It's a small but very pleasant hotel. Of course, they ask for "chocolates" at every step, but the rest left pleasant impressions. The food is great, everything is very tasty and varied. The beach is from the neighboring hotel, a 5-minute walk, there are sun beds and towels. There is a reef right on the beach, many different fish and other beautiful marine life. It takes 10 minutes by taxi from the hotel to the center, but even without leaving the hotel, there are places for walking. The main thing is not to settle for a room on the 1st floor, it is better to give 5 dollars and ask for 2-3, so that there is no high humidity in the room.

It was a nice hotel, small, cozy, the style was not modern, that's why it was chosen, clean, cleaned daily, the staff was excellent, the cook was great, all the food was excellent, mostly Italians from the guests. Of the cons, the animation is not very good during the day, the guests are invited in the evenings, the renovation is no longer fresh, there is something to complain about if you really want to, but they gave us a wonderful room, they don't have their own beach, they take a bus to the beach in another part of the embankment, and it's terrible - this is the main disadvantage. That's why we walked across the street for $5 a day. In total, for 4 norms.

In general, the hotel is not bad, the food is very tasty, quite diverse, 90% of the guests are Italians, so the food is more aimed at them - pizza, pasta, lasagna - all this is available every day.
More about beaches:
Since the hotel is not on the first line, they have to rent a beach near the Marina hotel(...), walk to it for about 25 minutes (across the entire embankment), there is a shuttle service.
BUT I strongly advise against this beach if you come to see the fish and corals. People literally walk up to the buoys (knee-deep), there's a paddling pool, drinks are paid, there are no fish, no corals either
We went to the beach of the Gafi hotel: opposite our hotel there is a gate for access to the embankment, then there are 3 options:
1. Talk to the guards who stand at all entrances to the beach and try to negotiate for money (they asked for 15 dollars for two people to enter the beach)
2. Go into the brazen one as if everything is as it should be (or go through while no one sees), the option is so-so, because you will most likely be kicked off the sun beds, everyone has different towels and bracelets, but if you just want to swim, the option is normal
3. Go far to the right behind the Novotel hotel, there will be a public beach, the entrance for two is $ 2, the place is so-so, but you can more or less safely throw off your things to walk along the beach to the beach where the corals are more beautiful and explore everything there) you will definitely not be driven out of the water
, I advise to buy a phone case for underwater photography in Russia, we also brought fins, masks and wetsuits from home (they give out bad hydrants and fins on excursions)
Animation is weak: 2 girls and a guy
We have never seen children during all 9 days of rest, 2 hours before departure, 2 families with children stopped by the airport.
When you go to Egypt, you need to be psychologically prepared for the fact that everywhere they will want to deceive you, EVERYWHERE, on the first day, different people wanted to deceive us 4 times
From the tips: it is better not to withdraw money from the ATM at the hotel (30% commission), if you leave the hotel and walk 100 meters to the right there will be a 24-hour bank where the commission is much lower (the hotel guard told us that the bank was closed, but it was not true))
The rooms are normal, we lived in a room with a balcony, there were no problems with hot water, and there were no problems with room cleaning.
If you want peace, comfort and the atmosphere of Italy and the East mixed together, the hotel will suit you)
