November, 2023
The weather is beautiful, the sea is fabulous.
Very helpful staff.
The animators were especially pleased. Water aerobics in the sea!!!, dance warm-ups!
Do you want to come again? Yes!!!)))
Thank you all for a good rest!
Hello, we had a family vacation in March 2024. We are two adults + two teenage boys. We arrived from the airport by taxi, of course we paid $ 15 with taxi drivers, the uber application did not work immediately, although we bought a local SIM card and installed it, if you order a taxi through the application, the amount is not significant to the airport (so we left for $ 3 back) I liked the hotel very much, we arrived very late, we were fed, which was very pleasant, we were settled in the 3rd building, 2nd floor, 160 room, close to the reception, convenient. By 1 p.m., ice cream was distributed to children every day. Even teenagers are happy. It also happened more than once for dinner ice cream. The room was cleaned, but until you ask, and we don't need it every day, the bed hasn't been changed, we really needed it at least once. They write a lot about mosquitoes, I read before leaving, no fig, a couple may have flown by during the rest period, but they did not bite or interfere, I rested earlier in Egypt, mosquitoes did not interfere and did not even see them, and so the polite staff, just wonderful people work in the cafe, strong men, since their work it is not easy to cook, I ask the guests very much, go with your children for food together, otherwise the children themselves are of different ages, not neat, they scatter everything, they collect food and do not finish everything they have collected! The chef himself is excellent, he worries about the quality of cooked food, he works himself and always goes out to the guests, clarifies how things are))) We were treated to strawberries for dinner more than once. It seemed to me that there are fewer Russians in the hotel than Europeans, which is cool. At the reception, it is in the hall where guests rest cleanly, smells delicious from a humidifier that sprays a pleasant smell, everything is beautiful, also on the sofas, I ask guests to behave not like at home, drunk, feet on the table, even girls do not hesitate to spread their feet damn, spill drinks on the sofa, half naked, and it's even more interesting when they sleep sprawled out on the entire sofa. They will also drink tea and throw everything away, chopsticks, sugar papers, lime, dirty napkins, glasses, God, well, you don't have to wait for them to clean up for you, there is an urn nearby. Apparently, my mother did not teach me how to behave in society?!? The water park is great!!! The children are happy. The beach is wonderful. Clean. They clean it every day, in the evening. We took a mini bus from the hotel, it goes often, but we also walked back and forth to the beach and the water park. Every day, a swimmer sits on the beach. On the beach, they often dined in a tent and left personal belongings from clothes and bathing accessories, bags, glasses, etc., except for phones, everything always remained in place. Maybe it's wrong, but it's not convenient to carry bags. Thanks to the staff. We had a great rest. The Internet is super, there is at the reception. The animation is funny, the guys are well done dancing and sociable. Unfortunately, the voucher and all the tickets were thrown away. You can't post a lot of photos, the site doesn't give you such an opportunity. I recommend the hotel.
A quality hotel for your money. Good food - chicken, fish and beef every lunch and dinner. Polite staff. The rooms are cleaned every day. On the beach at lunch, you can have a snack at the snack bar with pizza, French fries and all sorts of other things. Cool water park, slides for both adults and children. I had a rest with my family, I really liked everything!
I had a good rest with my wife in April. The sea is warm, the food is delicious. The rooms are a bit old, but we didn't come to sit in the room ..)
There is a pool with cold water. You need to walk a little to the sea, it didn't bother you.
A large selection of dishes Polite staff clean beach The rooms are cleaned clean every day the territory is clean The water park is normal Not very new appliances in the rooms
the hotel is 3+, we rested in early June 2023, the food is very monotonous, almost the same thing every day, the staff is excellent, the sea is gorgeous, the beach is good, the water park is also very good, But what killed me the most on the beach at a temperature of 40 degrees they pour Stella Artois beer hot, not even chilled. We went with my family (2 children + 2 children), I definitely will not return there anymore, well, from my point of view, I do not recommend(.
We really liked everything, the food, the staff, the animators, the bus goes to the beach every 10 minutes, water slides, attractions, pools on site, evening performances.
It's a pity that you can't put less than one star. Terrible reception service, even more terrible is the monotonous food, which makes you sick on the 3rd day.
The only thing that saved was the neighboring tent, in which you could have a normal lunch.
The rooms have old furniture, towels that are in such a state in the room that it's time for them to go to the trash. There is practically no animation, only lying on the beach remains. Half of the slides in the water park are not working. There's no way you should stop here.
Biblio-Globus operator, excellent flight by Aeroflot, from Moscow, Boeing 777, with meals. I took a burning tour in a couple of days, 42 thousand for one, at the end of January. + visa is $ 25. I took a look at the reviews, I wanted to go to the sea.
Of the huge advantages - the location of the hotel, delicious food restaurant (grilled cutlets, beef, chicken, fish salads are all very decent for 4* (there is even a la carte oriental)
To the beach 10 minutes on foot, but the bus runs all day with a break of 7-10 minutes
Comfortable rooms, the territory of the beach and the water park.
For your money, the hotel is not bad at all.
Of the disadvantages, the number of rooms does not interfere with updating, there are already updated rooms, you can ask the operator when booking. They were renovated 6 months ago, and Wi-Fi has already been installed in them.
Also, many thanks
to the managing manager, front office manager- Ismael El Sheikh. There were difficulties with the air conditioner, all issues were resolved.
If something goes wrong and someone does not want to solve your question, contact them (I know English, but I am sure that the hotel staff will translate everything you need). Guest Relay is also in touch.
Because it is not the season, it is a little windy, but in February it will already warm up (now it is 22-26 degrees the air temperature, wind, water is about 21 degrees.
The beach is very large, there is a bar with food on the beach.
Personally, I was not so lucky with the audience (a lot of aged and family with children), but it was fun due to animation.(evening show + afternoon activities on the beach. Big greetings to Angie and Helen
I personally had a great time.
Recommendations to go with a girl or a family. In general, it is quiet, calm and not expensive.
I stayed at this hotel from December 18 to 28,2023.Strong 4..I have been vacationing in Egypt since 2004, so I know what I'm talking about..In Egypt, it is impossible to relax in hotels less than 4, and 4 are sometimes bad..Yes, this is not 1 coastal, the second one, for those who care about it, then two buses run regularly with an interval of 10 minutes. The beach is sand, but large, sometimes there are pebbles, you can cut your leg, I recommend carols.There is a water park on the shore, slides for adults and for children separately, but the water in it is COLD, without heating .., it is extremely uncomfortable in winter.The food is excellent, the main thing is delicious .., of course there are no amars, but the hotel is not of this level, fish constantly..What pleased me was this reaction to a conflict situation, they react quickly..Overall, I recommend this hotel.This is the former Golden Fife, just a new owner.Internet only at the reception There is ice cream by the heated pool.
A very cool hotel, a great water park, there are reefs on the beach to see and just a visit with sand, the staff is kind, the animators are cool, they regretted that they only started going to yoga late, etc
our favorite. The Golden Five Club, now called the hotel 1 of the oldest in the world in 64, in my opinion, was built here, well, the last time we were there, in 2013, we rested for 10 years of our absence, nothing has changed, unfortunately. I would say a little bit degraded in general, a great place is inexpensive: a hotel, a beach, food, decent beer, generally super, this Stella, local Egyptian, just a bomb, so I recommend this place, I really like it there, we are already there. We rested 4 times.
The hotel disappointed with the quality of service. The standard family room did not have air conditioning, refrigerator and safe. Garden view is a view from the balcony to a plastered wall across an asphalt road where official cars drove and parked.
Advantages can be noted water park. But the transfer to the water park is carried out by a minibus type bus with non-closing doors and the inability to roll a baby stroller. The water in the children's part of the water park is not heated. Loud music is playing on the beach.
So it's time to write what I think
I 've been to the Golden Five 2 times since 2011 .
It was great.
He arrived many years later , in December 2023 .
There are 2 hotels left on the territory , we lived in the blend club .
It saves that there is a water park, but no one visits the children's slides, because the water in the pools is icy, I think it's a big minus.
The beach is clean, spacious, the animation is so-so , the staff is trying, buildings, rooms, require attention.
The food in the dining room is ordinary, you won't find anything surprising there.
In general, I went here only because I was here a long time ago, but unfortunately everything is not like that...
My husband and I got to this blessed place on a hot ticket and did not regret it for a moment! The sea, the sun and the wonderful cuisine! Advice to the owners of this hotel: you need to take great care of your chefs, they are the Gods of their business! The rooms are tired, of course, but the kitchen makes up for everything! Thank you!
A great hotel for a holiday! A magnificent and large water park! Everything is clean and beautiful! Cozy beach, umbrella and deck chairs are slightly fenced off from each other!
We rested from October 5 to October 15.
Pulls on a three. The rooms are tired to the point of impossibility. After bankruptcy, it was restored in puffs. They first move into rooms even without cosmetics, with construction dust. Moving to a normal (relatively) room costs $ 20. There is practically no territory of its own. All free zones are given over to shops (sellers will regularly and constantly ply not only on the beach, but also on the territory of the hotel offering their goods). Two buses to the beach (in the morning you can walk 5 minutes). The beach is well maintained, there are enough sunbeds. The water park is quite good, all the interesting slides are open. Animation on the beach is active.
The hotel bar is 5 in quality and 3 in staff. There were a couple of Egyptian polyglots/bartenders who decided that with children in foy it would be wonderful to swear in Russian at the top of their lungs. They did not respond to the comments until they contacted the administrator.
The pool bar 5, the beach bar 4.
The main restaurant on the solid 5. Of course there is excitement at dinners, but the variety of dishes pleases and everything is really delicious.
Meals at the pool from 13 to 15. Fries, burgers and nuggets are served periodically. Then you can have lunch there. The rest of the days, an incomprehensible hodgepodge of vegetables and tasteless sausages.
Restaurant on the beach from 13 to 15. There is no choice, there are not enough plates, the Arabs climb without a queue, they collect two or three plates and in this restaurant the chefs do not stop it, although in the rest they are driven to the end of the queue.
Dishes are badly washed everywhere. There were glasses with traces of someone else's lips and lipstick. Many come with their glasses.
We went from Anex. The guide is still a talker. We took an excursion to Luxor, promised 3 hours in one direction. In fact, we drove 6 in one direction. Well, this is for those who care about it. I won't go a second time
The hotel is very cool and the staff are straight professionals
The food is super
The water park is super
The animator is trying very hard
The location is very good
The bartenders are super
Thanks to all the staff for a good rest
November 11 -24.In the current conditions - a very good hotel. It is very important - the attitude of employees to their business. It is very visible how they try to do everything well for the guests.The chef will bring each dinner to each table and
ask if you like everything.I Recommend It.
Animators tearfully ask teenagers vacationers to write good reviews, allegedly without reviews animators will be fired.
Hotel 3*.
The main plus is the large water slides
Now about the cons:
-entering the water only in corals. A narrow strip of sand about which you can go into the water contains fragments of coral
- the rooms are very killed. Everything is stripped. Broken, smeared with putty.
- beach towels are frayed to the fringe
- in a cafe on the beach, when dinner is served, sparrows peck bread, which then vacationers will eat. Cooks don't care.
- food at the level of the average three. You won't starve, and that's fine
- mosquitoes are a problem, there are a lot of them in the rooms.
We had a rest in September 2023. At the reception they gave out a room key, one for two. Extort money for the delivery of suitcases to the room, it will stand to be given money. In the room, the water is free, bottles were added every day. The hotel is all inclusive, free alcohol (wine, gin, beer, vodka), the food will seem delicious at first, and after three days you understand that you are tired of everything, it does not differ in variety. Towels are provided on the beach and by the pool. As you leave the hotel, there will be 5 shops on the right side of the gate. Do not try to go there, go either across the road or to the left, where there are people. We were lured, the wrong product was sniffed, he pushed me out of the store, shouted at me not to go there, but did not let my husband out and demanded to pay for the goods.
The hotel can be stretched on a four-piece.The food is nominal, if you are not a gourmet.The drinks in the assortment are different, both free and non-alcoholic.The beach is not bad sand with small rocks of stone.The animators work well.There is a chain of stores not far beyond the territory. In the evening, all events are held in English.
We rested at the blend club in early December, we liked everything, the weather was good, we swam, the staff treated us well and communicated at the reception, Mohamed A. Samea helped and answered questions. As for the food, I would like more seafood.
Very budget 4.arrived at 9 in the morning when you were given 10 euros, immediately put on bracelets and sent for breakfast.at 11 they gave a large room with 3 large beds.cleaning norms left a dollar or a chocolate bar, twisted elephants and always left 8-10 bottles of water and once brought two juices and two cans of fanta.the sea is super, the pool is heated, the other is cold, the food is not very
A great hotel for its price category , the only negative is the small area around the hotel . The beach is 1000 meters away , huge clean with a water park

80% of the tourists are Arabs. All with children. Awful. If we had known the situation in advance, we would never have gone
I can't hear Russian, I've only heard it a couple of times a week
Arabs are very loud, they will always be preferred by bartenders and so on
Animation failed, it just doesn't exist, we went three times - three times it was just an attempt to fill time with animators from the hotel, there were no promised shows
This is the most insulting thing, since we did not see any animation at all, we came to the beginning and watched a pathetic "show" of animators (not programs) for 2 hours each
Only Arabic music is played, mostly
The main bar in the lobby is inconveniently located, the people at the bar are united with those who sit on the wifi
And there are few places for all of them
According to the food - sou sou, you will not stay hungry, but it is not enough tasty, there are few fruits, mostly apples in water and oranges, melons (sometimes not ripe), once they gave sliced mango (but they had to beg for every piece), green viscous bananas (also once they were)
There is a lot of food that our people do not understand, both in taste and in fact
You are also sitting in the dining room and there are only Arabs around, children are running around, very not very, I don't know how anyone - but we were very stressed and partly this factor spoiled the rest
The sea is the sea, everything is fine with it. When the waves wash the mud to the shore, it is not cleaned. And there are a lot of rocks and reefs, it's very easy to get hurt by accident
The water park is good, but there are not enough tubing, mats in abundance
If you are waiting for tubing, the Arabs will give it to their own rather than to you
Some slides (including the most extreme ones) are closed, it was not a problem for me, we rode mainly on 3, which are the most interesting, the rest are for children
The room is normal for the picky, I won't say anything new - old furniture, but spacious. We had a room with a balcony and a bathroom
There are shops with overprices on the territory of the hotel and near it, it is more expensive than in the city, it is tiring to bargain for 15-20 minutes before the normal price
But one case just made me mad, they didn't want to buy at one stall, they wanted to go out - the seller blocked the way, and then pinched hard.
It's probably normal for them to hurt their women, but when they do it to tourists, it's just terrible. There are no words.
We visited this hotel at the end of May. The hotel is nice, but the beach is far away, it's inconvenient with children. We got good rooms on certain conditions. The food is normal, but monotonous. When choosing excursions, check with the guide all the details of the selected excursion again before paying. It turned out that the time of the tour and its contents did not coincide with what the guide told us. The water park is good, but the working time after lunch is inconvenient: from 14 to 16-30, the sun is still very active at this time, it is easy to burn out. The hotel is a solid 4ka.
We rested at the Blend club aqua resort 04.06.-14.06.2023.
First, I will say a few words about the tour operator. We flew through an Anexture. It's not the first time we've flown through them, but this time we didn't like it at all. It's no secret that upon arrival in Egypt, you need to pay a visa of $ 25, but for some reason anextur charges $ 27, explaining that they provide a service there ... but which one we did not understand, since we filled out the questionnaire ourselves, we stood in queues everywhere, like everyone else…
When an accident with a child's injury occurred during the vacation due to the fault of the hotel staff and the guide needed help, he did not help in any way, but on the contrary, he wanted us to write a paper that we had no complaints against the hotel. And then he disappeared…As well as the entire hotel administration.
Transfer to the hotel
The hotel is 10 km from the airport, but prepare for the fact that you will drive for more than an hour. We took tourists alternately to hotels from the right side of the road, then from the left, because of this, we drove in circles along the same road for more than an hour. We strongly regretted that we did not take an individual transfer, hoping that the hotel is close and the road will not take much time.
Check-in
When we finally got there, it was still morning. At the reception, all our suitcases were immediately taken away ... but looking ahead, I will say that this was done primarily not to help you, but in order to give the "porter" an opportunity to earn money. Since you can't give up the "wires" to the room, and then he stands in the room and asks for money for the work done with all his appearance.
We were traveling with three children, so we really wanted to check in as soon as possible. But when we met in the morning, we were immediately told that the hotel was 100% occupied and there was not a single room available. But after we paid the money, magic happened, and the room was immediately found.
In general, everyone in this hotel REALLY WANTS TO MAKE MONEY, and communicate respectfully when they are interested in you financially. The only friendly staff is those who work without tips and left earnings. At the pool, the waiters, the cleaners, the bus drivers are all very good-natured) But at the reception, for example, an employee worked (there are several of them, I'm talking about someone who spoke Russian), who always rudely and rudely answered all questions of interest.
Number
The room is big, but it's dead. The furniture is all old and shabby. The key card does not always work the first time or even the second time.
By the way, in hotels, if you lose your room card or towels, there will be a fine.
Room cleaning
The room is cleaned more "for show", it will be well cleaned and the floors will be washed only after a tip. The cleaner ran after us every day, when he met us in the corridor, he could come to our room without asking, saying, "did I clean up well? Do you like everything?" and even when you say goodbye to him and try to close the door, he did not leave. He stood and waited for money to be given to him.
Territory
There is nothing to tell about it, since it does not exist at all. In general!!! The information that the area of 96,000 sq.m is a complete lie!
Animation
We are not big fans of animation, so it did not bother us much that there was very little of it. The only thing we sometimes attended was a children's mini-disco in the evenings, after dinner. The children were not particularly interested, because there was a tiny scene with one spotlight, the same program every night....and the girl conducting these discos, frankly speaking, was not incendiary.
Water park
In general, it's not bad, there are a lot of slides. There is a part of purely children's slides, there are more interesting slides where children can ride with adults on double cheesecakes. But whether you can ride there with a child or not depends on the mood of the employee who controls this slide. My children and I were quietly allowed on the slides, then a week later they decided that they were small and they could not ride on these slides. It is almost impossible to explain to the staff in the water park area, because they do not communicate in Russian or English. The water in the children's water park is icy. In the end, I will tell you an "interesting" story about this water park.
Sea and beach
The sea is the only huge advantage of this hotel. It's beautiful and warm. There are reefs nearby, where many different fish, rays and snakes live.
But be prepared that at 18:00 both the pool and the sea will close and you will be chased from everywhere. It was a huge minus for us, since my children and I were in the room all the intense heat... it turns out that we could only swim from before 12 o'clock and from 16 to 18…
It is also necessary to hand over towels at 18. Keep it for yourself so that you can go to the sea early in the morning, for example, you can not, fine)))
Food and drinks
The food is at the hotel, as in all of Egypt. The most monotonous and boring is breakfast. For lunch and dinner, the dishes change a little, you can find something to your liking. Every day there is fish, chicken, meat, vegetables, various side dishes and many, many monotonous local pastries. From fruits: daily apples, oranges, dates and grapes, green melons, watermelons were given a couple of times.
You can go to the fish restaurant a la carte once. In fact, you will be taken to the dining room on the coast. There is nothing particularly fishy there, except fish in a huge batter, which interrupts the whole taste of fish. And the rest of the menu is rice, French fries, chicken... we went for a change, but we were hungry and went back to the hotel to an ordinary restaurant))
Well, the BIGGEST DISADVANTAGE of this hotel is the Arabs, who rest as tourists!!! There are sooooo many of them in the hotel! They behave ugly, there are no rules for them, they always get in line, whether it's a restaurant, bar, slides, bus, etc. The service staff does not stop this in any way, serves them first, and they boldly push everyone away, blindly get in.
Well, in the end, I will tell you a case that happened to us at this hotel before leaving, just because of the violation of the rules of stay of adult Arab tourists in the children's pool, where they should not be at all. Due to the fact that the hotel staff allows Arabs to ride on the children's slides, one of my children was injured. He had numerous abrasions and bruises in the eye area. A doctor was called to us, but as it turned out, the "left" one. This doctor applied ice and asked how the child was doing... that's it!!!! This is the whole inspection! At first, the general manager (I don't remember his name) and his deputy Ksenia wanted to buy us off. We refused the money and asked for an official doctor's certificate. They said that the certificate would be closer to 16 o'clock, before our departure from the hotel. As a result, they wrote some kind of piece of paper by hand, when we demanded an official response, they ran away from their offices and all hid. We have not received any clear response from either the guide or the hotel managers and no help…
And then it's up to you to decide whether to go to this hotel for a vacation. Unfortunately, we did not see any advantages, except for the sea. But the red sea is beautiful, I think, not only in this hotel!
A good hotel, the food is delicious, the entertainment is good, the sea is not far away, the water park is good, the rooms are not bad, the beach is also cool, everything is cool
A normal hotel, a little bit of a stand (bed linen is terrible). The food is wonderful, the sea is super, the animation is normal, the children's animation is normal
Solid 4 ,for Egypt , the staff is good , the food is excellent, especially meat, fish and salads are specific .I didn 't like one eggplant a little , small , plump , but apparently he disliked me , but in general I recommend it .
Boarding house, it's very boring, the hotel is for families, as well as the staff is good, smiling, friendly, everything is clean, you can relax, but there is not enough movement
The hotel is for a C, even for a two. The rooms are poorly cleaned, the floor in the hotel lobby is always dirty. The sofas are a pillar of dust. The food is normal, there is always fish, delicious white.
The water park is good , but not all the slides work . The sea is gorgeous! The beach is a small shell rock.
The hotel is not very good. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners are like in the dining room. And they don't let everyone in right away. We have to wait. Taking a bus to the sea is also not an option, it takes about 20 minutes on foot. The food is not very tasty and not varied. In general, I do not recommend this hotel!!!
Service, food, staff, rooms, water park, beach, everything is on the level.

A great choice for a spontaneous holiday, all inclusive. The view inside the territory is excellent, everything is clean and beautiful. It's great to relax with children.
