The hotel is old, shabby, but justifies its money. Safe and hair dryer can be requested at the reception, the safe is chargeable. There are a lot of Russians in the hotel, so most of the staff speak Russian. There are two pools on the territory, both cold, there are also slides. The beach is sandy, entry into the sea is convenient, but shallow, perhaps suitable for children and those who cannot swim. Animation is carried out in Russian, I can’t say that it was fun, there is a disco.
The rooms are so-so not like on the advertising booklets often there was no hot water. The beach is just class. Large comfortable very close to the coral reef. Cheap diving. //Conclusion //
if you go for the sake of the sea and the sun, then yes. Well, if for something else, it's better to find another hotel.
Rested with his wife - in Egypt for the first time. Satisfied with the choice of the tour.
Accompaniment: local agency Tarot Tour Garanah - good service. The choice of a trip through the International Travel Agency Moscow is a low price with excellent service and paperwork (the tour operator IntAer is an excellent organization, a convenient air flight).
Weather: daytime +260C, night +160C, light wind (only 05-06.01), sea +240C (very salty water).
Hotel for a budget holiday (prices 3 ***), solid 4 **** - especially for the first trip to Egypt. The staff is efficient, courteous and friendly.
The rooms are comfortable. There is air conditioning - not used. Hot water: washbasin, shower.
Room 1903 first floor at the waterfall (pool near the beach). From our side near the sea (to the pier) buildings 17.18. 19 (buildings from the restaurant to the beach on the sides of the territory with lawns and pools). First floor: rooms 1-8, second floor: rooms 9-16, third floor: 17-24.
TV: 3 Russian channels - ORT, Planeta, Vesti24. Quiet at night (disco in the building of the restaurant-reception), only the splash of waterfalls in the pool.
There are two swimming pools on the territory, the third with water slides on the territory of Reemyvera Family (behind the restaurant). Well-groomed landscape area, flower beds, alpine slides.
Beach: own sandy, bay-lagoon. Wooden deck chairs with mattresses (beach towels daily). Umbrellas from palm leaves. Palm trees in the central area. Coral reef is 50 meters from the shore.

Drinks: cola, sprites, local alcohol (vodka, brandy, rum, whiskey, beer). It is recommended to avoid drinking diluted juice (such as UPI). Not everything is tasty, but the main problem is our greed - we need to impose less and not take everything in a row. Not enough fruit.
Lotos restaurant (breakfast, lunch, dinner), Rusalka bar (la carte restaurant) on the beach (for ALL spaghetti hour (pasta with ketchup from 15.00 to 16.00) and soft drinks from 11.00. 3 pool bars - soft and alcoholic drinks from 11.00.
At the reception there is a bank branch (exchange - $ 1 = 5.5 LE), souvenir shops, lobby bar (paid). Several shops in front of the restaurant and on the pier (on the beach). To buy souvenirs, it is not necessary to go to the city, on the highway near the entrance to the territory there are many shopping arcades and shops (with fixed prices): souvenirs, products. They sell for dollars, euros and Egyptian pounds (it is more convenient to have dollars in terms of exchange and change, pounds (change) are needed mainly for visiting paid toilets on long-distance excursions). In Hurghada and Cairo, even Russian rubles are already being accepted.
My wife bought 6 bags of crocodile, snake.
Excursions - order from the host travel agency (order on the first day discount $ 5), you can order excursions on a safari and boat trips at the reception desk.
I agree with everyone that there is not a restaurant, but a canteen)) but this did not spoil our holiday!! ! We don’t eat there, but we go to relax and sunbathe! Loved the entrance to the sea! due to the grid, which is at the exit from the lagoon, there are no hedgehogs and any living creatures, so you swim and are not afraid to enter the bottom (as in many other hotels in Egypt) !! ! And to look at the fish and the same hedgehogs, we went diving from the pier! on the other side of the lagoon, there was even an octopus in the stones)))
And the price was from Moscow for three 28.000 rubles. 9 nights)))
We loved it and will probably return to this hotel!
in the room there was no soap, shampoo, and other little things that are usually invisible, but its absence is striking. but it did not upset us, we were determined to relax, not paying attention to the little things. we lasted for five days, after that all we wanted to do was go to the damn house as soon as possible. Can't wait for the day off the ride!
I have never seen a more arrogant and tactless staff anywhere. in the dining room (this is not a restaurant, but a dining room - a galim catering) there is constant pandemonium, there are more people in the hotel than places at the tables every 10 times, and there are even fewer plates, mugs, spoons, forks than these very places! people are constantly standing in line for dishes, and having grabbed a plate, everyone rushes to the distribution, where they line up again! By the way, this is also the peculiarity of Russians, to gather in a crowd in front of a closed dining room, and at the opening to run a race to the trough. How disrespectful do you have to be to behave like this? of course, the attitude of the staff is appropriate - not a single German, of whom there were only a dozen, was not poured beer or other alcohol into plastic cups in this hotel like Russians, because they don’t behave like starving cattle! in my presence, an elderly German woman was pushed by a hefty bull so that her plate flew several meters away and broke; think he apologized at least formally, he was also rude to her!
well, this time it's enough, there are questions, want to discuss, argue - you are wellcome
