We rested in the Radisson in November 2010. During the day, the air temperature is more than 30C, on cloudy days +27, water +25. I liked the rest very much. The photos on the site are true. The hotel has a lot of vegetation, flowers and is located near the mountains, a picturesque place. Although Taboo itself can not be called beautiful. We were given a room right next to the reception, the pool and the sea - beauty! The room is spacious although the furniture is not new. Cleaning was top notch, linen was changed every day, except maybe the last few days. The bathroom is clean, always reported shower gel, soap, shampoo. There are 2 Russian channels on TV - Planet RTR and Rossiya24. The room has "tea" accessories: electric kettle, decanter, bags of tea, coffee, cream, sugar. At the beginning of the holiday, 2 bottles of water are placed in the room, then you can fill it in the cooler on the floor or take it at lunch or dinner.
Food for a 5* hotel is not very good. In Turkey, 4 * used to be better. Salads were sometimes made from not very fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, I saw zucchini peelings in them a couple of times, apparently, the cooks believed that there were more vitamins in the skins : ) Pasta and spaghetti were never tasty: for some reason they were always undercooked. Had moussaka a couple of times, very tasty. Dishes from boiled vegetables are too bland. Green salad is always fresh. The meat is sometimes oversalted, but the fish and chicken are not bad. Delicious yogurt, very good for digestion. Lots of jams, honey, pekmez. From fruits - persimmons, apples, bananas, oranges. Oranges (some strange, or a mixture with lemon) I can’t say that they are tasty, green, unripe. Chopped into small pieces that need to be collected in bowls, it tastes better. Pastries and buns are always fresh, with a bang. At lunch or dinner they took wine, it tasted good, but not drunk : ))) I won’t say about stronger drinks, they didn’t take it. Beer was popular with tourists. There seems to be a lot of waiters, but when I wanted to sit down to eat on the street, the table was not cleared, then there were no appliances - I often had to take it out of the restaurant myself.
The hotel's beach is large and wide, but there are relatively few sunbeds, you need to do it as early as possible. But we were lying by the pool, it was easier to take a seat there. Fortunately, the sea is near. The pool is large, divided into several sections, the water was a little cool, without heating, but it was felt only at the time of entry. The animation by the pool is simple, a few Italian eccentric guys with their favorite song Opa-Opa. True, they gathered people for stretching, yoga, volleyball (on the beach) and water aerobics.

In the evenings we put on shows in the hotel lobby. On our last day, when the Eid al-Adha holiday had already begun and many Arabs had come, there was a show in the hotel amphitheater. Beautiful. In the evenings, an Italian singer sang on the 2nd floor in the hotel bar, sometimes you can listen, but he doesn’t know the lyrics well : ). Then he gets bored. Some people dance there.
Sea. Corals are not so hot, for this, not in the Radisson. But you can see, there are beautiful fish too. From the left concrete slabs, you need to swim to the left 40-50 meters diagonally (opposite the Bedouin camp), there are 2 good coral islands. Approximately in the center, swim further away, about 100 meters, already at a depth there are several coral islands, more divers were brought there. You can also see there. We were lucky with the sea, it was stormy only on the 1st day of arrival, and there were almost no waves, sometimes even smooth surface. There is a bar on the beach, the drinks are not bad, order Florida - a mixture of juices, it is made in a large glass.
I can’t compare with the Hilton, Movenpick and Marriott hotels, but other hotels went around, ours is definitely the best, and in terms of location (by the sea), and which is located in a beautiful place, near the mountains, and green. Recommend to everyone! !
