Rested with his wife and son (9 years old). We drove with Pegasus and by the way the operator was not impressed. There were no problems with the transfer, but there are simply no guides, you can’t get a word out of them, let alone conduct excursions. Hotel guide Seven, mostly told only about the Egyptian dangers that threaten those who do not buy a tour from him. These excursions cost exorbitant prices, even compared to hotel prices (there is a counter near the shops and on the beach).
We went on two excursions, the first "Aquascope" (type "submarine" floats over the reef) is highly recommended for children. The second motorcycle safari, I also really liked it, but with a small child it will not work here.
The main disadvantage of the hotel, in my opinion, is the sea. It certainly is, but it is practically impossible to swim there, wade to a depth of 800m to the waist!! ! it is at 9 in the morning, by the afternoon the tide is out and there is already knee-deep. A chic capital pontoon with electric vehicles has one 50 cm !! ! the width of the stairs to the depth. Why they didn't make the descent steps I don't understand.

The plus of the hotel, of course, the water park, I chose it precisely because of this, a wide selection of slides, you ride on a rug, a circle of a boat, so you don’t have to worry about the quality of the joints, plus security control, they will put you on a hill and make sure that you emerge and do not run into any then a gaper. It makes life easier for parents on vacation. But to go to Egypt just for the sake of water attractions, in my opinion, is not worth it.
A few words about the room and territory. The room is very large about 40m2, all new LCD TV set, Jacuzzi, bidet, light and air conditioner control from the bedside table. Four sockets for the lover of electronic gadgets. But again, BUT, the quality of the finish is very low, everything is obliquely crooked and as a result of all the little things it is not comfortable. Cleaning daily, for a tip they molded not only swans but even elephants. Moreover, even on the floor + fresh flowers + towels were changed separately and at the time of departure there were more than a dozen towels in the room. There is a safe and minibar in the room: Cola, Fanta, Sprite and 2 waters, replenished daily, and even if you just take the bottle out of the refrigerator, there were no problems.
Meals: for 3, we were not hungry, but on the first day, I made three circles around the restaurant and could not believe that this was all the choice. But the sweet tooth will definitely like it, everything is OK with that.
Alcohol 24 hours, the choice is very large, about the quality I will not say everything is local, but wine and beer are good. As for the service in the restaurant, I have no complaints, there were always laid tables, if we wanted to sit at a specific table, the waiter immediately set it. The tables were covered with disposable papers or tablecloths, we did not come across any unsanitary conditions or lipstick on the glasses.
I want to mention about the poisonings, we had no problems, but I witnessed how a man rented an excursion because the child was poisoned. I want to recommend to all vacationers in any hotel: of course, do not even take tap water in your mouth, do not eat ready-made salads and do not abuse unfamiliar dishes and their combinations.

In general, if someone does not like the sea or prefers excursions, if there is a satisfactory price, you can go here. We had a wonderful rest, the main thing is not to produce negativity in ourselves, because there are flaws in any resort.
Have a good rest everyone.
