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.
