For those who are in a hurry to make a decision: it’s quite possible to go, there is no rudeness, food without heartburn, the territory is large and quite diverse, there is almost no our bull. The hotel is not a party hotel.
In principle, the rest arranged for me. There are a few "buts", but I don't think it affected the rest.
So. The staff is not rude, as is often the case in Egypt, without greasiness, but they are still crooks. They changed the batteries in my safe after 4 rings. When buying a card to pay for Internet access, they tried to deceive me several times in a row: either the price was $ 20 per hour instead of 12, or the card was issued not for an hour, but for 30 minutes for the same price. wi-fi does not work and as I understand it, it's a long time because it was raining. I do not understand what relationship the radioezer has with the precipitation that took place 2 weeks ago.

The renovation in my family suite was in the style of "Olympiad-80". This is how the hotels built for the Olympics now look like. But, we must pay tribute, clean, without insects and other living creatures. Mosquitoes are poisoned every day.
There can be no issues with nutrition. This is clear. Pasta, lasagna, octopus, lamb on a spit, grilled fish, pancakes...... Everything is fine. There are 3 all-inclusive restaurants. Therefore, you can often change places so as not to get bored.
The drinks. THE ONLY PROBLEM OF THE HOTEL is the water. Upon check-in, the room costs 1.5 liters of water and that's it. Can either be poured in canteens or in bars from a cooler. Or buy in a store opposite the hotel. Just take a bottle of water nowhere. Weird. Not annoying, but strange. It's just water. Beer is draft and canned, in my opinion 2 grades. One is a little denser and with bitterness, the second (stella seems to be) quite light. quite drinkable. Strong alcohol only tasted, did not drink. The nonsense is fabulous. BUT. The wife learned how to get the substance coctail with tequila from the bartender, if mixed, it is quite possible to use.
The audience is mostly Italian and English. More Poles and we are Slavs. When I was especially no one behaved like a pig, did not yell and did not get drunk.
Shops at the hotel are even a little cheaper than on the street, this is my opinion, but I'm not a fan of wandering around the third world in search of a T-shirt for $ 2, therefore, it can be even cheaper somewhere else. Although my personal opinion: in this country, apart from water and cigarettes, there is nothing to buy.

What I do not recommend: go to a la carte restaurants. My wife and I went to celebrate her birthday....Initially, the staff wonders why, in principle, someone came there. Then they ran to look for a cook, then a group of cooks heatedly argued about who would cook it. Then the one who lost the bet reads the recipes on the wall of the kitchen. . . and after 40 minutes the salads arrive. Separately, I note that these words are not good for salads. For example, an Italian sea salad is made from a mixture of canned tuna and crab sticks on a bed of Beijing cabbage. And the Italian rural salad is a straw of about 15 centimeters each of cucumber, carrot and bell pepper on the same pillow of Chinese cabbage. Alcohol is carried from the bar at the reception - a very long time. The edges of the cocktail glasses are covered not with sugar, as usual, but for some reason with salt, which naturally gets into the drink. and finally, you have to wait half an hour for the bill, because two people write it out, they count something for a long time and argue. Basically, we ran away from there. The bill did not match the pleasure received. And, most importantly, no one served a cake from the hotel. Although I'm lying, I filed. The guy who cleans the room brought a plate of cake to the room at 22:00. Just in time.
Spa - a sequence of hastily performed, not very high-quality procedures. Sit to relax, nowhere to relax, everything is galloping. I came to the sauna for 6 euros an hour. I saw that the aborigine was pouring water on the stones, asked where to rest between visits, received a negative answer and went to the room. Well, I can’t sit out an hour in the steam room. My wife and daughter bought for 60 euros, what is called a program, some kind of peeling, body wrap, steam room, sauna, masks. They say the quality is so-so.
But, I repeat, all the shortcomings encountered are garbage that does not affect the quality of the rest.
Very tiring dialogues like: how are you, good, why not great? Because you were born. The answer is not understood, but accepted. Do you smoke oil? Karoshiy, cheap. Do you need papyrus, cheap real? Come see the souvenirs. Dear, I want to write advertising in Russian, help....How it all zapalbivaet, just like flies. It is simply impossible to walk quietly. But it has nothing to do with the hotel.
Separately, I want to note the team of diving instructors from the hotel. Not snickering, friendly quite contact guys. They don't care about money, safety comes first. There are trial dives in the pool, they can organize a dive from a pontoon near the hotel or on reefs in the open sea. Fast, attentive, safe. Be sure to try. Russian-speaking instructor Andrey.
