This is no huge structure, packed with fancy attractions, outstanding buildings and fully furnished high-tech rooms. It's simple, almost essential, but very well kept and mantained, despite these hard times for egyptian tourism. It offers a good access to the reef for snorkelers and divers and some beach, not very wide or impressive. It's perfect for relaxing and enjoying marine... More

Hotel typically for the diving group, or people who love pleace and quiet places (I was in mid October)... Hotel has a beautiful reef to which, unfortunately, is around 500m on the shallow water (there is no pier, which could help). 70% of visitors are Italians, who had his own local crew to take care of the artisitc part, and...

The rooms are large and clean, but don't expect five-star quality. Unlike larger resorts e.g. sharm, the rooms are all within 3 minutes walk from the... More

Spent a single night over this 4 (???) stars resort. The room had very (very very) poor quality. We've been missing the tap water all the night long and the bathroom was terribly stinking. The reception didn't help at all while we pointed out these discomforts the buffet restaurant had the same poor quality of the room. Beautiful landscape and... More
