Rested in this hotel with a family from 13 to 20 July. Ultra all inclusive. For people without a crown on their heads, an excellent combination of price and quality, although of course this is not 5 *.
AnexTour operator. At the airport, they were met clearly and quickly, though they offered to fill out migration cards for $ 1, but it’s not difficult to do it yourself, and now you don’t have to pay for visas.
We have already written about a minibus that takes tourists to hotels, we also managed to turn out to be its clients. The persistent Arab spun everyone for a dollar for each bag of luggage that he loaded and secured on the roof of the bus. The whole bus looked out the back window, afraid to be left without luggage.
We drove for about 30 minutes.

The hotel area is huge. There is enough greenery, but of course it cannot be compared with the neighboring Iberotel Makadi Beach hotel. Settled, as many here write in the 10th building. I don't even know if that upset us or not. Together with the suitcases, we were taken to the place on a micromobile. Room window to the pool. Behind the body begins the desert. The sea is in the opposite direction 5-7 minutes walk.
The furniture in this building is of course old, the TV is grandmother's, the bed linen is grandfather's, according to reviews, we were ready for this, so we were not very upset. A small fridge with drinks, a safe, built-in air conditioning with temperature control. The room was cleaned and bed linen changed daily, regardless of the dollar left.
Sweets were not brought to the room, so there were no ants.
The beach is excellent - sand, fenced with a net with buoys, there are a couple of corals with fish, there are not so many of them, but there is something to see. You can go to the neighboring beach, there are more corals, but without special shoes there is nothing to do there. There were always enough sun loungers, but closer to the sea, you still need to borrow early. Everywhere is clean and tidy.
You can ride a boat, motor boat, banana, bun, parachute, diving, camels. There are souvenir shops on site. Prices are a couple of dollars more expensive than at the airport. You can buy a local SIM card from a guide or from local merchants, about $ 5 plus a card to replenish your account, you can also pay $ 5, enough for 10 minutes of talking with your homeland. So there is no chance to go negative.

Eight restaurants (seven of them by appointment), several bars, varied food, typical of Egypt with characteristic spices. We had breakfast and lunch in the main restaurant, dinner in A la carte restaurants. Liked the Asian, Italian and Mexican restaurants. Didn't like Arabic. There were soups, meat, chicken, fish, crabs, sushi, squid, rolls, couscous, carpaccio, pasta, barbecue, fruits (watermelons, oranges, bananas, dates, apples), vegetables, ice cream, desserts. . . , everything just didn't get to try it. Portions in restaurants are huge. You can choose up to 3 courses plus dessert. Particularly pleased with the lack of UPI. Packaged juices, tomato juice and beer in bottles and on tap, mineral water, Pepsi, cola, fanta, . . and of course local and imported spirits. You can always find a free table yourself or contact the waiters. Enough dishes. The queue for some dishes is no more than 5-6 people. Everywhere there are vending machines with various types of coffee, Nesquik, milk, tea.
The attitude of the waiters towards us was excellent, almost everyone understood Russian, smiling, friendly, unlike the previous hotel in which they looked at us like Lenin at the bourgeoisie. Restaurants have a dress code for men, so bring trousers, a shirt or T-shirt and closed shoes.
Several beautiful pools, three slides. Good animation. Lots of animations. Russian-speaking animator Vovka. Children's rooms.
The hotel has three times, for example: Egyptian (8:00), hotel (9:00) and Moscow (10:00). Why no one knows their time in the hotel, I guess, to put everyone to bed an hour earlier)). economy, however. But moving in and out is according to Egyptian time.
Rest were satisfied.
Anex delayed the flight by 5 hours. And the shuttle was 30 minutes late. This is probably the only disappointment.
