It doesn’t pull on the top five, BUT....who needs what from a vacation - they chose a hotel with a beautiful reef and were not mistaken. Reef is great!!!
From the pontoon (! ) we observed moray eels, blue stingrays, lionfish in general in crowds, hedgehogs and many many other fish of all kinds. Divers expanse. Beginners/wishers are hunted right on the pontoon, offering happiness after the first free dive. A day later it was windy, which spoiled the rest a little (but where Dennessy is winter), we still sunbathed and swam with pleasure every day from 9 am to 2 pm. Water in the sea 23.5-24 degrees. The territory is large, well-groomed, dohrena pools and cacti. The contingent of tourists is Russian and Italian in half, the Swiss were seen in a small number, the wife once heard the Poles. Tagil, despite the abundance of our people, was hardly observed. There was also no discrimination of tourists on a national basis (I emphasize because in the reviews it seemed to someone that they were not served as well as Italians....IMHO it is much more important here who gave the dollar)))) . . but what can you do, yourself the Bedouins were taught)). At the reception, our regular people were indignant and demanded something, I did not delve into it. We have come to rest.
Food. The main restaurant was closed, its functions were performed by the Italian. Were in it once for breakfast, nothing so..... mediocre....and a queue at the entrance. no longer went there (although the queue was regularly observed). We went closer to the sea to the Grill. Feeding may not be varied enough, but everything is enough and tasty. And there were never any queues. Constantly grilled chicken, twice there were grilled crabs, once grilled octopus, squid, lamb, regularly beef steak and cutlets, fish (all grilled). In addition to entom for dinner in the tandoor on skewers, chicken, fish. Naturally pasta, pizza. Always rice, potatoes, vegetables. The salads are weak, the fruits are practically at zero (always only dates, persimmons and guava - and those varieties that lie longer, i. e. not the most delicious, sometimes bananas, oranges, tangerines, apples.......it turned out kind of like assortment..... current not all at the same time, but in turn). As for sweets, three or five cakes are also weak, and almost always the same ones. but nevertheless I repeat - everything is enough and tasty. On the beach there is a cafe - shawarma, hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, pizza, beer, water, yupi. Ice cream for a fee...... So, we swam, ate, went on.

Internet. Near the reception in the bar WI-FI is free, periodically freezes, but quite tolerable for Egypt. The Internet is wired in the room and it seems like a paid one. But since we had to be constantly connected to the Internet and there was simply nowhere to plug the cable, we had to make a sortie outside the hotel and buy a microsim card from the local operator etisalat. 10-15 minutes at a brisk pace and you get to the Il Mercato shopping street, there is almost everything here, even McDonald's. A 6GB package at 3Mb/s costs £.150 ($25), you need a passport. There are cheaper packages, but the speed is much lower. 6GB for a week is a lot, we even watched TV - the speed allows - and still we didn’t even use half. On the way we were tempted by mangoes and strawberries. Fragrant, tasty and almost free.
The room was cleaned well, the swans were woven, the dollar was taken away))). The room is simple (as for 5 stars), nothing bad, everything worked. Mosquitoes were seen on the street once. Evil bastards...... well, that's only once.
SPA. Marina walks along the beach and sells massages quite successfully. Well done aunt. Because sho sells them by appointment a couple of days in advance. But only once. The second one doesn't even fit. Looks like he knows exactly where to send. In short, there is no spa. To put it mildly.
Animation. Why it is needed is not entirely clear, but IS. In Russian and Italian, and sometimes at the same time. Didn't bother us. That is good.
In general, the holiday was a success. Red Sea, pontoon reef, fish - super.
