To begin with, we were traveling in 4 * from the Turtess company, and in Egypt we were already met by TUI, saying that Turtess no longer works in Egypt, asking if there is such a hotel, they said that there is, but it is 3 * as it turned out in the distance on the very facade and the reception of the hotel and there were no hints of some kind of stardom, well, God bless him, if only the rest was good))))
Hotel, 23 years old without any hint of reconstruction or renovation;
Compact, not large, very green, 1 building is white, reminiscent of USSR holiday homes in Bulgaria, and closer to the beach is a bungalow, where we were settled without any payments and hints of baksheesh, although we originally purchased the "Standard", our room in the bungalow was good 1107, although small for 3 adults, but with our friends, and we were traveling with 7 people, room 1109 was with an air conditioner that was not working for cooling (for all 15 days it was never fixed, although the phrase "tou moro" sounded with a smile and disposed that it would be fixed sometime, and room 1108 was with terrible rotten furniture of light green color, but it’s good that at least the air conditioner worked well, for the whole time of our stay in the hall the air conditioner did not work, but they convinced that once it will be repaired, so the only public place where the air conditioner worked was only a restaurant, but everything I wrote above did not spoil the general atmosphere of the rest at all, very cultured and polite staff, led by the administrator Iwona from Poland, created only positive emotions on vacation, but that's just one BUT! Mosquitoes and huge cockroaches!!! ! There are an infernal number of them everywhere in the hall, the room, by the pool on the beach, if you have not stocked up on funds in advance, all kapets !! ! The hotel does not carry out any measures to destroy them, although with the help of Ivona we got a “raid” balloon and saved ourselves, well, a worker with a smoke lamp ran through the territory only 2 times, but there was no effect, the wind blew everything out in a second. There is no free Wi-Fi and never will be, the owner's greed is unbeatable)))))

Beach;
An excellent beach, sand, small islands of corals, some beautiful fish, well, on the other side of the pier, where pleasure yachts moor, beautiful big turtles 2-3 persons and a huge moray eel with cubs under the pier, a little scarecrow on the beach surfers rushing overhead, but also to you can get used to it and get used to it
Tours;
We didn’t take excursions at fabulous prices from the guide, on the beach we met meat Mahmud (Misha) who organized for us for half the price compared to the guide a chic trip Dendera-Luxor-Valley of the Kings-Karnak, and quad bikes (took two times I really liked the organization) on Compared with the official, everything was better organized, there is experience.
shopping;
From the main street to the very backyards of SHAMS, there are shopping arcades where you can buy everything from fruits to gold with diamonds, the prices are adequate, we went from Misha to Hurghada for free at the Sheraton, there is something to compare
Despite the fact that the rest was enough! I can't recommend this hotel! Since I think that for those that we paid it was possible to buy something more decent in Sharm el-Sheikh, but in order to understand this it was necessary to visit Safaga)))
