We arrived at the hotel at 6 in the morning, we and several other couples were asked to pay $ 20 for being settled at 11.00, and not at 14.00 and in a good room, although I’m more than sure that they could have settled right away, and not marinated us in 5 o'clock in the lobby.... And. . . Let's go! They settled in a room on the 6th floor - standard by Egyptian standards, visually everything is fine, a refrigerator (it was rumored that this is a rarity in this hotel), an old TV and two separate beds with disgusting pillows and linen not the first freshness, but the view from the room is gorgeous. Later, as it turned out, the air conditioner was not working, half of the lamps in the room were not lit, and the toilet tank was leaking, flooding the entire bath. I went to the reception to call a plumber - the local bellhop was waiting, and he was offended to the point of snot that they didn’t approach him, muttered that in which case he should be approached. But the attitude is as if they are doing you a favor by giving you toilet paper (and you need to get it, like in a battle) and throwing your garbage away. To be cleaned in the room, you must also look for it on the floor, and ask. He appoints a cleaning time - and that's it. Until you pull it by the collar, nothing will happen. He has no room keys, so instead of lying on the beach, you have to wait for this lazy body, as well as until it cleans the room. For a week I removed it once, my nerves were not enough for more.
Canteen - feeding at the level of a standard "troika". There is no choice at all. Breakfast is "groundhog day" - stale pastries, fried eggs, falafel, beans, potato cheese / cheese / sausage and pancakes on the water. There is nothing else to eat, and so every day. And one more thing - take your coffee with you, because what they pour there is slop. They pour a little bit of coffee into a huge jug of boiling water, and IT'S stupidly transparent. The entire holiday drank only tea. At the bar there is a Deshman horn-shaped coffee maker, the price of which is UAH 700, for a cup of such "coffee" you will have to pay $ 2. For the rest of the food - everything is standard. You won't go hungry, but don't expect frills either. In the evening, barbecue, cakes and mini pizzas are prepared. There is beef, chicken and fish. On the beach, you can grab a hamburger and fries for lunch if you don't feel like going to the canteen. And, I almost forgot - the dining room is very dead and a flock of sparrows lives there, with which it is all crap. And, of course, they eat wherever they can eat - from racks, from containers at distribution, from guests' plates - they are not afraid of people, they swoop in in a flock and devour. It's the same story outside. And before that, the staff does not care! So I do not advise you to leave plates of food unattended.
Bars - only give two small glasses per person. Beer is poured into half a glass of foam. You ask for more - he presses or begs for money, periodically rude in Arabic. They didn’t react, immediately defiantly stood at the end of the queue and poured two more, then poured into their container, since the bar is not on the beach, but on top, and you have to run back and forth, which is very tiring. Beer on the beach is always warm. Everything is better at the Piano Bar.

The beach is good, there was enough space. Specially settled on the second level, so as not to lie like sprats. The beach is being removed. The pantone is short and comfortable. The reef is beautiful.
In general, what can I say - a hotel with great potential, but brought "to the handle. " Nature partially compensates for the shortcomings of the hotel, but not to such an extent as to come here again. For this price, you can choose a lot more interesting options. This is by far my worst experience in Egypt.
