Nice hotel but should of done my due dillegence ,nothing outside the hotel in the form of restaurants/ bars ,started out on bed & breakfast and then went to half board due to the above .The beaches either side of the hotel were like building sites and tried walking as far as we could go but were limited due to other hotels and security . Its been many years since i visited Egypt and i forgot that it can feel very isolating stuck in just the hotel grounds, the Mariner in Hurghuda broke one of the days up and is worth a visit 15 min taxi ride . Was mainly Russian German and french with a few brits.

This resort was beautiful and right on the Red Sea! The food options were great, and the chefs were always willing to take special requests for food. Pools were nice, rooms were very clean, and staff was incredibly helpful. Drinks were also very well made. One thing to note is wifi is only available in the main lobby area.

Excellent service 20/10- Sara on reception was the most attentive worker we have ever come across always making sure she/ the hotel was meeting our needs. We watched their exemplary care for a lady in a wheel chair and gave praise via feedback to reception about a brilliant bar man Moustafa on the pool bar who came to thank us for our kind words.
