The hotel is not up to the declared "good 4-ku". It seems that it was built recently, but it needs a good repair, the furniture is old, the cleanliness leaves much to be desired.
Upon arrival, they settled in a room where (! ) The refrigerator, safe and TV did not work. The safe was turned on in 20 minutes. They brought a new refrigerator (as a result, there were 2 of them in the room) and they promised to “send a master for the TV set”. As a result, the master never came, and the air conditioner broke down at night. That is, the view from the window, which did not open to the construction site, and the old crumbling furniture - do not count at all. The next morning we complained to the hotel guide (we traveled from TEZ-Tour), who after 10 minutes of talking at the reception said that we were being moved to another room with a balcony. They moved right away. The room is actually better. Everything worked, except for the safe (there were no batteries), the furniture was newer. BUT! The shower shelf was broken. They promised to fix it. Looks like it's been renovated. But under the pressure of the shampoo, it fell off, and so, on the floor, it lay safely for 2 weeks.
HOTEL AND TERRITORY

The hotel itself is not distinguished by architectural delights. Located right next to the road and stretches to the sea. The lobby is quite light, there are sofas and tables for smoking. True, the furniture is rather worn, and the ceilings and walls should be repaired. The same applies to corridors. There is free wi-fi in the lobby. The territory of the hotel is just a direct passage to the sea. Pretty green, cozy, but just nowhere to walk. This is a kind of corridor from the buildings in the hotel, which leads to the beach. There are 2 water slides, 4 pools (including a children's pool). Near the pools - new plastic sunbeds. There are enough places. In addition to the buildings, there are also bungalows, which are located on the seashore, and on such an artificial bay, but it looks pretty nice. From this "closed pond" - a lot of mosquitoes and a LOT of flies. Just an incredible amount. A nice wooden bridge leads to the beach. There is also a gazebo. True, there are construction sites on both sides. The view is completely unsightly. Yes, there is work going on in the area. They are drilling a well, or something... But in general, the territory is landscaped, landscaped, but very compressed. Not enough space.
ROOMS
The number is standard. 2 beds, battery-powered safe (we advise you to take your own, because handing them over immediately, which encourages you to buy new ones for $ 5  , mini-fridge, TV (3 Russian channels), dressing table with a mirror, bedside table, 2 chairs, small table, air conditioning. The latter is located rather unfortunately, as it blows on both beds. There is a kettle. There are 2 chairs and a table on the balcony. The lighting in the room is very weak, so you won’t be able to read in the evening. The bathroom is quite spacious, there is an additional mirror above backlight In order for the water in the shower to drain, you need to open such a hole in the floor (in the photo  . Otherwise, everything is ok.
TIP: Request a room with a balcony right away. The ones without it are just awful.
BEACH and SEA
Sand beach. Quite clean and tidy, but small. In order not to wash away, the line by the sea was reinforced with sandbags, which looks rather unsightly. On both sides are the same construction sites. But there was no work at all, so it was quiet and peaceful. The sea is excellent. The bottom is sand and infrequent islands of corals. True, to a depth of stomp either on the sea 280 meters, or on a wooden bridge, which ends with a staircase. Doesn't make a problem. Moreover, in the process you can see both fish and some kind of crabs. Water is wonderful. Net. The bottom is visible even if there are small waves. On the beach itself, there are old wooden and iron sunbeds, shabby mattresses, but in fact this was not a problem. By the way, the worker is Husem, very courteous and moderately friendly. Helps, lays a towel, moves a sunbed even without a tip. There were also quite enough places, since at the time of our vacation most of the tourists were Arabs, and they were hanging out more and more in the pool.
FOOD

Never got poisoned. And they never left hungry. Traditionally monotonous breakfasts: cold cuts, eggs, pancakes, donuts, pastries, cereals with milk, stewed vegetables... 4 types of tea, which pleased
Lunch was more varied. Dinner is full of everything. The first one didn't taste good. But rice is cooked perfectly. A lot of fish (3 kinds per day), chicken, beef. Garnish: potatoes, rice, pasta (and just pasta, and pasta, and stews with vegetables - to choose from), a lot of eggplant, carrots, pumpkins. Salads - did not like. They just took vegetable slices. The food is quite spicy, therefore, following the example of the Arabs, they poured everything with lime juice - it turned out to be delicious  Fruits: in the morning - fruit salads (melon + apple), lunch - 3 types of fruits and pudding, evening - 4 types of fruits and a sweet table. We were in the season of watermelons and melons, so they were given every day, grapes, bananas, oranges, apples, pears. There was enough food for everyone. There were no queues, fights too  The only thing, for those who love tea, I advise you to take your own. Egyptian is not particularly impressed. And the water there for tea and coffee is not particularly suitable.
BY THE WAY!!!!! ! WATER!!!! ! 2 bottles are brought to the room upon check-in and EVERYTHING!!!! ! There is a cooler in the corridors and you can get some water from there. BUT! You are not informed of this upon check-in. To buy bottled water later. Don't throw away the bottles!
There are bars near the pools and on the beach. There is nothing to eat there - they bring buns left over from breakfast, but to drink - anything. From plain cold water to tea 
ANIMATION

None. More precisely, it is missing. Animators saw 2 times at dinner. And once again, when he jumped out of the bushes with a socialite in his mouth and began to whistle right in the face. All. No fun games. The kids danced something on the stage, once they played football in the pool. All. Evening animation is also mmm....Is absent. Once we went to watch en belly dancing. We returned 10 minutes later. Nothing is visible, dancing - och. approximate. But for a relaxing holiday - that's it. True, sometimes in the evenings, if the windows overlook the courtyard, it is noisy. But not fatal.
TOURS
Excursions can be taken from a guide or on the beach at the hotel. The latter are cheaper. For example, a trip on ATVs + Bedouins + camels with a guide - 50 dollars, and on the beach - 35 (whomever is interested - I will throw off the whole price) True, historical and distant ones are not organized at the hotel, only trips on a boat-yacht-quad bikes... True, You can also bargain with a guide. For example, on a distant historical trip, I threw off 10 dollars from 180 dollars, and instead of 70, I gave away a trip on quadrics for 40.
Our vacation was a success, as we are not very harmful tourists. And we went there to see Luxor. It's a pity that there is nowhere to walk around, but the sea and the sun - eliminate all the bumps and troubles 
In the end, friends, draw conclusions, I will answer all questions. Write, ask. Photo - attached

Something about excursions, you compose some kind of nonsense or ... or you just don’t know what .. almost all historical excursions have a $ 5 discount per person, then when buying excursions worth $ 70 you can have a moto safari in general for 20 $ buy, all prices and discounts for excursions are fixed and posted on the TEZ TOUR website. and so they bred as suckers those who are too lazy to read some information before the trip. NO OFFENSE.
In general, the review is useful and interesting.

Well, yes, here, as a specialist for people like you, I compose nonsense. Here I am going to rest and I think: "What nonsense to write?". And thanks for the bugs!
