The schauinsland-reisen original hotel was built in an elegant Bohemian style, combined with modern Arabic accents, offering a unique design in Egypt. The 5-star complex consists of two parts, the "True Beach Resort", which is particularly suitable for families, and the "True Beach Village" as an adults-only area, bookable from 16 years of age. The complex has a total of 158 rooms, distributed across both sections, and offers a spacious reception area with a reception desk and a lobby bar "True Lobby Bar" with seating areas inside and outside (located in the resort). On the first floor of the lobby is a rooftop bar "Sama Bar". The village area of the resort (adults-only) is surrounded by a spacious water landscape and offers a total of 4 different main pools, which run through the entire complex and are also the pools for the swim-up rooms, as well as an infinity pool offering views of the crystal-clear bay (all pools are heated). In the middle of the pool landscape, you will find the pool bar "Scarab Bar" as well as the oriental restaurant "El Tawla" and a chaise lounge. Guests of the village section also have access to a Greek restaurant "ILIOS" and an Asian restaurant "NORI", both located on the beach. On the beach, guests can also find the bars "ILIOS Bar" and "Salt Bar". Furthermore, guests of the village section can use the main restaurant "El Manzil" and the fish restaurant "Ritsa" (both located in the resort area). The resort area has two spacious pools and a whirlpool integrated into the main pool (main pool heated in winter). An island in the main pool, accessible via a wooden bridge, offers chill-out areas with loungers and beanbags for all ages. The complex also has the pool bar "Maya", a theater that offers various entertainment programs in the evening, as well as several shops, a hairdresser, and a spa area.
