The All Inclusive hotel is located right on the beach. All breakfasts and lunches are served at a restaurant located right on the beach. There is a big but somewhat shallow swimming pool, which is good for families as kids can swim and use the same swimming pool as their parents. Dinner meals can be taken either at the main restaurant offering a great selection of food including on outside space or in speciality restaurants where you can use complimentary vouchers that you would be given at the reception on checking-in. One voucher can be used for one meal per room. We stayed at the hotel for 9 nights and received 2 vouchers for the stay, however we didn't get to use all vouchers as we were quite satisfied with the main restaurant for our dinners. The service at the main restaurant is impeccable, consistently quick and friendly. We tried Greek Taverna restaurant using our voucher, however we were not impressed by it as you get to wait for everything too long and the food is from a set menu, so the selection is quite limited and frankly some food is better from the main restaurant as it has more variety there. The only other special restaurant I can recommend other than the main restaurant is the seafood restaurant called Sea Treasure. The food there is very delicious, especially their prawns. The service there by Mohamed Ramses is so personalised and outstanding that you can easily imagine yourself in the best Michelin starred restaurant. Also it is located right on the beach and has a romantic atmosphere. The entertainment team kept us active with darts, aqua aerobics, stretching, evening shows in the hotel's open stage amphitheatre and in thr Coco Loco club. Without the entertainment team the hotel wouldn't have had its soul. I was happy to meet and have a dance with Amigo, who showed a few Egyptian moves, also Keita was very good and polite and I had a pleasure to follow his aqua aerobics and stretching moves. Patric has great energy and is just a born entertainer, such a genuine and kind person, also an amazing dancer. My favourite shows were fire shows, belly dancing and dervish dancers and a performance of popping dance by one of the DJs. Generally the more I interacted, the more I enjoyed the hotel and got to know the people staying at the hotel. I was celebrating my birthday and the entertainment team made it very memorable and special for me by singing me a Happy birthday song with the rest of the hotel's guests joining in during a karaoke night. The room was a bit basic, but quite spacious and always immaculately clean. Most importantly for me there was a balcony with a table and chairs to chill with the swimming pool view. All rooms have either a balcony or a terrace. I think the hotel could invest into getting new TVs as ours was too small for the room and the picture of some of the channels wasn't clear enough. Also, the wardrobes could be a bit more silent and insulated as at nights I could hear my neighbours from another room sometimes opening their wardrobe and that sounded quite loud. If you want to use other hotel facilities, you can find a few shops within the hotel where if necessary you can get Egyptian roaming SIM card, or anything else you can think of. Also right within the hotel complex that is shared with Royal Labranda hotel, there is a whole street of different small shops where you can buy souvenirs, some food, spices, perfumes, etc. I saw other hotels bringing their guests by buggies to this street behind our hotel fo some souvenir shopping. Also, you can use the spa for massage and hammam. I had a haircut at 25 euro. You can also book some tours at the office located at the far side of Royal Labranda hotel. We booked there a 20 min camel ride for 15 euro that took my boyfriend along the beach accompanied by a beduine man. Also we booked the most amazing boat trip to a dolphin house for a day trip for 150 euro at the Dive More centre. It was such a highlight to the holiday and thanks to Hussaine who was very knowledgeable and professional in telling about the tour. Also we booked paragliding from him and it was thrilling to glide like birds over the boat that we were attached to. There is also a pharmacy at the hotel where you can buy any medication you can think of including antibiotics.
