So, on October 23, I went with my family to rest in Egypt. The hotel was chosen new, just built. Recommendations were quite normal because Amwaj beach resort & spa was chosen. I must say right away that the hotel is being completed. More precisely, 2 buildings a la vip are unfinished. But it didn't bother me at all. There were no noises, and if you heard work on finishing the rooms, it was only when you pass next to the building.
The rooms are pretty decent. Pretty decent size. Clean. Of course, it’s not worth writing about the quality of the finish - such craftsmen worked for us - I would have torn off my head and hands. But let's make allowances for the Arabs. There is natural laziness.
Cleaned up in the room well. Minus - they put only plain water in the refrigerator. No Coca Cola or anything. This is for mani. For example, in Turlandia hotels are not greedy on this.

For nutrition. I would not say that the assortment is straight helluva lot. No. Pretty simple. But what is important - everything is edible. There are hotels where it is impossible to eat anything at all. There were also meat and many fish dishes. Crabs, shrimp, etc. Quite. From drinks - standard. Red, white, rose wine. Gin, whiskey, cognac, beer, etc. ) A small selection of cocktails. Same thing - nothing new as usual. I must say that the bartenders on the beach and by the pool are much friendlier than the reception.
The downside is the lack of cleanliness. The same napkins on the table must be asked. Why they do not put it right away is a mystery. Yes, and removed let's say the beach bar is not very good. Although in recent days someone from the inspectors or the management apparently arrived - they fussed about the current on the way. Of course, there is nowhere to go outside the territory - the desert.
The beach is clean. In the territory. What kind of territory - history is silent. The entrance to the sea is quite normal. Carved corals. You have to dig a lot to get to the depths. Animation - C grade. Yes, fun by the pool. Yes, it's good for kids. But with regards to the evening - skit 9 ​ ​ classes. And it's a stretch.
The impression of the hotel is quite good. Well, now about the operator.
The trip was through the Pegasus company.
We met well - there were no questions. Posted etc. But then it was more fun.
Our hotel guide was a certain Madame Olesya Ugryumova. Initially, Madame is unfriendly and answers questions either through "I do not want" or rather arrogantly. Find out something about the hotel and so forth - it's better in your own ways - so as not to spoil your mood.
Anyway.
The adventure continued when it was time to leave. Instead of the announced flight on 30.10 at 19.45, we were famously rescheduled for 5.00 on the same 30.10. This, according to conservative estimates, we smeared commercials for 14-15 hours. I understand charters. Anything can happen. But not as much. However, Pegasus, as I was told, is the norm. Well. OK. They didn't let me go to the sea in the morning.

We ask Olesya to inform the reception to wake up at 11.45, as the bus will pick us up at 0.30. A nod of the head, the standard "uh-huh" - all by numbers. Thank God we do not really hope for a wake-up call and set alarms. When we asked why they didn’t wake us up while waiting for the bus, do you know what they answered us? Olesya supposedly said to wake up at 4.30....The question - what does this person think - is not clear.
But these are also flowers.
The bus arrives 15 minutes late for us. Do you think Pegasovsky? And no shit. They didn’t grow together there, so the bus was generally some kind of left company. The truth with the Pegasus worker. We are going to the airport. Here it turns out that the Pegasus guide is nervous, because the driver who was given does not speak English at all. He doesn't understand a single word. Even left and right. Not one at all. On the bus, he does not know where the air conditioning is turned off, because the guide was doing it. Fine? But this is also bullshit. HE DOESN'T KNOW THE TERRAIN AT ALL. We are TWO and a half hours circling in the desert because this body has no idea where which hotels are. We go by touch, crossing ourselves as if not to fly anywhere. I’m silent that this body smokes while driving, which I have not seen at all in any normal company.
In general, summarizing, I will say this. If in general the impression of the rest and the hotel were normal, then it was the Pegasus company that spoiled it. Yes, so my family has no desire to use their services anymore.
