So I'll be the first to comment.
I'll start from the beginning)))) We flew with Anex and Yuteir, the flight there was delayed for 8 hours. We were brought to the hotel at 3.30 at night, settled quickly, the room was EXECUTIVE SUITE, they gave a corner room on the second floor, one window overlooked the pool with slides, the second on the wall of the neighboring room, but this did not overshadow the rest. Although if someone goes to bed early, then the evening animation by the pool can really interfere, as the music played until late. But that's me, by the way. The room was two-room, spacious enough, but the shower and toilet are placed in such a way that you will have to sit sideways on the toilet, there really is somehow thoughtlessly little space between the shower and the toilet. The room had a TV, refrigerator, bed, tables, no tea/tea/coffee/balcony. But upon check-in, we were given a poorly cleaned room, the bed was made, but not changed, there were black hairs on the sheets, and on the floor too. At 4 in the morning, I no longer asked to change the bed, we spent the night already, then they cleaned it perfectly, so for the first time it says goodbye))))
Nutrition. The choice of food was large, but rather monotonous, every morning was the same, lunch and dinner changed, but not much. We went to a la carte restaurants, however, I do not advise, mostly restaurants had a larger choice. Everything was fresh, hot, no complaints about the food. As always in Egypt, pastries are at their best, from fruits - apples, pears, melon, grapes, dates, grapefruit, everything is cut into pieces.

Binge. Like everything else in Egypt)))) In reality, you can only drink something transparent and preferably in its pure form. I'm scared to imagine what the dyes in colored cocktails are made of. But people drank
Service. He was on top. They cleaned perfectly (well, except for the hair on the bed on the day of check-in))), though I left 1 dollar each time, but I think they would have cleaned well even without a dollar. All the staff are very friendly, they constantly wash / clean / clean / wipe something, etc. They answered all questions quickly and with a smile, although in principle we had no problems with anything or anyone. The hotel is new, so far this is a plus, but I think, over time, of course, it will "kill" and will not be as attractive as it is now, when everything is still new in the hotel.
Animation. Well done! Although there were only 4 of them - Fox, Bazooka, Christina and Veronica, but they are so smart and lighters that they simply cannot be expressed in words. There were not very many people in the hotel and many were so hard to get up that I can’t imagine with what titanic efforts the guys created a good mood for everyone. Big hello to them!!!
Beach. Amazing underwater world. Third time in Egypt and in Rehan the most beautiful underwater world. There is only entry from the shore, where there is a pontoon in the photo, this is the pontoon of the neighboring hotel, on which vacationers from Rehana are not allowed, that is, they can walk along the shore, but they scold them to swim from the pontoon. Be careful, the corals grow very close to the shore and from 10 am until lunch the sea leaves somewhere and you can easily get hurt on the corals (as I did several times)))

Territory. This item was the hardest one for me to evaluate. Territory rather disliked than liked. It is very peculiar, as they wrote here that the hotel was not built, but apartments were bought out and rooms and apartments were made from them, so it is more likely to be. In reality, there is no fence around the hotel, that is, it is like a mini-town, where there are separate houses with rooms, a separate reception with a restaurant on the second floor, as if separately, there is a large pool with slides across the road. Previously, where I was, the pool was always on the way to the beach, which made it possible to go from the beach to the pool, I immediately had to choose either to the beach or to the pool. As a result, we were in the pool only twice, all the time on the beach, but this is rather a plus))) This is probably an urban-type hotel. That is, you sort of get out of your room (apartment) and walk along the street, where there are shops, cafes, yachts along the promenade and get to the beach. Well, or something like that. It is difficult to explain, it all depends on the perception of each individual person, but it was I who did not like this concept of construction. By the way, there was still little greenery... Just buildings and that's it.
The port area is small and you can walk around everything in a maximum of 20 minutes. In principle, there is nowhere to go in particular in the evening. Excursions are few and all of them are quite expensive. Here, in fact, there is only one entertainment - the sea!
Let me summarize. We liked everything except the construction of the hotel. The port itself is beautiful, the yachts are cool. Good service, kind staff. Corals, fish - this is what I would come here again for. This resort is just developing, there is room to grow, it’s just a pity that many people walk / break corals, feed fish... The beauty of the port of Ghalib and Marsa Alam can still be seen, but I think in 5-10 years it will be worse here, first queue for tourists.
If you have any questions, ask - I will answer.
P. S. I also forgot to write that I personally heard the conversation on the beach, the woman said that her phone was stolen in her room, she went with a guide to sort it out, and she said that a phone was also stolen from one of the Germans. We haven't lost anything, but, as it turned out, there were precedents.
