Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For families with children; For recreation with friends, for young people
So I visited Egypt, chosen by our tourists.
Tour operator - Pegas Touristik, we fly with UIA.
Settled at no extra charge in a nice room overlooking the sea. All rooms in the main building have a sea view, which is a plus : ) Cards for beach towels are issued without a deposit, a safe in the room is free of charge. This is also pleasing.
Now briefly about the main points.
Rooms.
In addition to my own, I had a chance to visit the rooms of my friends. From what I see, I can conclude that all the rooms are not bad. Furniture and plumbing are new, everything works. Balconies/terraces are large. The TV has European channels and the Russian-language Channel One.
The territory of the hotel, interior and exterior was pleasing to the eye. Neat, original, lots of greenery.
Beach.
Big, there was no shortage of sunbeds even at 10 am. There is only one pontoon for everyone, there is also a bay for entering the water from the shore. Very beautiful reef, plenty of fish.

From water entertainment: bananas, pills and something else. Ride on a tablet for $15 - fun. The hotel has a diving school and equipment rental.
Animation was, but we were not interested in it.
Nutrition.
We stayed on a half board basis. The food is quite standard and edible. Drinks other than tea and coffee at breakfast are chargeable. They laid out a round sum for the rest. Soda $3, instant juice $4, fresh juice $6, beer $8, martini $12 per 50g. We stocked up on alcohol in Kiev duty free, and later bought juices and water in Neama Bay.
Contingent.
Russian-speaking tourists in the hotel are the absolute majority. Valery Meladze's disc is playing on the beach. . .
Staff.
There was one Russian-speaking person at the reception, the rest spoke good English. Everyone is very slow but polite.
The rooms were cleaned every day and quite qualitatively, the towels were changed, the bed, it seems, too... They don’t refuse tips)
Taxi from the hotel to Neamu - $10, to the old market - $15. You can get back 2 times cheaper.
Separately about excursions.
Representatives of Pegasus were at the hotel daily from 17.00 to 20.00. They booked 3 tours:
1. Bathyscaphe - $50. The ship is tilted under a submarine, the lower deck with portholes is under water, you can see corals, fish and scuba divers. Quite interesting, especially if with children.
2. Boat trip to Ras Mohammed. We sail on a yacht, 3 stops of 40 minutes for viewing the marine fauna, lunch and drinks.
3. Luxor (airplane) - $250. Very long, interesting and informative. The guide was good, so we were satisfied. The return flight was delayed for an hour, maybe it's a Pegasus chip?

We had a good rest. The flight to Kyiv is scheduled for 12:00, we were picked up from the hotel at 9:15. We arrived at the airport, went through registration, bombed duty free... 11:30, landing was not announced... we are waiting... Further, as in a fairy tale. Boarding was announced, loaded into the bus. The bus reached the plane, where an airport employee showed us something, they turned us around and brought us back. On the Boryspil website it says that our plane is already on its way. We were taken back to the plane half an hour later. We ended up leaving at 13:45. The flight attendants said - because of the bad weather in Kyiv, and the airport staff - because the pilot was not on site.
But the main thing is that they flew.
The conclusions are as follows.
It won't be long before you want to go to Egypt again. Not because it's bad... The weather, the sea, excursions are good. The local population and service are tiring.
You will never want to go to Egypt again with Pegas Touristik. Not because it's bad. . .
