They rested as a couple. The check-in was early, they left a voucher, passports, a chocolate bar at the reception, they put on bracelets, treated us to a cocktail and sent us to breakfast. Settling said only after two.
Breakfast was held in a fairly clean, pleasant restaurant. There is a small queue for scrambled eggs (on the 3rd-4th day it was 3 times longer! ). The choice of dishes is not large, but everything is delicious. After breakfast they came to ask for the room, they said no, wait for 14-00. The first time, when they decided not to give money, given that they were without children and the hotel was renovated, it didn’t matter where they settled.
Changed clothes in some utility room and went to explore the territory. The shuttle is big, took me to the sea in two minutes. The hotel is rather the third line (in front of us was the Albatross and the first line Sunrise). Arriving at the sea, it was the biggest disappointment - there was a low tide and 8 meters is a nondescript coral crust. The beach is very large (some sections of the beach are 16+, which made me happy, the children didn’t run or scream). Pierce alone. Very short (compared to neighboring hotels), but from time to time there were a lot of people on it (and this is considering that the first line of the hotel has not yet opened). The reef is not so "best" (as many reviews say). Although they brought divers and sailed yachts. Along the beach, which I liked, there is a promenade, you could walk through the territory of many hotels (in Sunrise, they really made sure that it was the most windless place. In other hotels, it just demolished and the piers were oh so long).

There is a bar on the beach. There are snacks. I really liked the pizzas. Drinks are local. Bottled beer.
After dinner, we were seated around 2:30 pm. Room 2139, second floor, the windows overlooked a quiet cozy place. The room is clean, beautiful, it is clear that after the renovation. Everything worked. Didn't like that there were two beds. In the passports - one surname, it is not difficult to guess that the spouses. She expressed her dissatisfaction with the person who brought the suitcase. She asked to move the beds, he made a puzzled look, said wait, we'll decide everything and ran away. They thought that they would change either the room or the bed, but alas, he was gone. They moved it themselves (but the bed was constantly moving apart).
Room cleaning (as it turned out later) is the weakest point of the hotel, it boiled down only to making the bed (although they left money). Cosmetics were not replenished, the floors were not washed and it seems that they did not sweep.
There was a minibar, replenished once.
The food is good. There was always meat (beef, chicken, turkey), fish, crabs three times, two types of soup, a very large selection of fruits (bananas, oranges, apples, dates, plums, guava, persimmon, melon), all kinds of sweets. The grill was not only in the evening, but also in the afternoon.
As the hotel filled up (we arrived, it was 60 percent occupancy), it was increasingly difficult to find a place in a restaurant, on sunbeds near the pool...
The hotel area is not big, but quite cozy.
I did not like the location of the hotel - far from the Old Town, Naama, Soho. Taxi only.
There was a late check out from the hotel. They asked the room to be handed over at 12-00, the bracelets were not cut off, they used everything until the evening.
Animation was observed only in the evening. During the day, silence, calmness, nothing...
The amphitheater is the smallest one that has only been seen in hotels.
In general, the holiday was a success. The main attitude. The question would be returned to the hotel - rather no than yes (although the price of the issue).
