Hi all! I was with my family (2 adults + 2 children) in this hotel - impressions are twofold. Tour operator - Pegasus, guide - Elena. It’s hard to call her a guide, a ticket seller, nothing more.
The hotel itself is really fresh, clean, the area is large, but not yet fully landscaped. The room has a safe, 2 bottles of water 0.5 every day, cleaning. But the same thing - they will forget to report the towel, then they will put the already started shampoo / gel... There are a couple of shops in the hotel itself, but the prices are from the helicopter. There is a small market in Hilton, the starting prices are much lower. I also advise you to use the exchange at the Hilton, because in Movenpick the cunning Arab banker is missing 2-3 pounds (commission! ).
The food in the main restaurant is monotonous, there is also fish, oriental and Chinese. We liked the most in Chinese. All inclusive from 11 am to 11 pm. Bars on the beach and near the pool - so-so, waiters in dirty, filthy uniforms... The main mass of employees is friendly, but the family has its black sheep, as they say. Slavs are not liked in this hotel, which was very colorfully seen at the New Year's Eve. As the animators told us: the hotel is profiled for the British. They are poor, they work all year round and come here to rest. And then the Russians pinned down, what kind of rest is already here.

But the sea did not let us down. Although it was windy, we swam almost every day. For those who love heat, there is a heated indoor pool, but the water is so chlorinated that it’s hard to wash off afterwards.
We went on a day trip to Jerusalem. There are a lot of impressions, but all run-run. By the way, do not rush to buy goods in those stores where the guide will take you. Near the store everything can be cheaper.
When leaving Egypt, if a tourist has visited Israel, he must pay 46 pounds tax. We learned about this from our "Elena the Beautiful" the night before the flight. It's all right if she warned about it in advance, as other operators do. In a word - I do not advise you to ride with Pegasus!
So the rest can be assessed 50/50.
