We have no illusions about the rest in Egypt, but this time we were somewhat disappointed in the Taba Paradise hotel. The agency painted the hotel as a deluxe for a relaxing holiday, in fact, everything turned out to be completely different. Although this is a miscalculation of the agency, not the hotel. The positive moment - they flew directly to Taba with the Neva travel company. The airport is small, half an hour drive to the hotel. The road is not tiring, the landscapes are very beautiful: high mountains and desert, as if, indeed, you are driving on the moon. Such beauty has not been seen in Sharm. We were brought to the hotel for dinner, immediately settled. And then the disappointments began. The furniture in the room is old, the smell of musty sewage. The drawer in the nightstand falls out if you pull it towards you. We returned to the reception. They confessed to us that recently there was a pipe break in the next room. It was very unpleasant when in an empty hotel they settled in a deliberately bad-smelling room. The next room was better, but the furniture is the same. Plumbing is so-so, traces of mold on the ceiling. The view from the balcony was on a bald lawn. Cleaning is tolerable, towels are changed every day, no matter where you put it. Went to lunch. The food pleased. Soups, meat dishes, fish (there was every day), side dishes, pastries, an abundance of fruit - just wonderful. Barbecue every day, grilled meat is soft and juicy, jacket (meatballs) too. The hotel was a quarter full and there was more food than guests could eat. A very big positive about the hotel. We then walked around the area. She is beautiful, well-groomed, but I personally did not have a feeling of comfort. Yes, there are flowers, shrubs, palm trees, but somehow everything is very bald. The beach is spacious, large pebbles, the water is cool about 20-22 degrees. Rocky bottom entry, slippers required. The coral reef is decent, we saw a lot of fish and even once a turtle. Unfortunately, being in the water for a long time was uncomfortable due to the low temperature. A particularly important point on vacation in Taba is the choice of excursions to Israel and Jordan. My son and I chose saiftour. com in advance. We ordered a tour on the Internet, sent our passport data. Upon arrival, they sent an SMS and the girl Natalya called us in the room, answered all the questions without imposing her services, and the tour could be paid directly on the bus. I liked the tour very much. I can recommend the Taba Paradise hotel, but only for unpretentious clients as a place to relax after excursions to neighboring states.
