Beautiful and very well maintained resort. Lots of great swimming pools. Beach is small, but the pier and reef snorkeling was superb. Staff were [with one exception] absolutely fantastic. Rooms are a little dated, and could do with renovation soon - I imagine they'll come to that after they open the new rooms they're building in the adjacent plot. Food was excellent - not cheap, but excellent quality ingredients very well prepared. Kids club was good - but we were there over the half-term school holiday in the UK, and frankly I think they were struggling with the extra numbers at times. If we were paying the 'rack rate' for our room $1200p/n, then the hotel would probably deserve 4 stars. But because of the current situation in Egypt (and now, in particular, in Sharm El Sheikh) prices are very good, we were paying well under half of the rack rate - making this hotel a bargain and fully deserving 5 stars.
