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.
