We chose a hotel specially, where it is quiet and calm, there are not a lot of tourists. We arrived at 10.00 in the morning, except for us at that time there was no check-in. We were seated immediately in a room overlooking the pool and the sea. The room had a small balcony, but there are rooms without. Of the three operating restaurants, only one is open. When we got to the beach, there were no people! Sunbeds and all places near the sea are free, hooray! To the sea from the hotel 1 minute walk. The animation was weak, the music on the beach did not play. But there is ethereal yoga in the open air. When we left, the animators quit and invited others. The food is good, sushi, various types of salads, fruits, meat, pea soup surprised me, because in Egypt there is a problem with first courses, but this one was very tasty cooked. But as usual, on the 7th day of rest, *our* food is not enough, especially borscht and dairy, normal products. Alcohol...it all depends on the bartender.
Some made cocktails based on water and ice and without alcohol or very minimally (this bartender worked at the bar where the hotel is). Although, we gave him a tip. I will return to this bartender in the comments, for now, about the pros. For lovers of noisy entertainment, it will be boring, there is nowhere to go outside the hotel! But the sea is cleaner and the beach is better than in Hurghada. Near the sea line, you can walk to a nearby hotel, so many did, but not us.


A calm and boring vacation did not work out, as it might seem at first glance. We were lucky to meet very cheerful guys and therefore the rest was very bright! On the territory of the hotel there is one, a huge pool, where the bar is located. You can swim up to the bartender)). Beer on tap only, not in bottles. It will be great if the other 2 restaurants open, they are very beautiful. On the beach you can order quad bikes, and if you go further along the sea line, excursions are cheaper than with a guide. We took from him, we wanted without persuasion.
We were charged $30 per person, but it turned out that others paid $25. And as usual, half of what was promised on the tour was not there! I liked the rest, but 50% thanks to new acquaintances. Souvenirs are more expensive than in hotels near Hurghada. Sellers ask for our alcohol, they offer to exchange it for goods. The cleaner surprised me with different animals from towels, even hung a monkey at the entrance.

The staff is nice, but I've never seen anything like it. We sat at the table in the bar (he 1 is open until 23.00). There were 2 guys sitting nearby, quietly and peacefully. The bartender, whom I wrote about earlier, approached the guys, it was not even 22.00 and without a word, began to pull their table to the middle (as if preparing the tables for closing)! then went to the DJ and turned off the music. Prior to that, for three days, he always brought us an order and put it on a nearby, free table! Like, figure it out yourself! We are not proud people, but when once again he came up and began to take full glasses from the table, it was already enough!
We approached the animator and asked why the bartender turned off the music (it was not even 22.00, but they work until 23.00). The animator replied that the bartender said he wanted to sleep!! ! everyone must disperse! We approached him, asked in a calm tone, he pretended not to hear. His boss came out and didn't answer either. As it turned out later, this is his brother! That is why he behaved so arrogantly and aggressively! And when he said bad words to us, we went to the reception. Many managers came out, they said that we would not see him during our vacation, but ....he worked as he did. Only the face is not happy with our appearance! And they brought in an extra bartender when we showed up! He left for another room.


A very unpleasant story, now it’s clear why it’s not fun there in the evening. The bartender wants to sleep, and you vacationers should understand this! If not for this case, there would be no remarks.
We paid for the rest, and in the bar near the hotel, it felt like we came for free! And this is thanks to the bartender, who has a brother *bump* in this hotel. Who smokes, take cigarettes with you! Our friend bought 1 pack for $4 and it's the cheapest! Do not forget about white coal, sorbex, and other medicines. Everything in this pharmacy is expensive! in the bar near the pool from 15.00 to 17.00 movenpick ice cream free of charge. On the beach for money, and the bartender at Sadam Beach is *global*, very correct. There was a wind near the sea, the water is not very warm, but this is a plus for us. Refreshing in such heat, the tide was out once.
