We were brought to the hotel at half past seven in the evening, settled immediately. We were three adults. They gave me room 650. The room is big, but dead. The guy who brought us to the typewriter said that this is a family room. Three identical single beds. Old TV. Floor lamp not working. There is no overhead light at all. There are only nightlights. In the minibar - 3 bottles of water 0.6 each. Updated every day. The bed is basically okay. Not particularly white, but not a gray rag, as they wrote. Towels - normal, quite white and fluffy. One large and one small per person. Foot towel - one for all. The mattresses are comfortable. Blankets are funny. Cotton wool has gone astray, but absolutely symmetrically, evenly distributed in lumps throughout the blanket. Air conditioning worked fine, buzzed, but not much. The bathroom has a full-length mirror. The water in the shower did not drain well. The doors were jammed. From bath accessories - shower gel, shampoo and body lotion in tubes. One little sponge for all. And there were enough tubes and toilet paper. The location of the room turned out to be quite successful - both the restaurant and the beach are about the same, and very quiet. The area is quite large and confusing. The bed was changed once for sure, I had blood spots - I killed a mosquito in a dream. Or maybe they just moved to the next bed : )))))
They lived on the first floor, instead of a balcony - a kind of veranda on a hill. On it is a funny little aluminum table with three aluminum chairs. Bathing suits were dried on them. They didn't steal it. Only passports were left in the safe, and they carried money, phones and a tablet with them. We didn't give them the slightest chance to steal from us.
Beach towels are issued in several places from 8.00. Towels are normal, huge and bright blue. Obviously new. But not all, there are also washed out ones. On the first day, we got good ones, we didn’t hand them over, but dried them on the balcony.

There are a lot of sunbeds on the beach, but a lot of sold and broken ones. So, it’s still better to borrow in advance, which everyone did. The bar on the beach pours alcohol from 11.00. The beer is cold, but in small glasses, 150 grams. Queues accumulate only when the keg is opened and when the keg runs out. And it all happened rather quickly. One pours, the other dispenses. At the relax pool, the bar is much cooler, there are an order of magnitude fewer people, and it works from 10. There are ice and lime and straws. There is juice in tetra packs - mango and guava. Delicious. There is tomato juice in 100-gram iron jars. We didn't get to try it. Children under 15 years of age are not allowed in the relaxation pool.
There is also a bar on the main pool and at the reception, in the main restaurant. And also in the a la carte restaurant where we went to have lunch. From 12 to 15 you can go there for free an unlimited number of times. For lunch in the main restaurant, we never went (maybe in vain). We were quite satisfied with the range of this restaurant. But it was possible not to change clothes, but only to put on a pareo. And a great view of the sea! Alcohol is quite edible. In my opinion, he has become better in the 5 years that I have not been to Egypt.
The hotel has 2 pontoons and a beautiful reef.
There is enough food in the hotel, not very tasty, but quite edible. I am indifferent to meat, but chicken and beef were constantly. And in general there is a lot of things. Fish - mainly pangasius (sea tongue). Sometimes tuna, sometimes mackerel, sometimes sardine. Almost every day for dinner, something was fried on the grill. There have always been sliced ​ ​ u200bu200bfruits, but in order to snatch whole ones, you need to try. Melons, pomegranates, incomprehensible (but no less tasty) Egyptian citrus fruits, apples, grapes were noticed. I saw a whole pineapple, but never saw a sliced ​ ​ one. And there was no guava at all : (((
On the beach you can eat French fries, hamburgers and hot dogs. It seems from 15 to 17 at the main pool they give free ice cream. There is also a fee. As for snacks in the evening, I won’t say, I didn’t live up to that time. Therefore, I have no idea where the amphitheater is located in the hotel. But he definitely is, and every day the animators invited to the next show, as well as, then to the casino, then to the disco in Naama. But we have our own entertainment.
In general, you can live in a hotel if you are not lazy, get up early, clearly know where and what is. And, of course, the price of the hotel suits you.

Yes, I completely forgot. Soho Square is a stone's throw from the hotel and has free Wi-Fi. It is chargeable at the hotel. Although people said that they catch in the rooms. I didn't catch it in ours. In the a la carte restaurant, the Wi-Fi of the neighboring Savoy was caught, but required a password. In Soho, I found it by taking the escalator up to the landing next to the elevator. Perhaps it is in other places, but I caught it only here and was quite decent speed - you can chat on Skype and Viber.
