To be honest, I was a little afraid to go to 4 *, because I prefer a high level of hotels and especially food, I am afraid of any poisoning on vacation and other things. But the hotel justified itself for 5+.
Firstly, all the photos on the Internet do not convey the exact look and image of the hotel, it looks strange on the pictures, in fact it is much more interesting and beautiful. A big plus of the hotel is that it is made in the form of an old city, there are no large unnecessary wastelands along which you need to go to the restaurant, for example, in the very sun. It turns out that everywhere you walk through the streets, courtyards, halls, everything is in the shade. This is a very big plus at a temperature of + 38 degrees, which was 2 days after our arrival. Here is the neighboring hotel Dana 5 *, where we went to the beach, made in the usual way: solid wastelands, flower beds, grass, continuous sunshine, and, frankly, it cannot be compared with the beauty and convenience of Leila. For this our hotel 5+.
Everywhere is clean, not a single mote, Arab students (in appearance) are constantly sweeping, cleaning, washing, from morning to night. This process never stops. If someone spills something, an Arab with a mop immediately rushes with great joy on his face! : -)

Rooms: all the buildings are very interesting and the rooms in them too, but there is one mysterious building where everyone who has a standard is accommodated. This is horror. This is for 2*. It is located near the main large pool and there is no window in it, or rather it is, but it goes into a closed pipe, there is an old air conditioner and it drives air from this closed pipe to your room, the bathroom also sucks full, the air conditioner is as old as it used to be large window air conditioners. If you turn it on - it's impossible to sleep, it screams terribly, to be honest, I don't know how people lived in the heat of +38 in these rooms, because you can't open the door at night - it goes straight almost to the pool, and you can't open the window and you can't turn off the air conditioning . But since I already knew from the reviews about this joke, immediately upon arrival I gave $ 10 in my passport and said that I needed a room with a balcony. Unfortunately, we checked in in the evening and there were no available rooms at that time, so we had to sit out in this terrible barn until 11 at night, and for joy at 11 pm we moved to an excellent room on the second floor with a huge window on the entire wall, with a large balcony, level 3 * (3 and not 4 because there are not new rooms), overlooking a small enclosed courtyard with a small pool in which we swam (very convenient). There is no kettle in the room, no disposable bath shampoo, soap, etc. Only liquid soap. But the room itself is very nice, apart from the old plumbing and the old shower. Good general air conditioning, TV. They left tips for cleaning, gave good clean towels and 2 bottles of water per person in the refrigerator. There is no minibar.
FOOD: excellent, not very diverse right there, because basically the same side dishes, salads, sweets, only hot one or two dishes change, but the food itself is really sooo much. No themed evenings were noticed, 1 time was clearly a fish day with a bunch of fish and shrimp with squid. And so it was always meat, and barbecue, and chicken, and fish, and pizza. Lots of sweets, lots of salads, lots of fruits (small bananas, peaches, watermelon, fresh dates, apples, oranges).
Tea and coffee, good local wines, good beer (imported in my opinion).
STAFF. For 10+. Excellent attitude towards customers, smiles, jokes, none of the hotel workers pestered (excluding sellers in local shops, but they have such a job). Everyone is very friendly, only positive emotions. No discrimination against Russians (Ukrainians) was noticed. The hotel was 90% Germans, there were Poles, at first there were no Russians at all, then 10% percent came from the north of Russia.
MINUSES: no normal juices, only yuppies and coca-cola and other poison for the body : -) the hotel is constantly washed with some kind of smelly agent, it smells like mastic or dichlorvos : -), I suspect that they are poisoning flies, mosquitoes and pr, maybe in the hotel absolutely no insects were noticed, neither in the rooms, nor on the territory, and even more so in restaurants. The hotel is located on the 3rd line, you need to wait for a minibus to the beach, 10-15 minutes, and they don’t go back after 17-18:00, so we walked back through the Dana hotel, in general, not stressful, but not very hot in strong heat cool. This is in general, not counting the building with rooms without windows, who are lucky enough to live there, and all the minuses of the hotel, because everything else is solid pluses.

OPERATOR: we went from the Tez-tour operator and were amazed at the level of service, luxury buses, huge work, cat. makes the teztour office in Egypt, guides, how they all value their work, this is 100% visible, it is clear that they are checked there, and not just let go to pretend that they work, no one imposed excursions, answered all questions. Well done! If you go again, then only with a tez-tour, because other operators were simply lost there, the teztour had a separate place with its own huge advertising board in the hotel, and a chic fleet, people from other operators drove some kind of small minibuses, their The guides at the hotel were sitting in an incomprehensible place.
