We had a rest in March 2024
1) The territory of the hotel: large, beautiful.
There is a lot of greenery that is being watched. There are cleaners in the toilets around the clock all day. Mattresses are immediately served on the beach near the sea and sun loungers are helped to make up. There are a lot of free places, there is enough for everyone. A pier with a beautiful reef. There are a lot of fish, they are fed.
I'll try to attach a photo.
Super pesky sellers of all kinds of services work on the beach: from a beauty salon to excursions. They are suitable several times a day, even if you have already refused. So on the 5th day, it starts to get terribly annoying. But what can you do, Egypt has always been like this)
The pool is large, but without heating. It was critical in March(
2) maintenance, service.
There are a lot of staff. If you feed them with tips, they will run after you (Egypt has always been like this, it does not surprise us). the reception staff knows Russian, but poorly. That's enough to understand. And in general, English is the best option in this hotel: everyone understands it. In the main restaurants, they keep clean, try to quickly clean the dishes, bring drinks if desired.
3) Nutrition.
And although it can be said that "I did not come here to overeat," food is still important on vacation, when you are at the hotel all day and when you have paid for all inclusive.
In short, there were days when there was stupidly nothing to choose. The breakfasts are standard: omelette, pancakes, yogurt, different rolls, muesli with milk, toasts and various toppings for them. Fruit. Sausages, cheeses, potatoes. Drinks: powdered juices, coffee. There are fresh ones, but they are paid.
Lunches and dinners for an amateur. the food is empty of spices. Perhaps because the majority of vacationers are German pensioners. There were raw potatoes. There was wooden meat. There have always been jambs in cooking for 2 weeks.
And so - salads, sliced. That's how you look at it: there is a lot of food, but you start putting it on a plate and you come across the fact that it looks strange, I don't eat it at all, I've already tried it and I didn't like it. And as a result - half a plate for happiness to collect. For lunch, cream soups with crackers helped out.
there is a grill, pizza is made in the oven, and shawarma. But either they give out tiny portions, or you have to stand and wait for them to cook again. Everything is long and again creates a crush. In short, it's better to go to the beginning of lunch and dinner. While the seats are free, there is no one in the queue yet))
The space where people collect food from the buffet is small. People are stepping on each other. Bad layout. In addition, the concept of serving food creates artificial queues: pasta is cooked to your taste, meat is fried in front of you. They seemed to want the best, probably, but people line up in an endless queue because of this, thereby blocking access to clean plates and other dishes. There are tables in the same hall where people have already sat down. And you walk past them with this plate, or next to your table, sorry, there are someone's priests in line for a piece of meat. Well, it's just terrible. There are more people than places. Hoteliers need to find another room for the restaurant.

Great hotel. Mostly Germans. There is a Russian-speaking staff. But the most important thing is its own reef. There we saw a bunch of colorful fish, both large and small, and a moray eel, and rays, and even a turtle. This is not the case on many excursions to the sea. They feed you for 3 minutes, but you won't stay hungry. There are bars, there is not much animation.

We were in January 2022, the staff is just super, very polite, caring always and happy to help in everything. The food is varied, there was even sushi, but no more than 2 pieces in one hand (sushi is of course average, but it was still annoying that only 2 pieces could be taken). The rooms are very shabby, the pillows are wooden, you can only sleep on them while sitting, so we took decorative pillows that lie on the bed and slept on them. If you leave the tea, they clean up for 5, if not, then for three. The territory is very beautiful and large, but in winter there are very big winds and since the hotel is the first in line from the desert, there is a strong wind. We swam from a pontoon, beautiful fish, corals, the water is warm. I was surprised by the guide from biblio globus, his name was Honey, like, a very unpleasant type, when there was a meeting, he told everyone: and don't think to swear or quarrel with me, I'll arrange a "vacation" for you, whoever swears with me, then has a bad rest here, I'm in this hotel.I've been working for 15 years, keep in mind. Well, so-so beginning 😂 a very good guide Abdul and Inna. Also, Hani did not tell about all the excursions, but apparently only about those that he likes, he found out on the last day that it was possible to descend on a bathyscaphe to a depth of 7 meters, and Hani offered mainly Cairo and Safari tours. We went on a Safari tour, the price is $ 39 per person, full of bullshit, ATVs are killed, they make you wear helmets, the clasp of which is all loose and it can't even be fastened, I don't say anything about buggies, one name, only the third one got started. Special thanks to Marina, the guide there, she is a fire. In general, there is terrible dirt outside the hotel, the whole of Egypt is like this.
