Vacationing with my wife. This is the second trip to Egypt in winter. The first one was last Christmas at Desol Holiday Taba 4*. There were no surprises. Everything that people write in their reviews is very close to the truth. The only difference is the attitude to what is happening. If you need the sea, sun, fish, then WELCOME to Egypt, if you need service and amenities, then you are not here. In Egypt, it is normal to deceive you or mislead you. On the part of the Pegasus guides, this is a normal practice. Deceived with the duration of the trip to Luxor. Instead of the promised 4.5 hours, we drove to Luxor 7 hours one way and 6.5 hours back. Instead of the promised trip on a yacht to an amazingly beautiful corner of the Red Sea, supposedly a tectonic fault. Where sea cows (manatees), moray eels and amazingly beautiful fish live. Actually brought to the coral reef, where we swam accompanied by guides. The place is certainly beautiful, but they promised us another trip. So, don't trust the PEGASS guides. Actually exactly the same beauty corals and fish were in the sea next to the hotel. Flippers, masks and explore the beauty of the beautiful Red Sea! In general, I liked the hotel. The territory is huge, more green and picturesque next door in Utopia. We lived in a bungalow at No. 123, not far from the sea. Such an oriental-style dwelling, in the spirit of minimalism. It does not cause delight, but it did not cause a clear protest in us either. If desired, you can change, with a small surcharge of 10-20 dollars, to another, more modern room. The shower worked, the bed was comfortable, and we didn't need more. Rum Boy, named Am, cleaned the room every day, twisted various swans out of towels, left two bottles of water in the room, for which we, with gratitude, left him a DOLLAR. The food is monotonous, but you will not stay hungry. The hotel is designed for Italians and Germans, and therefore European cuisine for Italians. In addition to potatoes, rice and vegetables, the menu included pizza, pasta, and salads. Very tasty grill. No alcohol. The hotel staff (reception staff, waiters, bartenders) hardly speaks Russian, but they are friendly and welcoming. The sea, despite the windy weather at this time of the year, is very warm. You can swim for an hour or two without any problems. Water temperature 22C. The air warmed up to 23С-26С, there was one day without wind, so generally HEAT. It is cool in the evening and at night, after the first night Am was asked for one more blanket. The only inconvenience is FLY. Very annoying Flies. Transfer to the hotel from Hurghada 2.5-3 hours.
