The purpose of my trip to Egypt this time was to visit Israel and Jordan, and since Taba is well located to visit these places, I began to choose a hotel there. I read various reviews before the trip and my choice of hotel fell on HYATT REGENCY TABA HEIGHTS 5 *. And I didn't regret it!
The most important of its advantages is that there are 2 piers on the beach, one of them is quite long and the initial depth is 3 meters, the other pier is at some distance from it, where the initial depth allows you to stand on the sandy bottom on your feet. It is very comfortable! In those days when the sea was calm, I went into the sea from a long pier, it was more convenient to swim and watch fish and corals with a mask. There are amazingly beautiful corals! And when the sea was stormy, I swam from a small pier. Although I swim well, I tried not to take risks. Firstly, because the waves imperceptibly carry you into the sea, and then, in which case, it is more difficult to swim to the stairs of the pier. And secondly, because sometimes unsafe marine life - sea urchins and lionfish swim right at the pier. There are really a lot of them. Therefore, without special shoes, it is better not to go into the sea at all! At the small pier a little to the right there is a flute fish (long and green, like a snake), but it is safe, there are whole flocks of them there - both small and larger. They swim almost directly on the surface of the water and if you look closely, you will definitely notice them. They are harmless and shy.
Another very important plus of this hotel is a long beach strip. Umbrellas and sun loungers are located quite far from each other, which allows you to be on the beach with great comfort, no one makes noise nearby, does not interfere with your relaxing holiday. Closer to the small pier, there are few umbrellas and sun loungers, where they are generally at a great distance. We loved sunbathing there. There is an outdoor shower on the beach. There are beautiful mountains near the beach. You can climb them and take a look at the entire hotel and surrounding areas, the view is very beautiful! Take your cameras!
There is always an observer (guard) on the beach for your safety, he will not leave the beach until the last visitor. There is always a person from the hotel service on the beach who keeps it clean, there are also special bins for garbage. Thanks to this, the beach is always clean and comfortable.
The hotel is mostly foreigners. There are few Russians, apparently due to the fact that the hotel does not provide for the All Inclusive system))) But this is good. The food system in this hotel is FB +. This means the following. The diet is strictly according to the schedule. Breakfast 7-11, lunch 13-15, dinner 19-22. During breakfast, only coffee with milk, tea, guava juice, hibiscus, orange juice can be offered from drinks. Drinking water is not offered at breakfast, and sometimes we just wanted to drink some water. Breakfast is always full of delicious pastries! They also have very tasty halva, be sure to try it.
For lunch and dinner drinks can be offered beer, red or white wine, drinking water. Juices only for breakfast. The choice of food, meat and fish is quite good. Always different soups. They often baked pizza, three times for dinner there were 2-3 types of rolls, which I was very happy about))) In general, the food pleased us.
At 11 o'clock the bar "El Fesco" opens by the large pool. There you can drink water, beer, wine, nectar juices (packaged) at any time and in any quantity: pineapple, guava, orange. I liked guava nectar the most! Sweetish, but not cloying, it quenches thirst well and we simply cannot find it in Russia. Pineapple is a bit sour, but not bad either. This bar offers free drinks and spirits until 22:00.
The hotel has a hookah for a fee ($5).
I had room E 101, it is very well located. I was just lucky, I did not pay extra. Next to this room is a large pool of 50 meters! I liked to swim in it at night or in the afternoon when the heat subsided. Came out - swam - went back to the room. Everything is nearby - a couple of minutes walk to the main restaurant and the beach.
Another big plus of this hotel is the air conditioners in the rooms, which do not turn off when you leave! It's nice to come out of the heat into the cool.
The staff does not understand Russian, so without knowledge of English, you will most likely be helped only by a hotel guide, who rarely visits a hotel... We had Pegasus and his representative Olga... A difficult person. Tourists usually did not receive any real help from her, she immediately transfers the topic of conversation to her excursions and tries to sell them to you at a rather high price. She did not really help any of the tourists during my vacation, there were only a lot of complaints about her.
Excursions are best bought from local travel companies. There are many of them and the prices are much cheaper than those of Pegasus. I traveled from the Sinai-Travel company, contacted them via the Internet while still at home in Russia and booked with them. No payment in advance! Everything is in place, in fact. Changed my mind to go - free. No need to worry that suddenly you can’t go or change your mind. From excursions I took Israel for 2 days and Jordan (Petra) for 1 day.
There are no discos on the territory of the hotel, the animation is not every day and is rather weak. But I didn't need it. I just wanted to relax, I led a healthy lifestyle)) I can recommend this hotel to newlyweds and couples - you won’t find a better vacation. The constant feeling that there is no one else in the hotel but you is guaranteed))) The sun loungers by the pool are almost always empty, there were also few people on the beach. You can easily find a free sunbed and umbrella at any time. No one is in a hurry, no queues.
The hotel has 1 souvenir shop, casino, golf, billiards, tennis. Free - gym (pretty good), sauna, Roman bath.
A free bus runs from the hotel every half an hour, you can go for souvenirs and shopping on the territory of the El Vekala hotel, a lot of interesting things are sold there and the assortment is not bad. Shopping was done there. The hookah there is also better than in the hotel.
I liked the rest very much! The hotel pleased. If you have any questions, write, I will answer everyone.
