Traveled with a friend in the period 4-13 November 2011.
The carrier was very upset: Orenburg Airlines, the flight instead of 18-45 departed at one in the morning... And since we flew to Sharm el-Sheikh airport, the road to Taba simply killed with its duration... We drove for almost 5 hours...
They settled us right away, but the room turned out to be right opposite the construction site, where the workers were constantly chiselling, drilling and yelling. . . We were refused resettlement, referring to the full load of the hotel. . . But in general, the noise under the windows did not spoil our rest, since in the room we only spent the night. There were no workers at night.
Standard rooms are very modest, rather dark (we lived on the 1st floor). But everything worked properly, except for the hair dryer, which turned off every three minutes)))

I was very pleased with the cuisine of the restaurant - everything is always very tasty and varied! That's what, it's impossible to find fault with her))) And of course, when choosing a table for dinner, stop on the terrace! The proximity of the shores of Jordan and Saudi Arabia with alluring lights, starry sky and warm breeze are the best accompaniment to a relaxing evening.
It is easy to get to the beach: buses run quite often, but we preferred walking along the picturesque golf courses!
The beach is modest, the sunbeds are not very comfortable, but tolerable. . .
Very clean sea and the presence of corals will not let you stay under the umbrella.
I recommend the most extreme pier at the Hyatt hotel, it already belongs to the wild beach, and there is the largest concentration of beauties that the Red Sea is rich in. There are moray eels, clowns, parrots, angels, and we were also lucky to meet a turtle!
From the mountain that goes up behind the Hyatt, a wonderful panorama opens up!!!
The proximity of Israel and Jordan make it possible to go on excursions. We contacted one of the local travel agencies Eva Tours. We went to Israel for 1 day - very satisfied with both the price and the organization of the trip.
But I, a diving enthusiast, was upset by the exorbitant prices for diving in Taba. The lack of competition allows the local dive center to push them to the limit!
Therefore, having found a common language with the local Bedouins, we went to Dahab, where diving is very well developed and prices do not bite.
I recommend visiting the Blue Hole (Blue Hole), but don't forget your mask and snorkel. There you will have a stunning view of the inhabitants of the Red Sea! The spirit is breathtaking!!!
In general, the holiday was a success, thanks to our enthusiasm and interesting new acquaintances. But I will not go to this hotel again: it is very quiet, boring and the choice of services and their suppliers is limited... There is absolutely nothing to do in the evening...
Hotel for family quiet rest and relaxation)))
