Нам очень понравилось. We really enjoyed.

Quiet, peaceful hotel, which I will gladly return to. The territory is large, well-groomed. Rooms are clean, cleaned well. The food is excellent in my opinion. The choice of dishes is large, a lot of juices, fruits, sweets. The staff is friendly, no one nirazu naughty, no money was asked. All requests were fulfilled instantly. The animators are good guys, but there is no one to work with them there. The contingent is not the same. Mostly elderly couples and families with children. There are few Russians. Youth is not here. Although, depending on what kind of youth. My husband and I really enjoyed having live music. The guitarist played wonderful every night in the main hall. A dance group came, dervishes performed. You can’t call the weather hot, but you can swim and sunbathe. Long sleeves are required in the evening. The beach is very good: large, clean, sand and small pebbles. Entry into the sea is good, special. shoes are not needed. Sea-tale. This is generally the Gulf of Aqaba. The water is purest. The reef is right off the coast (on the border with the Hilton). There were a lot of fish, there was a turtle. Masks with snorkels can be bought at the nearby Hilton for $10. There was no wind, you might say. Well, or the wind was very weak. I talked with vacationers from Sharm, where the wind is stronger. Now about why everyone goes to Taba, i. e. e. about excursions to Israel and Jordan. After reading reviews on the Internet, I concluded that we would go on an excursion not with our tour operator, but with another company. I wrote down the phone numbers of several agencies in advance. After meeting with the representative of Pegasus (Aleksey), we were very scared of the consequences of visiting Israel and Jordan on our own. But still, we decided not to go with Pegasus, because the difference in the price for a family was 300 dollars. . We went on a two-day excursion to Jerusalem and Petra. We were very pleased with everything, both the organization and what we saw. The organization of an excursion to Jerusalem differs in this: Pegasus first takes you to the Dead Sea, and this happens very early in the morning, you know, it’s still cold. And then through the churches, but by that time huge queues form and tourists may not see everything that was planned. They don’t take them to Bethlehem at all, but there the most significant place for Christians is the Church of the Nativity. To visit this place, in my opinion, is better than visiting the Way of the Cross and the Garden of Gethsemane, where Pegasus leads, instead of Bethlehem. And we started by visiting Jerusalem, very early, without queues, we passed all the most important places in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, went to Bethlehem, and then at 3 o'clock in the afternoon we came to swim in the Dead Sea. I want to say special thanks to the Israeli guide Igor, he is the best! But there is nothing to thank the Jordanian guide for. He didn’t tell me anything interesting, I knew all this without him. He apparently decided that the tourists were suckers and instead of showing us the city of Aqaba, he took us to shops where prices were inflated many times, and even played against us on the dollar against the dinar. And when we said about it, he freaked out and ran into the bus. Now about the shops. Taba doesn't have them. The Hilton has mini shops with all sorts of nonsense. There is also duty free. By the way, do not be afraid to buy alcohol there, it is really original, I myself was convinced. I bought Chivas Rigle whiskey with apprehension, I was afraid that it was “left”, but no! Now I regret that I didn’t buy enough. Good duty free at Israeli customs. Aqaba is also good, but the range is smaller. Although the same whiskey was 13 dollars cheaper, and in Israel it was 2 more expensive. And on the "Absolute" prices are the same. The choice of perfume is small. If there is a desire to buy, then in Israel or even in Moscow. There will be no other opportunity. If you ever feel like going to Eilat, there are decent shops there, you can do it!
