Until the very last moment, you hesitated in choosing a hotel: Hyatt Regency Taba or InterContinental Taba Resort Heights? We re-read hundreds of reviews about one and the other, in the end we settled on Hyatt and did not regret it for a second!
We rested in July 2010 through the travel agency "7 Seas" in Donetsk, tour operator "Pegas". Special thanks to the employees of "7 Seas" for their help in choosing a tour! At the hotel we were met by the hotel guide "Pegas" Zarina - just a smart girl! Very polite and friendly girl!
Probably, for the first time all the reviews read were confirmed by 100% - the hotel is just super-duper (it's not in vain that it is included in the top 100 hotels in the world)!!!
The Hyatt was built in an oriental style, and this was done not as a highlight for European tourists, but because wealthy Arabs like to relax here and everything is done for them and in their best traditions. Very original buildings (reminiscent of ancient Egyptian settlements), there is nothing plastic in the hotel, only stone, wood, metal. You have to be ready to accept this peculiar oriental style, as you will not see the chic and brilliance that Europeans are accustomed to in Hyatt.
The territory of the hotel does not evoke any other feelings than admiration - any botanical garden will envy such a diverse amount of greenery!! ! A huge number of species of palms and deciduous trees, flowers and shrubs are presented. Obviously, this riot of greenery in the middle of the desert is made to emphasize the status of the hotel, since the creation, and most importantly, the maintenance of all this costs a lot of money.
The hotel's infrastructure is thought out so that all Hyatt guests are dispersed and do not interfere with each other. Own artificial lake with sea water, 4 swimming pools + 3 children's pools and a huge beach will allow you to choose where to relax and how, there are no problems with sunbeds or queues in restaurants. Indeed, as written in many reviews, one gets the impression that the hotel is half empty, as people are almost invisible. However, judging by the mountains of suitcases and the crowds of people arriving / leaving near the main entrance, you understand that this is far from the case. Where does everyone go - is it a mystery ? ! ; -)
The coral reef is the best of all the hotels on this coast. Tourists from nearby hotels come to bathe in the Hyatt, but even here two separate pontoons cope with the load and there is no usual crowd of masked swimmers. The Red Sea, as always, is on top, in addition to the standard set of colorful fish, it is quite possible to meet octopuses, turtles and other exotics.
It should be noted that there is no “all inclusive” in the Hyatt so beloved by the Slavic heart, which guarantees the almost complete absence of a Russian-speaking tourist. The food in the hotels is above average, you can’t call it chic, but also meager. Breakfasts are very monotonous, the only thing that pleased us was the abundance of fresh fruits, Danon yoghurts and an unlimited number of free fresh drinks: tomato, orange, pineapple and guava. But dinner delighted - every day different cuisines of the peoples of the world: Arabic, French, Italian, and so on. Russian truth was not ; -) Service in restaurants is very attentive, polite and unobtrusive. In general, the hotel staff deserves special attention: obviously, the recruitment work there is very serious. All well-groomed, well-mannered and tactful, there is no extortion of the coveted dollar for their services at all.
Near the hotel there is a village where you can buy everything you need 2-3 times cheaper than in the hotel stores. Every half an hour there is a bus that carries tourists for free. Bars and restaurants are also located there, the prices in which are moderate and allow you to pass the evenings.
The location of the hotel near the Israeli and Jordanian borders allows you to make interesting sightseeing trips: the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, Petra, and so on. You can buy excursions both from a hotel guide and in the above village, prices will differ by about 30-40%. Taking a “street” guide or a hotel is, of course, a purely individual matter, but it must be borne in mind that these excursions are associated with crossing the border of Egypt and staying on the territory of other states, so is it worth saving on safety ?!
My summary is this: if you want a calm and measured rest, away from noisy discos and drunken orgies - you will not regret choosing the Hyatt Regency Taba!! !
