there were many people sick this time, unlike April. The hotel was full now and in April only 50 guests. Too much pressure on the staff and therefore less attention to hygiene???

- The hotel is not very special.
- There is nothing to do and the waiters seem to only want to serve you for a tip.
- Cleaning rooms was okay though.
- Dive center is well equipped and even has its own day boats.
- Great house reef with several places you can go to or have them take you ( and pick you up) with the Zodiac.
Dive packages are ok
- nitrox is not in the packages and must be paid extra ( missed opportunity that they do not offer this as standard)
Cylinders are well filled and nitrox usually around 33 /34%
Staff , at the dive base and boat, are helpful.
Nice big private jetty where you can also find and leave your cylinder.

We were with a group of 15 ( most experienced) divers.

The trip was really very nice. We enjoyed it very much. Everything worked out very well. Also the room was nice and big and had a beautiful view of the sea and the sunset

Atmospheric resort in Arabic style, laid out along the beach. Buildings up to one storey high. Beautiful garden. Swimming pool with sun terrace, but also a large stretch of sandy beach with sunbeds. Spacious rooms, cozy, but a bit worn here and there. For us not annoying. All very clean. Good bed, air conditioning. Restaurant in buffet style. Many different dishes, but little variation per day. Quality reasonable, but always something you like. Near the resort is another resort and further only desert. Marsa Alam city is a 1 hour drive away. Except diving, little other entertainment if you do not want to lie "baking" all day. The dive base is next to the hotel, within walking distance, but because the hotel is stretched along the beach, it makes a difference if you have a room on the side of the dive base. Family rooms are two rooms with a (lockable) dividing door. For us a great hotel for 7 to 10 day diving vacation.

The hotel is good by Egyptian standards.
The house reef offers with its 6 good dive sites everything the heart desires.
The boat dive sites we dived were maximum 20 m deep, the coral garden was very good, fish abundance normal.
Attraction: encounter with the manatee at the house reef.

The pool is miserable!
The dive center is not flexible enough! With this huge offer of dive sites, most of which can be reached in a good half hour, it should not happen that I have dived 5 dive sites twice!
