Hotel ratings by criteria:
A normal hotel, one heated pool, swimming in the sea is only possible from the pontoon of an abandoned hotel on the left - you have to go through the lagoon to it. Meals - economical option, drinks - wine for lunch, dinner, bottled beer, orange juice for lunch, dinner. The occupancy rate is 30%, mainly - Arab families, us - Belarusians and Ukrainians - 5%. There is food, but specific: meat, fish and chicken, there is always a turkey (except for breakfast). The food restaurant is terrible. In the basement, no windows. Like a prison, but there is a great see-through restaurant overlooking the pool/sea, but it's closed. In general, you will never leave hungry! The hotel does not cook, they bring from Hawaii Le Jardin.

Near the main pool - heated - after breakfast, sweets + fresh + fruits are taken out and treated to tourists every day. The water park is open on time from 10 to 12, it seems, but if it’s not turned on, you need to go to the Aquaman in the pool and ask: they turn it on upon request. The pools in the water park are ice cold!

The area is clean and well maintained. Rest is calm. Spa - $10 massage. An excellent massage is done by Lech - a girl. The rooms on the 3rd floor are normal, it is necessary to check and show the "suitcase director" upon check-in. Then call the reception and demand to fix the non-working / broken. The bed was changed twice in 10 days, cleaned normally, in the morning. Money does not beg. Generally. There can be only two keys to the room, on the second you write and sign a piece of paper - if lost - a fine for eviction. I also knocked out the third key - practically with a fight (there were five of us adults in the room).

Guide - Ahmed - of course - did not strain, from the word at all. He said - if you do not need excursions: bye, see you. We didn’t go on excursions, we took a taxi to the bazaar (they took it from the hotel) - 7 dollars there and back. Opposite a cool supermarket, big. There are all the price tags, the goods in it are Turkish. You can pay by cash and card (will add 3% when paying by card). Good store.
It is called 3 piramis it seems. Internet in the hotel is at the reception, free of charge. Pulls of course bad. You can’t watch youtube, but messengers are fine.

If there is a need to purchase a local SIM card, I share my experience: leave the hotel after breakfast, go towards the center (to the left) until you see the bank of Egypt on the opposite side. There you exchange 20 dollars for an Egyptian pound, cross the road and in a residential quarter - right next to the highway there is a Vodafone store (type), but it is a fake store, a deceiver sells there, but every morning - even on weekends - a Vodafone car drives up there. This friend sells SIM cards and replenishes numbers, you just need to have an Egyptian pound with you - otherwise you will have to go to the bank (which I already mentioned) and make an exchange. Look like that's it.
