It was a wonderful resort and would stay here if we ever return and will recommend it to anyone. It is so beautiful there, we are just sorry we didnt get to spend more time there. You cannot walk to anything outside the resort. They will arrange a taxi for you if you want to go somewhere. They provided a shuttle to the cruise terminal. Hakem at the front desk was awesome! He spoke really good English and helped us with everything we needed. We purchased the all inclusive package (which was not much money additional), and would recommend this. There were plenty of chairs to sit either by the pool or the ocean (at least when we were just there at the end of April). They did have some activities if you wanted to participate. It looked like the kids program was really good, though we dont have little ones. They kept everything so clean and beautiful. Lots of water sports that you could do or pay extra for. There was even horse back riding (extra charge) and a guy with a camel that came around for rides and pictures (for a cost, we paid $5 euro for pictures, that he took with our camera that turned out great)

Beach was one of the most amazing beaches I’ve been to in Egypt. It was a clear spotless sandy beach, surrounded by palm trees all over their long shoreline. Water is crystal clear, very convenient for all family members. Kids club was amazing, it operates from 8 am until 5 pm, it was very clean with nice activities for kids. Sara who is handling the club was lovely, she took care of the kids, and you can trust your kids are safe with her, while taking some alone time anywhere you want. Food was extremely great, in terms of variety and taste, chefs and waiters were very friendly and welcoming, providing an ultimate service to everyone. The F&B manager was ALWAYS helpful. You would always see him around the restaurant checking on everyone, he was so dynamic, making sure everybody is well served and happy. Animation team was very nice and spontaneous, although I don’t have a lot of interest in this area, but they were really nice and they understand very well how to interact with each guest. They were never too pushy, yet very encouraging, they provided a big variety of programs, from Aqua gymnastics, stretching class, mini disco for kids, entertainment shows. And all their activities were light, fun and enthusiastic.

Relaxing
A lovely hotel with very well kept grounds. The staff are extremely helpful my husband and I had a very relaxing time. The restaurant had a good menu choice I thought the food was really good. They gave speciality restaurants, the Asian and the Lebanese were very good, the Italian and the Greek, not so good. The Atrium Bar was very nice with a pianist and Johnny’s Bar had great atmosphere, the only downside was that you could smoke in Johnny’s Bar, it would have been so much better if it was non smoking as there was an outside area were you could go to smoke. Definitely worth upgrading to Club rooms to use The Terrace room for breakfast, it’s a very opulent room small and quiet with great service, you can also use the outside terrace which is lovely. You can also keep your room until 4pm which is really helpful. The hotel also runs a complimentary airport shuttle which was brilliant.
