Briefly the advantages of the hotel:
• Very beautiful, green area
• Cozy and relaxed atmosphere, the feeling of a country holiday in Nelson Village
• Beaches for every taste - sand, corals, sun loungers with hammocks
• The hotel is located in a very beautiful bay, surrounded by mountains, with a magnificent view of 3 countries - Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The border with Israel is right behind the hotel.
Briefly disadvantages of the hotel:
• Monotonous food, almost all fruits are not tasty, lack of teaspoons (?! ! ! ) and napkins in the main restaurant.

We arrived in Taba around 10 am, and an hour later we were already at the hotel. They settled right away, though they tried to divorce us from the number - we ordered Nelson Village, but we were offered a room in the main building, arguing that it was bigger and better. We did not like it - a tiny balcony and a door to the next room. Although the sea view is amazing.

I came across a room on the first floor in Nelson Village, and I liked everything there - a large terrace with access to the sea, a huge bed, a sofa and two armchairs. Around the garden, birds sing, beauty and romance! The price difference with the main building is $20 per day, but it's worth it.
The main beach is 50m from our house, there were always sun loungers, but good places, with an umbrella and a hammock, had to be taken early. Another plus of settling in Nelson Village is that it is within easy reach to the beach, and it was not a problem for us to get a good place there. I went swimming early in the morning, drank coffee on the terrace, and sometimes still had time to sleep for an hour before breakfast.

Near the main building there is also a beach, but it is very small.
I don’t know when our enterprising compatriots occupied places there, but at 7 in the morning there were no more places - physically there were only a couple of people on the beach, but ALL the sun loungers were occupied with towels, books, and sometimes just pebbles / A few more words about compatriots - touched by the people who brought dried fish with them. I share their love for this product, but they laid out this fish on a newspaper on a sun lounger near the pool, and it was funny to watch how the ladies (in heels and with full make-up) with their sharp multi-colored nails butcher the slave from the intestines and other insides. The waiter who brought them the beer was probably a little shocked. .

But I must say that the hotel staff is polite and tolerant, they try not to interfere with the rest of tourists. A small example from our life. We got a cat there, quite a baby.
At first we fed her, then she began to visit us (another plus of the rooms on the first floor), and then apparently decided not to leave and settled on our terrace. Thanks to this kitty, she entertained us as best she could, allowed us to play and pet with her, met and escorted us to the beach. In short, thanks to her, the atmosphere of our vacation became completely homely. If you are in that hotel and see a dark kitten with a white spot on the tip of its tail, say hello from us : ) So about the staff, I will quote a dialogue with one of the hotel workers:

“There you have a cat lives on the balcony. Do you like her? he asked, "If not, I can remove it. "
“No, what are you, we just adore her. True, she wrote to us on the sofa.
"No problems. Now we will replace your sofa with a new one. !!! ! !

Other entertainment options at the hotel include a casino, a hookah bar and several bars. In the casino we won $60 in roulette (excluding our bet), so we really liked it : )
In the first few days, a bar on the beach worked in the evening, including we used it as a mini-bar : ). But then it was closed, and instead you could sit by the sea at Nelson Pub.
The bars give very tasty packaged juices, I really liked the mango and guava.

The animation is pleasant and not annoying, I did stretching in the morning, and before dinner you can have fun with water aerobics. It is something! In the evening we went to an oriental dance and bingo show, it was not bad. There are four Russian channels, but three of them are news, so we were aware of all the events. If there is not enough news, then during breakfast you can take a photocopy of a Russian newspaper.
The hotel has a shopping center, Duty Free and a pharmacy there.
In general, everything is there! I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to relax and unwind, and who appreciates comfort and service.
With pleasure I will come there again, even taking into account the fact that I was a little tired of their food - everything was edible, in some places even very tasty, but monotonous. After all, food is not the main thing! For me, on this trip, the main thing was the opportunity to relax and forget about the city bustle and stress. Silence, comfort, friendliness of the staff, the beauty of nature and the chamber atmosphere of the hotel - what you need for a romantic getaway. I am very glad that our honeymoon trip took place there : )
