A club-type hotel for adults. At first, its small territory was alarming, but in practice there was enough space for everyone and everywhere. Restaurants, swimming pools, decent service. The room is spacious, with everything you need. The water, soda, and drinks in the minibar are constantly replenished. I personally don't really like an open storage system.: There is one sliding door on the three-section cabinet. But it might be okay for someone.
The beach is small, but well-equipped and quite spacious. One of the disadvantages is the shallow sea, which is especially evident at low tide. And the yacht parking is nearby: oddly enough, they do not pollute the beach at all, but they block the view))) It's not critical, but it might be important to someone.
Well, one more plus / minus (for whom?) is active animation. Someone wrote that it was not enough. It's too much for me (at least with the volume))). But the guys are all friendly and welcoming.
In general, I liked the hotel as a whole. The rest is comfortable, the audience is adequate)))

Egyptian 5 stars for those over.. or a hotel for smokers
1. Design and atmosphere: Modern design, but the atmosphere is not cozy - minimalistic and rather cold. Of course, there are questions about the design - for example, about the abundance of artificial flowers ... it's kind of weird for 5 stars)) For some reason, artificial roses are worn out by time on every table at breakfasts and lunches. You know where we're taking them. The very case when it is better not to "beauty" in this way) There is a nightclub (all drinks are all inclusive), but it usually has 8 people or even less, so it doesn't work until 4 o'clock as stated)) and also, almost everywhere you will be stoned, get ready) smoking is everywhere here - smoking on the street, smoking at lunch and dinner, They smoke on the beach, they smoke cigarettes and pipes, they even smoke in the lobby bar! Plus or minus, you can decide for yourself, but the hotel is mostly 50+. There are almost no Russians, the main contingent is Germany, Poland, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic. For us, the animation was normal, as it were, but unobtrusive. In the evenings, the show (mostly songs and dances), often poorly singing people are put on stage. Wednesday is Day off. The best shows are on Thursday and Friday (better than in the paid neverland).
2. Rooms: spacious, comfortable enough, all necessary amenities are present. The furniture is ordinary, it looks cheap - Hoff style. Despite the fact that the hotel claims to be a real 5-star type, the cleaning is purely in the Egyptian style. They'll put all your bubbles in a row and wave a rag (literally). The area around the sofa and in all corners is historically untouched. Among the disadvantages: there is no sound insulation, the refrigerator is noisy, loud and the water in the toilet is being filled for a long time (like they came to fix it, the result is zero!), there is no spoon for shoes, the hair dryer is screaming, the bathroom door has already exfoliated from humidity, pillows and mattress - One of the advantages: a big TV, the Russian channel TNT. Daily replenished minibar (including 2 cans of beer), fruit in the room on the day of check-in. If you want to be able to bask in the sun from the balcony, then insist on rooms >2000. For 20 magic dollars, they checked into the room 4 hours earlier (at 10:00, instead of the prescribed 14:00).
3. Meals: something new appears on the menu every day, but the main assortment remains unchanged, everything is quite good, but without enthusiasm. They don't know how to cook meat at all, they even cook poorly) From time to time there is a barbecue on the street, then for lunch or dinner - the cradle is normal, the burger patty is too, the shrimp manage to cook in such a way that the shell cannot be peeled off the meat - it is impossible to eat. And, of course, the shrimps are not peeled from g ... For breakfast there are freshly squeezed juices, the rest of the time - packaged. Ala kart once for free (pre-selected fish or meat). The steak was good, some white fish was normal, the desserts were disgusting, and the dining room on the second floor above the main restaurant was better. In general, the cuisine is not high everywhere, of course, but it is quite good for Egypt, you will not stay hungry. Anyway, they feed and water us, one way or another, almost around the clock. I won't say about the quality of alcohol, my husband only drank beer (which was either from a bottle or suddenly draught). Beer of the "go" category. We saw how the wine from the bags is bottled and then they are proudly poured into glasses - these are 5 stars))
4. Staff: polite enough. On the downside: they take glasses and cups with their fingers, without observing basic etiquette and hygiene. They are lazy at the reception, they work only for money. As long as you pay for a quick check-in, they work. As soon as you want to enroll in a la carte, you are either told that you need to come tomorrow morning or even sent to an online appointment via the application.
5. Spa area: this is, of course, a separate conversation ... if you have any questions about the spa, then the reception will tell you that they have an indirect relationship to the hotel and only rent the premises. I don't know if this is true or not, but I highly recommend not to visit! Ala "gift certificate" for 30 minutes of sauna is perceived by the spa staff not as an opportunity to demonstrate their services and try to earn money on massages, but as a corvee. They will try to record you as soon as possible in a week))) bargain, since you've already decided to take advantage of it, and demand the day and time you need! Please know that the "gift" certificate includes a Finnish sauna, hammam and Jacuzzi (no one will tell you about this). By the way, no one washes the Jacuzzi and does not change the water - the bottom is all covered with slime! To massage my feet, the masseuse took wet towels used by someone else, deftly twisted a roller out of them and put it under my feet.... This is all you need to know about the spa so that you don't go there, waste your time, or spoil your mood.
6. Location: Convenient, close to the airport and main attractions. There are souvenir shops and pharmacies around. In pharmacies, the price is x3 from the official one, but if you do not buy directly, but if necessary, then the price is even x3 normal (Moscow). If anything, Antinal from poisoning - it did happen to me (provided the food is only available at the hotel). Don't waste your time, don't go shopping near the hotel. If you have enough patience, you will bring down the price exactly to the one in the two-story shopping center next door (you will leave the hotel and find it immediately to your left on the other side of the road). The shopping center operates according to the fixed price system, with blue spa bracelets and a vending machine at the checkout for another minus 10% of the posted price. The shopping center sells souvenirs, sweets, cosmetics, dietary supplements, and clothes (on the second floor). By the way, if you go on safari, it's also easier to buy arafats at the shopping center. Payment in dollars, rubles, pounds, any money at all) You can even make a transfer to the savings account))) no internet connection for translation?) They'll give it to you there))
Minuses:
1. The relaxation areas by the pool and on the beach can be crowded during peak hours
2. In the only heated pool, the water temperature is different every day. Sometimes it "goes", sometimes it's not clear what they consider heating, but in any case, there is never "fresh milk", and in January, oh, how you count on normal heating. By the way, there is no heating in the indoor pool.
3. Due to the peculiarities of the building and location, by 4 p.m. the entire territory of the hotel is in the shade. The same fate befalls the entire beach (the shadow falls from a nearby abandoned building). By the way, the neighboring white beach 4* has a much longer sun on the beach.
4. There are two abandoned buildings in the neighborhood.
5. Waiters do not know that cups and glasses are not served with all five, there are no basic concepts of etiquette and hygiene.
6. Dishes are poorly washed. There are dirty glasses, cups and cutlery in the canteens. In general, it's time to change all the dishes - they're all worn out, and the seams on the beer mugs are rough.
7. In the tea set in the room, Lipton tea without individual packaging also looks strange. Not that it's 5 stars, but it's unacceptable in principle - it's not hygienic.
8. No one will tell you about this upon check-in, but at the towel dispenser or at the beach boys, you can ask for a "do not disturb" sign so that you will not be bothered by all kinds of tour vendors and not only those who work on the beach.
9. The obligatory paid-for Neverland show is another attraction... at the entrance you will be presented with a synthetic national Arab hoodie with the words "this is a gift", but we still remember how much we were charged for this "gift"... then they drive you through the gate and do whatever you want... if you want, buy all sorts of things in the shopping corridor, if you want go to the end and manage to find a free place to enjoy a paid dinner. Yes, someone will sing and dance on stage, we were lucky - they even gave acrobats)) the food is like food - the hotel is the same and even better, with the condition that you can choose in the hotel, but not at the super show Neverland!) in general, I don't know who might like it... especially considering how much we paid for it without fail!
In general, the hotel is normal. In my opinion, this is a solid Egyptian four, but not 5. And in the 15 years that we haven't been to Egypt, he's certainly "prettier")) this had never happened before in "their" 5*) but we won't go to this hotel for this money anymore, it's not worth it!

Everything about the Egyptians, service, food, recreation, rooms - everything is at the highest level. The sea is 300 meters from the farthest room. 4 swimming pools, 4 restaurants. 3 bars. Alcohol is really so-so, especially strong, but cocktails are fine. But the Biblio Globe upset me. Instead of Aeroflot, they flew to Egypt with Russia. At the same time, they found out about the airline's change before departure. Accordingly, the plane, the service is worse and no one has returned the money. And the tickets were taken on Aeroflot.

There were no special delights in the restaurants. But everything is high-quality and delicious.

Among the disadvantages, I think the waiters who serve drinks during the day and in the evenings, while you don't give them tea, forget about you.

October 2024. Do not overpay for the "sea view"!!! He's gone. I booked an expensive Elite sea view room - there was a deception at the reception, then they slipped another room, then they offered to check into another hotel. All offers were cheaper than what I paid for. No apologies or explanations. I was surprised by a Russian-speaking employee, Dina, who brought a room 1.5 times smaller in size than the one booked and lied to me right in my eyes that it was Elite. This is the first time I've met such lies. As a result, we were settled in the Elite sea side view (I "presented" the hotel with $ 100). No compensation, no apologies. The reception desk is full of "0". Now for the hotel. The condition of the room is good, cleaning without comments. The adjustment of the conde raises questions. The beach is sandy, you can go without slippers. There are fish at the pier. The depth depends on the tide. The water in the sea is significantly warmer than in the pools - everyone noted this. Animation is normal. The food for Egypt is not bad. There was even salmon for breakfast, which is rare for the heirs of the pyramids)) strong alcohol sucks. His wife called whiskey "a preparation for whiskey." Of the wines, only white was normal. At first, the pink was normal, but then it deteriorated. There are not many adequate waiters. I tipped every time (2 dollars - 100 eg.pounds) - this did not always affect the service. Even, on the contrary, if you tipped after the first delivery of alcohol, then you may be forgotten. Conclusion: do not take an expensive room and do not tip immediately, do not listen to noodles at the reception, and so you can relax))

This is a great hotel. I liked everything. Excellent new and spacious rooms. They clean it up carefully. Everything is clean and tidy. The food is great. The choice is good. There are 4 restaurants: European, Oriental + seafood, Asian, and "a la carte". The service is good. The drinks are of high quality. There is a gym with all the most necessary equipment. Tennis court. There is an opportunity to play football and basketball. Of course, volleyball. The animation is not intrusive.
Of the cons:
The territory is not very large (despite this, there is a tennis court).
The coast is very gentle, which makes the entry into the sea more deeply reminiscent of the Sea of Azov.
The sea area at the hotel is not very large in itself.
Yachts and boats graze nearby, which spoil the view.
There are no slides.
There is not a very large assortment of cocktails, which is familiar to the staff.

We rested here on the May holidays of 2024. The hotel itself is not bad, the rooms were excellent, although we took a deluxe with a sea view, but due to the size and architectural design of the hotel itself, there was no sea view. Only a couple of rooms actually have them, and so the "sea view" turns into essentially a "swimming pool view". The service is normal. The staff is friendly enough. Food, as in all of Egypt, you can only celebrate pizza. It was not bad, but the rest was as usual and classic with funny translations of dishes into Russian. There are three restaurants in the hotel. The main one is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The second one is above the first one and opens for dinner. And there is an absolutely strange restaurant where you can sign up once for the whole vacation. It is free, but you need to choose only one set (salad, appetizer and main course) from the two offered, but in the end the food in the main restaurant is more edible. The exclusivity of this restaurant has never been understood by us. The concept is surreal. The beach is small and the sea was constantly pouring so much that you were actually splashing in a paddling pool. But there are already three kinds of beautiful fish right at the pier! Stone fish, lionfish and balloon fish! Be vigilant, what seems to you like a stone can send you to eternal rest. But the sun beds are very comfortable, there are also ottomans with them, which were very useful. In general, Egypt is Egypt. And, of course, discos up to 23 excite with their concept. Either a badly singing woman will be hired, then a clone of Michael Jackson will dance, then an obviously dangerous fire show will be staged! Of course, there was entertainment, there's nothing to say. If you are not a fan of loud music and dubious rooms, but like a relaxing holiday and an early rise, then I do not recommend this wonderful hotel. :)

AN AMAZING VACATION!
I had a rest in this wonderful hotel from 07/25 to 08/06.
We arrived at the hotel around 10 a.m., our luggage was taken away, bracelets were put on, and then we went to have breakfast and walk around the territory while waiting for check-in. Fortunately, the room was ready by 11 a.m. and at 12 we were on the beach and swimming in the clear beautiful sea
Separately, I would like to say a big thank you to the girl Kristina, who helped solve any issues, was very polite and always wondered if our vacation was going well, if there was enough in the room, etc.
Very cool girls and boys are animators. They are always Mega positive, smiling. Special respect to Valeria 🔥 such energy and dedication is very cool
Meal:
- We visited all the bars and restaurants, which, despite the relatively small territory of the hotel (which I generally consider only a plus), were quite a lot.
- The food is different every day, very tasty, I especially liked it at Kulin's restaurant, and the most delicious drinks were at the reception bar
- And as for drinks, wherever you are, be it a beach, a restaurant, a pool, the waiters will always bring everything for you
They almost never went for anything themselves
The staff is all very polite, courteous and friendly.
This is not the first time I have been on an all-inclusive vacation, and in general I am an experienced traveler, but I am 100% satisfied with my stay at this hotel and would love to return to it again and of course I am ready to recommend it to my friends and acquaintances

I don't understand at all who calls this hotel the best.... This was the first visit to Hurghada and I think it will be the last. At a meeting with a representative of the tour operator, I was asked how I liked the hotel, I replied that I did not like it, to which I was told how I might not like it, because it is one of the best in Hurghada)! The hotel is 16+, in fact it turned out to be 65+. The food is not always delicious, I write only my opinion, there are very few fruits, despite the fact that we went out in mango season, there were never mangoes, but there were always unripe melons. We had dinner several times in Alaska, we liked the food and the service there, although the choice is small. I give four stars for the friendly and diligent staff, cleaning in our room was 5.

We were at the hotel in early March (the coldest period in Hurghada). The sea is about 22 degrees. It's not hot 24-27 degrees. There are two heated pools-one on the street, one in the building is open until 22 o'clock, the lighting is turned off in the evening. The food is fine, do not be lazy to go around all three buffet restaurants on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors, you will find something delicious for you. Service -drinks are brought quickly. Room cleaning is fine. The staff is friendly and friendly. At the reception, Russian-speaking Dina is always friendly and welcoming. It always helps.
What needs to be considered. The hotel is small. There are tides in the sea - the difference between min and max is about 1 meter, given that the beach is flat, this is significant. Additionally, you have to walk 50 meters. Sun beds on the beach had to be occupied early in the morning. But, if you don't act up, the hotel is good and located on a shopping street, you can "shop" in the evening.

From July 4 to 11, we rested at the best hotel in Hurghada, Pickalbatros Blu spa 16+
Said Ibrahim met us at the reception, I want to express my great gratitude to him, we were settled promptly, in two good double rooms, the next day Said offered us absolutely free of charge to go to the Royal Suite, we fell in love with this room and the remaining 6 days we lived in it like in paradise.
Everything in the room is at the highest level👌🏻
Sea view.
The hotel has 4 restaurants, 3 of them are open every evening, 1 Ala-karta restaurant in Golden, it needs to be booked one day in advance. The bars are open on a regular basis. The staff is very polite☝🏻
The sea is very warm and clean, it is incredible to swim in it, tides and tides occur periodically, but this does not interfere with comfortable swimming. There are two waiters on the beach, special thanks to Hashem, who came up to us on the beach several times every day and brought all the drinks.
The waiter Ibrahim Almadawi works in Alfredo's restaurant, he is very attentive and sensitive, knows his job well, very prompt, on the first day we made an order from him and from the next day our table with drinks was waiting for us every breakfast, lunch and dinner, at check-out he offered to take a pizza box with him, and they cooked for us pizza 🤤of course we did not refuse)
We would like to thank Yusuf, the room was cleaned every day, he cleaned everything very carefully and it was when it was convenient for us that we came from the sea to an absolutely clean room 😉
Every day from morning until late at night you will find something to do, from 10 a.m. the animation team starts working, bocce, dancing, stretching, darts, aqua aerobics (we got to it 3 times, led by Nanas and Hossam, very good guys, funny, we laughed all the time. Thanks a lot to the entire animation team: Tez, Hossam, Nanas, Tanya, Nastya and Masha. The guys entertain all the guests of the hotel all day and evening🫶🏻
Every evening the guys rock up on the evening shows 🔥
In 7 days we got to a foam party, a fruit festival,
Holy party, pool party and karaoke night🥰
Every day from 21.30-22.30 various shows take place, from 23.00 to 02.00 an awesome and incendiary disco takes place in the Golden lounge, thanks to DJ Ayman, I bought many tracks for myself and now I listen constantly
For the first time, I hugged the entire animation team, the DJ and the waiter at the restaurant goodbye🫶🏻

We had a vacation with my wife in July 2024. I will not describe the advantages, everything is in the reviews above. All the advantages were crossed out by one bold minus on the day of departure.
We ordered an iron in the room. They brought it the next day, when we were not in the room, we were at the sea. When we arrived at the room, the iron and ironing board were already in the room. Taking the iron in our hands, we saw that it was all broken in the literal sense of the word (photo attached). The sole was black and cracked in half. When trying to pour water into the iron, it just poured out through the crack. It was simply dangerous to use an iron, because you could get an electric shock.I took a picture of the iron and took the photo to the reception with a request to change it to another one. They promised to do it with a smile. A day passed-silence. The next day I went again. They said again that they would change it. Another day and silence. Then I called the floor cleaner to the room and asked him to change the iron. He took the broken iron and brought another one. It's just as dirty, but with a whole sole. My wife ironed the dress and we returned the iron back to the same cleaner an hour later. 8 days after that, we flew home.
At the reception, when we handed over the room, they printed out a bill for $ 100 with a sweet smile! And they told us what kind of iron we had broken!
I tried to explain to the employee that the iron was already brought to us in this condition and we have a photo to prove it. But, it's useless! The head of the hotel cleaning was called. Despite all our explanations through the translator, he stood his ground-it's our fault, we have to pay! We categorically refused to pay for outright fraud on the part of the hotel staff! A scandal was brewing. Our Russian-speaking guide, who helped us with the translation, called the owner of the hotel, Mr. Dia. After listening to our story, he told us to write an explanatory note in his name. That's what we did. Half an hour later, we were informed through the guide that the decision had been made in our favor and there was no need to pay anything.
A very unpleasant situation and a bitter aftertaste that crossed out the whole vacation.
Special thanks to the guide (the service is called something else with an English slant)Kristina, who acted as an intermediary in the translation from abusive Russian into English and back, as well as, in fact, our lawyer, and was very worried about this situation. Even more than my wife and I.
The main iron scammer's name is Mohammed, he's housekeeping(in charge of the cleaners) of the hotel.
I think, more precisely, I am sure that this iron wanders from room to room to perform such operations against gullible vacationers.Be vigilant!
And I want to tell the hotel management that such employees should be fired. Because of them and their fraud, the hotel's rating will drop.
I write as it was, without malice and fantasies. Be careful and have a good rest!

Overall, the hotel is lovely. Polite, considerate, friendly staff. They checked into the room immediately upon arrival at 8 a.m., which is much earlier than the check-in time (14.00), and immediately allowed to use the entire territory of the hotel (including all restaurants, bars, swimming pools). After renting out the room on the last day, they were also allowed to use all the amenities of the hotel (room extension was paid). The rooms are clean and comfortable, large TV, large shower room, comfortable bed. We had a good view of the pool and access directly to the sun beds. The pool is the cleanest, there was heated water in the pool outside, there was also a pool inside the hotel, the beach is clean, the sand is soft, the view is stunning, the water in the sea is transparent with small fish even near the shore. Good evening animation-contests, concerts, fire shows, in the afternoon they invite you to water aerobics, volleyball, darts, zumba, tennis. There is also an excellent spa and gym.
Regarding the food, everything was fine, there was always a choice of dishes for every taste. There are many meat dishes from beef and chicken, white fish, shrimp, squid. The bars also have a selection of cocktails, or cocktails on your own request. There was not enough variety in fruits, I would like a more exotic selection of fruits and berries (of the interesting ones there were only guava, canned pineapples and peaches, 1 time papaya and watermelon. The rest of the time there were bananas, apples, oranges, grapefruits). There was a choice of several restaurants for dinner. The most favorite restaurant in our opinion is the Blu Lounge - a pleasant atmosphere, beautiful restaurant design and an exquisite buffet, many thanks to the chefs and staff, it was incredibly pleasant to have dinner there!! In the golden lounge restaurant, the service was according to the A la carte concept upon reservation - in our opinion, the menu was very poor and the food was not impressive, despite the interesting interior of this restaurant (the steak was more like a chop in batter, but the veal was not bad). At Culina Restaurant, the food was similar to Alfredo's. I would like to see more diverse desserts, sponge cakes were not very good because of the specific cream, the most delicious were cottage cheese, mousse, tartlets with caramel. Having tried food in other places in Hurghada and on all possible excursions, the food at the hotel was the most delicious!
Special thanks to Lobby bar for delicious drinks, excellent service and a great mood!
I also wanted to diversify the selection of Ice Cream (ice cream) and make it available all day, the time frame for access to ice cream from 12 to 17 was not entirely clear)) based on the fact that we were absent from the hotel and were on excursions during the day. Ice cream is available around the clock in most Turkish hotels. many tourists love ice cream)) The hotel managers are also friendly, attentive, listen to guests and try to solve problems that arise.
We thank all the hotel staff for their hospitality!

I really didn't like this hotel. Don't waste your money. Let's start with the fact that very loud music is playing all day long and until 23.30. It's impossible to talk on the phone on the street, you can't hear anything. My Apple Watches constantly warned me that the sound level was dangerously loud.
About the kitchen. Very monotonous. Pizza and pasta, that's the whole set. One type of fish, often super overcooked, two types of meat. And that's it! Meat is almost always cooked terribly.
On the beach, the staff who should help rearrange the sun beds just sits in the shade and calmly looks at you when you are lying down, but to drive you off the sunbed at 18.00 to start cleaning the beach - they are right there. In general, we paid a lot of money, exchanged tickets and flew two days earlier, it was simply impossible to be in this "wonderful" place. Friends, I really do not recommend this place. For that kind of money, you can find super hotels in Hurghada and Sharma.

A very nice hotel. It was opened in 2022, so everything is new: furniture, dishes, bed, towels, bathrobes. The beach is sandy, fenced with nets from sharks. Wi-Fi catches everywhere, and on the beach too. Very good attitude towards Russians. Almost all the staff understand Russian well. There are good concerts in the evenings. The hotel is 16+, so no noisy kids, a very calm, respectable stay. I recommend

Initially, we planned to relax with friends with an adult company, so we were looking for 16+ or 18+ hotels and got to Albatross Blue. Well, the choice did not let us down! We had a rest for 8 nights here and in general the rest met our expectations very well. Now for the points)
Of the advantages:
1) Excellent service. Absolutely all employees are always friendly, in a good mood and ready to help with any request within the framework of their duties. Well, there are no issues with the service here.
2) The territory. It feels like the hotel is new, the parking lot, the pools, everything is super. Always and everywhere everything is clean, the guys quickly clean up any mess created by the guests. Even on the beach on the sand, cigarette butts, sunflower seeds, etc., have never been noticed, and as for the rooms, even more so.
3) Excellent "Ol inclusive". As for drinking, there are no problems buying in principle, you can always find something in any quantity. Unless some breaks between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner are made to wait, but still it is not critical, you can have a snack at the bar.
4) There is animation, entertainment, but without frills. I will not list everything, it is in the description of the hotel. But I think that after all, this hotel is much closer to a relaxing family vacation than a party. At 3-4 nights, everyone is already asleep and utter silence hangs over the hotel))
Of the cons:
1) I will return to entertainment more objectively, I am not a special fan of participating in all competitions, dancing on the dance floor, etc., so I wrote it down as a plus (both for myself) and a minus (more objectively), since for many visitors I want to relax more "movement", so I think the hotel should still to work on this, especially as for the evening-night, at 01.00 everything calms down, it's too early for an adult hotel))
2) While we were at the hotel, we can safely say that there was no sea due to the ebb tide, only at night the water returned, but no one would allow swimming at night (which is of course correct).
As a result, of course, I would recommend the hotel for those who want to relax in Hurghada and would love to return. Evaluate the pros and cons and decide which of the above is more important. Have a good rest, and the hotel will continue to develop!)

The food is monotonous.
A room with a sea view was booked, but it was given with a view of the hood or restaurant. We went to change rooms 3 times, as a result, more or less with a view of the sea, we were given only the next day.
I can praise the animation team, I give 2 stars only for them. Super guys and their lead

A nice new 16+ hotel, not a party, on the beach. The sea is very shallow in this place, you have to walk 40-50 meters from the shore to swim normally. Unobtrusive animators. Contingent: ≈40℅ Russians, ≈40℅ Germans, the rest are local, from England, Poland. There is a SPA center, several restaurants, and plenty of food. The room is cleaned every day.

A good hotel, which is called price - quality, service at a height, animation is not what usually happens in Egypt, but there was a fire show, and gymnasts, and live music, saxophone and much more. The entrance to the sea is sandy, good, it is possible without additional.you can come in, but everyone has their own diet, I personally did not have enough fruits and a variety of meat dishes
