This is a fully-contained all-inclusive property which is fortunate as, apart from it's sister establishment next door, there is little else within the immediate vicinity. Of course, there are excursions available and shuttle transport (at a charge) in to Hurghada and El Gouna.



The garden areas are attractively landscaped and the beach area is very wide being well-equipped with sun-loungers and parasols.

Exterior

The property is set back from the quiet main road with an attractive park-style garden separating the parking lot from the set-down area under a 2-storey onion-style portico.



On either side of the main entrance are 5-storey wings of rooms demonstrating that many have a land view.
