I rested with my husband in this hotel 11/24/16 - 12/1/16.
The check-in went well, without additional payment they gave a room with a sea view, although they bought a "mountain view". We were immediately treated to cocktails and taken to our room. For those who don't know, the hotel is a 10 minute walk from the Israeli border in the Gulf of Aqaba overlooking Jordan. One of the main reasons for going to Taba was an excursion to Israel. Unfortunately, now there are no planes flying from Kyiv to Taba, so we traveled from Sharm El Sheikh Airport for almost 4 hours by bus. But it should be noted that this 4-hour trip did not strain at all. On the way, we dropped off people in Dahab and walked around the territory of the Ibis hotel. Special thanks to TezTour for the clear organization of the entire holiday. Along the way, the Russian-speaking accompanying guide provided a lot of interesting information about Egypt. There was no TezTour representative at the hotel, so we bought an excursion to Israel immediately upon arrival at Sharma Airport. The cost at that time was $80 per person.
Israel: The one-day program included visits to the Dead Sea, the Jordan River, Bethlehem, Jerusalem. The tour is super, but one day is not enough for this, we are very tired. We left the hotel at 23:00 and returned at the same time the next day. Remember that it can take a long time to pass the Israeli border, our bus was delayed for 4 hours.

Hotel: the area is huge and surrounded by greenery. Despite the small number of vacationers, the staff made a lot of efforts to make our holiday unforgettable. The gardener gave me a bouquet of flowers just like that, the bartenders themselves offered various drinks. The staff is very friendly and courteous.
Beach: long (400m) and wide, sand with small pebbles, special shoes are not needed, although I bought myself special slippers for safety. The water is warm 24C, clear with a rich underwater world. You can also use the beach and the territory of the neighboring Hilton hotel.
Meals: Very high quality and tasty food, the only remark is that it is not a very plentiful variety of main dishes, but there was always chicken, fish, beef. You won't be left hungry. We went on the All Inclusive system.
Drinks: Offered local beer, whiskey, gin, rum, ouzo, wine. At lunch and dinner we usually drank local wine. Alcohol is offered in two bars from 11:00 to 23:00.
Wi-Fi: there is almost throughout the hotel, but sometimes the signal is weak, but the room is super! (The password for wi-fi in the room is in the TV menu).
Animation Entertainment: sucks. . . It seems to be there, but actually does nothing, almost every day the animation team, consisting of 5 people, complained about the small number of people and wandered around the hotel doing nothing all day.
Summary: I recommend this hotel for a great relaxing holiday. In the evenings a bit boring, but we occupied ourselves with shopping in the surrounding shops. The Hilton has a shopping mall with a large selection of goods. Also to the left of Movenpick, a 5-minute walk, there are several shops where you can buy local tea, coffee, fruits, etc.
I will be glad to answer additional questions, write))
