If you understand that you are in Egypt, and turn a blind eye to many things typical for the service of this country (bartenders calmly grab glasses at the rim with their fingers, sockets and switches on electrical tape, glasses are only plastic even in a restaurant, the drain in public toilets works through one and toilet paper is not present everywhere, etc. ), then it is generally normal)).
From the pros: a large beautiful area, proximity to the sea from the strength of a 5-minute walk, friendly staff.
Food: not happy with variety, but you won’t die of hunger, there is always meat, fish, vegetables, a lot of cakes to choose from, a couple of types of fruits (usually pomegranate and orange).
Drinks: worse with this, very poor quality. From wine - only red, and only in the main restaurant, but it has some incomprehensible taste and quality, sort of like sour pomegranate juice and without degrees))
Beer is poured from a bottle into small plastic cups, beer is generally okay.

Their tea is worth its weight in gold. Out of 5 days, I was only at breakfast 2 times, and there is in the lobby bar, to which you need to go through the entire hotel. There is no tea in other bars
Beach: it is very good, spacious enough, there is a gentle entry into the water, but very shallow, and there is a pontoon from which everyone swam.
Shopping: a local Egyptian comes to the beach every day and sells all kinds of Egyptian tunics, towels, Turkish delight and some other trinkets. All at very low prices, I recommend!
In the room: for $ 10 they gave us the "best" room according to them)) The best one is with a gorgeous view of the pool and the sea, large enough. But everything in the room is pretty tired, as in most Egyptian hotels.
What was most disappointing was the almost complete lack of animation. It’s sad ((there is no daytime at all, and sometimes in the evening, once they got to the miserable “guess the melody” contest, and once - to belly dance and local folklore.
Things to consider when going to a hotel: if you drink alcohol, it is better to take it with you; slippers are not issued; there are no toothpicks, there is a lot of tea with tea, so I would even take a boiler and tea bags with me; corals, masks, tubes can not be taken - everything is sold on the beach for a penny.
The hotel is located on the outskirts, far from the main streets where you can take a walk, so if you like to hang out, etc. , it will be boring there. There was no children's animation at all, the pools are not heated, there is no mini-club.
Contingent: in this period, there are approximately 50% of Egyptians and 50% of Russian speakers - 1) Ukrainians 2) Kazakhs 3) Belarusians (number in descending order)
