Our general impressions of the hotel are very good. The territory of the hotel is chic, the hotel is located in a very beautiful and romantic area, which overlooks three countries: Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. During the day you are unlikely to see them (only a gorgeous sea), but in the evening the lights glow. The beach in this hotel is really wonderful - the entrance is without any pantones there, there is a specially allocated safe place without corals (it is very convenient to travel with children), as well as very edge coral reefs on the sides of the beach, especially chic coral on the border of Movenpick with Hilton. By the way, in the Hilton you can also walk safely, as the passage between the hotels is open through the beach. There you can also go to the market for souvenirs or to the pharmacy. There are enough free places on the beach now, but if you suddenly want a VIP place in a certain place, then it’s better to negotiate with towel makers (those who give out beach towels), not for free, of course. But if a person tries for you, then why not thank . The hotel has a main restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks and various buns at the Fish Restaurant during breaks. We would not have noticed this if Marina (guest relay) had not told us - the only Russian-speaking person in the hotel. By the way, if you have any questions or problems - immediately to her. Believe me, this will be much more effective than trying to complain to managers, she will contact them anyway, but this will be a request or complaint already recorded to her, so they will all decide faster (verified from my own experience)
Regarding the restaurant: the food is normal, tasty, there are fruits, but if you rest for more than a week, you will start to get bored, since there is not much variety. Sometimes there were problems with the service - you had to wait for drinks for 15-20 minutes. But you can find "your" waiter and he will run around you. But do not expect super service from them, as the guys are all young and not professional, although they are friendly. You can go to the Shahrazad restaurant for free for dinner, but you need to sign up in advance at the place of the guest relay. I highly recommend - the service is top notch (and you don't mind leaving the bashish). You can also go to "Chinese", but there for the money, but the food and service are super.
The hotel has a bar: a lobby bar, a beach snack bar (although there are no snacks there, they are in a fish restaurant), a small juice bar on the other side of the beach and a bar near the bungalow. At the bars, the service is good, if you tip at the beach snack bar , then they will even bring you drinks at the tables. It is better to drink juices at bars, since there are no normal juices in the restaurant, only drinks like yupi.

The room was cleaned hrosho and without a tip. After we gave money, they began to make animals out of towels for us - just do it perfectly!
From entertainment: during the day you can play volleyball, go for exercises and water aerobics, sometimes we also saw belly dance lessons there. In the evening there are various shows or contests, but not for long, after 10:30-11:00 everything closes, but if you want, you can go to a disco at the Hilton.
In addition to the beach, the hotel has three swimming pools, as well as special small pools for children. There is also a children's club. By the way, here on the site about movenpick it is written that there is squash and tennis courts - it's not true, there is nothing like it and never was, there is only a ping-pong table and rackets you can take from them for free.
Another tip: if you eat for a long time and want to communicate with the house, it is better to buy a local operator card there - calls from the hotel are very expensive. And if you have questions or problems, as well as your birthday (it was a pleasant surprise for our friends) - tell Marina, she will send you a cake for free. By the way, this person is really pleased to leave a tip, especially since the salaries there are small.
In general, if you and your family are on a relaxing and pleasant vacation, you are there, and if you want special entertainment and parties, then it is better to go to Sharm or Hurghada. But the area is really very beautiful.
