The overall impression of the hotel is good. Of course, this is not Hyatt and not another luxury hotel, but very worthy. Especially for such a price.
Hotel and territory.
The hotel is small and cozy. For those who like huge hotels, there is nothing to do there. Built in a circle, in the middle is a pool. There are construction sites on both sides of the hotel, but most of the rooms overlook the pool and part of the desert. There are not many people, it is quiet and comfortable, the staff remembers you immediately and forever. There are no problems with free sunbeds around the pool. The territory is green. Every day I treat the territory with some kind of muck from insects and flies (well, this is in all hotels). On the same street with hotels like Creative Mexicana Charm and Country Club. Opposite the hotel there is a small supermarket, you can always buy water (2-3 pounds) and the bare necessities.
Animation.

Present in the form of 3 very cute boys. In the morning there is a warm-up in the pool, then volleyball, then water aerobics, then water polo, belly dancing, etc. In the evenings, an amateur show is organized with dancing, funny scenes from the life of tourists, walking on glass. Once a week, a show comes from outside with Arabic dances, incl. with a dance with skirts. It's mesmerizing.
Beach.
Walking is not so far, but through the construction site, not interesting. The bus runs every hour from 9.00 to 18.00. except 11.00 and 14.00 The corals are very beautiful, the fish are wonderful, diving is present. Near the reef, yachts often stop with tourists to dive. THE ALL INCLUSIVE SYSTEM ON THE BEACH DOES NOT WORK! ! The beach is shared with two more hotels (Sol Melia and some other).
Food.
Breakfast is quite monotonous: boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, pancakes, buns, cheese, sausage, salads, sweets. Dinner is more varied, every day there is fish, chicken, beef. All food is not salty, not fried. For dinner, they always put a grill and oven near the pool and cook some meat in front of you, for example, kebab. A couple of times they gave squid.
Staff.
The service at the reception is beyond reproach. Always smiling and ready to help. Cleaning is present. True, my cleaner did all sorts of miracles from towels to me only if she didn’t leave money. : )))) In the end, when I met him by chance, he already put flowers for me every day, scattered the petals, etc. .
Tours.
To Luxor only by plane. $220 fly 45 minutes. I took excursions through Tez Tour, no complaints. The guides are good, they speak Russian well.
To cairo by bus. $60 Drive 5-6 hours in the desert. Past towns.
Cairo is an interesting city, the museum is wonderful.
Abu-Galum (underwater reserve) 60 c. u. First, 3 hours on a hard jeep, then 1.5 hours on camels..... It hurt below the back : )))) But it was very entertaining and interesting. On the way we stopped by the Bedouins for tea.
For all excursions, it is worth taking a hat and clothes with closed sleeves. On Abu Galum - comfortable shoes, fins, mask.
