Rested with a child on November 10-17. Before Taba, they were both in Egypt (Hurghada), and in Turkey and Greece, so there was something to compare with. Communication with staff. Without knowledge of English it will be difficult, because this is a hotel mainly for Europeans, and the staff knows only a couple of words in the great and mighty. Settlement. It passed quickly, instead of Garden View they gave Sea View, and for free, although at first there was a phrase about an additional payment of $ 15 per day for such a benefit. This proposal did not find understanding with me and was rejected. The room is normal, and the presence of a terrace allows you not to use the corridor when going to the beach. 2 bottles of water were put daily, regardless of whether it was in the refrigerator at the time of cleaning. The staff did not make swans, flowers and other frills, but they cleaned normally, although for a long time - it happened up to 13-14 hours. The water from the shower did not overflow, but the lack of a bathtub was somewhat upsetting. The toilet was not immediately noticed: the open door to the bathroom blocked the view : -)
TV in the chest: cool and does not cause inconvenience when using. Beach: the entrance to the sea is not very - a lot of stones and quite shallow. When entering from the pontoon, you immediately get to a deeper area with the presence of living creatures. It is better to go to Hyatt for corals - there are 2 piers and more fish. Pools - the bulk of people bathe in a heated pool with fresh water, because. the water in the other two pools located nearby is quite cool. Nearby there are 2 jacuzzis, but they work in turn. The food is not bad (for Egypt), I saw the queue only once. Drinks are good, ice cream is good. We were upset by the lack of a bar on the beach (it is planned to open in the near future, now, supposedly, it is not the season yet! ) And the presence of only one A-la carte restaurant. We didn’t make it to the Mediterranean restaurant, but considering that this is the same establishment as our main restaurant, we weren’t upset. Shops - were only in El-Vekal, there are very few of them and the prices are absolutely not interesting. Excursions - the prices of Pegasus were not pleasing, and they were not pleasing 1.5-2 times, so they limited themselves to a trip to Abu Galum. Vacationers - the British, Germans, French, Poles and quite a lot of both compatriots and citizens of neighboring states. It should be noted that the shouts of "Tagil! " was not heard during the entire holiday. All in all, Sofitel in Taba is a good hotel for a relaxing holiday.
