Triton Empire Beach Resort, tour operator Pegas Tourist.
Rested with my wife at the hotel from 14 to 25 August 2010.
What problems are we facing? The first and only problem is ACCOMMODATION. We arrived at the hotel at

07.00, he was packed to capacity. I had to wait at the reception for 5 hours, when the rooms begin to be vacated. AT

The hotel has only 154 rooms and they are not equal. There are rooms without windows, there are rooms with a view of the fence of the neighboring

hotel. In the process of waiting, I told the manager at the reception that I was ready to pay him if he would give us a room

right now. He agreed to give us a number and quoted the price - 50 pounds. I didn't give money right away. Said that

ladies, when I look at the number. I looked at the room - it turned out to be overlooking the fence. "Such a number is not for nothing for us

needed", I said to the manager. After our refusal, the manager said that he had no other numbers and in general


stopped noticing us, - they say, sit at the reception for at least a week, you won’t get another number. Although some
tourists who arrived with us and after us were provided with rooms. I had to contact the hotel

guide from Pegasus Dina Dobrotskaya. Dina was beyond praise. Demanded managers to show on

computer availability. I found out that there are free good rooms and demanded that

we were given one of them. Managers balked, saying that these rooms are booked by the company

Nordic...(I don't remember the full name) for Polish tourists. To which Dina said: “Why are my tourists worse?

What, didn't they pay you the same money? "Then I went to the hotel management and in the end

I made sure that we were given a room with a sea view, which suited us. Many thanks to Dina! ! ! If not

she, then we would cook at the reception for who knows how much. After us, Dina managed to move to another room.

a woman who arrived the day before, who also did not like the number.
Therefore, those traveling to Triton Empire Beach Resort during the season should understand that with the problem of accommodation they can

collide. We talked with many vacationers and realized that it’s like luck here: one will be settled in

a good room without problems, and the other will be hoarded like us. But while the hotel has a hotel guide from

Pegasus Dina Dobrotskaya, you can safely go there - she will help. Here is a man in his place - God forbid

health! ! ! If all people worked the way she did, we would have a completely different country where a person

man is a friend, not a wolf.
Otherwise, I liked the hotel. Small well-kept green area, good food. We rested in

August and were afraid that it would be very hot. Therefore, we chose a small hotel on the seashore, so that less

hot to walk. But in fact, there were no problems with the heat. Due to the wind, the air temperature was

32-34, and water - 30. I even went to the market sometimes during the day for mangoes. At this time, the market offers more
and there are no merchants along the way. Go to the market like this: When leaving the hotel, cross the road and walk along the street,


perpendicular to the road, on which the hotel stands to the roundabout. Here, go around the ZAHRAA store, so,

so that he stays on the left, and go straight along the street (past the Catholic church under construction) until the next circle.

Here, cross the street at the traffic lights, take 20-30 meters to the left and go deep into 50 meters and you are at the market. Distance

from the hotel to the market on the map is about 1200 m. If you go around the ZAHRAA store, so that it remains on the right,

then after 100-200 meters there will be an ABU ASHARA store. There prices are fixed and very inexpensive. For example, juice

we bought mangoes there for 4.5 pounds per liter. 100 m to the right when leaving the hotel there is an aquarium, -

you can see sharks, moray eels, turtles and various fish. Ticket price for an adult is 15 pounds.
A separate story about shopping in the market. Knowing the love of the Egyptians to deceive, I took the steelyard with me to the market and

liter pack of juice.
With their weights, they weigh 200-500 g per kilogram. On the weights there are inscriptions on them

language, nothing can be understood. Therefore, with a steelyard, I fixed the fact of the body kit and then put it on the scales in

as a kilogram weight a liter package of juice and forced to add the purchased product. The price of a mango

market 12-15 pounds per kg depending on the variety. Looking at my European appearance, some sellers

they called the price 20.30 pounds, and in the city one hawker turned down as much as $ 10 = 56 pounds. Grapes and dates stand

3-4 pounds per kg, guava - 5 pounds. (For information 1$=5.6 Egyptian pounds). In the market it is better to buy for

pounds, and not for dollars, since they convert dollars at the rate of $1=5 pounds.
Seen at sea
Mollusk Spanish ballerina (on the hotel beach), big turtle (far from the hotel beach towards the hotel

Hilton), a large moray eel (far from the hotel beach towards the Hilton hotel) and many times small,
stingrays (yellow with blue spots), regularly fed under water from hands chicken eggs of 3 fish


in the form of a crescent in the beach area of ​ ​ the Sand beach hotel. Rhinoceros fish are large in size, but in a small

quantity. Parrot fish in small numbers. Imperial angelfish - very large.
There are not many corals and they are not very beautiful for the reasons described below. There are also not very many fish for the same

reasons.
Plants are not watered with sewage in the hotel, they are watered. Where do they go then

sewer drains? To the left of the hotel pier, about 50 meters away, there is a pier, on which there is a building of a cubic

forms 3x3x3 m. From this building into the sea to a depth of 5 meters and at a distance of 100 meters from the pier

pipe with an open end in the sea. I swam and saw it all. I have a suspicion that this pipe

sewage is dumped into the sea. I surveyed, snorkelling, the coast on the left and
to the right of our hotel: from the Shedwan hotels (800 m on our left) to the Hilton Resort and Jewels Sahara hotels

Boutiq (1300 m on our right). Similar sewer pipes (there are several) found near the hotel

Hilton Resort. While swimming along the coast, I noticed a large number of dead corals and the fact that

that the water in the sea in this region is always more muddy than I am accustomed to seeing in the Red Sea. But the farther from

pipes, the more transparent the water. Before the Triton Empire Beach Hotel, I was at the Zahabia Hotel in Hurghada and

AL Nabila Hotel in Makadi Bay. The water in the sea near these hotels is simply crystal clear - much

more transparent than Triton. But on the other hand, in these hotels, plants are watered with sewage - one feels

smell. There is a problem of choice: either breathe the smell of sewage, or bathe in them.
