Very baeutifull hotel built on a hill with the reception/foyer/restaurants at the top. The rooms are all spread down the hillside and a waterfall runs down between them. There is a fenicular railway/elevator that runs up and down the hillside which is very cool.
Unique Qualities: There are three different pool areas. The bottom pool is big and is where the kids pools are and where most activities take place so it is quite active. The top pool is a lot more chilled out and has a bar/snack bar that you can swim up to. There is another pool at the front of the hotel beside the tennis courts and gym/spa. The hotel has its own beaches and a reef too. There is a floating pier out to the reef and you can jump in and go snorkelling. It is really amazing how much life there is even at a hotel reef. I saw lion fish, puffers, baracuda, tuna, parrot fish and lots more! There is a really good italian restaurant in the main foyer, along with a lebanese and the main buffet restaurant. Prices are very good considering its a 5 star hotel. You can get a pizza and a drink from the pool bar for 40LE (£4)! And the restaurants, room service and mini bar are just as reasonable... superb!
