Rested with family. Arrived in the morning, settled by 12. They offered a snack tea / juice and croissants. The hotel is kept clean. Large, green territory, successful architecture of the buildings, no one interferes with anyone, there is plenty of space for everyone on the territory. Briefly...
From the pros:
+ The beach and its length, a good entry into the sea (in the shallows). It is unlikely that an adult will be able to swim, but with children it is excellent. Although there are dead old corals, it is better to wear coral slippers. But, I repeat, if you don’t have them, then it’s quite possible to do without.
+ Live reef. Lots of different fish, stingrays. Small stingrays sometimes swim up to the shore). There are surgeon fish, be careful.

+ In the main restaurant Sentido, the food is very good. For breakfast, 3 types of fresh juice (strawberry, guava, orange), honey in combs, and everything else ...croissants, omelettes, cold cuts, cheeses, everything is of high quality. Lunch is ok, standard...Soups, meat, side dishes, etc. For dinner every day - meat, kebabs, fish, vegetables - on the grill.
Always fresh vegetables, salads, fruits. A variety of fruits pleased (mango, figs, dates, banana, apples, grapes, plums ...maybe I forgot something else ... ).
Coffee beans, packaged juice. Ice cream for dinner only. Before our departure, they dragged a "pouring" of Nescafe instant coffee to the bar. Including if you don’t drink like that, like us, then ask the bartender to make you grain on a normal coffee machine, they have it.
Chips and nuts were available at the reception bar.

Since sentido guests can use the restaurants and the oasis beach reef, we once went to dinner and to them. In terms of "streaming" food, +/- similar, but inferior to Sentido. And in terms of atmosphere - "bazaar station ((" ...The ceilings are low, noise, roar, hustle, there is nowhere to push through with plates.
+ a separate mini-corner (it’s hard to call it a bar) with some drinks on the beach for Sentido guests.
+ a good water park, there were plenty of places (sunbeds) for everyone.
+ smart hotel staff. Everyone is positive and friendly!
If there are requests or questions - they solve everything, they help.
+ many pools, which is very good. well.
+ room cleaning every 3 days (allegedly due to the corona pandemic), but cleaned well
+ there is a tea set in the room, bottled water is replenished during cleaning, i. e. once every 3 days. But in any bar throughout the hotel you can take water without any problems.
There was a mini bar in the room, but no beer. Just sprite, cola, juice.
Bathrobe, slippers.
Now for the cons:

- Tired room fund. In our room, the second leaf of the balcony door did not open normally, they invited the workers, they fixed it, but after a while it broke again. They didn't call again. The drain in the shower is just a hole (without a normal grate or bottom valve. Since it is not very small, you had to constantly be on the alert so as not to fall through with your foot. They showed the repairmen, but judging by their reaction, this is the norm and no one does anything was going to.
Well, we weren’t going to waste time running around and solving this issue, because we just scored and continued to rest).
- bus to the beach. Pts it's good that he is, BUT he is on a diesel engine and terrible exhaust gases! (( Guys, well, the 21st century is in the yard, replace it, finally, with an electric one !!!
Runs at intervals of approximately 7-10 minutes all day. Walking distance from the reception to the beach 10-12 minutes +/-. Quite normal.
- another big minus for cafes in the water park and on the beach. In the water park, a snack works just a couple of hours, there is 1 chef and he makes 2 small pizzas, and there are 10-15 people in line of children and adults ...and those unfortunate couple of pieces fly away instantly and the line goes on. Why can't you put 2 cooks or more hours to work. And no burgers, no fries. It really pissed me off, because there is essentially no snack in this hotel! And when traveling with children, this is important. The same trouble on the beach . . Eternal queue . . Only here it is 2 times larger ..
And again they bake a couple of small pizzas, let 2-3 people go and the rest wait for 20-30 minutes further ...But on the beach, in addition to pizza, you could even take burgers with potatoes (if you have time))).
- there are no alcoholic drinks from the word at all, beer is generally water with water.
- on the beach there was not enough space for everyone always and everywhere, so you had to come early, after 9 there are no places at all.
In general, we had a good rest, because we try to look for the positive in everything, and as for Egypt, the food in the main restaurant is very good, but the second time I would definitely not go here.

Have a good holiday everyone!
