Paradise for lovers. For those who are looking for romance, tranquility and beautiful nature.
From the airport in Taba to the hotel about an hour by bus through the desert, then a rocky road. The hotel is the best in Taba (there are few palm trees in the neighboring Movenpick, the whole territory is huge and flat, there is not a single shop). Together with Nelson Village, it is considered one territory. The rooms are comfortable, although modest. Ours was standard (I liked it very much) with a view of the mountain, the Bedouin Bazaar, a piece of the sea and Israel (for a room with a view of the sea only, you have to pay extra per day for 15-20 dollars). Cleaning every day, linen change every two days. We left tips (1 Egyptian pound per day) - and they began to make figurines out of towels for us. Two Russian channels (1st and RTR). Hairdryer, safe, refrigerator (it is called a bar) in the room for free. The staff is funny and pleasant. The main thing is to smile and behave good-naturedly. Basic English required.
The territory is very well-groomed, there are a lot of palm trees, from which ripe dates hung in clusters (by the way, they were also collected and served for lunch), the trees are neatly trimmed, on the beach in Nelson Village there are hammocks among the palm trees. It is especially beautiful in the evening when lights are lit in neighboring Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The inscription "Welcome to Israel" was visible from our room. The landscape is simply breathtaking.
Everything is great with security. The Arabs in the hotel are very friendly. And we only went outside the hotel once when we bought water (they have a monopoly there - one water is called "Barak", a very good non-carbonated water). The main thing is not to go too far: there is a checkpoint next to the mosque (it is paid). The mosque cannot be filmed. Tourists, however, are treated loyally. Many Israelis, Arabs, Poles have a rest. Later, our Russians piled on.
We had all inclusive. The food is excellent, especially pastries and sweets. From fresh fruits - guava (it is better not to try), apples, pears, sweet grapes, fresh oranges, small bananas, dates, figs, melon, watermelon. From drinks I liked juices and hibiscus (rose tea). In the evenings, they fried lamb, squid, sausages and kebabs - very tasty. The main thing is not to overeat and be careful with ready-made salads. Soups are not worth taking, the Egyptians do not know how to cook them. We don't really like to drink, so we enjoyed the Egyptian beer "Sakara" and wine brought from Kyiv. In general, it was possible to make mixes from cola, sprite, forfeits, juices, rum, gin, and locally produced vodka. All this will be done in the bars on the beach and near the pool.
Towels are issued on cards. It's even convenient, you can always exchange for dry. If overexposed - return the next day without problems. The salt water pool is also great. We did not swim in the jacuzzi (it was turned off all the time). But this was not important - the sea in Taba is simply fabulous!! ! All sorts of beautiful fish swim right off the shore. We fed them with pita bread and filmed them with an underwater camera. I advise you to familiarize yourself with dangerous species at home before departure. (We didn’t. At home, we were already freaking out. ) We saw an octopus right on the shore, lionfish, flute fish, moray eels, stone fish, zebra fish, angels, butterfly fish, etc. ! We swam on the beach "Nelson Village" - sandy, a lot of corals. For example, I didn’t buy special shoes (these are ordinary slippers with rubberized soles) - you can go along the sand anyway. Shower on the beach.
In general, the sea and rest - a fairy tale!
Disadvantages:
0. It takes a long time to go on excursions. We didn't go.
1. After six (namely, when the sun sets behind the mountain), you can’t swim in the sea or in the pools. This is in all hotels. Have fun by yourself or with animators.
2. For water, you need to go to the market 1 km from the hotel.
3. The little market consists of two or three pitiful tents. There are no exotic fruits.
4. Tea in the main restaurant, in my opinion, from bags, and instant coffee.
5. Jacuzzi doesn't always work.
6. You have to sign checks with zero balance after almost every drink or meal. This is an internal report. Nothing to do about.
7. Check out from the room at 12:00 on the last day. You have to pay $15 extra to keep it.
