The hotel was chosen from "burning" offers 2 days before departure. Traveled as a family with a 3 year old. The hotel is a 30-minute drive from Marsa Alam Airport. Upon check-in at the reception, they asked for $20 and a chocolate bar for early check-in. Bargained for $10 and a chocolate bar). Checked in at 10 am. Room 205 on the second floor in Building C.

It is worth noting that the hotel has all rooms with direct or side sea views, so do not be fooled by the "best room". They are all the same. The room is quite standard, as in other hotels in Egypt. Cleaning, of course, is lame, but it's not critical. The territory of the hotel is compact, well-groomed, a lot of greenery. There are several pools, one was heated. The hotel is not located in the bay and in the winter season it is quite windy and not very comfortable.

The hotel has one restaurant, the food does not shine with its variety, but everything is cooked quite tasty.

Breakfast - scrambled eggs, pancakes, yogurt, toast, sausages, cereals, vegetables, etc. For lunch - two types of soup, pasta, rice, potatoes (sometimes sweet, sometimes very salty), chicken, fish, goulash. For dinner - a brazier every other day (liver, minced meat sausages, chicken). Drinks - alcohol is just of very poor quality, they took it with them to duty free. Good only beer - from glass bottles, but poured into small disposable cups of 150 ml and one in hand. Good bar - just in the lobby. It is poured into glass, cola there from 2 liter bottles, and not from the apparatus.

The animation is unobtrusive. Children's animator Dasha perfectly entertains young guests. The beach is large enough, with a sandy gentle entrance to the sea, but the water near the coast is just icy. There is a long pantone and steps from it at the end of the live reef (there is a depth of up to 20 meters), and two steps along the pier (deep to the chest). Here we went swimming from the pier - the water is much warmer. Although it sounds kind of absurd).
On the left side of the beach there is Monkey diving center. It is better to buy excursions from them, and not from a hotel guide. ATVs are also cheaper on the beach. I'm attaching a photo with a price list and a phone number.

As a result - a fairly good hotel for a budget holiday. Tour for 6 days 2 + 1 cost 1.800 UAH. The only "minus" - very windy in winter.
