Since this was our first foreign trip, we didn’t find fault with anything and didn’t demand anything except: 1) an iron to iron our clothes - she asked 2 times in English herself, the 3rd Pegasus guide at the hotel was already more insistent, 2) requests to destroy ants that just crawled out of the sewer drains and stuck around our toothbrushes, sink and bathtub. For some reason, the same 3 times! Despite my poor English.
It hurts a little that the staff treats citizens of Germany, England, Italy better than Russians and Ukrainians. The latter were generally ignored....Although SLOVENS pay more money for vouchers than Europeans - it's not clear....
They began to clean the room with high quality ONLY when they began to leave a tip (1-2 pounds), but the dust remained on the phone, the chest of drawers on the TV was broken and always strove to fall on my feet....I indicated all these complaints in the Questionnaire-questionnaire and gave it to reception. I think they will be thrown out.

Now for the good!
Room: Good, spacious, has a refrigerator, safe. I was struck by the toilets - from the toilets, sorry, you can drink!
Food: Plenty and varied. From 7.00 to 23.00 you can eat and drink coffee, and something stronger. The only negatives: a small assortment of fruits and the absence of a children's menu.
Territory: orgomnaya (unlike neighbor Hilton), green, very comfortable.
Animation Entertainment: during the day - they played volleyball, and did aqua aerobics, and Arab dances, and water polo! In the evening - for children at 20.30 - disco, for adults - at 21.30 some kind of show. There are no discos. Great gym - treadmills and Kettler bikes.
Sea: Awesome! Coral reefs, indeed, are only on the border of Hilton and Movenpick. But what a beauty! Fish - striped - the most amusing, they are all fed with rolls : )
Excursions: 3 countries are visible from the coast - Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Wherever you want, there you go. In Israel, 1- and 2-day tours for 220 and 380 bucks per person, respectively. Everyone goes to Jordan because of Petra, of course. Cost - 200. We went to Israel for 2 days. We looked at: the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Tel A-Viv, Yafo, all the holy places, the Israel Museum and even the Diamond Factory! The food is tolerable, they will also accommodate you to spend the night. Two minuses: people cross the border between Egypt and Israel in 20 minutes, we stood for 4 hours. So I don’t advise taking kids with you. Because there is nowhere to sit. ! And the Israeli military - worse than the Gestapo - walk around with machine guns and do not allow you to go beyond a certain line. The second minus is the lack of bottled water. DO NOT DRINK WATER FOR BOTTLE! I got....
in terms of bowel problems. . .
All in all, the holiday was great! We enjoyed it very much despite the minor annoyances! If a person goes to rest, and not look for a reason to nitpick, then this is a very good place to relax.
