A beautiful large area of ​ ​ the hotel, which is located in the most beautiful bay of the Sharm El Sheikh resort with an amazing underwater world of fish and corals. The location of the island of Tirana opposite the bay protects the bay from the waves and you can swim in the sea even on those days when it is not possible in neighboring bays. Soho Square is located near the hotel - a place where you can take a walk in the evening after dinner, admire and listen to singing fountains, sing karaoke for free, buy souvenirs, go ice skating (alas, this is already paid). Nearby hotels have a stable and a golf course - subject to availability wishes and money, you can also use them. The hotel has a playground.
For the hotel itself:
Settlement - there are small problems here. Slavic brothers are immediately trying to settle in the far part of the hotel or without a balcony and terrace (you can either officially pay $ 20 for every day or try to give baksheesh at the reception or quarrel at the reception). Who likes what, but we personally visited the rooms very rarely. Rooms are average - no frills or complaints. Cleaning in the rooms - whoever is lucky with the cleaner. Sometimes a baksheesh in the form of $ 1 will not help, and sometimes they clean it up perfectly without it. And so everything is standard-medium worn furniture, TV, refrigerator, bathroom, safe, air conditioner, hair dryer (weak, not for long hair) - everything works or in the presence of problems, it is eliminated very quickly by calling the reception.

The beach is beautiful, large, if the hotel is fully occupied there may be a problem with a sunbed at 10-11 am (baksheesh at $ 1 room service or come to the beach early), 2 pantones, slippers are not required (they still don’t allow walking on corals)
Pools - 4 - all cleaned, in one bar, 2 slides, aqua aerobics, children's slide.
Animation is average, they don’t have excitement, fun, and since everywhere there is water volleyball, football, aerobics, yoga, aqua aerobics, kids club, darts, belly dance, evening shows and competitions, club dance, squash.
Food is good, varied, lots of seafood, beef, chicken, lamb, pancakes, omelettes, hot sandwiches, pasta, fish, fruits, tasting pastries and puree soups, juices, ice cream. Even the a la carte restaurants were pleasantly surprised by their cuisine. There are no special queues in the main restaurant (2-3 people and then for those dishes that are prepared in front of you). The waiters try their best to serve you - cutlery, napkins, drinks. On the beach there was a queue only for beer (by the way, very much even nothing). booze, like everywhere else in Egypt, you can drink, but ours is still better. The Victoria bar even has imported drinks, but the choice is not so great. There is a hookah. Sauna. Massage. And many more different services.
Renome - was 2 times in Turkey and 3 times in Egypt (not counting the last one) and always chose a good hotel 5 - I liked this hotel, I can advise it to my friends.
