Прекрасный отдых! Great vacation!

My parents and teenage daughter went to the hotel from April 18 to April 30.2013. We took a ticket through Pegasus due to a direct flight from our city. Visited Egypt for the first time. We arrived in Shesh around 7 am local time, drove to the hotel for 2 hours and 20 minutes with one stop. When we drove up to the hotel - we were horrified, at the entrance to the territory - we were delighted with the beauty. They settled immediately, without additional payments, they paid for the superior (on the first floor), they settled in it, in the 3rd building. A plate of fruit was waiting in the room, they also brought it upon check-out. They gave out two white terry bathrobes and two pairs of slippers size 44, they did not change them, because they took their own, and only the father used the bathrobe. Changed linen and towels in a timely manner, replenished hygiene products (shampoo, shower gels and moisturizing skin lotion), 3 small bottles of water, tea and coffee (these rooms have a kettle and cups). I liked the room and was very comfortable, although there was interest from other vacationers. One day a heron came into the room. ))) Of the insects, a cockroach was once seen on the street, unexpectedly flying, and one more time a cute gecko ran into the room to visit. I also liked the food very much, everything was tasty, well cooked and the portions were sufficient, because they did not hesitate to take an additive. Great tasty thick juices (not yupi), especially the multifruit one, and also really enjoyed the grilled liver and meat. Daughter liked the ice cream, as well as burgers and fries. Only with pizza there was a misunderstanding due to the fact that they did not specify which one they wanted (there is a board on which the types of pizza are written - with tuna, for example). There are not many fruits (oranges, dates, guava and chopped pineapple, melons). Bought strawberries for $ 3 tray - very tasty. Before they were only in Turkey several times, I liked Hilton Nuweiba more. The staff, apart from the bartender named Wessam (he's arrogant and rude! ) are all top notch! Friendly, attentive, sympathetic, loving children, not extorting tips (sometimes they gave themselves out of gratitude)! The hotel area is large, everything is green and blooming. The pools are small, but we went to swim in the sea. The water seemed cool to the older generation, but they swam a lot. For several days there was nibbling plankton, not everyone nibbled. The beach is huge, sandy, with a small rocky strip, they give good towels, sunbeds are comfortable and you don’t have to take up space, there was always enough. There are no corals (they are, as they wrote, away from the beach), but there are a lot of fish, grandfather and granddaughter swam in masks, counted about 15 species of fish, saw a turtle. For several days there was nibbling plankton. At night, they turn on the illumination of the pier, we saw hunting lionfish and other fish. The animation was presented in the form of water aerobics in the morning and the evening performance "Egyptian Night", especially liked the dance with skirts. The hotel was chosen for a quiet and relaxing holiday, so everything matched. We went for a spa massage (with oils and hot stones), 5 sessions of 25-30 minutes each - for all $ 100 (neck + back + arms, if more + legs then 150), I liked it very much. Hotel guide from "Pegasus" Marina intimidated her parents (by the fact that insurance is valid only when you go with Pegasus, etc. ), and they bought from her (greatly overpaid) excursions to the bathyscaphe (60 dollars per person) and to the monastery of St. Catherine (50 dollars per person). Everything was not bad, I really liked the guide from the excursion to the monastery, but it’s not worth buying videos from excursions ($ 20 each): the fish on the video from the bathyscaphe turned out to be not colored, the video itself is long, boring and the sound is Arabic music; video from the monastery in the same vein, only the music of Morricone. ))) After the excursion to the monastery, they brought them to Dahab for shopping (included in the price) - they didn’t like it, it was expensive and there was little choice (they brought it to one store). In hotel shops they took cotton tunics for 10 dollars, the same larger size was bought from the Bedouins for 8. Souvenirs - magnets for 1 dollar. Most of the Russians in the hotel (not "Tagil", but loudly swearing were seen on the beach), there were British, Germans and Poles (they made noise, littered a lot, rushed like seagulls to food). The rest flew by unnoticed, the daughter flew away in tears. Sunbathed, had a great rest, they will go to the hotel again. Recommend to families with children and lovers of a relaxing holiday.
