In short, for those who travel to this hotel, so that they know what to be prepared for. Were in triples and quadruples in Hurghada, and in Marsa Alam, and in El Gouna, so there is something to compare:
1) Location. Near Naama Bay, shops, cafes. The beach is far. Ride only by bus, which leaves 3-4 times a day. You also need to walk 15 minutes to the embankment with other people's beaches, we passed without problems, no one kicked us out.
2) Territory: practically absent. The hotel has begun to expand, so if you get a view from the windows of construction debris, do not be surprised. Two swimming pools, one heated - next to it you need to take sun loungers at 7 am. After breakfast everything is already taken.

3) Hotel. The receptionist immediately says that you are in a "hole" and not in 4 stars. Tiny, not intended for evening gatherings, only a stand. The rooms are old, in where we were settled all three doors were broken - the entrance, the bathroom and the balcony))). They gave 40 bucks to exchange the standard for supposedly "luxury", and this at least avoided problems with hot water.
4) Insects. In January there were a bunch of mosquitoes and a bunch of flies. They scare them away with smokers, but it's all useless. In winter, bring fumigators.
5) Staff. Typical Arabic service. Treat Russians like shit. Russians in retaliation begin to behave even worse. This is such a vicious circle. Although the same foreigners behave no better, they also thump, yell and do not get out of the bar in the evening. First of all, in the dining room they approach the Italians and the British. A special feature of the waiters: if you ask for water, they will bring it in bottles, and the glasses will be "forgotten". Sit and drink from your throat))) Cleaning was every other time, even though they left their tugriks on the table.
6) Food. The usual buffet as in all local hotels. Lots of meat, vegetables, fish every day. Boiled vegetables and meat for ulcers were constantly put in one tray)))
7) They steal little things. Be careful. Put everything in a safe, especially on the day of departure, when there will be no time to deal with the staff. Our cleaner first stole a pack of condoms from the bedside table, and then at the end he grabbed my glasses along with the case)). The glasses are a pity - they were dear and beloved.
8) Beach. Small, but in January there were no problems with sunbeds. There is a reef and lots of fish. Be sure to take masks. One entry into the sea immediately to the depth, and the second along a stone cut with shells and coral remnants - don’t even think of walking there without slippers, the edges of the shells are very sharp, I once climbed without slippers and seriously injured my leg.
9) Animation. Is absent.
10) Internet. Paid wifi. At the counter they asked for 20 euros for a week of Wi-Fi. Tip - go to the nearby Chris Resort hotel and take it for two weeks for $ 7)))

Summary. Bad old treshka with a remote beach. Go only if the ticket does not exceed 400-500 bucks for two weeks per person with "all inclusive". The option is suitable if you plan to lie on the beach all day, by the pool and go on excursions. In all other cases, no.
Pros: warm pool, bartender Jamaica, cheap fruits in a nearby supermarket, sea, sea and again sea.
