The unique structure of the hotel - buildings protruding into the sea - this is the main plus!
Incredible view from the balcony.
We lived in building 6 on the 3rd floor, overlooking the sea.
There is a view of the lagoon, but it’s not so interesting there, because you can see the opposite buildings on the other side of the lagoon and it’s much noisier, the whole entertainment program takes place there

The hotel has several beaches with different bottoms and depths.
Lagoon - with a sandy entrance, opposite the main building and the restaurant.
Fenced with buoys area for swimming with children (there are a lot of them! ).
Along the buildings, the depth increases, the entrance is with the help of stairs.
You can just swim in the lagoon, there are no fish, no corals, no wind.
Although, jellyfish often get there ((.


The beach on the left side of the hotel (behind buildings 4-5) is shallow, the depth is 1.5m, the entrance is via stairs. It’s good to splash around with a mask if the waves are too big at depth.
There are very few fish and corals near the shore, although once we happened to meet a rather large stingray there! A little further there is a very decent (for the hotel) reef with a variety of animals.

Behind the 6th building there is a pier for yachts (where boat trips are carried out daily), and a little further, in the part that protrudes as much as possible into the sea, there are 2 more stairs. There is already a depth of 7.5m and there are strong waves. After lunch, in that part of the reef, the lighting is especially good, it is interesting to swim along the reef wall and watch its bright inhabitants.

There is also a swimming pool with a bar next to the main building, but it is filled to overflowing with parents with small children.

hotel infrastructure.
The hotel is not new, but beautifully made, stylish. The abundance of wood and metal in the decoration, wooden furniture, balcony door frames.
Our room had a stunning view of the open sea from the balcony, plasma TV, safe, refrigerator, air conditioning and plumbing functioned normally.
Plumbing is new.
Air conditioning is noisy but you get used to it quickly.
Cleaning is sloppy despite the tip. But be patient.

All beaches are equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, showers, bars.
2 towel dispensers on both sides of the lagoon.

There is only one restaurant and it is located in the main building.
This is, of course, the main disadvantage of the hotel.
One restaurant simply cannot physically serve such a large hotel.
Hence the queues, the search for cups, plates, cutlery, etc.
The staff tries hard, but they just can't keep track of everything.

The food is a very peculiar all inclusive, there is no assortment, but, in principle, you won’t stay hungry and you won’t get poisoned.
Edible meat and fresh vegetable salad for lunch and dinner are usually prepared on the street, from ready-made dishes for my taste (and for the taste of most guests) you can eat only side dishes (boiled rice, potatoes, pasta in tomato sauce).

The fish was inedible.
For breakfast, scrambled eggs and pancakes are also cooked on the street, there are huge queues for scrambled eggs, if you are too lazy to stand, inside the restaurant there is a more or less edible alternative called “French toast”.
Edible cheese is only homemade, quite salty, like cheese. With a tortilla and fresh vegetables it is quite edible.

In the afternoon, on the beach behind building 6, various burgers and potatoes are prepared, and pizza near the main building.
Drinks - as elsewhere in Egypt, local production.
Very decent bottled Stella beer.

Next to the stage where the evening show is held, there is a hookah bar, from where it is pleasant to watch what is happening, sitting on sofas and pillows.
There is a spa, gym, Craizy Dolphin water center with boat trips, during the day they drive a smart camel around the territory.

This hotel is suitable for an unpretentious public, able to treat with humor and indulgence to some shortcomings. First of all, for those who travel to Egypt for the sake of the sea and the underwater world.
