Hello dear travelers! Rested together with his wife in the hotel from 10.12. 2010 to 23.12. 2010.
I really liked the hotel, although we got into it by accident, because we booked Nesco joyous a month before (from Rostov, the problem is to get last-minute tours, everything is sold out in advance), due to sharks, we had to rebook to Taba, and the choice was limited.
When we arrived at the hotel we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms are in good repair, although the furniture is not new, they cleaned decently, every day the cleaner wove something from towels for which he sometimes received $, 1.5 water was delivered regularly, the room was 2203 from which you can see the magnificent territory immersed in flowers and the sea (the rooms are all with sea views). There is a construction site on both sides of the hotel, but it is frozen, in good weather you can see the opposite coast - Saudi Arabia and Jordan further to the left.

Food is quite decent for Egypt. At lunch and dinner, something is cooked on the grill, often two dishes.
There is always 2-3 types of meat and also fish, although they do not know how to cook crabs and mussels. There is enough fruit, at least 5-7 items. Sweets is another story!
The pool is large and heated.
There are enough sunbeds on the beach, but it is better to take it until 9 am, so that there is a good place. Entry into the sea from the pontoon, and to the left of it you can from the shore. The reef starts to the right of the pontoon, sailed along it for 300-400 meters, filmed a lot of interesting things, although this is not Mars and not Sharm, but quite! Also on the right there are sandbanks with reef islands, it is very beautiful there. There I filmed a stone fish on video (I wanted to for a long time) and a meter blue moray eel!
Egyptian booze, but pour as much as you want, by the way, always in glass and wash dishes decently!
ANIMATION is up! The level of school initiative. Twice there was an Egyptian show with professional artists - it's super!
But as always there is a fly in the ointment in the hotel! ! ! This is the Pegasus guide Samir.
A boor and an ill-bred type, in whose eyes only the percentage of the sale of vouchers shines! ! !

Israel 1 day 175$ for them, and for a van tour, space tour, sinai travel 90$!! ! ! The greed of Pegasus knows no bounds. The local travel company was contacted at home. When leaving for Israel, Samir put on a show with the involvement of the local police, threatened to throw our things away and put us in jail. A full bus was waiting for us for 40 minutes (most of it was from Sharm), as a result we were late in time for customs and had to stand there for 5 hours. But the tour is super, everything went at the highest level, by the way, Pegasus has this tour in a stripped-down version. We have no regrets! If someone does not want to double pay for excursions, then arrange to be taken away from the hotel, as many do in order to avoid such scandals as happened with us. Attention 20.12. 2010, while traveling to Cairo, the Pegasus bus from our hotel overturned, but thank God no one was seriously injured.
The next day, Samir returned $ 30 as compensation - a shame! ! ! I heard that letters have been prepared to the management of the Pegasus and the hotel about the inappropriate behavior of this type, I hope he will not work there soon! ! ! On this, all the negative of this hotel is exhausted.

Summing up, I want to say the rest was a success! All we wanted here was a beautiful sea, sun, a lot of positive emotions and a great mood! ! !
