The hotel is new, opened in November 2010, in general, corresponds to the declared category 4 *. But there are some shortcomings: the doors in the rooms, toilets, etc. close either badly or do not close at all. Since the castle is located in one place and the nest for the castle in another))).
An interesting food formula - for lunch and dinner they do not give tea and coffee in the main restaurant. Complaints from guests are constant - so I think this will be fixed soon. The food is generally normal - I would like more fruit and not cut, but whole. By the way, the All Inclusive formula is only valid until 22:00. Therefore, after this time, the life of the hotel somehow freezes and gently fades away))).
The taba reef is generally amazing: firstly, coral ends close and quite a lot of living creatures. Personally, we managed to see: octopuses, sea turtles, moray eels and all sorts of different fish. We went on a boat trip with the tour operator Pegasus - the island of the Pharaohs and 2 more parking lots. The underwater world is poorer or the same. So if you're willing to pay $55 for a boat trip, go for it.

As for excursions: that is, there are 2 options. Either you buy everything at a high price from a tour operator, or you contact a local company by phone. An example of the price difference, then the price of the Pegasus tour operator / the price of another agency Israel 1 day $ 175 / $ 95, boat trip $ 55 / $ 45, Jordan $ 265 / $ 220, etc. We used the services of Sinai Travel - we are satisfied with everything. The tour operator cannot offer anything exclusive for a high price. You will not be able to come to this agency, because I repeat Taba is not Charm, there is simply no city as such. You can only call them, from our hotel it cost 3 pounds a minute.
A hotel for couples or people who can find something to do everywhere, if not for excursions, we would really be bored. Although there is animation: 2 Russians and a bunch of Arentinians. Our guys do aqua aerobics, exercises, volleyball, water polo, bocha . . and others. Argentines mostly dance at the show in the evening, although there have already been advances and they also started to turn people on.
95% of vacationers at the time of the visit are Russian-speaking people. Therefore, you will definitely feel at home)))
There were enough sun beds and umbrellas for everyone, the only thing you need to buy is sure to be slippers - a lot of hedgehogs. and just as many without tower people))) Our friend pierced his finger with a hedgehog. I’ll tell you a terrible sight... At the hotel there is a doctor, a hedgehog injection is considered an insured event, I don’t know about a shark bite))) By the way, there were no sharks, moreover, there is simply nowhere to get information about sharks. The hotel has no Internet, of the Russian-speaking channels, only TVN - religious preaching dregs. There was not a word on the English-speaking channels, and we have not yet learned to understand Arabic. The staff is friendly and, as always in Arab countries, they try to cheat you on occasion))) There are a couple of shops at the hotel, but due to the lack of competition, the prices are exorbitant))) Good luck to everyone ! !
