This is not the first time in Egypt, so I will try to use my experience for an objective assessment of the hotel. I'm not a pessimist, but I think it's right to point out all the negative aspects of the rest, suddenly it will come in handy for someone.
So:
Weather in late February - early March:
very unstable. Day +16, day +28, but the wind was always there, which made the rest not comfortable. Sea +18- +19.

Sea and beach.
The sea is a bit shallow, up to buoys barely full-length, at low tide and completely chest-high. And the tides were daily in the morning. There are remnants of corals (stones) in the water, so when swimming you need to be careful not to run into them. And there are almost no fish  ((There were jellyfish (not many)
Both the sea and the beach are not very clean, there were glasses in the water, orange peels, etc.
Trestle beds are not comfortable, plastic, it is not possible to decompose completely horizontally.

The dampers from the wind are also not very good, firstly, they are heavy, secondly, they have slots through which it blows more than if they were without dampers at all, and thirdly, they are not stable and, when falling, they can hurt in earnest, especially children. And fungi don't really protect from the sun.

Hotel
The territory is very beautiful, everything is in flowers, comfortable tables near the restaurant.
The boxes themselves are very old. The rooms in the standards are all "connectin", i. e. with a partition between two rooms. This is a huge minus of the hotel, because the audibility is 100%, you hear how the neighbors breathe. Same problem in superiors.
Another disgrace is the building where the numbers "standard" (Aida) are on technical equipment: on refrigerators, laundry rooms and some other eternally buzzing mechanisms, which at 23 o'clock begin to roar at all until they automatically turn off. It is impossible to find a number in relative silence, these mechanisms are both to the right and to the left of the case, and in the middle, where the bar, that is, something, is buzzing.
View of the construction site and the road, or the territory of the hotel.
Superior is better. Quieter and better view. Rooms can be changed within your building.
The furniture in the rooms is very modest, everything is economical, there are no gels after the shower and pencils, notepads, etc.
The air conditioners are very old, hum and emit a very bad smell (I don't think they are ever cleaned)
mosquitoes!! ! ! ! It is very difficult to get rid of them in the rooms. They climb from ventilation shafts, hoods, I don’t know where, not a single night has passed without mosquitoes. I had to use the Rapter, open the windows, and from there, the rumble from the mechanism ...

Service.
Say what you like, but the attitude towards the Germans (Western Europe) is much better than towards us, the Slavs  (((You are not noticed until you make a request several times. I even had to resolve this injustice with a complaint to the restaurant manager. I hate to buy attentiveness with money (thank you for the good service after the service).
I think that service should be worthy in any case.
Food.

Everything was enough, but also economically. There are few fruits, few greens, not very good cheeses, bad sausage. I found someone else's lipstick on the cups !!!!!! ! ! There was a pebble in the muesli. After that, I almost sifted the muesli.

Animation.
The guys are funny, they invited me to play volleyball, to evening shows. There is a disco until 2 am (why? People disperse earlier, and the music rumbles)
But there is no music during the day on the territory of the hotel, on the beach only during charging. It's a pity.

Now about the "divorces" of tourists.
1. Upon arrival in Egypt, Anex tour queues everyone up and sells visas for $ 17 /
And next without a queue for 15. At the entrance to the airport on the left, where the exchange. Don't enter Anex.
2. You can buy excursions at a street travel agency, this is when you exit the hotel to the right of ё100 meters. Everything is 1.5 times cheaper there. But here is the GUIDE from ANEKS MUHAMMED, when he found out that we had bought an excursion there, he shouted insults after us (you are stingy!
, bad tourist! ). I can’t imagine how a German or a Scandinavian would be shouted like that (they also bought excursions where it was cheaper). This is an attitude towards our countries, dear Slavs (((And this must be stopped, either by refusing to travel to them, or by something else. I don’t know.
More. Guide Mohammed in collusion with the employee at the reception. When I started ordering a lunch box, they started yelling that we weren't allowed a lunch box because we didn't buy the tour from Mohammed. I then put them in their place, received my lunch box, but those who kept silent, went to Luxor without food.
That, perhaps, is all. If there are questions, ask.
