next time we will choose not in the center, but on the outskirts of Hurghada, with a large territory, away from shops, souvenir shops, street vendors (which is what the whole of Hurghada consists of).
Enjoy your holiday, including in this hotel. Moreover, the TENDERING SUN, THE MOST PURE SEA ON EARTH (not a single river flows into it) compensates for all minor troubles. The main thing is to treat other people (it doesn't matter that they are Arabs) the way you want to be treated. and you will receive a SEA OF POSITIVE.
