I rested with my husband in this hotel from May 14 to May 23.2009. Tour operator Pegasus. Air company NORDWIND AIRLINES-charter. They flew super, I was very afraid, because I flew for the first time. At the airport in Hurghada, they were quickly seated on buses and taken to hotels. Ours was the 4th (driving around an hour) and 20 people landed. We arrived at the hotel at 10.45 (in the reviews and the printout of the hotel we read that check-in is from 14.00). The Pegasus transfer guide handed out hotel questionnaires to us and told us to go to the reception desk, not to wait for 14.00. We approached, the receptionist looked that there was no money in the passports, offered to pay extra for the ultra at $ 10 per day per person (we refused), gave map of the hotel and asked to come in 15 minutes. We looked at the diagram, walked through the territory and we liked the middle buildings (B), in these buildings it is not necessary to specify the view from the room, because the view from any room of these buildings is a view of the pools with sea water.
In buildings A, C, D, one side of the rooms faces the inner territory, while the opposite side faces the desert and a sluggish construction site. And so we returned to the reception. They put $ 10 in the passport, they pointed to the buildings and asked for one large bed. The answer was: "The big bed is a big problem. " I thought it was a joke. We went to the room (2108 building B-3), we go in the 2nd floor, but there are 2 beds! ! ! We sat down, began to think, well, let's go back now, well, he will give us a room on the 1st floor, I didn’t want to, the terrace of the room is flush with the lawn (I was afraid of all living creatures, because there were very large ants). There were also rooms in the attic in our building (but they are not indicated on the hotel diagram) - they are without a balcony or terrace, with a small window and smaller in size (No. 2201.2216, 2221.2236, 2241.2256). In general, we sat and thought and decided to leave the room, because as a result we slept on the same bed, for us they were huge.
The hotel has a Sport Area (located in a wasteland near the entrance, near the road, the numbers start at 4 and 5, the rooms are the same in size and decoration as in the main buildings, but up to the main territory with restaurants, swimming pools, etc. distance around 1km, Taf-Taf bus runs every 3 minutes). Before the trip, I read in one of the reviews that Pegasus had a quota for this territory (moreover, the author of this review did not travel from Pegasus !! ! ). On the bus at the transfer I asked the guide about this, the girl replied that Pegasus buys rooms only on the main territory. There are also five-digit numbers in hotels, which are also not indicated on the diagrams, where they are located, they did not understand. But at the Pegasus booth they saw the names of people leaving from No. 12601. But something in these rooms is clearly not like in the rest (if they are not indicated on the map).

Food: very good, constantly 3-4 types of meat, well, I’m generally silent about sweets, there were an unprecedented amount of them. Everything was very tasty and the quantity was enough.
I didn’t like that there were almost no fruits in our check-in, only oranges and for breakfast a fruit salad of apples and melons. The work of Pegasus also pleased. There was always one of the guides on site. When ordering two excursions from them, they made a discount of $ 5 from each excursion for each person. and more + overview of Hurghada for free. We ordered Sea Scope and El Gouna. When we went to El Gouna, with tourists from Hurghada, we found out that in Hurghada, Pegasus tours are $ 5-10 cheaper than our discounted price. But it is understandable that Makadi hotels are very far away.
Weather: arrived at the hotel it was hot outside, but the wind was very cold. Didn't even turn on the air conditioner. It was like that for two days. Then it was very warm, I was very comfortable.
Sea: 24-26 degrees, but constantly stormy, the green flag was only the day before departure. From the pontoon there is a beautiful coral reef and a lot of fish, from coast to reef there is a shallow on dead corals. First, ankle-deep, and then sharply deep, i. e.
splashing up to the waist will not work and you definitely need slippers.
Beach: I didn't like the rocks protruding into the sea, but we were at low tide. In high tide, they probably don't look so bad. There were always enough sunbeds when you didn't come. Garbage was collected, but only large, gobies (as usual) Russians buried in the sand (apparently a habit from the Krasnodar Territory).
Staff: friendly. The most important thing is not to be rude.
The hotel is more family than youth, but we liked it, very quiet and peaceful. Have a good holiday everyone! ! !
