Arriving at the hotel at 14.00, we were immediately offered to pay 5 Euro per person per day for a room with a sea view. All Russian-speaking tourists refused and we, as "specially important persons", were settled on the very edge of the hotel with a view of the fence and buildings, the road and the desert.
After settling in, we went to look around. On the territory, three pools are lined with bizzaz tiles that have fallen off by 50 percent (although it is written that the hotel is only 3 years old), and at the bottom of a pile of sand, we thought that they had applied it in a day, but the same picture at seven o'clock in the morning.
Sea …………. . it's something incredible, but to this incredible 2 km go along the pontoon, shallow knee-deep. There are two slopes on a 6-7 km pontoon, and the hotel is designed for ≈.500 people (you can imagine the queue and the number of people on the pontoon yourself). Pleased with the only thing that there is a stunning coral reef with many stunning inhabitants of the underwater world.

We bought from the guide an excursion to Cairo and a trip on a glass bottom boat. According to him, a trip to Cairo takes 8 hours one way, and the whole tour is 22 hours. In fact, the one-way trip took us 11 hours, and the entire tour was 28 hours, of which 4 hours were “walking”, in total we spent 24 hours on the bus. After the trip, I approached him with a question, why is he giving false information? To which he replied that this could not be, and said “to my face” that I was deceiving. Hearing about this, the Russian-speaking tourist refused to go to Cairo, after which I became enemy No. 1 of the guide Misha. We liked the second tour better.
This hotel is designed more for Italians and Germans, so in Russian, apart from “hello”, “how are you”, “you are beautiful”, “I love you”, they don’t know anything (or pretend to). At the bar near the pool, Russian-speaking tourists “like white people” are served all drinks in disposable dishes. When asked why, they answered that the glasses were over. A minute later, an Italian approached the bar and the glasses magically “started”. Like this.
So I won’t go to this hotel anymore, and it doesn’t pull on 5 *****.
