The tour operator Pegas did not work very well, although, I don’t know whether it was their fault or not, that at the very last moment they changed the airport of departure and the departure on the last day was moved from the end of the day to the beginning, and as a result we left a whole day earlier. It's a shame that the money was still paid for that day. And so, there were no resettlements (although, to be honest, after reading the reviews about the resettlement, it was scary to go), when we bought a ticket, we were assured that Pegasus did not do such resettlements, we took a chance and did not regret it at all.
I would like to note the work of our guide Alisher from Pigas, who works at the hotel, he will clearly explain everything, tell and show, all emerging issues are also resolved immediately.
I will immediately comment on the previous review from Anastasia, it feels like we were in another hotel, where everything is much brighter and more fabulous than in the hotel where Anastasia was ((((I don’t know what else is more for people for this money you need something, or really "got stuck". But in general, who goes for what... and who wants to take what from the rest.

I really liked the hotel with its chic territory, the staff is polite, always with a smile and say hello and find out how things are going and ask if everything is fine . . The attitude towards Russians is excellent and there is no racial separation, everyone is treated equally well. The hotel is mostly English and Russian. In general, in Sharm, in terms of location and style, it seems to me that this hotel is the most beautiful. The pools are all clean with clear blue water. I saw a couple of times that flower petals were floating there, autumn all the same...
Much has been written about the sea, I can only confirm that it’s 800 meters to go along the pantone, but it didn’t bother us, you look at the fish along the way, there are two descents (the first 400 meters from the coast is waist-deep), and after another 400 you can already and dive and see beautiful corals with fish. But you can dive only in calm weather. So who is traveling overseas to Egypt, choose another hotel so that there are no complaints later. The wind is often there.
As for the service on the territory, all bars and restaurants are open. I wanted to say about disposable cups that they did the right thing, that they replaced glass ones on the beach and near the pools with disposable ones - I think that for the sake of our own safety, God forbid they break in such places. And there is nothing terrible here. And in other places everywhere glass. A lot of entertainment for children, but I wouldn’t take mine to Egypt, which I did, it’s sooooo hot there. For adults, there will also be entertainment. . water polo, volleyball, billiards, etc.
The food is good, a lot of everything and pastries and cakes and meat and fish. In general, you will not go hungry. In addition, during the day and on the beach you can have a delicious snack and hot dishes and soft drinks. Very tasty beer throughout the hotel. Were in all restaurants, and there are 4 of them except for the main one (in Italian, fish, Chinese, oriental). I will not mark any special one, but you can go to each of them once for a change.

We lived in building 6, this is room 6201 superior, on the second floor in the very center of all events, overlooking the main pool and the sea. Also nearby is the main restaurant of Marrakesh, the center of all evening and daytime entertainment, a kids club, a Russian bath, a spa with various types of massages and other procedures. So do not regret when you check in 100 dollars and you will live like in a fairy tale. We did not shove money into the passport, the manager himself first wrote the amount of $ 200 for relocation to another room from the standard, but we refused and then he wrote $ 100, after which we agreed.
There is a TV in the room (4 Russian channels), bottled water upon check-in, a kettle, tea, coffee and sugar every day, a telephone in the room and bathroom, a safe (instructions are given at the reception), a double balcony. I would like to say about tips . . strange, but they are not taken in the room after cleaning. No matter how much we left in both dollars and pounds, the cleaner never took it away.
We went on excursions to Cairo to see the pyramids, to Israel - Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, took a bathyscaphe and went diving. The most tiring excursion is to Cairo, the city itself is very dirty, you stop by a papyrus factory, a perfume factory, lunch on a boat on the Nile, it’s very hot and you’re on your feet all the time, you walk a lot . . but you still need to look at the pyramids for marking , after all, one of the wonders of the world....history)) Its cost is $ 80 per person
I liked Jerusalem, with its bewitching temples and ancient buildings, they brought us to the store, where you can buy gold, silver, icons, etc. Lunch in Jerusalem, breakfast and dinner at the Dead Sea. Price per person $210
I also liked the bathyscaphe - this is an excursion for someone who is afraid to scuba dive)). Price per person $50
Scuba diving 1 time to 6 meters 55 dollars + if you are filmed under water on camera, then the disc costs 60 dollars. The recording is exceptional, everything is clearly mantled, I recommend buying it, a very good memory.
