Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel can be rated 4. It is located on the border with Israel, in the mountains. Nearby is another hotel - Movenpiс. The territory is not large, the main building is separate from the bungalow - Nelson village. By the way, when you check in, you will be offered a choice - either pay 10 USD. per day for a room with a sea view, or 15 USD. per day per room in a bungalow. Those rooms that travel agencies sell - they are all standard with mountain views and no balconies.

Service at the hotel is not satisfactory, it is clear that the Arabs are lazy to the point of horror. Cleaning was done regularly, but not qualitatively - towels were changed, the bed was made, and nothing more. Towels (orange striped) are a lot of dirty and old, I don’t know how they wash and dry them, but there are a lot of stains. On the last day, when there were a lot of people, there were no towels at all for a long time. It is necessary to demand only white, in the sense of pure. The Arabs try to joke about it, but all their jokes are stupid.

Our friends, and there were 2 of them, took 2 cards, and then, after they handed over the towels, they gave one. And they also cursed with them that they kind of took one towel, not two.

The beach is simply not cleaned, a lot of flies. That's what there are no complaints - so it's to the sea. Clean, transparent, warm. But there are a lot of corals, so you need to buy special slippers (they cost $ 5 in the hotel store) and no problem. Fish can be fed, although it is prohibited. Access to the sea is also possible through the pier, it’s even better, because you immediately go out onto the sand and don’t feel any inconvenience.

Sea water in the pool. They change and wash the pool regularly, but it's still small, it's better to go to the sea right away. The bars that are located on the sea and in the pool work only for those people who pay money, and those who have everything inclusive pour beer into paper cups, in short, they try to save money in every possible way.
The food in the restaurant is monotonous, every day the same thing. This is very tiring and annoying. There are no napkins on the tables, the cutlery is not changed, but when you set aside the plate, they can simply remove it without asking your permission. To be honest, it's not pleasantly creepy. It seems that they are just standing over their heads and waiting for you to put the plate down. For dinner, when you have to order drinks, you can not hope when they take the order - they can immediately, but they can only at the end of the dinner. And be careful with the checks you sign.

Yes, and in Taba there is a problem with water. Everyone tries to pour water in the morning, but in such a way that the waiters would not see, otherwise they begin to scold you for it. If you take water from the minibar, get ready to pay for a 0.6 liter bottle. – 2 USD But it's better to go outside the hotel and buy normal bottles of water for 2.80 Eg. pounds.

The rooms in the hotel are normal, there are a lot of hangers in the closet. When I was put in the room, the safe did not work for me.

I asked the front desk to fix it. ……. . Waited 2 days. Bathroom is old but clean. Yes, and it happens that the water is turned off at night. When we went on an excursion to Israel, and we need to leave at 4 in the morning, there was no water. And electronic keys are demagnetized very often, for those 2 weeks that I lived, my key was demagnetized 6 times.

But in general, these minor annoyances do not cause much trouble. Rest is very relaxing. I liked the hotel, because you eat at the sea, and the sea there is just super. Haven't seen this anywhere before. There are many hammocks on the beaches, you can just lie down and enjoy your vacation. The air is clean and warm. The last few days I didn't even want to leave. You get used to everything, you can put up with a lot. I wish you all a pleasant stay, sunny weather and warm sea.
