The hotel is clean, tidy, the rooms are also clean, modern, everything is as in the photo. Water pressure and temperature are good. Cleaned every day and well. This is one of the pluses. Further, the audibility in the rooms (but it's like everywhere else), we got a grandmother with a hell of a cough on the one hand and a TV lover on the other.

The hotel is clean, tidy, the rooms are also clean, modern, everything is as in the photo. Water pressure and temperature are good. Cleaned every day and well. This is one of the pluses.
Further, the audibility in the rooms (but it's like everywhere else), we got a grandmother with a hell of a cough on the one hand and a TV lover on the other. But this is nonsense against the background of the fact that Russians are settled around the pool, and there....our Music is from the 90s, and karaoke twice a week and put out the lights. But all this action is only until 11 pm. In general, tolerable, and who is on the same wavelength is so excellent.
Twice in a week we saw cockroaches in the bathroom. The first was about three centimeters, but the second turned out to be red, 6-7 centimeters long, only the body.
We rested in February, it was raining all over Jordan, sandstorms, and snow in general in Petra. During this time, the hotel, where there is nothing to do, turned off the Wi-Fi . .
Location.
On Booking it is indicated that they have their own rental, this is a lie. And it’s very bad without a car, because the hotel is not in Aqaba, it stands like a pimple in the middle of the desert, it’s a bit far to go to Aqaba (about 10-15 dinars one way by taxi), there is a bus from the hotel twice a day at two and at eight, You need to sign up for this bus at 8 in the morning, but there are already no seats at 8-30. No shops, no pharmacies, no walking distance. Around the desert and all.
Beach.
The hotel does not have its own beach! It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the nearest public beach over rough terrain, just count in the desert. There is also a bus that runs twice a day from the hotel. The beach is very dirty, and from the hotel they will simply give you sunbeds for free, which the Arabs do not want to pull, but they are heavy. Our women were arguing there. We were on this beach, and in Tala Bay, and in Aqaba. It is better than in Aqaba, but worse than in Tala Bay. In general, there are paid beaches, like European ones, cleaned, but the entrance is immediately from 20 Dianar. Personally, I concluded that this hotel is for those who are very picky about the beach. And if you want civilization, then you need any of the hotels in Tala Bay, since the beach is cleaned in this closed complex. But also the price.
Food.
Not exactly nothing to eat, but not a super buffet either. Breakfast - they make scrambled eggs, waffles, there is oatmeal. But there is no choice of sausages or cheese. Lunch and dinner - there is always rice, chicken in some form and fish or meat. I wouldn't say wow, but not a disaster either. What surprised me was that there were no fruits and desserts. Only cut apples, and from desserts only a biscuit.
The drinks. Their local coffee, tea, water, pepsi, juice - everything is unlimited. Beer, vodka, local whiskey included. I can not say the quality, did not try.
In general, I would give this hotel a good review, if not for the last day. He completely beat off the good impressions, and now my positive review has become negative. The flight from Moscow (these are the main guests of the hotel, the majority) is carried out in such a way that you check in at 7 pm, and depart at 6 pm. So on the day of departure at exactly 12, as in the fairy tale about Cinderella, your vacation ends and a good attitude towards you. The administrator runs after the tourists with scissors and cuts off the bracelets. I went for coke and water, the bar refused to pour. Only after my appeal to the manager was they allowed to drink again. Lunch on the last day - paid! When I said that we didn’t eat like that on the first day, they said that on the first day, check-in was after 3, so on the first day, in any case, only dinner was included in the price. Here is a question for Pegasus, how do they negotiate with the hotel so that the first day is cheaper for the cost of lunch? ))) And how do they leave tourists hungry, because the hotel is in the middle of the desert, there are no alternatives, I saw how at the airport and in on the plane, people took out what they managed to "steal" at breakfast - eggs, buns... And this is some kind of shame, not for tourists, but first of all for the hotel. Also, to Pegasus, a question about the missing guide, who does not observe the attitude towards tourists on the last day from the side of the hotel. For example, in the women's toilet, 3 out of 4 cubicles were locked, and the toilet bowl leaked in the rest. No one solved this issue, including the Russian-speaking girl at the reception. Thus, I just wanted to leave this hotel as soon as possible, where immediately after removing the bracelets you feel "extra at the celebration of life. " But it is parting with tourists that is remembered the most and creates the impression of a trip. I talked about this with the hotel administrator, that this is not the case, and I would like to leave a complaint about such treatment of tourists, he answered me that I can write my impressions on the sites. What I am doing.

Dear vacationers! I never look for negativity on vacation. I do not recommend this hotel to you. The beach sucks. The bus runs every three hours. Meals are like in a normal canteen, there is no choice. The meals are the same every day. The territory is not large, but there are not many vacationers. The bar is a separate song, the bar workers will not break down to pour once again, only you hear negative things in your address, beer by the hour, alcohol diluted from the initial bottled and even cola they give you a body.

The bar is a separate song, the bar workers will not break down to pour once again, only you hear negative things in your address, beer by the hour, alcohol diluted from the initial bottled and even cola they give you a body. One glass in hand, God forbid you mention the second, you will hear a lot of new things about yourself. The bar and its employees spoil the whole holiday. One gets the impression that they buy alcohol at their own expense. Just such freaks. Music is generally kapets, there is no talk of any kind of animation. They downloaded the music themselves and turned it on themselves via bluetooth, again negative from the staff. Guys, entertain yourself, just don't touch us. Closer to 23, do not be surprised that they will tell you: "we are tired, fuck off. " Which 4 is 3 stars and then in absentia. In general, if you are interested in just a hutch with food, this is the rest for you.

We arrived at the hotel at 9 am, we were sent to meet with the Pegasus guide, at 10 we finished. Check-in from 15:00, I had to wait until 15:00, they don’t give any food at all, meals start from dinner and end with breakfast, it turns out that they don’t give tourists one meal - lunch. There is no food in the lobby bar, some terrible pasta and sandwiches, we saw how people took it, we didn’t even take it, the price is 400 rubles.

Check-in from 15:00, I had to wait until 15:00, they don’t give any food at all, meals start from dinner and end with breakfast, it turns out that they don’t give tourists one meal - lunch. There is no food in the lobby bar, some terrible pasta and sandwiches, we saw how people took it, we didn’t even take it, the price is 400 rubles. There is a desert around the hotel and nothing, no cafes, no shops, the closest is Aqaba 15 km from the hotel, I had to take a taxi for 500 r one way and 500 r back. There we ate normally in a cafe and bought water. the next day we went to the beach - the beach turned out to be 15 minutes on foot from the hotel in unbearable heat, although they said that the first line and the beach were close. As a result, the buses to the beach at 8.05. . The beaches are dirty, the hotel’s beach is 60 meters long in total, there are 8 umbrellas on it and that’s it, although there are much more people, the sun loungers are not allowed to be taken out of the beach, as a result, the hotel employee takes these sun loungers directly from the hotel guests and tries to shove them under the umbrellas with other people , as a result, 5-10 people are stuck under one umbrella. On the second day, they tried to take a sun lounger away from the hotel beach on metro 5, the next umbrella is outside the hotel beach, also a free area with umbrellas, but without sun loungers, as a result, the hotel employee began to snatch sun loungers from us and say go to the reception complain, I'll call the police now said I won't give you a sun lounger. The beaches are dirty, there are cigarette butts everywhere, a lot of locals are sitting looking at all the girls, they are filming girls on camera, everything was terrible. The food at the hotel at the beginning was normal, there was at least a choice, but after a few days horror began, there was no meat, no fruit, one rice and fried potatoes, hair was constantly found in food, water was poured into coolers from the tap, it even stank of bleach , constant bloating from water, and you can only buy in Aqaba. On the 4th day, half of the hotel was poisoned from dinner at the hotel, some fell ill for several days, even called an ambulance, they don’t respond to complaints, they say that you are sure that there was food, etc. It makes no sense to complain about the reception about something. In the bar at the pool of juices, 2 types of orange and strawberry, which are heavily diluted with water, it is impossible to drink. Cleaning is late, at 3 o’clock, when you try to rest to lie down, they always come to clean up, they put toilet paper only if it’s over at all, if at least something hangs on a roll, they don’t give it, you have to look for a cleaner and ask for paper. The toilet is not washed in the bath, only the floors are filled and the linen is filled, in 15 days the linen was changed 1 time.

The hotel is located in Tala Bay. Complimentary drinks are served immediately upon arrival. The hotel is cozy, they check in quickly - they give a surname, they give out an envelope with keys and bracelets, and you are free. The director of the hotel himself meets and often walks himself to see how the guests are resting.

The hotel is cozy, they check in quickly - they give a surname, they give out an envelope with keys and bracelets, and you are free. The director of the hotel himself meets and often walks himself to see how the guests are resting. They take great care of cleanliness everywhere. The rooms match the ones on their website. Complimentary tea coffee sugar added every day in the room. The food is monotonous, but as I understand it, in Jordan it is everywhere. Chicken, fish, chopped vegetables, pasta, rice, potatoes in various forms, sweets, few fruits - oranges and bananas. Not everyone has enough. There is lamb for dinner. There is almost no animation, they look, if a lot of people spend it, if not, then just the music plays. Everyone was polite, tried to speak Russian with us, flirted, which made us laugh a lot. I didn’t like it: one channel in Russian Russia 24, no spa, if you don’t go on excursions, then there’s nowhere to go in the evening. (The hotel is along the highway, but not close). There is nothing to have fun, the pool is open until 19 hours. There is a bus to the beach, but the beach is not a hotel. He is not against, but slightly to the right. Yes, he takes a bus 2 times a day at 9.3 to 12.3 and 14.3 to 16.3. Only at this time chaise longues are available, there are practically no umbrellas. The beach is common, Thurs, Fri, Sat at local weekends and they come for the weekend with tents and live there. Visitors these days are not advised to go to the beach, in order to avoid conflicts with the locals. The bus to the city carries 16 seats twice a day, and it is difficult to sign up, there are many who want to. But we went 2 times, but honestly, there is nothing interesting in the city either, there is no entertainment. In the city it is forbidden to walk with bare shoulders, knees and neckline. There are no clubs. We were on all the excursions, we liked everything: 3 in 1, Petra, Wadi Rum, rode quadrics, it’s very cool to swim on the Neptune submarine, it has a glass bottom, you can see all the corals, drowned ships, planes and even a tank, boat trip with diving. In general, the hotel is very good. wi-fi catches everywhere and in the rooms, but intermittently, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Video links at the end of the review. Arrived on June 29th at 7pm. They settled in right away! No queues. At the entrance I was greeted by a waiter with a tray of soft drinks, it was very nice! I was promised a room with a mountain view but they gave me a room with a sea view. Another plus. The rooms are clean with a standard set (refrigerator, safe, hair dryer.

Video links at the end of the review.
Arrived on June 29th at 7pm. They settled in right away! No queues. At the entrance I was greeted by a waiter with a tray of soft drinks, it was very nice! I was promised a room with a mountain view but they gave me a room with a sea view. Another plus. The rooms are clean with a standard set (refrigerator, safe, hair dryer... ) Plumbing is all new, because the hotel itself is still new. The staff tries very hard to please everyone: friendly, smiling, trying to solve all the problems that arise.
Beach. The beach is open from 9 am. until 18h. The beach bus goes directly to the hotel. Walk 15 min. The beach, which overlooks the view from the window - the city. There are many local holidaymakers there. Our beach is to the right and there are fewer people, because the beach is only for hotel visitors, and for all others the entrance costs $15. The beach is considered the most attractive in terms of marine flora and fauna. Tourists from other beaches are taken here for a boat trip. Here are the most beautiful reefs.
For example, there are no reefs on Tala Bay, so there is nothing special to look at. But there is more entertainment: parachutes, hydroscooters, water skis ...The entrance costs 10dinars per person.
On our beach, you can swim only from the pier, because when you enter the water, you can already stumble upon a hedgehog. There is a hydro scooter (one), the cost is 25 dinars for 15 minutes. is about 2000.
Tours. We took an excursion to Petra on 4.06. From Pegasus it costs $195 per person, but when booking on the first day there is a discount and the tour will cost $166 per person. This includes a transfer to Petra and back, an entrance ticket to Petra, guide services, lunch at a 5 * hotel, a buffet. Take plenty of water with you! Minimum 3l. for two adults. Water in Petra is not expensive, you can buy 1.5 liters for $2. For those who have bought at least one excursion from Pegasus, a late check-out is a gift, that is, on the day of departure, you do not check out the room at 12:00, but check it out at 15:00. As well as a free bus to the city of Aqaba.
Talk to the reception in advance when planning a trip to the city and a free bus comes for you. If you do not buy excursions, then you can get to the city from the stop yourself. The bus fare is $5 one way.
Currency. It's better to fly with $. Rubles are also changed here, but at a very low rate. For 1000r. they will give you $ 11, which is about 7-8 dinars.
Internet. The Internet is. Wi-Fi catches not only in the lobby, but also in the rooms and by the pool!
The staff does not speak Russian well. They speak English. In Russian, the bartender communicates more or less))) and the hotel manager. The Russian girl Nastya sits at the reception in the evenings. You can chat.
Nutrition. All Inclusive: The choice of food is not great, but decent. There are always vegetables, pastries, fish, chicken (very tasty, not pumped up like ours) and beef. Once they gave goat meat and tuna. Delicious melons. If it ends, they bring more. Alcohol at the pool bar is included. In the lobby for extra fee.
Drinking water is supplied to the room every day 2 bottles of 250 ml. not enough for the day, but you can pour in the dining room from the cooler.
Staff. Half of the staff was recognized immediately - they are from the hotels in Egypt, where we stayed. The owner of the hotel is also Egyptian. Room cleaning every day. Since there are only 3 cleaners for the hotel (and here they are men), the cleaning lasts all day. Someone is cleaned in the morning, someone in the afternoon.
There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas near the pool.
There is animation. Two animators: Russian girl Irina and a local guy. Every day water polo, aqua aerobics, darts and evening entertainment.
