The hotel is consistent with both the name and the stars. Cleanliness, comfort, huge territory, everything is well-groomed. Just a paradise in the desert. attentive, sensitive staff, having learned about us as tourists from Ukraine, they immediately began to communicate tolerably even in Ukrainian. Lots of greenery. Neat, clean pools. Unlike others, especially Turkey, there are no queues at restaurants, beach bars. In general, until the day of departure, the feeling of emptiness in the hotel did not leave. Feeding is decent. There was a soup with crabs, squid, mussels, fish and meat all the time, fruits and vegetables are not very many, but quite enough, according to the season, although there could be more fruits. The beer is excellent, good whiskey and rum. Water was given as much as needed, as well as takeaway tonics, soda, etc. Good animation. My wife spent half a day on fitness, water aerobics and club dances. The animator guys work until lunch, and the animator girl is a star, she "floats" all day with an important look around the territory and does nothing. Every evening. Once a week competition for Miss Hotel. We got hit twice once it was fun. Live music plays daily in the evening (with a local flavor), but it gets boring. They brought a dance group, in my opinion from Russia, very vulgar and primitive.
The hotel is very quiet, calm, sets up for a good rest.
The whole taba is four hotels - intercontinental, Mariot, Sofitel, Hayat. All are a single connected closed and protected area. Intercontinental in terms of service, territory - the best. The beach is large, very clean, cleaned daily. stories about strictness on the beach are nonsense, half of the women sunbathe top-wood, and even more at the edges.

Normal hotel guide from Pegasus - Alexander Shatny. Unobtrusive, but quite competent and attentive. For the first time in all my trips, I realized that a hotel guide is good.
We went to Israel. Braoi tour at Pegasus - 175 dollars. from a person. everything would be fine if it were not for the rudeness of Russian tourists who went to Jerusalem to drink beer, so they were constantly late. In general, Pegasus got a little snickered with the price, the same trip from local travel companies costs 90 USD.
Of course there are disadvantages. First and foremost - the hotel management for some reason did not come up with a place to enter the sea, at least they built a primitive pier as in Hayat. Our sea was stormy, so entering the sea was very problematic. On the beach of the hotel in the sea there are not many corals and a sufficient number of fish, turtles (I even managed to ride a turtle), but only daredevils can look at it, since there is practically no entrance to the sea.
The second unpleasant moment appeared in recent days. This is the appearance among vacationers of a significant number of Arabs with their harems. We were warned about respect for the cultural values ​ ​ and traditions of the Arabs, but they should also treat us with respect. When the owner of the harem bathes his johns in the sea in their national costumes consisting of trousers, burqas, etc. it's their business, but when a dozen women, dressed to their ears, bathe in the pool, it's like washing their suits.
