Great people, a great hotel, and exceptionally good food. The hotel is an excellent choice for combining snorkeling with relaxing beach time. The beautifully maintained gardens provide pleasant views, and the pool bar is a wonderful place to unwind. One of the advantages of the hotel is its compact layout. The amenities are all conveniently close by, so there is no need for long walks around the resort. We traveled with our daughter, and she had a fantastic time. The aquapark, located about 10 minutes away by shuttle bus, is excellent and definitely worth a visit. A tip for future guests: bring flexible water shoes, as the ground can get very hot, and you'll need to walk up to the water slide tower with the floaties. The hotel is very well maintained, and the main restaurant offers a great variety of dishes at every meal. There is a break in food service between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm in all the restaurants with exception of the pool bar which keeps seeving drinks, which is understandable and did not cause us any inconvenience. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this hotel to families, couples, and anyone looking for a relaxing beach holiday with excellent food and service.

I have mixed feelings about the hotel. After we got home, I waited a few days to reassess my thoughts, but in the end, I came to the conclusion that we most likely wouldn’t choose this hotel again. All in all, we had a nice vacation, but that was mostly thanks to the surroundings, the beach, and some of the staff members. The hotel’s biggest draw is its location right on the beach and the sandy, gently sloping shore, which is an absolutely great choice for families with children. We also liked that the hotel wasn’t just one huge building, but rather many small, single-story buildings surrounded by an incredibly beautiful garden. The quality of food is actually nice, we loved the food (except the soups). The staff—especially those working in the main restaurant and the pool bar—are very friendly, particularly with the children. What struck us as odd upon arrival was that, although we’ve vacationed in Egypt many times, this was the first time there was no staff member there to greet us. We had to carry our luggage all the way to the front desk by ourselves, where it took nearly another half hour to get our rooms, even though we didn’t arrive for early check-in. Unfortunately, the staff clearly favors German guests. This is especially true of the reception staff and those working on the beach. I had a few questions before my arrival, so I emailed the front desk, but never received a reply. Since we also speak German, I wrote my questions in German (from a different email address) and received detailed information within 24 hours. During that week, I got up several times to watch the sunrise on the beach, and we could see the staff reserving the front-row lounge chairs for the German guests, who typically didn’t even arrive until after 11 a.m. I've read this in several reviews, and I have to agree that it's very strange that a 5-star hotel charges for so many things even with an all-inclusive package—the minibar in the room, smoothies on the beach, ice cream at the seaside restaurant, etc. What’s even more troubling is that when I went down to the front desk the day before my departure to pay for the extra charges before my early morning departure, the copy of the receipt we had signed wasn’t attached to the bill, even though I asked for it so I could verify the amount. Even though they had billed us for everything and we had paid it, at the very last moment of our early morning departure, they ran after us down the street to say that they had forgotten to add certain items to the bill and that we would have to pay again. Of course, with the taxi waiting for us, we didn’t get into an argument and paid another bill for the items we hadn’t noticed earlier. Compared to our previous experiences in Egypt, we were also surprised that the beach bar doesn't serve cocktails, only soft drinks, so if people relaxing on the beach want a cocktail, they have to go up to the pool bar.

Excellent staff... Perfect service.. All what you expect to have very nice vacation

We were very satisfied with everything, especially the staff. They were helpful and cheerful. The food was delicious. We highly recommend this place. Thank you very much, and we hope to return many more times.
