First, the negative: we flew to Sharm in the evening, drove to the hotel for a long time, almost 5 hours, delivered to 6 hotels, ours was the last one, and in one of the previous ones the bus hit the barrier, it took a long time to figure it out, the day was gone, that's probably all.
- then the bus guide was very apologetic and asked what room we had booked (standard 2 adults + child) offered to agree on an improvement and for 70 ye they offered us a bungalow with access to the pool with its own separate towel rack and a bar that did not run out of drinks, for him the lawn and the sea;
- about the room: it consists of two levels - a bedroom, a king bed and an extra bed brought in 10 minutes after check-in, a table and a TV, go down 3 steps - a living area sofa, armchairs, a table and another TV, two behind a glass wall sun lounger and table under a canopy. They cleaned and changed the bed daily, always at the time when we were at sea ($1) per day. In the bathroom, shampoo, shower gel, conditioner and body lotion, soap replenished as needed, quite decent quality;

- bar "pharaoh": they make decent coffee and cocoa, I really liked the "cube libra" cocktail (cola, rum, ice, lemon), after 19.00 salted nuts and chips for beer, established friendly contacts with the waiters ($ 1) everyone brought and did not "end";
- restaurant: food of a normal level (beef, chicken, fish). In the evening: roast geese, turkey, beef in large pieces, grilled steaks from a giant fish, squid skewers, liver, kibabs. True, they were waiting for strawberries, they did not wait. Everything is fine with the stomachs, they didn’t drink pills, they didn’t disinfect with alcohol. They just followed the rule to use antiseptic at the entrance. As for the waiters delivering drinks, they didn’t load, before and after the meal they went to the bar and drank mostly there, although when I went to the restaurant alone, without my men, they escorted me to the table and offered drinks right away.
- the sea is clear, we saw an octopus, basking in shallow water on a stone and changing color, a stingray, moray eels (white and motley), lionfish, parrots, more than a meter crocodile fish, a small turtle, and many other fish;
- Excursions, signed off on an Internet with the locals ($ 85), everything went fine, the guide in Jerusalem-Bethlehem was just a wonderful former inhabitant of Odessa Semyon, as it turned out later, someone drove a Pegasus two years ago, he drove the same. Rumor has it that Israel will close the Taba crossing from July. We went on foot to Israel to the Oceanarium, it took 20-25 minutes to walk from the checkpoint, the child and I were delighted, we saw all the marine inhabitants live. The exit fee from Israel in the amount of 98.4 shekels was not paid, the pass was given free of charge, when they explained that they had been on an excursion the day before and showed a passport and a ticket from the hotel. Walk on a yacht to the island of the Pharaohs with a fortress, bought on the Hilton beach, $ 10 cheaper than Pegasus.

- animation, not intrusive, as the animators themselves explained to us, this is the hotel's policy of "quiet, relaxing vacation. " Minus in the children's club, the animator is an Arab girl (in a headscarf), speaks Russian poorly. Looking at her on the first day at the evening disco, my 9 year old son refused to go to the club.
-reception, a wonderful girl Marina, who explained everything to us and told us much better than the Pegasus guides, who, apart from excursions, were not interested in anything.
Conclusion: a decent hotel for those who do not like the roar of a disco until 5 am, the screams of drunken compatriots and the pestering of animators.
