We traveled with our 5.5 year old daughter. Earlier at this time they chose Sharm, but this year they decided to try to relax in Hurghada. From the airport, the bus brought tourists only to our hotel, because. seminar was held at the hotel. In the morning there was a meeting with the Tez Tour guide - they filled out the forms, listened to the excursions - no one, no one, imposed anything. We went to the dolphinarium for $20. and rode on a bathyscaphe - 15 c. u. - but they were taken at the nearby PALMA hotel.
We arrived at the hotel at 10 am, settled within an hour, received a room in building 5 with a sea view on the 1st floor without additional payments (as ordered). Everything worked in the room - plasma with several Ukrainian and Russian. channels, air conditioning - sometimes turned on for heat, a kettle, plumbing. Shampoo/soap and tea/coffee/sugar replenished daily.
For children there is a playground, a kids club - they went several times, rode cars, drew, made face painting. In the evenings, mini disco, sometimes cartoons were shown on the big screen. Every evening there is a show in the indoor area near the Italian restaurant - live music, fire show, snakes, skirts, belly dance, African dances, mis and mister hotel, etc. During the day there was standard animation - exercises, yoga, aqua aerobics, dancing, darts, volleyball, boc. . .

Sun loungers near the lagoon - no umbrellas, but we mostly rested there - the child built castles and splashed in the water. But you can always find a calm place and an umbrella on different sides of the lagoon or by the sea. The water was rising in the morning, and in the afternoon there were low tides, both in the sea and in the lagoon, sometimes there was a child up to the knee near the limiter balls. The water in the sea was more transparent. You can enter both the stairs and just from the shore. The bottom is not very sandy, but we managed without special shoes. Given that the winter this year in Egypt is cold, there were several very windy days - we swam, but it was not comfortable to get out of the water. And the heat was not felt, so they got burned on the second day ((. In the evenings they put on blouses.
There are many bars around the area. There are two in the main restaurant. The staff is friendly and smiling. The administrator Dasha and the guestleration will always be happy to advise, help with advice and clarify if there are any claims. The food, as for a 4 * hotel, is not bad - I always found something to eat and how to feed the child. There were pancakes, omelettes, cheeses, yoghurts, vegetables, fruits, grilled meats, kebabs - lulakebab, liver, fish, sweets... There were snacks, late breakfast, late dinner, free ice cream. A lunch box was given on the road (but you need to remember to order it at the reception the day before) - juice, orange, cheese sandwich. Visited Italian and fish restaurant. Daughter liked the fish better. We also sometimes dined at the nearby SUNNY DAYS PALMA DE MIRETTE RESORT hotel - we took visitation coupons in the same place where we booked a la carte restaurants. Sometimes there was a queue in the main restaurant if you come to the end of breakfast / lunch. But food was always in abundance, if something ended, then they brought more.
Once a week, a carnival takes place - the restaurant staff brings out a huge cake, fruits, drinks, canapes... Clowns, stilt walkers, cartoon characters, balls, music are entertaining.
The pool, where there are large slides, at first was slightly heated, then they turned on more. The children's pool with slides was cold.
There were no mosquitoes. Bad moments too. There were few local residents. Free wi-fi was at the reception, weak, but if you choose a time when there are fewer tourists, then you can send a photo and talk on viber.
Bottom line: a hotel on the first line, it has: a sandy entrance to the sea, slides for both adults and children, there is only one heated pool, but it exists, a mini club and an evening mini disco, daytime animation, evening shows, free Wi-Fi and good nutrition.
We were satisfied with the rest, thanks to my husband) ).
We will recommend the hotel to friends.
