This is a significant case when 5 * do not reflect the quality and mean absolutely nothing.

There you will find:
- burnt lawns throughout the territory and dead exteriors
- absolutely disgusting quality repairs in rooms and common buildings
- tasteless and monotonous food with an almost complete absence of seafood (except for the harmful and cheap pangasius fish, which is not found in the Red Sea at all)
- life-threatening and mentally dangerous alcohol, the smell of which is impossible to forget
- powder colored liquids, among other things, lowering the potency (based on the composition)
- disgusting, intrusive and useless staff
- pointlessly planned area with no sun protection
- non-working phone, sticking balcony doors and falling off furniture covers
- useless pantone with a fence and "do not jump" signs (why did you come to the hotel to have fun? )
- cleaning every other time without replenishment of water / shampoos / gels

- entrance to the room only with a key (does not work with a plastic card)
- periodic lack of water pressure so that the shower cannot be turned on in principle and water flows only from the tap (at least on the 3rd floor)

Before the trip, I saw some reviews hinting at "tired hotel", but there is an incredible difference between "tired" and "abandoned" condition.
Each element of any furniture is worn, broken or worn out. The balcony grille and the table/chairs on the balcony are rusted long ago and just stain towels and clothes in an attempt to dry. All interior / exterior decoration was initially disgustingly done, and now it is generally sprinkled. Everything is loose, from the barely standing floor lamp to the toilet door handle.
The peculiarity of the hotel is that it has two restaurants in parallel, in one of which they give complete muck and coffee from the pan (florel - adults with children), and in the second - more normal food and coffee at least from a Nescafe type machine (ivory - only for adults) . Well, the most epic of all this division - in the second with a bang they let all children, at least 14 years old + at least 4 years old +. Why the hell such a situation with different quality of food even exists on the planet remains a mystery to me.

Animation is normal, we have not found for 9 days. “Yoga classes” for 3 people with dull music, I don’t particularly consider animation. Once, out of the corner of our eye, we looked at the evening animation, where, in all seriousness, 4 adults invited us animators at the entrance to the dining room. There was some kind of wild movement with children, such that if I filmed it, turned it on at home and relatives came into the room - I would have to abruptly turn on porn simply because it would be easier to explain.
And yes, 3 or 4 times they compulsively tried to sell us a "foam party" for $ 7, which is enough to go to Naama Bay, take a couple of longs and sing karaoke.


There is only one strange thing about all this - the hotel is almost 100% full, and its rating on booking / tripadvisor / tophotels somehow went over 6 / 10.

Therefore, the hotel could shoot a guide “how to have a hefty territory on the Red Sea and screw everything up” - but, fortunately, we will not come there again.
