I have also visited this hotel several timesa few years ago and last November pre cruise departing Safaga and cannot recommend it highly enough. Staff are great, food is good, rooms bright and airy and platinum recognition excellent, each time we visited we were upgraded to a sea view suite, ok this is not the Four Seasons but makes for a nice shortl holiday break, and being a diver it is perfect, snorkelling on the house reef great. Also nice choice of restaurants at nearby hotels.
