The three of us rested with friends in February 2019. We flew from the Pegas Touristik company, there is a separate topic for review, but everything is in order.

We arrived at the hotel in the morning, we were immediately put on bracelets and asked to wait an hour or two until the rooms were cleaned. They offered a Garden view room, of course, with a hint of $ 20 + instant check-in and Sea view, but we preferred to wait))

Further on the points, it will be more convenient. About the hotel:

1. The rooms are clean, cleaned daily (for 1-2 dollars so especially hard, but this is not necessary), on the first day they brought two bottles of water of 1.5 liters each, they didn’t bring them later, but we took as much water from the bar for free as we needed wanted, so it's not a problem. There are some troubles with the bathroom, for example, to wash yourself, you had to wait 15-20 minutes until cold water drained, there were also huge drips on the ceilings, apparently from flooding from above. It doesn’t really matter to us, but it can be unpleasant for someone.
They also initially gave 2 towels, 2 sticks of coffee, 2 teas, although the room is triple. In general, apparently, the third bed on wheels was simply moved to our room - it is rather unstable, at night you can even roll over with the bed, which one of us did) It’s good that I didn’t hit my head on the corner of the bedside table, otherwise it would not be so funny.

2. The food is quite extensive and varied - nothing special, but often tasty. There are always pastries, meat, fish, cereals, pasta, vegetables, salads, sauces. Pancakes are baked in the morning, there are also oatmeal, a lot of sweets - various cakes and buns, and fresh fruits were also given once for dinner (melon, orange, pomegranate). There are no seafood.
There is one big BUT - on the 3rd day, either at breakfast or at lunch, we caught something so unpleasant (most likely some kind of intestinal infection), which caused all three of them to have a severe temperature, and, sorry for the details, we ran to the toilet until the end of the holiday. So stock up just in case with coal, sorbex and paracetamol in huge quantities. And I recommend taking a thermometer, as they tried to SELL it to us at the reception when we tried to take it to measure the temperature after poisoning in their dining room. With a fight, but got it.

3. Alcohol - draft "gasoline", all drinks taste the same, apparently, they are poured from the same barrel and dyes are added. If you plan to drink on vacation - take your own alcohol or buy only in duty free. In the Old Town they sell the same bodyaga as they pour in the hotel.
By the way, for 50 grams of Finnish vodka at the bar they asked for a price of 8-9 dollars, so a bottle will cost you 10 times more if you buy at a hotel).


4. There is practically no entertainment, once we watched tricks - well, for a C grade. There is also animation in the morning in a warm pool around 11:30 - someone may be interested, but not for us. They constantly go to offer massages, photo shoots, etc. , so get ready - they won’t let you lie quietly on the beach or by the pool.

5. The beach is clean, sandy, 5 minutes walk from the room in our case. Give out towels on cards. If you enter the water from the pontoon, there are beautiful corals and fish nearby, you can dive with a mask. In a large pool, the water is ice cold, there is a small heated pool - there are always crowds of people (well, this is logical). The sea when warm, when cold - depends on the current. Literally a day later, a red flag was hung out, although the weather was normal.
Also in this region it is very windy due to the proximity of Tiran Island - something like a natural "pipe" is formed, where a draft is constantly blowing.

6. The Internet is a separate issue. Initially, it is only in the lobby, and then it is so weak that there is not even anything to talk about. In the evening, simply sending a message home via messenger becomes a problem. The hotel offers to buy internet for 12 dollars for 6 days, and for 5 dollars - 2 days of internet. Pay attention to how these packages are formed - the standard ticket is for 7 days, so you will either have to be 1 day without the Internet, or pay $ 17 (for 6 + 2 days). Cheeky, isn't it?
And all the same, the connection is so-so, in addition - access is issued only to one device. That is, if there are at least two of you, get ready to either constantly fight for the Internet, or pay $ 12 each in order to simply have contact with your family during the holidays.
Some recommend buying local SIM cards, but we didn't bother. In general, today the Internet is an integral part of the vacation of a modern person, so in principle this practice with its absence is incomprehensible to me. Stone Age.

I put 3 points, one for the wonderful sea, corals and for the magnificent beauty of the Sinai mountains.
