“This resort certainly strikes a chord with its impressive views of the Red Sea and commitment to sustainability.

coral reefsimmaculate groundsnoise levelstaff reaction

The beach provides direct access to the coral reefs , located only meters away. I observed a diverse range of fish while snorkeling. The grounds were immaculate. The provided meals were excellent. The staff demonstrated friendliness and a helpful attitude.

The Moulin Rouge hotel was adjacent to the family wing , and it opened at 9 PM. Tourists sang loudly until midnight. I reported it multiple times , but the reactions consisted of lies and persuasion.
