Overall
this
hotel
is
a
great
little
spot.
Staff
are
cleaning
the
hotel
24/7,
there
are
lots
of
tasty
food
choices
and
a
variety
of
pools
(not
all
are
heated,
but
staff
are
helpful
in
pointing
out
which
ones
to
use).
We
had
a
great
holiday
here
and
if
we
ever
chose
to
come
to
Egypt
again,
we
would
definitely
consider
returning.
There
were
just
a
couple
of
points
that
let
us
down.
The
first
is
the
constant
request
for
tips.
Of
course
we’re
happy
to
offer
a
tip
if
a
service
has
been
done
for
us,
but
the
same
staff
members
would
often
return
to
us
asking
for
more.
Or
staff
would
do
something
we
didn’t
ask
for,
and
then
ask
for
a
tip.
Understandably
this
is
very
annoying.
We
read
up
on
the
beach
before
and
knew
that
it
was
shallow
waters,
and
this
wasn’t
a
problem.
But
the
camels
and
horses
that
also
use
the
beach
means
that
this
area
has
a
particular
smell
once
the
animal
relieves
itself…
also,
the
abandoned
hotel
next
door
means
that
there
are
piles
of
rubbish
around
this
area,
and
an
abandoned/unkept
harbour.
It
doesn’t
make
the
hotel
feel
5
stars.
If
you
use
Egyptian
pounds
at
any
points
to
purchase
anything
from
the
shops
or
pharmacy,
expect
to
be
ripped
off.
They
prefer
dollars,
euros
or
British
pounds.
We
ran
out
of
money
due
to
tips
so
used
the
cash
machine
at
the
hotel,
which
only
provides
Egyptian
pounds.
Due
to
staff
not
wanting
to
accept
this
currency
for
tips
or
products,
we
were
ripped
off
as
they
would
ask
for
considerably
more
than
the
UK/Euro/Dollar
equivalent.
I
think
we
ended
up
paying
the
equivalent
of
£20
(in
British
pounds)
for
2
fridge
magnets…
(we
did
complain),
and
in
another
instance,
a
staff
member
asked
for
tip
then
tried
to
refuse
it.
He
did
not
believe
we
didn’t
have
any
other
currently
left,
and
took
it
after
what
felt
like
a
30
minute
conversation
about
it.
Luckily
we
didn’t
get
ill
but
we
did
have
the
hepatitis
A
and
typhoid
vaccine
before
we
left.
The
wifi
didn’t
work
most
of
the
time.
Our
room
was
lovely,
clean
and
quiet
-
no
issues
at
all
there.
The
only
food
complaint
is
the
breakfast
box
being
bland
and
not
really
having
much
in
it.
