The hotel needs renovation! The smell of neglect, inter-tile dirt, dilapidated furniture, sockets torn from the walls and dangling "on snot", broken tiles by the pools, reusable plastic glasses in bars - these are not 5 or even 4 stars. Fortunately, the administration is aware of this - during our stay, about half of the rooms were already closed for renovations. To some extent, I think we were lucky - there was no competition for sun loungers, for access to the sea from a pontoon, for places in a restaurant. Because the hotel is very large by design, and I can hardly imagine what would be there if it worked at full capacity. Even with an incomplete load, we were faced with the fact that in order to go down into the sea you need to stand in line, that you need to wait in the lobby until the restaurant is a little free.

Further. The hotel has its own peculiarity - its location. It is located on a rather steep slope. This is a plus and a minus at the same time. The plus is that the buildings are built in a cascade and almost all sea view rooms (mainly those on the second floor). The downside - if you are an elderly person with problem joints, if you have a small child who needs to be carried in a stroller, even if sedentary, if you are overweight or have pressure and shortness of breath - get ready to test the stairs at least 3 times a day. And given that Egypt is still hot, this is a serious challenge. On the other hand, those who are determined to relax in order to acquire better physical shape are very good here - apart from the numerous steps and the sea with a strong current, most of the restaurant menu dishes can be classified as dietary - stewed, boiled, steamed, and many vegetables. And delicious juices - guava and mango.

I personally caught Wi-Fi throughout the hotel - from the main building to the pontoon. With good quality. Is free.

There are no comments on the work of the staff - all issues were resolved promptly, professionally and kindly. I also liked that the cleaning of the rooms was always unnoticed - I don't know how they were timing. But unlike Turkey, no one has ever disturbed us here, especially in the afternoon. And I also appreciated the unobtrusiveness of the services of the spa center, photographers, diving center and tour desk. They are always close at hand and within sight, but do not hang over you three times a day.

The area is well appointed. Moderately green - as much as possible in Egypt. There are many hoopoes. At night they saw either owls or owls. In the evenings, pink geckos can be seen on the ceiling near the light bulbs. There were no mosquitoes. But there were annoying flies. Especially on the beach. The advantage of the hotel is its "own" live coral reef with beautiful fish.
