Reviews: 

On the nightlife -

A Thomsons Rep seems to have enjoyed the Hotel's Mine Pub and Discotheque -

"This underground venue is the place to bop 'til you drop to all the latest sounds, spun by the club's resident DJ."

One British reviewer
( HolidayWatchdog - January 2006 )
had some positive comments

On food -

"Breakfast is buffet style and good for a
three star.......Did not eat there at night as we were told the food was poor."

On rooms -

"The bedrooms are ok and the cleaning was excellent"

But overall she was not very impressed
( but note this was written some time ago - January 2006 - so the situation
may well have improved. )

"All in all I would describe the complex
as being isolated, expensive in
comparison to other resorts in Egypt,
biased towards the Italians, mediocre
food and lacking in atmosphere and warmth."
