Hotel ratings by criteria:
What is important in the desert? Don't die of thirst! Radisson knows about this and water, however, like other drinks, do not regret it. There is no need to sign any checks. Reading reviews of other hotels, I came to the conclusion that this is a definite plus of the hotel.

Regarding other pluses: a beautiful area (which is important, because the hotel is solitary for now and you can only walk along it). A large beach, and the entrance to the sea is possible both from the pontoon (if it is not stormy), and from the shore (in special shoes). Not far from the pontoon is a reef, near which all living creatures live. Almost all rooms face the sea. If desired, the number can be changed.

To be honest, I didn’t find any special shortcomings (except for the already mentioned seclusion of the hotel and, as a result, unreasonably high prices in local shops), but, as you understand, this is a subjective opinion. For example, I liked that there were many compatriots in the hotel.

It is always nice to exchange opinions in non-committal secular chatter. (Despite my knowledge of the language, I don’t really like to communicate with foreigners. Among my own, you will often meet intelligent and sympathetic people and interesting interlocutors).

Regarding food: the choice of meat and fish is small. And why bother yourself on vacation and making a choice? Vegetables and fruits (given that they do not grow on the Sinai Peninsula) are enough. I really liked the sweet table: cakes, puddings, jellies, etc. were not cloying!

The hotel staff is polite and unobtrusive (there is something to compare with: last year I had a rest in Sierra, in Sharm, so there polite guards and bellboys were not satisfied with the answer that things were going well; apparently they wanted to improve their English and Russian).

Animators try to make the rest fun. The Activities set is standard: beach volleyball, aqua aerobics, oriental dances, show programs.
I don't know if you need something else?

How to avoid holiday disappointment if you choose Radisson SAS Taba?
1) Travel with your own company (perhaps this is true for all hotels located in Taba).
2) Diversify your vacation with excursions: a boat trip to the island of Salah El Din; Jerusalem, Dead Sea; Jordan, Petra; Monastery of St. Catherine; Cairo. By the way, it is better to buy gifts for relatives, friends and your loved one on excursions (except for a boat trip - they are not sold there). Significantly cheaper. (Although I bought scarves and pareos from Bedouins, who bring their goods on a donkey and are located immediately outside the hotel near the beach, on its left side, if you look at the sea).
3) Take running shoes if you find time to go to the gym.
4) Be the master of your mood and not let external circumstances spoil your vacation.
