A large, comfortable but rather anonymous all-inclusive establishment, typical of many in the resort; pleasant but nothing special. A reasonable choice of facilities include a mini soccer field and dive centre. The pool terrace can be crowded but the seaside sun terraces are fairly roomy. Attracts many Italian and Russian visitors. Free shuttle bus to a sister property in Naama Bay including a night service to their discoteque. Might be affected by aircraft noise from the nearby airport.
