We rested in this hotel from December 2 to December 13.2010. As elsewhere, there are pluses and minuses, but overall I liked it.
The hotel is new, (there are imperfections that are immediately eliminated), the staff is very helpful. The food is varied, the cuisine is mostly European. The menu is varied. I liked the meat dishes and desserts (we tried very hard). The bars have all kinds of local alcoholic drinks. Toward the end of our stay, a sign appeared: "We value your interactions, so please only order one drink at a time. " I recommend trying Arabic coffee - very tasty!
The hotel has a couple of shops. Their prices are too high. But as usual, bargaining is appropriate. So many little things can be bought cheaper than in Russia (coral slippers, snorkel masks). We bought lemon oil in an oil store - a very useful product for those whose work is connected with a computer. A 10-minute walk is another hotel - there is much more choice and prices.

From the declared SPA-salon there are only massage therapists, on the beach in a tent, the guys are professionals, Misha alone is worth something, people, of course, do not bring them down because of the prices, but from experience I know you can bargain a little.
The rooms are cozy, always clean, figures from towels are present.
Every evening a good entertainment program (competitions, skits, professional dances), animators from Argentina and Ukraine. Julia and Anton dragged out the whole program, because the Argentines only know English and Spanish (and Russian-speaking tourists mostly lived in the hotel. )
After the animation program, discos are held in the bar, and how could it be without a disco of the 80s.
Hotel guide Daria....just a person, she is trying to earn money and therefore intimidates visitors about complications at the border (Egypt-Russia) if they went on excursions not from Pegasus (that is, when leaving you may be asked for a receipt paid for in Israeli border). People want to say that "Pegasus" is an ordinary company, and like everyone else offers excursions, but at an inflated price.
We went to Israel with the company Sinai-Travel (Sinai-Travel) ($95) (there is still a "One tour" -$90 and why didn't I go with them), it all started very "very good", but 7 hours on our feet, calling the company and asking what to do, they answered “These are not our problems, we are not responsible for the work of customs control”, who would argue, but humanly you can answer, like... “be patient people... summer is coming...." and because of this, the entire excursion was shortened, so that we, like meteors, swept over Israel and returned to the promised land with a taste of regret that we didn’t get to the “manger” in the Church of the Nativity, we didn’t get to the place where the Holy Fire descends in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and the wailing wall has remained only in our memories, because on Friday, at sunset, Shabbat comes, and it is no longer possible to create anything new - that is, to photograph. The guide's name was Sergey - a highly qualified guide. Thanks to him. Israeli Duty-free prices are lower than in Egyptian or Moscow (were)
By the way, the all-inclusive system is only valid until 22:00.

The disadvantages of the hotel include:
1. cold water in the pool, (i. e. there is no declared heating)
2. they bring beach towels late (and many leave them in the evening)
But in general, rest... GOOD and "it's better to have a bad rest than to work well"!!!
I wish you a good rest.
