Were with family.
Pros:
- Good location.
- Clear sea and sandy beach.
- Excellent room (we had a Family suite), although there was no promised door between the rooms.
- Large area, lots of greenery.
Minuses:
- This is NOT ALL INCLUSIVE.
- Snickering and boorish hotel guide (were from Coral, guide Fadi).
- Very strange "rescuers" at the pools and at sea.
- Not very good food (both the organization and the food itself).
- Inconvenient conditions for check-in and check-out.
- Not enough sunbeds.
- Slides worked for 5-6 days out of 10 (the rest of the time they repaired something).
- Disgracefully organized transfer from the airport to the hotel.
- Strange security concern.
More on cons.
In the hotel, let's say, separate meals : ) You won't be able to drink even what is included in this "ALL INCLUSIVE" either at lunch or at dinner, because alcoholic drinks are not provided at all in the main restaurant.
Here on the beach at +30, drink your whiskey to your health.
The choice of dishes is very limited and it practically does not change.
There is simply no fruit (well, except for finely chopped something in one plate and apples, which were exactly 1 time in 10 days). There are no normal salads either. There are chopped waste from yesterday (everything in a row), a sort of salad: weathered sausage, sad cucumbers, cheese, and so on. Didn't dare to try.
There is no coffee. There is something called "American coffee", but it's definitely not a normal Americano.
In addition, there are always not enough plates, cups, teapots, and so on, and not all dishes are available (there are just empty vats / plates / trays).
Hotel guide. This is a separate song. He was recommended to us as the best of the best.
We arrived, went through all the formalities, we went out into the street (no one met us). There are no buses, everyone who arrived is crowded.
After some time, a certain person appeared and said that the buses would be coming soon. Loaded with crush and noise, as there was no organization.
Then Fadi appeared on the bus, silently walked along the bus, looked that the seats were occupied, and left. Actually, apparently, he did his job in this way (perhaps participation in the transfer is not his function, I don’t know).
Upon arrival at the hotel, all the problems, and they were, had to be solved with other people, since we did not find Fadi.
The welcome meeting was scheduled for 9 am. Actually all at 9 and gathered. Everyone except Fadi, he was 15 minutes late.
The conference hall was occupied during this time, Fadi said wait, come to the conference hall in 20 minutes. Okay, let's take a walk around the hotel.
After 20 minutes they returned and it turned out that Fadi had already told everything to those who remained in the hall and sells excursions.
We waited until everyone who wanted to buy, came up (we are not alone, of course). I started to tell, but then a girl appeared who decided to buy a tour.
Fadi, of course, tried to forget about us, but did not succeed (it almost came to a scandal).
As a result, in order to simply get information, it was necessary to bring the matter almost to a scandal.
Then we tried to find out when our guide is at the hotel. We received an answer: tomorrow from 9 to 11, the day after tomorrow from 19 to 20, then I DO NOT KNOW. Well, in principle, it’s not scary, because there was a WhatsApp number. Only, as it turned out later, Fadi responds only to the magic words "we want to buy" and nothing else.
As a result, most of the excursions also had to be ordered "on the side. " They did not understand why such a hotel guide is needed at all.
"Rescuers". There are lifeguards at the pools and on the beach. At the pools, their task is to interfere with rest. Periodically, children are kicked out of the pool, periodically - just everyone (all this during official opening hours). Why - can not explain. They asked to call someone from the management - once a certain person came with the keys, said "swim under your responsibility. " I couldn't explain what the problem is.
Or he won’t dig if he just quickly passes through the frame and picks up the bag. That is, not security, but props, but they climb into personal things, which is unpleasant.

From September 20 to 30.2018, my wife and I rested at the Grand Swiss-Belresort Tala Bay (Jordan, Aqaba). The five-star hotel with the All Inclusive food system has a beautiful architecture, beautiful plant and flower decoration, a nice private beach with fine white sand at a distance of 150 m from the hotel. The sea is striking in its transparency and purity, it is always almost calm and conducive to a long voyage. The food is varied and interesting. All of the above is fully consistent with five stars. It would seem to relax and enjoy. However, it wasn't there. The engineering services of the hotel do not allow this to be done.
We arrived at the hotel and immediately asked for a room with two separate beds. After long negotiations, we were promised to provide such a room in three days, but so far they have brought an extra bed into the room, not of the best quality. Three days later we were moved to a room with two separate beds and an additional third. Again, it took long requests to remove the third bed from the room, as it interfered. Three days later the bed was removed.
In both rooms in which we lived, the TV did not really work; It will work for 5 minutes, then the program is interrupted, you need to turn on the device again. In the second room there was only one lamp, our urgent requests to put the second one did not lead to anything, the lamp was never put up. Not accustomed to this hotel to satisfy the requests of the guests.
As our Russian colleagues on vacation (Russians, as always, the majority among vacationers) said, someone did not close the window in the room, someone had a toilet leak, the hair dryer did not work. In our last room, the beds creaked and wobbled, the handle on the door to the bathroom came off.
A very unpleasant circumstance was the need to jump up early in the morning and run to the beach to take sunbeds. This inconvenience is due to the small number of straw umbrellas under which sunbeds are placed. The entrance to the sea is very unpleasant, because. a meter from the shore there are many sharp stones.
But the most terrible event for us happened on September 25, when the elevator stopped working, with the help of which we climbed to our third floor. In a panic, we rushed to the reception, where the employees started calling somewhere, promised to fix the elevator in two days, but it did not start working on the day of our departure 09/30/18. Of course, it doesn’t cost anything for some young and healthy person to run up to the third floor and not even get out of breath, but when you are well over 60 and have problems with your knees and ankles, stopping the elevator immediately turns your vacation into a torment.
It is obvious that the hotel urgently needs to re-equip its fixed assets (considerable costs are ahead for the owners). Maintenance workers, currently characterized by laziness and inattention to the requests of vacationers, need to change the way they work. Otherwise, they should be fired.
Currently, the hotel is clearly designed for young and unpretentious people. Older people should think hard before going here to rest.

First of all, I clarify that this is Jordan with its own customs and orders. There's nothing to prove to anyone here. . . Settlement. If you arrive at breakfast and there are free rooms, they will check you in until 12 noon (and not 15-00 as they usually do), and absolutely free, but you will receive a bracelet only at 15-30, which means: you will be fed breakfast and lunch at AL system will not be, wait for dinner.

Accordingly, only water can be poured in the bar for free. Tea, coffee, juices, beer are all free.
Number. Well, everything is easier here. Well, not a palace, of course, but you can spend the night. The bed is comfortable, linen is clean, TV, hairdryer, kettle work. Not very clean floors and the presence of dust can be tolerated. Here are 2 towels. not enough.
Restaurant. Of course, we were not hungry, but everything was somehow monotonous and very often not tasty. But that's in my opinion.
Beach. Sand mixed with rocks and debris. You can’t go into the sea, or rather into the Gulf of Aqaba, without shoes (sea urchins near the shore in stones). If you have come here to the Red Sea, then you have come to the wrong place.
Territory. Here the gardener finally tried. Everything is blooming and everything is thriving. The beauty of the eyes pleases.
Animation. It's not just bad, it just doesn't exist!
And the last thing: 3 bars work on the territory during the day, but 2 of them are only for a fee. There are few sunbeds by the pool. There are no umbrellas on the beach.
My opinion is that the wrong country was called Honduras. This is not 5 stars, but 2 plus.
Tip: if you decide to come here, then be patient and do not pay attention to all the negativity.

Beach. Sufficiently wide, there were enough sunbeds and umbrellas for everyone. Gentle approach from the shore with islands of corals, slippers are needed. There is a living coral reef a couple of minutes away from the hotel's beach. The beauty of the reef is like in Taba.
Rooms. Correspond to the photo on the Internet, everything worked, plasma, safe, cosmetics, bathrobes / slippers, tea sets (replenished daily). Cleaning at a high level.
Nutrition. As in Europe in 4-star hotels, dishes adapted for Europeans are delicious: artichokes, crabs, shrimp, fish, meat, grilled vegetables - in abundance, without queues. There are diet and baby food. On the breakfast/dinner meals drinks (tea, coffee, water, juices) were included for breakfasts or water for dinner. In the room daily replenishment of water 0.5 liters per person. Compared to the United Arab Emirates, 3 stars are more modest.
Internet: wireless throughout (including rooms and the beach) free of charge.
Service. No complaints, helpful, trying to help.
Animation. There are unobtrusive games and entertainment in Russian throughout the day. Evening disco.
Contingent. Russian speakers, Europeans and Arabs from Friday to Saturday. They settle in different parts of the territory by nationality. They don't make each other uncomfortable.
Bonuses. Free transfer to Aqaba 6 times a day. Birthday cake and wine in the room.

Trip Kyiv-Amman-Tala Bay-Kyiv
29.12. 12-05.01. thirteen
Travel agency "NEWS Travel"
Host in Jordan "Al-Thuraya"
Tourists 3 adults (2+1 child 17 years old)
1. The hotel room was not booked. The hotel did not know about our arrival. The accompanying driver from Al-Thuraya disappeared 5 minutes after he found out we had a problem with our booking.
2. A room for three, on the first floor, with a sea view (ALL of these parameters were discussed with NEWS Trawel), paid for in Kyiv, was replaced with a room on the second floor overlooking the roof of the first floor of a neighboring building and the edge of the garden.
3. After calls to Kyiv, long explanations at the reception, the number was found, but they said that the "settlement is temporary" until they receive information about us from the host.
4. The room was equipped for two (we are three adults). After 5 hours of waiting (at about 12 am local time) and three calls to the reception, a bathrobe and a towel were brought, after (another half hour) a bed, and even later bed linen.
It takes five hours for the staff of a 5* hotel to refurbish the room and take action (bring what you need to sleep) after each next call-request.
5. The condition of the room is a separate sadness: it takes at least 10 minutes to drain cold water to hot. Toilet flush button broken. Water does not pass in the shower (drain). The shower is dirty, cracks in the tiles and on the ceiling (see photo). The plaster is crumbling. The dimensions of the bathroom (shower + toilet + washbasin) are such that the half-open door rests on the front of the toilet. And the open shower door covers the entire space. Dirty washbasin. For all 5 days of rest, he was not washed even once (see photo).
6. In the morning we asked the reception to change the room. Listed all the problems that were found. We were refused, they said that there were no available rooms in the hotel. It was a lie, because the buildings were dark (in the evening or at night) and the dining room was only 25% full.
7.
The bed linen is gray, the towels are washed out, they look like they were in use for a long time (see photo).
8. Cleaning of rooms for three and below: dust remains on the furniture and floor (see photo). With us, the dust has never been wiped, it can be clearly seen in the photo. The bathroom is not disinfected. After leaving a “tip” and a note asking us to clean the room well, they laid out towel swans for us, but the cleaning was not carried out more thoroughly. The time spent by the cleaner in the room was recorded - 8 minutes (30 m2). He folds the bed and partially changes the towels (there were cases when they folded back the towels we threw on the floor - the global sign of "dirty"). Vacuum cleaner and wet cleaning in the rooms is not carried out.
9. The bed is changed only at the request and monetary reward (checked).
10. Towels are taken away, but they never left complete sets for three.
11. They asked me to pick up the bathrobe for washing. Clean (in exchange) was not provided.
Three days out of five there were 2 bathrobes in the room for three guests.
12. The furniture is old. The bottom of all furniture is dirty, rotten, moldy (see photo).
New Year
13. On the day of New Year's Eve, the traditional dinner was cancelled.
14. There was no specific placement (fixed seats in the hall) for pre-paid tables at NG. They suggested that the three of us sit down on two chairs at a large table where people were already sitting. They promised to bring a side chair, and after all (other) guests were seated, they would be moved to another table, if there was one. After the refusal, they offered a table behind the stage under the music. columns, opposite the toilet and the waiter's counter (where they clean the plates).

Travel agency "NEWS Travel"
Host in Jordan "Al-Thuraya"
Tourists 3 adults (2+1 child 17 years old)
1. The hotel room was not booked. The hotel did not know about our arrival. The accompanying driver from Al-Thuraya disappeared 5 minutes after he found out we had a problem with our booking.
2. A room for three, on the first floor, with a sea view (ALL of these parameters were discussed with NEWS Trawel), paid for in Kyiv, was replaced with a room on the second floor overlooking the roof of the first floor of a neighboring building and the edge of the garden.
3. After calls to Kyiv, long explanations at the reception, the number was found, but they said that the "settlement is temporary" until they receive information about us from the host.
4. The room was equipped for two (we are three adults). After 5 hours of waiting (at about 12 am local time) and three calls to the reception, a bathrobe and a towel were brought, after (another half hour) a bed, and even later bed linen.
It takes five hours for the staff of a 5* hotel to refurbish the room and take action (bring what you need to sleep) after each next call-request.
5. The condition of the room is a separate sadness: it takes at least 10 minutes to drain cold water to hot. Toilet flush button broken. Water does not pass in the shower (drain). The shower is dirty, cracks in the tiles and on the ceiling (see photo). The plaster is crumbling. The dimensions of the bathroom (shower + toilet + washbasin) are such that the half-open door rests on the front of the toilet. And the open shower door covers the entire space. Dirty washbasin. For all 5 days of rest, he was not washed even once (see photo).
6. In the morning we asked the reception to change the room. Listed all the problems that were found. We were refused, they said that there were no available rooms in the hotel. It was a lie, because the buildings were dark (in the evening or at night) and the dining room was only 25% full.
7.
The bed linen is gray, the towels are washed out, they look like they were in use for a long time (see photo).
8. Cleaning of rooms for three and below: dust remains on the furniture and floor (see photo). With us, the dust has never been wiped, it can be clearly seen in the photo. The bathroom is not disinfected. After leaving a “tip” and a note asking us to clean the room well, they laid out towel swans for us, but the cleaning was not carried out more thoroughly. The time spent by the cleaner in the room was recorded - 8 minutes (30 m2). He folds the bed and partially changes the towels (there were cases when they folded back the towels we threw on the floor - the global sign of "dirty"). Vacuum cleaner and wet cleaning in the rooms is not carried out.
9. The bed is changed only at the request and monetary reward (checked).
10. Towels are taken away, but they never left complete sets for three.
11. They asked me to pick up the bathrobe for washing. Clean (in exchange) was not provided.
Three days out of five there were 2 bathrobes in the room for three guests.
12. The furniture is old. The bottom of all furniture is dirty, rotten, moldy (see photo).
New Year
13. On the day of New Year's Eve, the traditional dinner was cancelled.
14. There was no specific placement (fixed seats in the hall) for pre-paid tables at NG. They suggested that the three of us sit down on two chairs at a large table where people were already sitting. They promised to bring a side chair, and after all (other) guests were seated, they would be moved to another table, if there was one. After the refusal, they offered a table behind the stage under the music. columns, opposite the toilet and the waiter's counter (where they clean the plates).
15. Having paid 157 dollars. per person, we learned that this price does not include drinks.
16. Service by waiters was not included in the paid price. An additional bill was issued for the service.
17. Waiter Ahmad Alkhazayumeh can't speak English. Ignored calls to him.

The hotel is just great. The food is great, the rooms are great. We are not supporters of pools, but pools do not stink and all pools have different temperatures (in one even 33 degrees). The beach is constantly being cleaned. But the sea is not like in Egypt. There are three ports in the Gulf of Aqaba. But the hotel itself is cool - the European level without exaggeration.

Why did he call it that "irony of fate or with light steam" ? ? everything is very simple!! ! my friend and I, having quarreled with our families, decided to drink a little vodka, it didn’t work out a little))) in Boryspil we already began to understand what we were doing... the main requirement in the travel agency was - “we go anywhere, lizhba as soon as possible”, to which we received an answer- where, how much and departure in 6 hours! In general, we flew in.

In general, we flew in. We were not sober for a single day! the same and went home! but through cloudy eyes filled with vodka, I saw excellent service (not counting the cleaner in the room, he turned out to be a faggot and from the first minute he began to pester with obscene offers for only one dollar !! ! in short, we gave him a jaw, along with one dollar! and in the evening through the senior manager of the hotel, we fired him! ) in short, the service is excellent!!!!
Food - if subjectively, I am satisfied, everything met my overestimated and spoiled culinary requirements, so my rating is 5+ !!! ! whatever you want, in any quantity, although there was no pork, but their grilled beef is just perfect !!!! ! Of course, coffee is shit, but if you dilute it with milk and imagine that this is how it should be, then you can also put up with it !!!
smoke! I ran out of my cigarettes on the second day, their $5 Marlboro-shit-something too light and impossible to smoke! thank God or their Allah, we found a friend in the face of one of the hotel workers, in my opinion, Muhamed the animator, he brought us 6 packs for $ 10 and then took one for himself)))))
entertainment(((((not enough, disco, where there were only waiters, 2 bartenders, the head of the hotel, and me with a friend!!
but nothing, we found a way out of the situation, we taught blacks to dance a slow dance to the music of Kipelov, the track "I'm free" is not a spectacle for the faint of heart, but they liked it! that's how they had fun !! ! billiards - only an American, there were two tables - I accidentally broke one, and when I tried to repair it, I broke it at all! in short, if the table was not made, then only one remained! 4 bars - that's the most important entertainment... well, who went for what)))) and, of course, the pool, in which two French women sitting on sun loungers went to the toilet! I just have never seen them go somewhere other than the pool for the whole day, the conclusion suggests itself! in short, I met them and explained in broken English what I want from them, but sadly, I explained it, but they didn’t understand, English was not their forte !! ! through body language, I showed what I want from the one that is taller, and with bigger breasts....I kind of agreed!
honestly for the first time in my life I had sex with a girl who wanted to say so much, but it turned out that apart from my name she did not understand anything! and what is the saddest thing, in the morning she left, and until the end of the rest she pretended that nothing happened, and did not even smile at me))) maybe because in the morning I met a Polish woman, and I was already courting not her, but a competitor !!!!
Well, in short, the food is excellent.
alcohol ---- 4 points, for not having the best - 5 points
service 5 points
service 4+ points
cleanliness 4+
entertainment 2+
bar - closes at 23:00 (((and opens from 11:00
contingent 10% children under 18
60% of those who are over 40,
well, and, accordingly, the sex and age of 20% of interest to me, well, I found myself what I wanted - everything turned out approximately like with that French woman about whom I wrote above
and 10% - these are those who came there to die - that is, grandparents over 90))) follow the wind, if the wind had not stopped, they would have driven themselves - in short, the living mummy, but even without them it would not be so fun - they are wonderful, whatever one may say, but if not for them. . . eh. . .
SUMMARY!
you can go with a company, even with your beloved, you can, but if you are looking for thrills and adventures on the fifth point, you are not in TABOO !!! !
