Хорошо отдохнули. We had great rest.

The hotel is in the Arabic style, a little cramped in my opinion, but perhaps this feeling is due to the specifics of the style. There are few windows, they are, but the stained glass lets in little light. And we are people from the Urals and we wanted a lot of light always and everywhere. The rooms also have stained-glass windows, so it’s always twilight, but such lighting didn’t bring us discomfort, it was nice to enter a darkened and cool room after the heat. I liked the interior of the room. The rooms are different, there are in the Arabic seat, there is in the European one, but the only difference between the European style is the large exit window to the balcony. Everything else is the same. We checked in 2 hours after arrival, waited 20 dollars very diligently, but we decided to see what they would offer us without money, and if anything, then pay and change the room. The room was given behind the bar "Tropicana" it is far from the reception and it is very calm there. True, the view from the balcony did not please us - at a construction site)))) The hotel is building more buildings.
But we didn't use the balcony - it's hot. So we decided to stay in this room. Cleaning every day, leaving a tip every day, plus treated the staff with chocolate from Russia. In this regard, we built dolphin hearts and other structures on the bed)). The food is normal, everything is fresh, well cooked, there were no poisonings. Meat - beef, quail, duck, lamb. Fish in different forms, chicken. Every evening they have a themed dinner of different countries, near the restaurant they hang out every day the cuisine of which country they will feed us for dinner. But I did not notice any significant differences in preparation. There were few fruits. Melon, watermelon, dates, guava, apples, bananas and once oranges. As I understand it, they were not in the season of oranges, so they gave them once. There are a lot of pastries of every kind, as well as everywhere in Egypt. Drinks at the bar until midnight, later the bars close. Bottled beer is pretty decent. Merchants in the shops of the hotel are pissed off,
but for a chocolate bar from Russia they make a decent discount, as in stores on Naama Bay. For our vodka, we were given $100 worth of souvenirs for free (a mother-of-pearl box, a hand-painted decorative plate, and I don’t remember any other trifle). The hotel has 3 slides, they work by the hour, a couple of hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening. Sea. The beach at Sonesta Beach Hotel. 10 minutes walk, less by bus. The bus leaves the hotel every half an hour. There are enough sun loungers. go to the same beach from the Fantasia hotel. The bar of our hotel on the beach was a portable wheelbarrow with two refrigerators)))). Drinks were poured into plastic disposable cups. The sea is ugly. The entrance is from the pontoon, there are stones all around, then immediately a reef, behind the reef it is already deeper, but there begins a place where boats, catamarans and yachts constantly travel, it is impossible to swim. We went to a nearby beach, right after the equipment rental. There the entrance is sandy, wide enough, but there are also many reefs, the reef is winding.

A week after our arrival, the tides began to ebb. Near the coast, the sea became completely shallow, it became impossible to swim, until you go to the waist - a reef begins, you can swim shallowly above it, you can plow the stones with your stomach. I went to the beach of the Sofitel hotel, behind the wooden pier. There the entrance is sandy, fenced, it's deep, there are no boats and a beautiful big reef. It's really too far to go. But the opportunity to swim perfectly compensated for this shortcoming. We did not buy slippers for swimming, we swam without them, many were injured on sharp reefs. But we are good swimmers and have not floundered in shallow water. Small black fish - bite. ))) Near the buoys - lionfish, a stingray dangled not far from the shore, one girl stepped on it during aerobics on the beach, got injured, although she was in slippers.
Excursions bought from the hotel guide and on the street. There is such a Roma, his office is next to the hotel on the right. Cheaper than the guide and much better. Now about our tour operator.
We always went from Coral, but this time we went from Pegasus. A nightmare! Guide at the hotel Kashirina Irina. I don't understand why she works there. Her job is to protect the hotel staff from us, her tourists. It was immediately announced to us - what did you decide that you came to paradise? Well, we didn’t go to paradise, we actually came on vacation. She did not want to communicate with us, they pulled out all the information about the hotel with tongs, while with her fish face she let us know how we got her. Well, if you don't want to work here, go home to Russia and work there. We were not spoiled by the staff - spoiled by Irina. After the quad bike tour, we went up to her in a frenzy to express our indignation. We rode in a group with Italians, British, but we are Russians! My husband had an ATV with broken headlights (driving in complete darkness), my ATV had faulty brakes. Virtually no brakes. When we laid it all out for her,
she said the sacramental phrase: "It can't be! " Hello! Did I dream that my ATV crashed into the one in front 3 times? And I'm not the first time driving an ATV! Bought an excursion on the street on the same quad bikes was just great! We rode without a group, only with an instructor. Everything was perfect and we were very pleased. Another excursion on a yacht in Ras Mohammed. They also took it from the guide out of stupidity. Masks, fins, vests were rented to us for money)))) The same excursion bought on the street is 2 times cheaper and the rental is free. On the yacht, we signed a piece of paper that we are personally responsible for everything that can happen to us on the reefs, including equipment rented from them))))))). For some reason, insurance begins to operate after you pay the visiting doctor $ 30 (no receipt), even if the case is insured. ))) This is the first time I see it. )))) Fortunately, we did not need to see a doctor.

We really liked the tour itself, the reef is very beautiful !!!!! ! Yes, and we had fun on the yacht. The guide is a great guy, the instructors too.
Animation at the hotel was every day, no. You can see who has not seen the dance with skirts, cobra show and Arabic dance performed by a young gay Arab. The rest is not worth the time. Animators - girls from Ukraine. Very boring.
We went to Naama Bay. Too far. But we did not take a taxi, we were just interested in walking. You have to walk in a crowd, it’s calmer, because the Arabs cling to the road and drag it to their shops. Some fell under cruel oppression in general, they grabbed them by the hands on the street and dragged them to the store, they didn’t really let them look at anything, they packed them, shoved them into their hands. We didn’t get hit by this, there were a lot of police and military, everything is relatively quiet. We turned the bracelets over, because they already know all the hotel bracelets and start: "Oh, Sonesta club, I know, come with me, etc.
"Well, in general, we were satisfied with the rest, Pegasus could not spoil our mood. The hotel fully justifies its four.
