Foreword: everything is not at all as scary as it might seem, if you read the previous reviews, it would be more correct to say that there is nothing so creepy and terrible in this hotel at all.

Check-in: a friendly meeting of the staff, filling out questionnaires, and then they take your suitcases and escort you straight to the room, the whole procedure takes no more than 10 minutes, the manager, a pleasant and polite young man on the way to the room, gives full information about the hotel. The tour operator paid for a ticket with a front beach number, where they were settled, it was also proposed to choose a floor and a room to your taste.

Sea: this is perhaps the most beautiful sea in Egyptian resorts, where, as a rule, if the beach is dirty muddy water, and from the pontoon there is a blue abyss. It is completely different here, a real blue lagoon, with different levels of depth, a rich underwater world, live corals and the purest transparent water.


Territory: green, clean, well-groomed, pleasant.
The architecture is classic restrained, there are practically no Arabic motifs, the area of ​ ​ the hotel is large, but not too much, there are no sharp rises and many steps.

Staff: friendly, attentive, the waiters in the restaurant will not run around, but if you ask, they will not leave you without attention. Good cleaning in the room, always clean, washed the floor, everything is neatly arranged, every day there are different figures and compositions of towels. The staff in the bars are friendly, sociable, with a sense of humor, almost everyone speaks excellent Russian. There was no rudeness or impoliteness.

Animation: great, maybe if you yourself do not want to make contact, then you will definitely be unhappy with any animators, anywhere. Only if you yourself want to have fun, it will certainly be so. Misha and Chris, cheerful and sociable, for young people the most it.
Nadya, a children's animator, is just a light for the kids, who, seeing Nadya, threw everything and ran after her without coming off. Every evening on the terrace of the restaurant, the entertainment program is always different, in a word, if the soul requires entertainment, be sure to get it.

Meals: At the time of stay, the number of guests was 20%, in connection with which there was one main restaurant and several eateries. The range of dishes, compared to some other hotels, is not great, but the only difference is that in another hotel 5 types of rice were presented, and here 2, which in fact is not a terrible drawback, there are always several types of fish, chicken, and beef, vegetables in various variations, there are dishes for those who adhere to any diet, boiled vegetables, meat and rice without seasonings and oil. Desserts are also varied, and very nutritious and light fruity.

There is a snack bar on the beach near the bar, for those who do not want to change clothes and go to a restaurant for lunch. Here, every day, invariably and always in stock is mini pizza, similar in composition to Margarita, a bread cake stuffed with thinly sliced ​ ​ liver in sauce or a flat cutlet, in addition to this every day different grilled vegetables, pasta with vegetables and potatoes in different versions . After 3-4 hours, small pancakes with jam are baked. In a word, all the food is good, without a pronounced Arab touch.

Insects: for 10 days, not a single cockroach, not a single fly caught my eye, all fictions and exaggerations, mosquitoes were poisoned with smoke every evening, so mosquitoes were not observed either, the main thing is not to leave the balcony open at night, maybe they fly in at night.

Cons: on the face of the lack of a competent manager of the hotel.
Many little things that on the last days of your stay increasingly catch your eye, many questions arise, why the air conditioner does not work in the restaurant and in the hall in the evening, when there are a lot of people and stuffy, why the waiters forget to wipe the tables from crumbs, and many little things that simply must be done with discipline and discipline. Of course this is not. But again, do not spoil your mood with such trifles.

Comment on negative reviews: it is surprising that the opinion of the majority is so biased. My husband and I have been to many resorts in the world, paying completely different money, and having paid $ 2.000 for a ticket, we did not expect service and a hotel, which usually cost a little differently. It is amazing that many, having bought a last-minute ticket for a penny, expect to be carried in their arms and licked.
During our vacation, we came across such people who paid 30.000 rubles for a ticket for two, were dissatisfied with everything, not once, anywhere, and did not tip anyone, and argue that the hotel does not pull on 5 stars, despite the fact that they went abroad for the first time and did not swim further than the city lake, they are taken to judge the star rating of the hotel. And instead of taking pictures of the beautiful sea and corals, they run around the hotel and look for stains on textiles and chips on the steps and post such photos in reviews.

Conclusion: the main guarantee of a wonderful holiday is a positive attitude and good mood. Be friendly and polite, leave one dollar at the bar, for cleaning, just to the staff that pleases you, and the result will not be long in coming. Enjoy your holiday and don't always believe the negative reviews.
