We went to Harmony at the end of October 2010, a young couple (26-27 years old). In Egypt for the 4th time (2 times were in Sharm - Tropicana Grand Oasis / 2006, Royal Paradise / 2007); Menaville Safaga/2009.
Accommodation. We arrived at the hotel at 22.30, settled in 10 minutes later in a room on the first line with a sea view without surcharges (and hints of them). We were invited to go to the main restaurant for dinner. After dinner, we went to the bungalows, which consist of 12 rooms (4 on each of the 3 floors). The rooms are clean, large, one huge bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, large terrace, minibar, hair dryer, safe, everything works.
The reception and the main restaurant are located in a separate building. All villas are divided into seven lines (odd on the left, even on the right), 6-7 in each. The closer to the reception, the larger the number (for example, 7***, 6***, 5***). Those by the sea - 1 ***, 2 ***.

Mostly Russians and Ukrainians rest in the hotel, although there are Poles, British and Germans (but very few, somewhere around 95% versus 5%).
Pools in the hotel 4, plus jacuzzi. There is a waterfall, a grotto, bridges, slides in the children's pool. At the end of October 2010.3 slides for adults were installed. There is a lake with salt water, we did not swim in it, but we saw jellyfish.
Animation. They won’t let you get bored here, but they won’t force you to have fun either. During the day - volleyball, water aerobics, yoga, etc. In the evening there is a children's and adult disco, show time, live music near the pool bar, a "pleasant singer" and a mini disco.
The sea is worth it to "exchange" Sharm for Hurghada. They no longer hoped to find decent living creatures and at least some reefs in the “village of fishermen”. Here the number of fish was pleasantly pleased. We even saw turtles and lionfish. The only negative is the inconvenient entry through the stones, especially into the wave. If you are interested in reefs and fish, then go to the island on the left, through the stones and go! It is better to go where divers from the local club usually swim, do not climb over boulders and run into surgeons. Slippers are a must!! ! Well, if you want sand, shallow water and hot water, then also on the left, not reaching the island. The hotel does not have a pontoon and most likely will not, there are only lonely piles...
The territory is large and well-groomed, lawns are constantly mowed, everything is watered in the evening.
The food at the hotel is good, it is difficult to stay hungry. Meat, fish, liver, crabs, squid, shawarma, rice, potatoes, pasta, vegetables, omelettes, pancakes, pastries.
Guides from Teza could always be found, no complaints.
There are a couple of shops, but a bit pricey. Directly from this hotel you can ride quad bikes without collecting an hour of people from all Makadi hotels.
When leaving early in the morning, they gave juice, 2 buns and an orange (a trifle, but nice, because we didn’t hope for breakfast).

We recommend going to Senzomall for fruits and nuts, it cost $30 for 4 taxis from the hotel.
We do not recommend an excursion to the “Paradise Island”, at a stop in the sea there are half-dead single reefs, but there are 2 moray eels. And you can lie on your beach.
General impression. For little money, an excellent hotel on the first line, close to the airport, with a reef and fish (that was the main thing on our trip). Would return again!
