Since they were limited in time and the planned hotels were already in place, we had to choose from what was lost. After reading the reviews, we expected much worse. The number of stars of the concept is quite relative for Egypt, so we do not discuss them, look at the price compared to others.
1. The hotel is old (mostly furniture, walls in the rooms were updated) and at the same time clean (
2. The sea - who is waiting. There is a large lagoon, deep, sheltered from the winds, with activities for children and adults where mostly everyone swam. Along the left wing of the sea, the shoal - nothing interesting. The end of the left wing is 10 m from the sea where there are fish, for the first time enough divination, for others it is scarce. A few days later I found out that if you swim to the nearby beach "Zhahabia Beach" there are corals and animals, then there and swam.
3. Sunbeds.
Despite the fullness of the hotel and thanks to the large lagoon the sunbeds were full and free as well.

There was a place where they hit each other on the head and you can find a place where no one will touch.
4. Contingent. 60-70% - Russians, the remaining 30-40% - Poles, Czechs, it seems, Ukrainians (from our flight only the two of us), Germans, Latvians, Norwegians and some representatives of the Far East, Egyptians.
5. Restaurant. There was enough food, the range was normal, there was better food but it was much worse. For lunch and dinner fish, chicken, beef, potatoes, rice, pasta, various vegetables, 2 types of fruits and licorice. I doubt that people who usually go home at the above listed for one lunch go to this hotel, so nothing to say that swollen with hunger. For a week gave 3p crabs, rolls, quail, turkey, some large baked fish, constantly from 12 to 17 pizza. There are children's tables and chairs, separate food for children (quality not seen).
Restaurant service, lousy table setting.
wine is poured into plastic glasses, sometimes glass, you need to make sure that they are well washed (plates were normal).
One can agree that this is not a restaurant, but although McDonald's is also called a restaurant, there is not even food there.
As for service, you probably have what you deserve. When people allow themselves to walk to the table in swimsuits, sometimes even wet in T-shirts on a swimsuit and open back, regardless of age and size, Vietnamese, they should have enough disposable utensils. "big and powerful" so as not to go in swimsuits and dinner in shorts and sneakers, but probably not everyone can read.
6. Shops. There are expensive ones on the territory of the hotel, there are behind the hotel, 30-40 minutes walk to the Sheraton, taxi 2 dollars.
