We rested with my husband in September from Pegasus. The flight was from Ufa. There were no problems with transportation. Met as expected, no hitches. The transfer guide was a Russian-speaking girl, on the bus, as expected, gave all the instructions.
The hotel is a 20 minute drive from the airport. Three-storey. consists of three buildings in the shape of the letter U, but only the left side of the hotel is functioning. Pleasant receptionist. The staff is only English speaking, but if there are any problems with the translation, they contact the translator from Paradise by phone, who explains everything to you in detail.
The territory of the hotel is not equipped, there is not even a pool of its own. All entertainment on the territory of the Golden Five is across the road. Our windows overlooked a construction site, although this didn’t bother us at all, since it’s not worth opening the curtains during the day anyway.
Of the advantages of the hotel, one must name the excellent staff, the kitchen, the size of the rooms. All issues are resolved, the kitchen is excellent. The restaurant is not big, but the food is very tasty. do not come to the restaurant in swimsuits. They just get kicked out.
Since it was possible to use the services of all 6 hotels, my husband and I tried the cooking of others a couple of times, after which we ate only at our place. Often tourists even from Paradise ate in our restaurant. The holiday includes free access to 3 restaurants: fish, Italian and Russian. We dined at the first 2. I'll tell you right now, it's not worth it. First, we did not immediately find them. The Italian one is on the beach, and the fish one is near the water park. Moreover, the receptionists do not really know their location. On the map of the hotel, they are also indicated incorrectly.
The room is excellent. 2 rooms, 2 air conditioners, 2 single beds, TV in the bedroom and living room, where there are 2 sofas and a table. 3 Russian channels ORT, RBC MUZTV. Toilet with bath joint. There is a refrigerator. Minibar replenished once a week, 3 bottles of soda and many bottles of plain water. Drinking tap water is highly discouraged. There were almost no problems with the number. Removed regularly.
The room at first smelled of dichlorvos, but quickly ventilated. I must say that this smell is strong in the lobby of the hotel.
The territory of Golden 5 is simply huge, it consists of 5 hotels: the main Paradise, Almaz and Emerald on the coast, Diamond is closer to the road and the Golden 5 club consists of a network of 2-storey bungalows, almost on the road. Each hotel is a "state within a state".
The bus to the beach runs every 45 minutes. So it is written, in fact, he regularly travels only in the morning. During the day it's useless. As with the beach on the bus, you simply will not leave, because there is none. A decent stomp, a kilometer in the heat.
The beach is large, in some places the entrance to the sea is rocky, but there are large gaps with a sandy entrance, so shoes are not needed in principle. Fish are everywhere. Ooooo beautiful. do not feed the fish. Do not collect shells. At the airport, a fine thousand dollars. There were no problems with mattresses and sun loungers if you arrive early. The pesters run around, but they don’t really bother. Animators appear regularly at 1.00 aqua aerobics in the sea, at 4 days in the water park. It's worth a try. They also teach oriental dances in the morning on the beach. In general, they worked well.
The kids disco is great. But with evening shows the problem. The main animator is Turkish, and therefore the same stupid vulgarity poured from the stage in the evenings, as in Turkey. By the way, they have an evening show at 22.00. Too late. And all discos are paid.
Guide. We had Natalia. The first acquaintance on the third day of rest. A big informative lecture about the country and the hotel (do not forget a pen and notepad). Overview of all excursions. By the way, when meeting with her, immediately take money for excursions, and exchange them. Then it will be extremely difficult to find it. Although the hours of her stay in Paradise are written from 6 to 8, she appears at about 8.30 and there are a lot of people to her. By the way, guides from other agencies always sit at their appointed time.
Tours. We took from the guide. By the way, the prices didn’t differ much from the beach ones, so we didn’t take risks. Took Luxor, Siscop and safari. Luxor is hard. It takes about 3 hours to drive. But, in principle, not very much... The guide is excellent. In general, there are no problems with tour guides in Pegasus. Tip: The breakfast that is prepared for you at the hotel consists of rolls, eggs and plain water. Therefore, take sweet water and something else edible. And bring more water with you. In the temples and in the valley of the dead it is incredibly hot. Personally, I almost fainted.
Super safari. The name speaks for itself. Super! I advise everyone. The only thing is to buy rafatki in advance. There they are 5 times more expensive, and without them in any way.
Siscope. I did not like. Not expensive as seen. A boat with a deep bottom. Glass walls. The room is dark. In general, you look, you look until you get sick. For a long time, stuffy. The kids just can't stand it, they run to the deck to make a screech.
I do not advise.
Trade. Near the hotel there is a chain of shops. All sellers speak excellent Russian. They're just stupid. When asked if this is your first time in Egypt, answer no. Prices drop dramatically. When asked "how are you? ", never answer "good. " This is something unpleasant for them. They begin to laugh. The most annoying sellers of oils. Far away from them.
In general, if you go to the left along the road from the hotel, you can visit a small supermarket where all prices are fixed and finally you will find out the true price of goods. There is also a supermarket to the right of the hotel, a huge shopping center, Europeanized. I don’t remember its name, but you can take a taxi for 20 pounds. There are inexpensive mangoes, dates, figs. Go there, don't waste your money from the sellers on the boutique line. You don't need to buy anything at the hotel.
You can visit the new Hurghada by taxi. The asking price is $4. Ask for a ride to the Seagal Hotel. You can eat well and not expensive there. Lots of fixed price supermarkets, lots of grocery stores, boutiques. Great tin shops. And in general, visiting a big city in a foreign country is very interesting. I personally have fond memories of this trip. Just go in the evening. Not so stuffy.
From the results, I can say that Egyptian evenings conquered me, not stuffy and not humid, as in Turkey, the service and beauty of the sea.
Go to Egypt, you won't regret it.
