A little 'tired', but very friendly and helpful staff. Not the best place for food if you're vegetarian, but pleasant. The beach and lagoon are delightful, and the pool areas are well presented and nice. If you're a meat-eater, you'll be happy with a massive selection every meal. Same if you want nothing more than salad, but if you're veggie or vegan, you might want to check out the menu first. Sauteed Vegetables are labelled "Healthy Option" every day. One positive, breakfast is great for the non-meaties ... Falafels are as good and fresh here as most places in Egypt, so fill up in the morning and you'll be fine.

The biggest gripe is the WiFi. 'Free' is available very intermittently in reception only. In fact it's so bad, you can buy an upgrade for 500EGP for 5 days, but even this is not always reliable ... The upgraded WiFi does tend to work everywhere in the hotel (inc your room) although comically is not so good in reception.

Our room is nice, if dated, and it pays not to examine the workmanship too closely. I could post pics of a very dangerous broken electrical socket, a fridge that didn't work (fixed on request), a broken sliding balcony door handle (fixed immediately), peeling paintwork on the balcony rail and grouting in the bathroom that looks like my mum did it (and she doesn't grout), but I won't.

The gym is good - lots of bikes etc and there's a squash and tennis court.

We paid not too much for a week away and whilst I would express surprise that this is a "Hilton", overall I'm not disappointed. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised at how relaxing the week has been so far and I'd probably recommend the hotel to someone looking for a quiet week away.

Even the Anamacion haven't been too annoying.
