I visited this hotel 21.12.2024 to 03.01.2025 (14 nights) and had a very positive overall experience. It's now my new favorite hotel after travelling to Egypt for 20+ times. I went with my father and we had one room (twin, with 2 decent single beds). It was an excellently compact hotel design that seemed to attract mostly German tourists but there was a bit of everything else too. I made some new acquaintances from Poland, Czechia, Germany, France, the US, Colombia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Egypt and Italy. The Cons first: *Some guests I talked to had rooms overlooking the street said the street noise was protrusive and common - but honestly, I think they just should have asked for a room change. *The corollary of the hotel being compact is that it can get a tad crowded if you're looking for a more private place for your sunbeds. One can look at the pictures themselves and judge if it's too crowded for them or not. We initially felt like it was - but soon we got used to it and didn't mind it anymore. *We were initially given a sub-par room (number 438) where "a view" of a towering wall and food smells coming from below (the kitchen presumably) really ruined the whole balcony experience, but we were promised a better room next day, we changed the room that afternoon and it was very good. It was a nice 3rd floor room (number 303) with good elevator access, decent view over the courtyard near the reception and we still had 13 nights to stay. In Egypt, I've come to realize it's often necessary to ask for a room change and it's often offered free of charge, as it was in our case - so it was okay for us. *The drinks at night clubs could be way too expensive so it's better to avoid buying many drinks there. *The AI bars only open as late as 11. As I was always used to them opening at 10, it was a slight disappointment but I guess it's alright. The Pros: *Friendly and helpful hotel staff *Very friendly and active animators / entertainers *Plenty of activities to partake in daily, including petanque / bocce, darts, water aerobics, morning stretching, evening program, volleyball. There was also a gym, a beauty salon, a spa, a paid restaurant and a paid bar ifn case you wanted to change things up a bit. They also had a clinic. Further, the animators would offer to bring guests to a night club about every other night (the ticket and the transport wasn't very expensive). *Excellent (including pureed) soups and generally good food with decent variety. It does of course have some repetition but there's still enough diversity. *Very compact design, with everything easily in reach. *Decent rooms (most of them). Not necessarily the newest but not in a bad state. *Nice sandy beach with few stones in the water (no corral) and a good depth curve. *The pool is heated during winter months and cleaned every night. *The Volleyball court is shielded from most of the wind, unlike most other hotels. *The hotel is located on a semi-busy street which can b
