Our stay at this hotel was a success. So, in order:
The hotel is very beautiful. The service is excellent. Resting families 70% with children, mostly from Russia and Ukraine, there were also Germans, but very few.
Room - good rooms, clean, everything worked, no complaints. Cleaning every day, the guys try very hard.
Territory - the territory of the hotel itself is small, but cozy, but there is where to take a walk. Sahl Hasheesh Bay is very beautiful, you can walk throughout the bay, the hotels located there are also impressive. I advise you to rent a car and drive along the sea all over the bay - an unforgettable experience!
Sea - entry into the sea is excellent, there are small islands of plankton, you can see the fish.

The beach is excellent, spacious, BUT one big minus - there were sorely lacking umbrellas for all vacationers - people get up at 4-5 in the morning to take sunbeds under an umbrella, at 7 in the morning everything is already busy, i. e. you can’t find places not on 3 or 4 lines from the sea, I’m not talking about 1-2 lines. The people complained at the reception, they began to bring umbrellas from the pool to deliver. But this did not help, although there is enough space on the beach to deliver more umbrellas with wind deflectors.
Food - people write that there is a lot of food and people are snickering, complaining that there is nothing to eat. Yes, there is a lot of food and everything is very tasty, and if I didn’t have problems with the pancreas and ulcers, I would be crazy about their dishes, BUT they still have a problem with diet food! A lot of stewed meat and vegetables, BUT it's all spicy! , or a lot of spices! There are no complaints about breakfast, but for lunch and dinner it was necessary to look for something without spices and not spicy. There were days when the menu included pure white rice or mashed potatoes, stewed fish (very tasty) and not spicy soup, and then we had no problems what to eat, but there were not many such days during our entire vacation, more often there was nothing on the menu not spicy and we didn’t know what we had, we had to resolve issues through Natasha (Guestrelation), after which we personally cooked white rice and stewed chicken (and many thanks to the chefs, Chef and Natasha for this too! ). There were a lot of people like us, many complained that there was nothing to feed the children with. not all parents feed their children with spicy meat, soup with tomato sauce with chili, Mexican rice... I think that 5 * hotels should have a diet table, I'm not talking about a wide variety, but an elementary soup, not a spicy side dish, one kind of some kind of meat stew should always be present. Well, there were no problems with vegetables. Fruit is not enough, I would like more. Watermelons were paid - $ 3 per dish, although at that time, while relaxing in Egypt, watermelons were always served in restaurants.
Animation - weak, but everyone was warned about this. I want to note Serezha - an animator from a children's club. Children are delighted!!
Separately, I want to note our guide from Pegasus! No one has come up with such a trick so that everyone buys excursions from him! On the first day, he made us decide on excursions, because. then it will no longer be possible to buy them, although how can everything be decided on the very first day, you need to look around, think everything over, and then decide where you want to go, but this is, in principle, a standard procedure for all tour operators! Moreover, he made us write a receipt on the voucher that we would not go on excursions, they say this is for the insurance. Then, as usual, he intimidated us that, due to the turbulent situation in the country (although everything was calm everywhere), he did not advise taking excursions in other companies (of course, because the price there is 2 times lower), because. everything will be safe for them and all buses with tourists going on excursions are stopped by the police and check vouchers, and if you go on excursions from another company, and not from the one you came with (in our case, Pegasus), then you can be removed from the bus and the money for the tour will not be returned, they say such a case has already happened. We have never met a more resourceful guide!

Conclusion: the hotel is excellent, especially for the money! Will we go there again - YES, if they adjust the food - add dietary dishes to the menu.
