Upon arriving we were quickly booked into our room, I have to say that the rooms are in need of a little updating and we did appear to have an ant colony living in the bathroom sink, other than this the rooms were perfectly adequate, very spacious for a couple. The Mini fridge was replenished daily with two small bottles of water and 2 soft drinks, we purchased additional water from the supermarket which is on the complex but you can get water free from all the pool / beach side bars. The air conidtioning in the room worked fine and was much needed as it was very very hot.
The Pool area was lovely, there was entertainment for the best part of the day, normally consisted of Volley ball, darts, archery, music, dancing etc, there is a slide in the main pool for the kids which was overseen by a life guard. We enjoyed the pool bar, life doesnt get much better then sitting in the sun, in the pool, drinking a cold beer.
We generally stayed on the beach, the hotel is set on the top of a cliff, we accesed the beach by, wait for it, 130 steps, however you can access it by a ramp in a different section and then a lesser abmount of steps. The beach itself is sections cut into the cliff face, so its not white side etc. The sea (which is why we went to Egypt) is truely amazing, you access it of a jetty, the one we were close to was partly submerged under the water so as you walk, the fish are swimming about your legs, the water is gorgeous, lovely and warm and the fish are in abundance, Parrot fish, angel fish, the list goes on and on. We brought an underwater camera from one of the shops, its reuseable and cost

The hotel was great. It had so much to do as you share facilities with Dreams Vacation hotel which is next door. The security is tight so you feel safe. You do get hassled by people trying to sell trips, massages, etc, but if you say no they will leave you alone.
The main buffet restaurant has plenty of choice and there are other restaurants you can book in to. Our favourite was the Mexican - the food was brilliant! You have to reserve it and pay a small charge, approx

The staff are very pleasant. The rooms can be noisy with the noise starting at about 6 each morning. Expect alot of hassle round the pool we had people trying to sell us the same things each day including massages, hairdressing, tatoos, newspapers (which were a rip off), trips and people trying to get you to go to the love boat can get really annoying after a while. Plenty to do.
The Vacations food is much nicer than the Beach Resort have a bigger choice and was much warmer. Take plenty off upset tummy remidies as everyone in our hotel suffered with it.

The hotel is very clean your rooms are cleaned everyday and fresh towels are given everyday. The hotel itself is spotless they never stop cleaning.
The food is great not only do you have the choice of 5 other resturants but the main buffet is great and a different choice every night, they have special sections on a morning for crepe's and eggs all freshly made and on an evening a pasta and fish section of made to your liking Just be aware of the garlic and you may need to take some stomach tablets as I think they put a lot of spices in things.
Entertainment for adults not great on a evening just one guy who sings the same songs each night but you can get up and join in if you wish. Waiter service is great and a little tip goes along way, all the staff are very friendly and the Grill House was my favourte for dinner and tea.
I would definetly go back again. It was just very HOT!!!!!

The hotel and facilities are very clean and the hotel apartments are cleaned without fail everyday. The rooms are standard but do have excellent air conditioning which is well needed as Eygpt is the hottest country I have ever visited!
The bathroom is a little dated but is clean and tidy and your towels are changed everyday along with your bed linen. The mini bar is stocked with bottled water and soft drinks and is refilled everyday, if you tip the cleaner you will find that further drinks will be left for you.
The pool and beach area is also very well maintained although the pool area in the Dreams Beach resort can get very busy throughout the day as the main activities take place there such as aqua aerobics, water polo etc... The beach is great is you want total relaxation as several quiet coves can be found.
The sea is very calm and clear and the sea life is absolutely brilliant we saw stingray, barracuda, parrot fish, jelly fish and that was only just off the shore! You have to approach the sea via a jetty as not to damage the coral but we didn't find this a problem.
The all inclusive restaurants within the resort were very nice and we found the food to be excellent with plenty of choice. In the buffets restaurants in the morning you can have fresh omelettes and pancakes prepared for you which were really tasty.
You also have the added bonus of using the facilities of the Dreams Vacation resort which is located next door and is easily accessed.
Although the food was good we only ate in the buffet restaurants four times as we preferred to eat in the other restaurants in the complex as these were quieter. The other restaurants to choose from included a Mexican, Italian, Bedouin Tent and a Steakhouse and all served very good food.
There was a charge for eating in the Mexican, Bedouin and Love Boat but it only worked out to be approx

The hotel itself was not bad but should be at the very most a 3 star rating not the five as advertised. Our room was very basic and bathroom was very dirty, and full of cockroaches, although i didnt know about that until we came home because my husband did not tell me this until we were back in the uk.Our mini bar was filled with 2 small bottles of water, 1 coke and 1 lemonade. if we asked for any further water we had to pay for it, which obviously with a baby we needed a lot more. The air conditioning broke three times and indeed became very hot in the bedroom. We where provided with a cot but my husband had to fix this twice. There are no facilites for children under the age of 5, not even a changing mat.
The food was very boring and warm, needless to say every one you spoke to had bad stomach upsets. The mexican restaurant is amazing, for

We were all inclusive and the food was great. The Andlucia was my least favourite resturant, and the Mexican and grill house were my favourite. You had to pay extra for the Mexican but for
