This hotel is excellent, truly all-inclusive. We stayed in mid-January, so it was winter, and our visit was brief.
I definitely experienced a 'wow' effect, and it hadn't worn off even when we left.
**Location:** It's located in Sahl Hasheesh Bay, in an area that's not particularly windy in winter, which is a huge plus for a winter vacation. There's also an enormous promenade in Sahl Hasheesh, about 10 kilometers long!
**Architecture & Ambiance:** The building architecture is incredibly beautiful (!!!). The reception balcony, in particular, is stunning in its grandeur – it feels like stepping into an 'Egyptian palace' on a hill. You could honestly just sit and admire the hotel's views all day. Everything feels new and spotless, from the rooms to the grounds.
**Staff:** The staff is very attentive, always ready to help, and genuinely happy to see you. Since the hotel is still relatively new (as of January 2026), the team is incredibly energetic and enthusiastic.
**Food:** The food is so delicious and varied that it was hard to stop eating. It was a true test of self-control, wanting to try everything but physically being unable to eat more! The culinary team is excellent. There are also à la carte restaurants, Italian and Oriental.
**Pools:** Only the pools along the buildings were heated (these are for ground-floor swim-up rooms), but since the hotel was just opening, we were able to use them even where rooms were empty. What a pleasure to relax in a warm pool!
**Amenities:** They have fantastic sun loungers – soft and with canopies. There's also a new and excellent gym. You're always greeted by dedicated staff in these areas, whether it's a trainer/instructor in the gym or even attendants in the restrooms at reception and in the restaurants! Waiters also circulate by the sun loungers, asking what you'd like to drink. There's a singing fountain and a club on the premises. The beach is sandy with some corals.
While we had a 'wow' experience at the hotel, to be completely factual and objective, there were a few minor things that hinted at the hotel still being in its soft-opening phase (these are small details, but they did contribute to a 50% discount – making it $200/night instead of $400/night):
1. Construction work was ongoing on the grounds.
2. No kids' club yet (promised, but seemingly still in the planning stages).
3. Animation was a bit weak. I only saw animators during the evening entertainment when performers were on stage; I didn't notice much activity from them around the hotel during the day (though I might have just missed them).
4. The evening entertainment itself was just okay (you wouldn't call it a 'show'), but the staff and local animators did their best to make it enjoyable.
5. The 'singing' fountains played the same tracks repeatedly and quite loudly, which was sometimes disruptive.
But these are all minor points; the hotel is truly wonderful!
