Rested from 06/17/2013 to 06/24/2013. Price-quality matches. 4 * is solid, especially if you remove the negative from the long journey (3.5 hours) through the Sinai desert by minibus from Sharm (for some reason, ours do not arrive at Taba airport), but this is already a question for the tour operator. First impression - SHOCK!! ! But the next day everything was back to normal. Almost everything according to the reviews about this hotel. Hotel for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The main contingent of tourists: mostly Poles 65%, there are British, Italians, from Slovakia, we were two from Ukraine and 1 - Russians (there are practically no our compatriots  ). The staff understands some Russian. The hotel area is compact and clean. The room is gloomy, the furniture is old, there is a refrigerator, TV, air conditioning, safe... bed linen, towels - not new, but everything is clean. Cleaning the room every day with laying out different figures. 
There were no mosquitoes and cockroaches in the room, a lizard was seen on the wall near the room. There were sometimes small flies on the beach, but this did not cause discomfort.
The food in the restaurant is good, perhaps for some it will not be varied: chicken, fish, grilled meat, shrimp, crabs, very tasty french fries. Quality alcohol, beer, whiskey, rum, vodka, gin, in my opinion 5 cocktails (according to the list) that the bartender does well, especially SUN CITY. The hotel staff is polite, friendly, unobtrusive. Animation: in the morning - exercises near the pool (since we were near the sea, which animation I can’t write during the day)..... for the entire rest period in the evening we had 1. belly dance and 2. Irish dance, but mostly in the evening time is a disco in a separate room, which does not bother anyone. The beach is 250 meters from the hotel, 6 minutes on foot, on the "shuttle bus" - 30 seconds (speak at the reception and they will take you). There is imported sand on the beach, the entrance to the sea is pebbly. The sea was relatively clean, but the wind brought all kinds of garbage into the bay, and it was not visible from the surface of the water, but it was clearly visible through the mask from below. Sufficiently clear water was closer to the pier separating the beach from the wasteland. The corals are close, alive, the fish are just something (slightly to the right to sail away from the beach). The beach bar is open from 10 am to 5 pm. HASIM (he is open until 10 am in the restaurant, from 10 am to 5 pm - in the beach bar and in the evening at the disco) - WORKER!! ! Special thanks to him, you didn’t have to go to the bar on the beach for drinks, he brought everything himself or asked whoever wanted what he wanted (and all this for free).

Of the proposed tours from the tour operator, we did not take a single one, since the price is 2-3 times higher than if taken from the locals (quality too). From this hotel close to Jordan, and to Israel (15 minutes by bus to the border). For those who want to go to the Dead Sea and Jerusalem on their own, it turns out much cheaper, but you need to speak at least a little English. In Eilat, all the products of the Dead Sea are much cheaper than on the Dead Sea itself, and there is where to take a walk. Independent crossing the border without problems.
We went on an excursion to Israel for 1 day - just super!! ! I advise everyone!! ! Price $85 per person (for comparison, the tour operator has 190 per person, but everything is the same)....some bargained up to 60 dollars. per person, so everything is in your hands... we went through Ibragim, but we agreed back in Kyiv upon arrival in Taba, I sent him an SMS, he called me back and I confirmed the trip. I advise everyone - DO NOT OVERPAY!!! ! The quality, the impression is the same - the money is different. Moreover, to buy a visa for 15 dollars. upon arrival in Egypt, you don’t need it (although if you go to Cairo and Alexandria, then you need it)..... we bought it because we read in the reviews what you need to buy, because when you visit Israel on the way back to Egypt you will have to pay 75 shekels. if there is no visa - this is NOT TRUE !!! ! They don’t have to pay anyone for a visa-free regime - THIS IS JUST ANOTHER DIVORCE of those who are engaged in excursions !! ! ALL HAVE A GOOD REST!! ! If you have any questions, write, I will answer.
