A quiet, cozy hotel for a relaxing holiday by the sea, on the first line. A beautiful room in the far building, next to the least crowded part of the beach, sandy seabed, convenient access for those who cannot swim, beautiful corrals "within walking distance" with an abundance of fish of the most fantastic colors (at low tide, if the sea is calm, you can walk to the coral and observe underwater life without diving). The room had: TV, mini-bar, safe, hairdryer, shower and bathroom. A kettle is provided upon request at the reception, but they do not issue irons and ironing boards. If you don't have a travel iron with you, then only the laundry room. The cost of washing 1 T-shirt or dress in 2023 was 30 pounds (1 dollar). During my stay at the hotel (September 3-14, 2023 and September 7-20, 2024), the hot water was not turned off once. The room was cleaned every day, there were no complaints about the cleaners. It's all clear. Apparently, it helped that I left a tip to the cleaner every day ($1).
I really liked the beach – sandy, clean, in general, the territory of the hotel is well-groomed, containers for separate garbage collection are placed everywhere.
There is a swimming pool, a spa center (very good), a diving and extreme sports center (kitesurfing, etc.), there are three bars (by the pool, on the shore and in the main building) and three restaurants (main, All inclusive, fish menu and, it seems, Italian, also with an order from the menu). I can't say anything about the bars – I ordered only tea there, and in the restaurant I ate only mostly for vacationers on the All-inclusive system. I really liked the food – varied, for every taste, in large quantities, no queues. I must say right away: I have a problematic gastrointestinal tract, I can't eat everything and am prone to intestinal infections. There were no problems at this hotel. What I liked: the water for tea and instant coffee here is not from a cooler (90 degrees), but boiled, safe (there are thermopots).
The hotel has wonderful and unobtrusive animation: every evening, at 20.00 or later, a children's disco (although the music is the same, I'm tired), and then either an oriental show with a magnificent tanura dance, or a fire show, or a circus show, or a quiz like "Guess the melody". There's something new every day. I liked the tradition of congratulating the birthday people of the whole hotel at dinner. My new friend, whom I met there, had a birthday while staying at the hotel. She was presented with a cake with sparklers, sang Happy birthday in several languages, it was nice.
The hotel's guests are mainly Germans and Poles, there are French, Czechs, Egyptian Arabs, tourists from Russia (these are mainly middle–aged people and young couples with children). There was no negative attitude towards our tourists either from the staff or from vacationers from other countries. Everyone is very friendly to each other.
Safaga is conveniently located in terms of excursions: exactly in the middle of the way from Hurghada to Luxor, so it is convenient to travel from here to Luxor and Dendera. I went there and there in 2024. I am very happy with my stay at this hotel. In both 2023 and 2024, I really rested, relaxed, and recovered. This has not happened to me for a long time. Thanks to the hotel.

A quiet, relaxing low-rise hotel with a huge beach. The first line. Decent attitude, good food. The atmosphere is friendly. From the furthest point of the hotel to the beach is no more than three minutes at a calm pace. Unlimited drinks. Animation didn't work out, although yoga, darts, and volleyball are present. WiFi is approximately 17 € a week, it is better to buy a SIM card at the airport, upon arrival (cost from 7 $ Vodafone, Ethisalat, WE, Orange operators (all have the ability to distribute the Internet, convenient for remote work from a laptop) , or tolerable at the reception for messengers. The territory is green. The gardeners are working. The bars are quiet . The rooms are mostly clean and tidy. But the hotel is not at all for hanging out. There is a boardwalk. The bathing area is marked with buoys. The entrance to the sea is shallow. Sun beds are mostly equipped with a shelter from the wind and an umbrella. A large enough distance for privacy. Three lines. The beach bar. Delivery of beach towels in the center of the beach, according to the cards. The food is mostly good, there is always a choice of meat: beef, chicken, fish, vegetables, some fruits (mainly watermelon, guava, melon slices, oranges). About six varieties of tea (in tea bags). Instant coffee (free of charge), grain at the bar for a fee. Alco is a standard set of Egyptian Gin whiskey rum ouse beer. Soft drinks cola sprite schweppes, or juices like jupi. There are no restrictions on drinks. At the pool bar, closer to 13, there is a snack - burgers. According to the location, there are bungalows closer to the sea, and two-storey buildings with a terrace or balcony. Everything is decided at the reception.

A good hotel for the price / quality ratio: friendly staff, varied and delicious food, although without frills, a good beach. But there is something to work on (please take my criticism not as nagging, but as friendly advice to the management): there is no toilet on the beach, the changing room does not close, sometimes there is an oil film on the water.
