Not a relaxing place
My wife and I spent a weekend here, thinking we'd get away from Cairo and relax. We booked a sea view room. Little did we know, there is a massive construction project going on, to widen the road along the coast. It's baffling why anyone would want to ruin such a lovely coastline. There is nothing the hotel management can do about this, of course, but keep it in mind.
The room was fine. Problem was the spa - there are only hours for men, and women, but it was not possible to use the facilities together. I respect the local culture, so it's fine that there are some hours for men, and some for women, but why aren't there 'mixed' hours? Surely some Egyptians and many tourists would like to visit the sauna with their partners. It didn't really matter because the facilities are in such poor shape. The jacuzzi was cold. Staff were polite and seemed embarrassed about the problem but they couldn't fix it. The steam room does get steamy but it's not warm enough for you to break a sweat. The dry sauna was also not that hot, but it was good enough.
Finally, if you want to relax in your room and watch a football match, think again. They didn't have Bein Sports in the room. It is a standard channel in this part of the world. Instead, they had it in the bar (which lacks a non-smoking section), presumably so people who wanted to watch a match would also consume alcohol.
Anyway, the room was fine, but if you are going to Alex for a relaxing weekend, you can probably do better.
