Guys, pretty good hotel! I read a lot of reviews not too positive about the hotel, I was worried before the trip, but I was very satisfied.
1. We rested in August during Ramadan. We didn't experience any problems with this at the hotel. on the contrary, I will advise all my friends to go to Egypt at this particular time. in good hotels there is a REAL decline in tourists. That is, when we came to the restaurant, we could choose whatever our hearts wanted without any queues and crowds, take dishes on the fire on the street, drinks in the bar, then choose any of the many free tables, etc. At the end of the holiday, apparently in connection with the approach of Ramadan, the DARKNESS of Italians came in large numbers and a complete nightmare began! they are terribly ill-mannered, climb out of line, yell around the clock, etc. There were no Arabs with their families at all. the post has not ended yet, and we have already left.
2. Settlement. We went from Pegasus, the guide who brought to the hotel hinted at the fact that he advises to give a bribe of 30 dollars. at the reception for a good room. but did not insist on it. we have our own head on our shoulders - NOTHING PAID! The number was excellent! overlooking the 3 pools on the 2nd floor. in building 4. (maybe this is not the best building, because in the 1st and 2nd buildings they accommodate those who are not the first time in the hotel and those who have paid, but we are very pleased).

3. Nutrition. The choice is very good. True, in 2 weeks we became a little boring, although we still ate for a sweet soul =)) a lot of pastries and sweets. There were rolls, crabs (I expected more from them), tuna, all sorts of partridges. from fruits - dates, watermelons, melons, oranges, bananas, figs, grapefruits. a bunch of all sorts of pasta (probably for Italians - they gorged themselves on them), fries, various cereals, salads are also different. In general, we are not picky, and we always ate and left the restaurant satisfied. By the way, there were 3 main free restaurants on the territory of the hotel and 1 on the sandy beach. There are also 8 bars. Of the local drinks, only beer and white wine were preferred. The bartenders were treated loyally with understanding, they poor things during Ramadan do not drink all day in the heat!
4. Animation. Just Super! Many thanks to Masha, our Russian girl! Every morning they invite you to exercise, darts, water polo for children and adults (I advise !!! ), bowling, aqua aerobics. in the evening, too, performances, tricks, dances, mini-disco. then karaoke.
5. Room cleaning. not top notch. left the dollar nothing has changed. the cleaner lied about the cups and for some reason did not return the cups for 3-4 days, although we asked him every day. Even in the shower there was water on the floor, he did not expel it. In the end, I generally relaxed, only brought water and made the bed, and for example, I didn’t even hang their terry dressing gown in place in the bathroom. but honestly, these are such trifles, we did not notice them against the background of such a great holiday.
6. Excursions. GUYS, I ADVISE EVERYONE NOT TO BUY EXCURSIONS FROM A GUIDE FROM PEGASS TOURIST - IRINA. This is a very unpleasant woman and all she does is to impose her tours (which are 2 times more expensive than on the street and in fact are no different). She doesn't answer any more questions. Also, when she finds out that you are not stupid after all, and you didn’t buy excursions from her, she begins to intimidate you in every possible way, send you letters in which she “HIGHLY RECOMMENDS” not to buy excursions on the street, such as transport is faulty, guides - they do not speak Russian, insurance - does not apply, information about tours - does not correspond to reality. this is all complete nonsense! check it out yourself! She also interferes in every possible way with taking dry rations at the reception if you didn’t buy a tour from her. with dry rations there is generally a complete mafia =)) come to the stupid, impudent, to the reception and order for yourself. The hotel essentially doesn’t care who you take the tour from, you won’t be at the hotel, skip lunch, which means you have every right to dry rations! We bought excursions near Sonesti Club at the travel agency Sisi Travel. the boy Roma. Exit the hotel, to the right, pass our hotel and Sonesta and you will immediately see his office with a sign on the site. We took 4 excursions Tiran, Ras Muhamed, moto safari and Mount Moses. All tours are the bomb! spent $95 per person for all this!! ! Guide Mukhamed in Russian speaks wonderfully on any topic, not just memorized information. and when we were in Tirana, then in the place with us, half of the people on the same ship bought excursions from tour operators for 10-20 dollars. expensive.

7. Sea. It's just a fairy tale. for the sake of one such sea it is already worth going to this hotel! and it is very very important which reef has which hotel. We have a lot of fish, beautiful corals, a small pantone. The fish are diverse, they are not afraid, they merge if you rub the panton with your foot and shower silt (highly recommend =)))) In terms of the beauty of the sea, our coral beach is not much inferior to the Ras Muhamed marine reserve itself, and even more so about. Tyrant.
Have a nice holiday everyone. If you eat with a great mood, then you will have a very nice rest in this hotel!
Yes, my review is subjective, but it is honest and I hope it will help many =))
