TL;DR
Family vacations at Egyptian resorts are generally safe: with basic precautions and a travel medicine kit, most families enjoy their stay without health issues.
A family with two children stayed at the resort from late May to early June — they swam in the sea, pool, visited the water park and kids' club, and drank beverages with ice. No rotavirus issues for children or adults. Other guests at the hotel also reported no health problems. They brought a large medicine kit as a precaution but took nothing preventively. Hotel service was rated highly.
A couple stayed at the same hotel in February and was satisfied: food was good, staff were welcoming to Russian-speaking guests. The first day brought minor disappointment with the room, but overall impressions were positive enough to consider returning in July.
A traveler who visited the hotel in September is planning to return in July. In their view, the vacation experience depends largely on the traveler's own attitude, not just the hotel. Despite mixed reviews online, their personal experience was entirely positive.
