Traveled with family in January 2008.
What did not like:
1. The staff practically does not speak Russian, even at the reception! They barely spoke English. At the reception, during the settlement, I gave him $ 30 to change the number to a larger one, so he took the bastard, climbed on the computer, and left us the same number. And after us, he extorted money from two families for supposedly the best rooms, but gave ordinary 1-room ones. Don't give them money! if they are not offended, then they are quite normal.

2. No animation. All animators are Italians and all attention is paid to Italians. Not a word in Russian, in English hello-bye. All day at the pool unknown Italian songs, in the evening there is a disco in the lobby bar where the musician performs very well live a set of 15 songs . Besides this, he can’t do anything, he doesn’t even know Celentano’s songs (except one)! Every evening at 22.00 in the theater there is a performance. Italian, nothing is clear, and we got up and left. It's unpleasant. So the animation is 95% for Italians, remember that.
3. The beach is completely dead. It feels like someone dumped a bunch of construction debris. Sand mixed with some kind of rock. The pier ends with slippery steps with rusty handrails, along which not everyone dares to go down. dived. True, they say, there are such piers along the entire coast, but it’s not easier for us. They could upgrade for 5 stars...
4. Excursions. from the pier on the shore, everything is much better and more beautiful...
Now what I liked.
1. The sea. Of course it’s awesome. There’s nothing to do without a mask on the sea. Beautiful corals, a huge number of colorful fish. We even saw a huge needle fish. No bathyscaphe even gets close.
2. Food. In my opinion, excellent. A variety of dishes for all tastes. Very tasty soups, a large selection of various meat products, fresh and cooked vegetables, a confectionery. Every day, some cool seafood. True, not very fruit, but we always took oranges, they are very tasty. sometimes second-rate. Some of ours generally came with their own.
3. Territory. Very green, many flowers, exotic vegetation. A cool stream flows through the entire territory. In general, the Egyptians are great fellows, they built such an oasis on barren sand. Very nice... In general, impressions about the hotel were contradictory. stayed. But it definitely doesn’t pull on 5 stars. I will not advise my friends. And next time I will go somewhere else.
