I recently returned from Taba, spent my vacation at the Sol Y Mar hotel. The territory is well-groomed, very beautiful, near the beach and the sea. Around a lot of flowers and greenery, there is a large swimming pool. On the beach there were enough sunbeds for everyone and always. Good entry into the sea. The sea is very beautiful, a lot of marine life. … More ▾ I recently returned from Taba, spent my vacation at the Sol Y Mar hotel. The territory is well-groomed, very beautiful, near the beach and the sea. Around a lot of flowers and greenery, there is a large swimming pool. On the beach there were enough sunbeds for everyone and always. Good entry into the sea. The sea is very beautiful, a lot of marine life. I even saw a turtle. Lots of corals. The rooms are large and well equipped, beautiful. They got off great. The room has a safe, slippers, bathrobe, kettle, tea, coffee. All equipment and furniture is more or less new and in good working order. Settled in the farthest building overlooking the sea. The food is good, always fresh fish and chicken, beef and lamb, fresh salads, various vegetables. Good local wine (all inclusive). Delicious sweets and pastries. Fruits include oranges, apples, guavas, dates, and sometimes melons. Lots of eggplant dishes. There are no lines to the restaurant. The waiters serve quickly, but it's better to first sit down to order a drink and then go to choose food. Tea and coffee in the restaurant for breakfast only. The animation is unobtrusive, they played volleyball, there was aqua aerobics and other sports games. Various shows in the evening. I went on a tour with VotpuskEgypt. I visited Israel and Jordan for 2 days. So far, I'm impressed with the tour. I really liked the cities of Petra, Bethlehem and Jerusalem. I visited cultural monuments and touched holy places. I visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. On the way back we swam in the Dead Sea. I was very satisfied with the rest and excursion. I really liked the hotel and stay in Taba.

Recommend for a relaxing holiday. The rooms are not so hot, the service is good, the staff is friendly. The food is top notch, very tasty and varied. The hotel guide is responsible, but I recommend using the services of third-party travel agents for excursions, it will cost less. With pleasure I will return to Solymar more than once. … More ▾ Recommend for a relaxing holiday. The rooms are not so hot, the service is good, the staff is friendly.

We can say that we were lucky, since our tour included a flight not to Sharm El Sheikh, but to Taba. Most of our compatriots arrive in Scar, and then they are shaking with fear in the Egyptian bus, which takes them 3-4 hours to Taba. The airport in Taba is very small, if someone needs duty free, you should not rely on Taba. … More ▾ We can say that we were lucky, since our tour included a flight not to Sharm El Sheikh, but to Taba. Most of our compatriots arrive in Scar, and then they are shaking with fear in the Egyptian bus, which takes them 3-4 hours to Taba. The airport in Taba is very small, if someone needs duty free, you should not rely on Taba. Here we saw a small selection of alcohol and nothing else. We were brought to the hotel around 12, settled within half an hour. I liked the hotel itself, very cozy, relaxing music at the reception, everything is slow, polite and with a smile. The staff at the reception almost does not speak Russian, but understands almost everything. The Russians are settled in a heap on the third floor of the third building. But it's not because it's a bad part of the hotel. They seem to be easier to work with. The room had a standard set: a double bed with a hard mattress (as we like), a spacious closet, bedside tables, a table with a mirror. The bathroom has well-functioning plumbing. Towels were changed every day even though we didn't ask. Bed linen and towels are white, clean, without stains. The hotel area is spacious, 2 pools (adult and children) were heated for the New Year, where we spent most of the time, since the sea was cold. We were told that it even snowed in Cairo the day before. A strong wind blew for several days in a row and I did not want to leave the warm pools at all. The beach of the hotel is across the road, half a kilometer to the right. You can take a minibus, you can walk. There were not very many people in the hotel even on New Year's Eve, the beach looked well-groomed, but a bit deserted. There is almost no animation in the hotel. The New Year's show was poor on entertainment, although the dinner itself was excellent. Perhaps because Europeans are not used to celebrating the New Year as actively as we do. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves. Food at the hotel is traditional for most hotels: for breakfast: omelettes, boiled eggs, yogurt, fried beans, beef sausages, corn flakes, delicious pastries. Fruit was represented by dates, oranges, persimmons, guava, sometimes peeled pomegranates. For lunch, soups, beef (harsh), chicken with gravy or fried, fish, rice, potatoes, pasta, various dishes with vegetables. For dinner, the same as for lunch, kebabs are added, we ate this in large quantities - it was delicious, you just lick your fingers! We do not drink alcohol, so it is difficult to talk about quality. On the third day upon arrival, we went on an excursion to Jerusalem with the travel agency votpuskegypt. com, we didn’t overpay as a tour operator, the service was excellent, I especially liked the guide who led the tour in Nazareth and accompanied us to bathe in the Jordan River. After the bath, it felt like we were reborn. In conclusion, I would like to thank the hotel staff for a good attitude and a wonderful holiday, and recommend the hotel to couples or families with children who do not need a noisy life.

Rested from 06/17/2013 to 06/24/2013. Price-quality matches. 4 * is solid, especially if you remove the negative from the long journey (3.5 hours) through the Sinai desert by minibus from Sharm (for some reason, ours do not arrive at Taba airport), but this is already a question for the tour operator. First impression - SHOCK!! ! But the next day everything was back to normal. … More ▾ Rested from 06/17/2013 to 06/24/2013. Price-quality matches. 4 * is solid, especially if you remove the negative from the long journey (3.5 hours) through the Sinai desert by minibus from Sharm (for some reason, ours do not arrive at Taba airport), but this is already a question for the tour operator. First impression - SHOCK!! ! But the next day everything was back to normal. Almost everything according to the reviews about this hotel. Hotel for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The main contingent of tourists: mostly Poles 65%, there are British, Italians, from Slovakia, we were two from Ukraine and 1 - Russians (there are practically no our compatriots  ). The staff understands some Russian. The hotel area is compact and clean. The room is gloomy, the furniture is old, there is a refrigerator, TV, air conditioning, safe... bed linen, towels - not new, but everything is clean. Cleaning the room every day with laying out different figures. 
There were no mosquitoes and cockroaches in the room, a lizard was seen on the wall near the room. There were sometimes small flies on the beach, but this did not cause discomfort.
The food in the restaurant is good, perhaps for some it will not be varied: chicken, fish, grilled meat, shrimp, crabs, very tasty french fries. Quality alcohol, beer, whiskey, rum, vodka, gin, in my opinion 5 cocktails (according to the list) that the bartender does well, especially SUN CITY. The hotel staff is polite, friendly, unobtrusive. Animation: in the morning - exercises near the pool (since we were near the sea, which animation I can’t write during the day)..... for the entire rest period in the evening we had 1. belly dance and 2. Irish dance, but mostly in the evening time is a disco in a separate room, which does not bother anyone. The beach is 250 meters from the hotel, 6 minutes on foot, on the "shuttle bus" - 30 seconds (speak at the reception and they will take you). There is imported sand on the beach, the entrance to the sea is pebbly. The sea was relatively clean, but the wind brought all kinds of garbage into the bay, and it was not visible from the surface of the water, but it was clearly visible through the mask from below. Sufficiently clear water was closer to the pier separating the beach from the wasteland. The corals are close, alive, the fish are just something (slightly to the right to sail away from the beach). The beach bar is open from 10 am to 5 pm. HASIM (he is open until 10 am in the restaurant, from 10 am to 5 pm - in the beach bar and in the evening at the disco) - WORKER!! ! Special thanks to him, you didn’t have to go to the bar on the beach for drinks, he brought everything himself or asked whoever wanted what he wanted (and all this for free).
Of the proposed tours from the tour operator, we did not take a single one, since the price is 2-3 times higher than if taken from the locals (quality too). From this hotel close to Jordan, and to Israel (15 minutes by bus to the border). For those who want to go to the Dead Sea and Jerusalem on their own, it turns out much cheaper, but you need to speak at least a little English. In Eilat, all the products of the Dead Sea are much cheaper than on the Dead Sea itself, and there is where to take a walk. Independent crossing the border without problems.
We went on an excursion to Israel for 1 day - just super!! ! I advise everyone!! ! Price $85 per person (for comparison, the tour operator has 190 per person, but everything is the same)....some bargained up to 60 dollars. per person, so everything is in your hands... we went through Ibragim, but we agreed back in Kyiv upon arrival in Taba, I sent him an SMS, he called me back and I confirmed the trip. I advise everyone - DO NOT OVERPAY!!! ! The quality, the impression is the same - the money is different. Moreover, to buy a visa for 15 dollars. upon arrival in Egypt, you don’t need it (although if you go to Cairo and Alexandria, then you need it)..... we bought it because we read in the reviews what you need to buy, because when you visit Israel on the way back to Egypt you will have to pay 75 shekels. if there is no visa - this is NOT TRUE !!! ! They don’t have to pay anyone for a visa-free regime - THIS IS JUST ANOTHER DIVORCE of those who are engaged in excursions !! ! ALL HAVE A GOOD REST!! ! If you have any questions, write, I will answer.

I am writing a review a week after my arrival from Sol Y Mar Sea Star. The hotel is not just good, but very good!! ! It well deserves 5 stars! The settlement is very fast, all the rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean, overlooking either the pool or the incredible beauty of the mountains, and what is important at no extra charge!! ! Although the hotel is not big, it feels like home! The hotel has three swimming pools, one heated! The territory is very well-groomed, green, clean. … More ▾ I am writing a review a week after my arrival from Sol Y Mar Sea Star. The hotel is not just good, but very good!! !

Although the hotel is not big, it feels like home! The hotel has three swimming pools, one heated! The territory is very well-groomed, green, clean. I was very pleased with the service: the staff is friendly, sincere, friendly, pleasant, smiling. . . such service is rare even in a very good 5 *! The food is varied, ALWAYS FRESH, for every taste (there is a dietary and children's menu). BBQ every evening. Lots of fruits and sweets! At the bar they pour heartily, most drinks (juices, beer) are poured from cans. Now a little about the environment: The beach, although across the road, is large enough with a good bar, a volleyball court, a pontoon, with a cleared entrance to the sea. If you are an active person, I recommend climbing a mountain near a coral reef, it offers a view of the island of the pharaohs, the coast of Jordan, Israel. During the day and evening, the animators will not let you get bored! Entertainment for every taste: Volleyball, darts, water aerobics, tennis, water polo, evening shows and of course a disco. And most importantly, the hotel is located 10 minutes from the border with Israel!! !

My wife and I stayed at this hotel from 13.02. 2013 to 20.02. 2013. The hotel was chosen based on reviews (ratings), there were several selection criteria: 1. The most quiet hotel. 2. Sandy beach and not far from the hotel. 3. Good cuisine. It seemed that the requirements were the simplest, but it only took a long time to search. The choice fell on "SOL Y MAR SEA STAR" in Taba. The tour operator “Pegas” was somewhat embarrassing, the reviews about it were, for the most part, negative, but all this turned out to be untrue. Paid tours with a landing at the airport "Taba", from him to the hotel 30-40 minutes drive. A few days later, the tour operator rescheduled the landing in Sharm El Sheikh. It started to strain, but we decided to go to the end and did not refuse. The plane turned out to be an A-321 of the Nord Wind company, the plane was in excellent condition, the crew was very friendly and welcoming. 4.30 min. and we are in Sharm.
Arabs are fussing at the Pegasus counters, offering to fill in 5 words in the migration card for 5 bucks, what someone wrote there, the border guard doesn’t even care, the main thing is to buy a visa (stamp) for 15 bucks. After the border, we were met by a friendly and well-mannered Arab - a representative of Pegasus, who took us to the bus. From Sharm to the hotel 275 km. , the driver was calm and we were in 3 hours 30 minutes. got to the hotel. At the reception of the hotel, Arab Mohammed rather politely offered to put things down and eat on the way, we went into the restaurant and were stunned - we had not seen such a variety for a long time. And the quality of cooking ..... !! ! ! ! And so all 7 days. The representative of the tour operator, Nina, met with us, told us everything and gave us a phone number for communication, she didn’t get into the soul and didn’t impose anything - a rather well-mannered girl. Amazing pastries, lots of sweets, very tasty fish and beef. In the evening, be sure to grill, it's either a bird or a barbecue, there were also crabs on the grill ....
for dieters, there are many dietary dishes. Stela Egypt beer is very tasty. The juice is also very tasty - it cannot be compared with ours, and most importantly, you can pour water and juices into bottles and no one will say a word. Very welcoming and friendly staff. They greet each time they meet and always have a smile on their face. They never refuse anything. Jailed the lock in the room - the locksmith appeared within 2 minutes, and then - the cleaner followed. Linen was changed every day, the territory is clean, every evening, around the perimeter, mosquitoes are poisoned. On the territory there are small shops where you can buy slippers and flippers with a mask, and much cheaper than ours. My wife was shocked by a shop with aromatic oils, again, all this is not expensive, so they stocked up “in full”. Almost all staff speak Russian to varying degrees. Silence at night - just ringing. I slept for 10-11 hours, which I could not afford for many, many years. Despite February, the sun bakes.
The sea is warm - swimming with pleasure. On the territory of the hotel there are 5 pools 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 1.5 m, - 2 pcs. and 1.8 m. In the meter - the water is heated, in the rest the water is still cool. There is a disco and free tennis and billiards, WI-FI - for money. The rooms are poor, but clean, if you want luxury - you are not here.
Summary: Rested - like never before. For me, now the choice is obvious - only SOL Y MAR SEA STAR, such a cuisine from Chef Osama - probably hard to find. Now I know what RELAX is - it's SOL Y MAR SEA STAR.

I wanted to escape to the sea, the sun and silence. We decided to spend a quiet time without clubs and discos, and also visit Jerusalem and Petra. This place is just for that. Before leaving, they left applications on the site of a local respected travel agency Sinai travel dot ru. Then we corresponded via sinaitravel mail ru. I liked the service. There were no service problems. Cleaned perfectly, served quickly. Didn't get licked out of the jacuzzi. Very good sauna. Cool corals. The area is like a botanical garden. I can’t call the views from the mountains beautiful after what I saw in Jerusalem. This is a place that really needs to be visited. Necessarily!! ! As well as the pyramids, which are simply breathtaking. I can say that Sinai Travel was not recommended to us in vain: prices are half the price, there is a license, an accessible and convenient website. In general, we are satisfied with the rest. I am in Egypt for the first time. And after reading the previous reviews, I realized, be simpler when you arrive. Feel free to ask for what you need. Don't forget to smile again. The Egyptians are friendly people who will do anything for you.

I visit Egypt every year, usually in winter, to bask in the sun and take a break from the gray sky. This time I went with a friend to Taba, since this city is located on the border with Israel. A trip to Jerusalem was booked in advance, I have long checked the firm Sharmtours dot ru, I use the services of only this company, they have all the necessary licenses, they have never let me down. … More ▾ I visit Egypt every year, usually in winter, to bask in the sun and take a break from the gray sky.

I don’t recommend buying excursions at the hotel, it’s very expensive. The hotel itself is not bad, the service is ordinary, everything corresponds to the price. The sea is super, the weather is always sunny. I advise Tabu to everyone who wants to visit Jerusalem, Petra, the Dead Sea. Very convenient, you can go to several places in a week.
