A very good hotel, the rooms are well renovated, well cleaned. A beautiful sea with three types of entrance - sandy, from the pier, or from the lining of large stones. The reef is very good, there are a lot of fish, we saw moray eels, squid, stingray, huge flocks of small fish, it is very entertaining to swim. I really liked the animation, fans of various activities will not be bored: there are both sports and entertainment events for both adults and children. Also, every day the animation guys organize different shows with the participation of the audience, which is also a lot of fun. The staff is very friendly, the reception was always ready to help and resolve issues. The food is varied, for every taste. Among the disadvantages are the cutting of bracelets at late check-out, tasteless coffee and tea in the dining room (but you could go to the lobby bar and bring a good one), queues in the dining room, which generally move quickly and, if desired, you can not stand from the very beginning, but take only what you need). The disadvantages were not significant for me, because the trip was very bright and active. For those who do not come for a lazy beach holiday - a fairy tale. We participated in all the animation events and swam in the most wonderful sea, exploring its new inhabitants. I want to return to this place

I am vacationing in hotels, I would like to note that the hotel is not large, but cozy. 3 buildings with 6 floors each. The food in the restaurant is delicious, but not very diverse, but there is something for every taste. The room is very ordinary, clean, but tired of regular guests. Each room has its own balcony, most rooms have small balconies. The view from the balcony mostly opens to the sea, especially in the 2nd and 3rd buildings. The rooms are cleaned every day. You need to be prepared that the cleaner will come and offer to pay extra for room cleaning. The staff is friendly, as much as the Arab staff can be. The beach is good, there are a lot of sun loungers and umbrellas. The entrance to the sea is either sand or steps. The sea is clean, you can swim without slippers. There is a small coral reef, you can swim and watch with a mask. Dolphins periodically appear at the beach. The bottom is without hedgehogs. Drinks in the best Egyptian traditions, nothing special. Algukogol is not very good, apparently because there are not many drunk guests in the hotel. The territory is well-groomed, clean and tidy, even if it is not large. Everything is very compact, there is no need for a marathon for lunch or to the sea. There is a water park for children, a children's pool, and the sea near the shore is suitable. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the hotel, there are no obvious comments. I took off one star for the food, it's still worth working on the menu. But the fruits are great, watermelons, melons, bananas, dates.

We had a rest in July 2024. They settled in quickly, offered to upgrade the room category for $ 60.There is a small zoo and shops on the territory. The territory is adjacent to the Sphinx Hotel. The furniture in the rooms is a little tired, but it is clear that cosmetic repairs were made, so it was not so terrible for us to be in the room (but still, I wanted to update the furniture already)The staff cleans (change towels, put water (1.5 liters per room per day), make the bed) in the rooms only on request.For a tip of $ 1, they will make different figures out of towels, as a mini-gift to the guests. If we talk about food and restaurant, then there is a lot of choice.There was always a choice for our vacation:beef, chicken or fish, and 2-3 types of side dishes.There have always been dates, oranges, melons, bananas.A large selection of vegetables and salads, as well as pastries and cakes.There have always been 3 types of juice (they are, of course, highly concentrated, but if diluted with a little water, it will be just right), tea, coffee.There are various drinks in the lobby bar, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.You will definitely not stay hungry! The beach was our outlet.A large reef with fish.Be sure to take a case for underwater photography!Free sun beds could always be found.There are many "sellers" of different products, but if you tell them that you are not interested, then they do not fit later (this was the case with us). Animation is also present in this hotel.It starts working from 10:00 a.m. From that time on, music is played on the beach and sometimes there was water aerobics, darts and other entertainment. Free WiFi is only available in the hotel lobby, and it was only enough for WhatsApp correspondence.We bought an Orange SIM card, 40 gigabytes for 15 €, but in the end we were deceived and the Internet ended on the third day (the phone showed that the consumption was only 13 gigabytes).Therefore, immediately check on the spot, without leaving the SIM card rack. Now it's worth mentioning the main thing:if you need excursions, then do not buy hotel guides from your guides (our hotel guide intimidated us that we could not go on excursions without him, forced us to write a refusal from excursions, allegedly all our data would be transferred to the tourist police for information).We read about the excursions in advance, back in Russia, and have already booked from SamiTur.We took 3 excursions (Luxor, super safari, bathyscaphe and a sightseeing tour were given to us as a gift for free).Well done guys, excursions at very reasonable prices (the bathyscaphe at the hotel was offered to us for $ 25, we bought it for $ 8). In principle, we are happy with our vacation.You can come to this hotel and relax, but whether we would have returned or not is worth thinking about.
