In general, the rest is not bad. The hotel is not as bad as many reviews describe. We expected the worst.
Really quiet hotel. But for us, after a year of work and endless worries, it was for the good. A beautiful sea, a coral reef, a lot of fish, a pontoon was completed with us. A large green area is an oasis, since there are only mountains around and no vegetation, the beach is large, the rooms are large, the air conditioners work well. Russian-speaking tourists are 100% hotel guests.
Drinking water was squeezed. . Half a liter per person on the day of arrival was given out and that's it. During the day, yes, there was enough water, but after all, brush your teeth, etc. their tap water is not recommended and yes the room wanted water sometimes. And so the people had to either buy either at the hotel, or go to Nuweiba, or steal it from glasses into empty bottles.

I didn’t like some intrusive and not very friendly staff, especially for watercraft and massage, not only were they an eyesore every day, but they were also imposed every day,
A special negative was left from the bartender at the beach bar. Where did you get this freak? He tore the water from his heart a lot while saying the text in his own language, which was the most unpleasant because you don’t know if he pours obscenities on you or something.
Since the wind often blows, a lot of garbage is brought in in the form of dry algae, bags, bags, and therefore we had to swim in a pile of garbage while the beach workers either flirted with the girls or just sat and chatted. Drinks in bars were given out in plastic cups, while it was interesting to watch how the mother of some difficult worker rested. Every day she was taken to the beach in a wheelchair because she could not move well, and water and drinks were brought to her personally on a tray in glass cups.
Animation seems to be there, but still by and large it is not. Shows in the evenings are vulgar. In addition, when they wanted to, before dinner in a restaurant, they stood and said what kind of show they had, but mostly not. Darts with exercises they want to spend they don’t, I heard about the belly dance only at the end before leaving, there was no volleyball for all 11 days, they say the ball was punctured and it’s weak to buy a new one ? ! The show is not worked out in advance. For example, the "best couple" show was in jeopardy as all the couples refused to participate. Whereas in other hotels in advance in the afternoon they agree on the participation of certain couples. In addition, there were no fire shows or oriental dancers. It’s good that we got tired during the day and went to bed, but the youth, of course, is a bit boring, uninteresting. The animators themselves say that they do not like it here, there is nowhere to hang out except the hotel.

The restaurant really wants to be called a dining room rather. You won't be left hungry, there was enough food. But the feeling that they save a lot did not leave. The manager or whoever he is is a fat tall one with glasses running around the hotel fussing very carefully watching so that we don’t eat or drink anything when we were waiting to leave the hotel. One tourist had a bracelet on his hand, so he quickly made a face and the bracelet was cut off immediately. It was very unpleasant.
A separate word about the transfer and hotel guides Pegasus. THIS SUCK. I'm not sure if something will help. We had a very unfortunate incident on our way out. One of the tourists lingered on handing over the towels and was waiting for the handsome man who received him to appear, so at the reception they presented 25 dollars. He tells them that I have no money, but they are not interested in it - pay. The bus arrived and the non-Russian transport bastard immediately took the side of the hotel. The things of this tourist were not given away and he was not released. Other tourists tried to take his things, so the hotel workers began to use force, grab the clothes to pick up the bag. The whole group stood up for this tourist and as a result, methods of psychic attack were used - at first we sat on the bus and waited for 15 minutes near the hotel. Then they said to drive the bus to the parking lot with us. There are still 15 minutes. Then the transfer bastard came and said I agreed: they reduced the amount for you, pay at least 10 dollars. A shame! The money was given, but he was hooted; everyone said what they thought of him and Pegasus, etc. The road passed in silence, and he spoke on the phone for a long time in his Arabic about how goats we are.
Separately, I want to say about excursions. From Pegasus they are expensive from Abdullah cheaper. He also raised prices though. I read the reviews so in June a trip to Israel cost 100 dollars. We went for 110 although I wanted 120. First you need to go to the Dead Sea. In our case, it was the other way around. I want to warn everyone. the guide Valery took us to Jerusalem in the morning. as a result, everything was closed around the temple, all the shops, we could not buy anything, the most unpleasant thing is that we did not get into the kuvuklu, this is the place of the resurrection of Christ in the temple where the fire descends. Then when he brought us to an expensive store from which he has interest, we understood why he did this. Conclusion: specify all the details at once.
From our group, some tourists went with Abdullah to Cairo had an accident, thank God everything worked out.

That's it. There may be a lot of negativity in my review, but in fact we liked the trip, we are satisfied.
