So our 4th visit to Egypt. We chose for a long time because before there was only one criterion - this is a reef, but this time we had a child with us, we wanted good food, convenient entry into the water and water slides. The agency praised this hotel so much, that there is almost no doubt.
We arrived at the hotel at 5 pm, there were seven of us, all of us paid superiors. This implied a settlement closer to the sea, not in the last buildings where our people usually settle. Only after 2 hours we were settled in rooms, motivated by the fact that they were not ready yet, given that the check-in at 2 o'clock is just impudence. Well, that's okay, we survived, we were paid for a room for three adults, when we saw the third bed we felt bad, a small one with a failed mattress, we had to put a two-meter man there))) Fortunately, by some chance they gave friends a family room, in short it turned out that their keys they opened another neighboring room in which they were not going to accommodate anyone, so our godfather moved there, and we didn’t make a scandal. The rooms are tired, but for me it doesn’t really matter, but instead of a bath or shower they have a hole in the floor and with the wrong slope for draining, in short, all week we washed bone-deep in water, and naturally in slippers, well, for a room for 2 thousand dollars, this is already too much ((((The bathroom was normal only in the family room. And God forbid you take a hundred ndart, it's just a kapets in the most distant buildings there is such a stink of sewerage that your eyes water.
About food, we are not picky, there was enough food, but as for Egypt, it’s just abundance, meat and fish are always in stock, a la carte restaurants with delicious food, service is good, a couple of times they gave $ 5 tips, drinks were always quickly brought to us in the restaurant and were very kind.

A separate conversation of the excursion was traditionally taken by night moto safari, because it was not so hot and I liked it. The tour operator Pegasus always pleased with the service, this time we understood everything they had on such a stream that it turned into something reminiscent of an excursion, we were taken by a kid on a mikrik, not speaking not English, not Russian, brought to the base where we turned out to be 30 people, which is a lot for such an excursion, started starting ATVs, they were already so collapsed that they barely started, the gas was squeezed out so tightly on mine that I tore my whole arm to blood, while we traveled for a couple of hours, in short, we will never go on this excursion again, or we will go in a group of no more than 7 people. to yell something at us in their own language, we refused to go out, so he had to take us. In short, the Egyptians snickered a lot.
The reef, to be honest, is better, it took a long time to swim to see someone, from what they have not seen anywhere else, this is a big turtle and an octopus.
There is more than one entrance for children, the beach is large, a lot of free sun beds, you take towels without cards, but in reality I don’t think they are washed, they are not very fresh in the morning. I was pleased with the corner with a jacuzzi, for free and a really good back massage with water get. The slides for children are good, but our girl learned to swim and we could not pull her out of the sea, the slides were not particularly interested. There is a relax pool for those who want to lie in silence. Children are not allowed into it. There are a lot of bars, you can have a drink and a snack everywhere, but we didn’t have to spend all the time in the sea)) The result is this, this is the most ordinary Egyptian hotel, it cannot claim any elite. We will not go there again and will not recommend to our family.
