1. And most importantly, there is no sea!!!!!!! Every day it goes 200 meters away, exposing the coral bottom, along which you will not enter the water from the beach without special shoes. This must be taken into account if you are going on vacation with children. The entrance to the sea is only from the pontoon and here are the next disadvantages - it opens when an employee arrives (about 9 am). that is, if you went to breakfast at 7, you can take your time at sea, the pontoon is closed. Once on it, after walking about 200m, the next disappointment is the entrance to the water alone. There is only one staircase and a queue of people who want to go in and out, it is very inconvenient. The fence to the buoys is 50 meters. A very small square for swimming. It is bathing, ptmh swimming here simply will not work. You will be whistled and pulled out of the water if you decide to swim further. When entering the water from the stairs, the depth was immediately and there were always waves, the wind accompanied the whole vacation very strong. If you swim so-so, and even more so with children, this option will obviously disappoint you((
2. Strong winds. And not for a day or two, which could be assumed to be coincidental, but for all 12 days of rest. There was a sandstorm one day, it's just trash 😖
3. The concept of the hotel. Everything is very ill-conceived, you can ignore it, but the impression is built from the little things.
For example: the hotel has a main restaurant/bar (in the main building), a pool bar, a beach bar and a snack cafe on the beach. You decided to have a snack on the beach at lunch, so as not to return to the main restaurant. They took a pizza, and they send you to the bar for drinks. OK, there's a beach bar right around the corner, but apart from beer and lemonades, you won't be offered anything. Over a glass of wine, go to the main bar, don't forget to get dressed, no one will serve you in a towel. And so you walk 500 meters in the heat while your pizza cools down over wine. They will pour 100 grams, ask for more, they will twist their muzzle. The kindness of the staff leaves much to be desired, this is a separate point. The most polite person in the hotel is our room cleaner.
Next, about logistics. There is a cafe on the ground floor where they make excellent coffee, but again twenty-five. If you want to have coffee at breakfast in the morning, then please go down to the 1st floor separately, and then go up to the second floor to the main restaurant.
There are 2 bars on the 1st floor - alco and without alco (where there is coffee). So if you want juice besides coffee, then go to another bar (alco).
In short, it is already clear that everything seems to be there, but it is stupidly not thought out and not customer-oriented ((
3. Staff
I have never met such a piggish attitude. I walk up to the bar, the employee is standing with his back, watching TV. Another person approaches, he knows perfectly well that the guests are behind him, but continues to look. He turns around, with an exclamation of dislike, throws the toothpick violently on the floor and waits for our order. Is this normal?
Another day, we ask for juice and rum. Pours, after a while we come up again. He says he's out of juice. Well, OK, sometimes we take soda. Following us, the next tourists ask for juice - he gets it. What kind of double standards? Not only is there trouble with cocktails, the staff does not know the contents of the pinocolade and cannot cook, but they also refuse to pour ordinary drinks.
4. Animation
Don't expect to be actively entertained here. Alas, it seems that the animators are only happy if they don't find a volleyball or aqua aerobics team. Upon arrival, we did not see any animators at all for 2 days, complained to our guide, and a miracle happened. It was the first time we saw this employee on the beach. All the action takes place in the pool area (the water is cold by the way). There is only volleyball on the beach and only in the evening. All.
Of the advantages:
Nice room, beautiful view from the window. Sooooo, there is not enough brush in the toilet, well, such a trifle could be corrected, many people write about it.
The food is delicious and quite varied, BUT there is no fruit. More precisely, you will be offered oranges and apples. There were melons twice during the whole vacation, there were no watermelons at all.
Well, the advantages end there.
A Russian family with children arrived with us, who on the 2nd day were already trying to move to another hotel, there is no children's animation, they are not allowed into the pool without an adult even taking into account armbands and a depth of 120 cm!!!! You can't jump, you can't do anything. You can't go in from the pier in the morning, because the worker has not yet come, and the exit from the water is at 17.30, although the sun has not set yet. Some kind of ghetto with a lot of restrictions, no other way.
Sorry for the money spent, that's all I can say about this vacation.
Oh cannon , 10 days for two $ 590 all inclusive .
A good place for couples with children )
Bomb staff , food 11 out of 10
Drunks are good , and the most wonderful thing is beer , bottled …
Great hotel. Rooms, catering, service, entrance to the sea is convenient for children, animation

The hotel is good in its territory, there are pools, sun loungers for everyone and the sea on the beach as well, the rooms are tired,they are cleaned normally, the kitchen is fine, far from the city.it is better not to catch local taxis on the road and do not order at the hotel, they are expensive.Order an uber, it's much cheaper and they'll bring you back, wait until you go for a walk or shopping and take you back.

Nice hotel! The rooms are not bad, everything is there, everything is working, freshly renovated. Service and cleaning for 5! The food is very good, they work, they try, I liked the Italian restaurant, it is located above the main one, there is dinner only without reservation, you go in and eat, climbing is super! I used Rum is not bad, the beach is good there. We were in January the best way to take a break from winter, bask in the sun and the sea is of course cool. Take a mask with you. There are a lot of fish on the pier, take a mask!
A good hotel with its own BUT
Everyone wants to fuck you for money
In the sea, no one cares how far you sail away, no one will whistle
The food is very greasy
In general, it's fine
Delicious food, good room stock, friendly staff. Entering the sea from panton, a stingray lives under the bridge. The pool is not heated, but in the heat it is what you need. There are wind barriers on the beach.
It's a good hotel, it's a bit boring for children, but there is animation. Rude bartenders for Russians . The food is good, there are several restaurants. Nice coffee bar. I liked the hotel in general.
Michael and Carlos did not take off the photo for the second time, and the first time I did not have time to download it from Google drive, they deleted it without warning. I write to them and they ignore it..
These are boat trips on a yacht at the hotel.
And so everything is fine!! 🤘
PS I paid 50 bucks for the photographer🙁
We went in September 2021, everything looks like the post-war period, everything is shabby, the service is average for 5 people. The rooms are dirty, the bed linen is stained. Tips are expected from you everywhere, it's not clear just for what??? The food is quite average, egurts and other food of incomprehensible freshness were afraid to eat. They ate almost the same thing, but without success. They were poisoned in the 2nd week, first me, then a friend. In the sea, the entrance to the photos is deceptive, do not be fooled, it seems that the sand, and there it is slightly dusted, the rest is all a sponge stone in which sikarakhs live. The whole bottom is littered with them. Every day the Water decreases there and you can watch them climb out. The hotel is not well located, there is always a hurricane-strong wind, it is not possible to take pictures or lie down! We got to the edge of the lure for excursions and massages on site!!!! This hotel does not share religious views, you are splashing in the pool, girls in burkinis are splashing next to you, and her husband is diving underwater in a suit, in the pool ... what is interesting is he looking at there… It's a long way to go on excursions in all directions! But we bravely still rolled down to Luxor, then to Cairo to the pyramids. We went to Cairo one day! I do not advise from Hurghada, for sure, of the whole trip we were given only 1 hour to "run around all the pyramids and the sphinx", the rest of the time was killed by them in the store of perfume oils and other similar stuff! Egypt! Don't wait for us anymore.
Albatross is always on top! They are being fed for slaughter, no matter what anyone says! The variety of everything! And baking is something divine! Those who are unhappy that the sea is going away, so you have not seen how in some places it really goes away. A great hotel for your money. And yes.....he stands in the middle of the desert. Suitable for those who don't like to hang out in the city
The hotel is good and the staff is friendly.the only negative is the sea, only from the pier.but this is not a problem if there are many pools without children.There are plenty of sun beds everywhere.and as for nutrition, it's just fine.It was in December 2021
We were in December 2021 before the new year. For my money, it's fine, without frills, I liked that there were very few people.
Of the cons: we got a normal-looking room, but if you start looking closely, but the price covers everything. You do not buy from the shore, you need to walk along the pontoon, and there is nowhere to put a towel there.
Among the advantages: a chic bar near the reception, very tasty coffee, the children took different coffee drinks.
The 4* hotel. The service is for 2. The rooms are decent, but you go to a dirty room. Then they clean up better for tips. And in general, you can get your "all inclusive" package for a tip. The attitude of the staff towards tourists leaves much to be desired... The food is also meager and monotonous. The sea is shallow (good for small children), 150 meters pier, at the end of which there is a place for swimming fenced with buoys. There is nothing for children. Playground with swings, everything. Wi-fi is normally free, pulls video calls, you can watch movies. It's a 1.5 hour drive from the airport.
We were a family With young children in November 2021, we liked everything, there is food, you can find what the kids have. Of course the rooms are not super new but they are clean
There is no sea in this hotel (As the locals told us, you need to come on a full moon, then the sea is at least a little, but there is😳but it is not worth counting on you to be at least waist-deep. Of course, there is a pier with a length of about a kilometer, you can dive there, but the place is fenced with a grid, as the waves are very strong. The staff is mostly friendly, but there are of course exceptions. For free excursions from the tour operator (fur, souvenirs and textiles store, oils) I strongly advise you not to go. It is better to go to Hurghada and see for yourself.There are shops at the exit of the hotel, the prices are too high, so bargain. If you want to buy oil, buy it at the pharmacy at times cheaper.Also be prepared that there is a constant (daily and every minute) wind, strong enough.There is no animation as such, and there is no disco either.
It's a good hotel, and I liked the rooms and the food, but of course the coral is dead and small, the water goes very far from the shore and you can't even swim from the pontoon.
I really liked the hotel: everything is done in a classic style and with taste. Every guest feels comfortable in the lobby and lobby bar. There is enough space for numerous companies and for couples in love. The territory of the hotel is well maintained and attracts with its beautiful flower beds, flowers, manicured lawns and trees. Several pools connected to each other provide an opportunity for kids and teenagers to play, and there is also enough space for adults. There are sun beds with canopies around the pools, and a bar is open. Indian, Italian and seafood restaurants invite guests. Animators know their business - gymnastics, aqua aerobics, dance lessons, games and evening shows - will not leave you indifferent. A separate delight to the staff of the Auastars diving center! Thank you so much for your attention and care to the newcomers! The best experience of a lifetime! You are super!
The hotel is great, the food and service are excellent, but you can't buy on the beach. Very shallow depth, all the time I had to go swimming on the Pier and it's 300 meters, this is probably the only drawback
The hotel is not bad! I liked it, of course there is a sea, but you need to walk along the pier and go down the stairs to swim! Oh, I can tell you about the pools, everything is clean, they are constantly cleaning, cleaning, very, very clean pools! The rooms are cleaned every day, the food is excellent, everyone will find what they want, breakfast from 07 to 11-30 (brunch! In general, I recommend anyone who wants to relax! For married couples and just relax in the buzz!
A good hotel, although not large, according to Turkish measurements, the rooms are old but put in order.The food is not plentiful, but everything is in stock: fish, meat, chicken are always available.The sea is 300 meters from the main entrance to the shore, the pier in the sea is 220 meters.
Hotel for 4 barely)The food was saved , namely (variety) fish, meat , shrimp , and so on!for 5 meals !the tide is out every day , in the evening the water arrives but still shallow, in the afternoon to walk 100 meters to the depth of the sea,no cleaning, you leave a tip for cleaning , it 's useless) they immediately offer a room for money , do not be fooled , all rooms overlook the pool , there are no other types!The staff is nice and friendly!

A great place to relax with your family. Excellent recreation organization, excellent food, friendly staff, cleaning every day
I didn't like anything.
Constant wind, waves, tides. The sea is shallow, like in Anapa, with km to go and it will not be deep. The rooms are so-so, it's very clear from the plumbing that it's time to change it. The animation is dead- no movement during the day or in the evening. There is no place to go - the hotel stands apart from everything and everyone. Everywhere they try to inflate and dilute. Expectation and reality did not match.
I stayed at this hotel in September 2021.
A good hotel, as stated for 4* matches. The only drawback is the outgoing sea, it is practically not there very shallow and every morning the tide was out by about 800 meters. And, the hotel itself is very well maintained, there are many pools, the staff is friendly, the restaurant has a good assortment of dishes.
Well, so-so... 4 is weak. I was there for the first time in January 2022. The hotel is the first year as an Albatross and just haven't had time to put everything in order yet. I'm not going back yet.
The food is monotonous, but delicious. We lived in an old building, there was no repair. There were also no toiletries in the room.

A cozy family-friendly hotel with high-quality service and delicious cuisine! The cleanest warm sea and a comfortable beach complement this hotel to perfection)
"Dad, where's the sea!" The sea is ankle deep, the entrance to the sea is by whistle. If you swim from the pier, then 20.30 people swim in a 10×10 square. Pioneer camp!
The kitchen is normal!
We are currently staying at this hotel.Fuck it, there's no sea.We are already used to the stench of the sewer…But why have they been drilling tiles around the pool with a hammer for the second night, until morning???
