A quiet, cozy hotel for a relaxing holiday by the sea, on the first line. A beautiful room in the far building, next to the least crowded part of the beach, sandy seabed, convenient access for those who cannot swim, beautiful corrals "within walking distance" with an abundance of fish of the most fantastic colors (at low tide, if the sea is calm, you can walk to the coral and observe underwater life without diving). The room had: TV, mini-bar, safe, hairdryer, shower and bathroom. A kettle is provided upon request at the reception, but they do not issue irons and ironing boards. If you don't have a travel iron with you, then only the laundry room. The cost of washing 1 T-shirt or dress in 2023 was 30 pounds (1 dollar). During my stay at the hotel (September 3-14, 2023 and September 7-20, 2024), the hot water was not turned off once. The room was cleaned every day, there were no complaints about the cleaners. It's all clear. Apparently, it helped that I left a tip to the cleaner every day ($1).
I really liked the beach – sandy, clean, in general, the territory of the hotel is well-groomed, containers for separate garbage collection are placed everywhere.
There is a swimming pool, a spa center (very good), a diving and extreme sports center (kitesurfing, etc.), there are three bars (by the pool, on the shore and in the main building) and three restaurants (main, All inclusive, fish menu and, it seems, Italian, also with an order from the menu). I can't say anything about the bars – I ordered only tea there, and in the restaurant I ate only mostly for vacationers on the All-inclusive system. I really liked the food – varied, for every taste, in large quantities, no queues. I must say right away: I have a problematic gastrointestinal tract, I can't eat everything and am prone to intestinal infections. There were no problems at this hotel. What I liked: the water for tea and instant coffee here is not from a cooler (90 degrees), but boiled, safe (there are thermopots).
The hotel has wonderful and unobtrusive animation: every evening, at 20.00 or later, a children's disco (although the music is the same, I'm tired), and then either an oriental show with a magnificent tanura dance, or a fire show, or a circus show, or a quiz like "Guess the melody". There's something new every day. I liked the tradition of congratulating the birthday people of the whole hotel at dinner. My new friend, whom I met there, had a birthday while staying at the hotel. She was presented with a cake with sparklers, sang Happy birthday in several languages, it was nice.
The hotel's guests are mainly Germans and Poles, there are French, Czechs, Egyptian Arabs, tourists from Russia (these are mainly middle–aged people and young couples with children). There was no negative attitude towards our tourists either from the staff or from vacationers from other countries. Everyone is very friendly to each other.
Safaga is conveniently located in terms of excursions: exactly in the middle of the way from Hurghada to Luxor, so it is convenient to travel from here to Luxor and Dendera. I went there and there in 2024. I am very happy with my stay at this hotel. In both 2023 and 2024, I really rested, relaxed, and recovered. This has not happened to me for a long time. Thanks to the hotel.

A good hotel for the price / quality ratio: friendly staff, varied and delicious food, although without frills, a good beach. But there is something to work on (please take my criticism not as nagging, but as friendly advice to the management): there is no toilet on the beach, the changing room does not close, sometimes there is an oil film on the water.

We are currently vacationing in this hotel, that's right, the rooms are old, relatively clean, when we checked in, we pointed out all the flaws, fixed everything, of course we were waiting for a tip, but we ignored it. The food is good, the chef himself oversees the process of distributing food, asks for the opinion of vacationers. The waiters are very helpful and polite. The beach is gorgeous, the sea is just a dream. The beach worker is also very cool, if you give him a dollar, the next day he will put it in the best place, right by the sea. I was upset by a very unpleasant incident, my sister cut herself on corals, we went to the medical office, which was very advertised by the Russian nurse Elena, promised to do everything for free if anything ..., we addressed the problem, the nurse had her blood pressure and temperature measured, did something else, and told her to bring insurance, at the same time they did not let her out of the room, I brought the insurance, and then, of course, it was a big surprise for us that it turned out that our Russian insurance Agreement was not valid, and they immediately began to extort $ 50 from us without releasing us, well, of course, we were not going to give anything, because no medical care was refused, especially the alleged nurse behaved badly. Elena, she began to intimidate us, to urge us to have a conscience, that we simply had to pay, we said that there was no money, she began to speak bluntly, let the relatives transfer. In the end, we gave up, we didn't want to spoil the rest, and we fought with big male doctors, we gave away 20 old dollars (they are not listed there). So we warn you, no one will provide you with free medical care at the hotel, the mafia is working there, led by Elena. 🤣
