It was the first time in Egypt. I really wanted to look at the corals)) I chose the hotel together with my friend, who is no longer new to Egypt. Unfortunately, many of the reviews are completely untrue ((((
The hotel is very good value for money. It is located in an elite protected area, in which entry is only with passes. It is a pity that basically there are now only unfinished hotels. I can imagine how the most beautiful promenade will look like when all the hotels are open!
No one asked for money when they moved in. When changing the room (the first one turned out to be with a bar, but with a tiny bathroom), the manager refused money!!!! ! Very friendly staff. The territory is clean, well-groomed. Cleaning in the room is beyond praise - a tip was left every other day, but the lack of money did not affect the cleanliness. All sorts of swans, dogs, elephants, etc. spun out of towels daily. Once in the room they put a beautiful bouquet)))

The food is probably the same. But! there were crabs and quails a couple of times. Fish, meat, chicken, liver were constantly on the menu. I understand that for 5 stars this should be the norm, but, for example, in the Hilton with fish strained. The food is a little bland, but no one bothers to add spices to it yourself. Loved the a la carte Italian restaurant. Mexican not so good. In Russian food is simply disgusting, although the cook there is a Russian woman))) I can’t say anything special about alcohol, because. I mostly drank beer and wine. Have ordered cocktails several times. Didn't like it, because alcohol is poured into them without sparing))) Gin and rum are completely fine if you order them in their pure form, and then make your own mix with tonic or cola.
Drinks on the beach and near the pools were indeed poured into plastic glasses. But you can’t give glass to the beach to Slavic personalities !!!! ! In the presence of an urn a stone's throw from the sun lounger, many resting gobies and glasses were thrown directly onto the sand. It would be great if there were glass glasses lying around (((( In other bars, glasses and glasses for wine were glass !!!!!
Animation is beyond praise! Charging, club dance, step, darts, volleyball and much more. The main thing is that all daytime entertainment took place on the beach, where basically all vacationers spent time, there were few people near the pools.
The beach is large, spacious, clean in the mornings, while there are few people and they didn’t have time to throw gobies))) There are enough sun loungers.
And now sad. No corals!! ! Those. there is some kind of reef somewhere near the hotel, but no one could really explain where it is exactly. But for children, the sea is simply gorgeous - fine sand, a convenient entry without stones. Slippers are not needed.
Now about the most pleasant))) In connection with the cancellation of flights to Sheremetyevo, Pegas offered those who were supposed to fly to Sheremetyevo on May 16 to extend their vacation at their expense for a period of 2 to 5 days. We chose the maximum option)))) And were very satisfied. As far as I know, few people refused such a tempting offer))
I really didn't want to leave. If possible, I will definitely come back in the fall!
