ARRIVAL. We flew on a Boeing company North Wind. The flight went just fine. We landed at the airport in Sharm, quickly got things, got on the buses and drove to Taba. The journey takes 3 hours. All this time we were driving next to massive mountains, sometimes there were Bedouin settlements.
ACCOMMODATION. We arrived at the hotel at 12, we were immediately put on bracelets so that we had lunch, but we were placed in the room only after 2. At first we were told that we would have a room without a balcony with access to the terrace. Q: Are there other rooms? - there was a negative answer, but the $ 10 put in the passport helped us get a room with a balcony and access to the sea))) This is an absolutely normal practice, and in Turkey and before that in Egypt such issues were resolved only in this way)))
NUMBERS. The rooms are clean, cleaning every day. The cleaners pleased us not only with standard swans, but also with flowers, cats, crocodiles and other different funny figures made of towels) They are 5+! !
Since the hotel is European, and very few Russians rest there, up to 11 the pool, as well as the beach, are empty. This is connected with the fact that up to 11 music plays, under which you can fall asleep right in the water. Then gymnastics begins, loud, energetic music plays there, and after it ends, they again turn on rotten meat. And this, in my opinion, MINUS! ! It opens only at 9 am, closes at 5 pm, and swimming is prohibited at night. I didn't like it either.
FOOD. This is a very important point in the rest, and here I can not say anything good! Imagine! - EVERY DAY IS THE SAME!!!!!!! ! ! ! At the end of the holiday, you could no longer open the lids, and guess what was inside! A lot of people FUCKED and SPIT from this! ! ! By the end, I was already sick! MINUS, MINUS, MINUS!!!!!!! ! !
ANIMATION. Very weak. Although, the guys themselves are great, cool! At 11 there was yoga, then gymnastics in the pool from 12 to 13.
Maybe there was something else, but no one called, and I did not see anything, as it happens in other hotels. Evening animation starts only at 22.15, and even then it is not always interesting. What to do before ten o'clock? ! ! Everyone sat in the Lobby, where the same melancholy music played, to which everyone yawned. At 23.00 the disco starts on floor P, but as a rule, very few people danced there, and the music was not always successful. In general, if you want to hang out, a lot of activities - then you will die of boredom here ((( In general, this is also a minus for me. There are a lot of children with their parents, large Arab families - for them, of course, it's great.
SPECIAL ATTENTION I WILL PAY TO NICHOLAS and PEGAS! ! If you still decide to go to this hotel, then you will definitely meet with Nikolai Voitik, a representative of PEGASA. Please give him a bald head on his floor! ))) At 1 meeting you will hear very little about the hotel from him. He will immediately begin to sell you excursions at insane prices! ! !
Israel, for example, he offers for $160 per person! LOstalis very satisfied, some emotions! ! Exactly the same tour and lunch included, comfortable buses. We advised everyone there this company, many refused the Pegasus, they went and were delighted! And the guide, Slava, is just an insanely strong historian, we listened to him! In general, I advise!
Then we ordered diving from Kolyan. He sold it to us for $55, and as it turned out, he just sends people to the diving center, which is located on the territory of the hotel, right behind the Casa Taba restaurant. There it costs $45.
We also booked a tour of Abu Galum. The time was set for 7 am at the reception. We waited an hour and a half, and no one came for us. We caught Kolya, and as it turned out, the tour was canceled, and no one told us anything!
And what finally killed it was the day of departure. They came to pick up dry food at 4 in the morning, but we are not even on the lists! Although the day before, Kolyan swore that he had ALREADY signed us up. ! !
We also went to the Church of St. Catherine. Also through Pegasus. Everything was ok here. But if you want to go on a boat trip or diving (I advise you! ) - go to the diving center behind the Casa Taba restaurant.
ALL INCLUSIVE. Works from 11 am to 23.00 pm. Before and after this time, everything is paid, except for the canteen. This is a MINUS! In many hotels round the clock ol inclusive, well, or at least from 8 to 00.00 hours. Moreover, closer to 11 p. m. , the bartenders pretend that they don’t see you and pass by (Alcoholic drinks are far from super. Beer is tasteless. But you can drink, where to go))))) But Tequila BOOM-BOOM is credited there! ! Be careful with her
Let me summarize:
MINUSES.
- food
- DrassCode in their restaurant for dinner. Shorts just below the knees. My boyfriend accidentally brought jeans so that the whole vacation would go without dinner! It's overkill, it's annoying. People come to rest, but get restrictions.
- If you do not know English, it will be difficult for you. 60 percent of the staff does not speak Russian.
And the guards don't speak English or Russian at all! They wave their hands, yell something on their own, it is impossible to understand what they want. Many had troubles with them.
- Well, Kolyan is a minus to all minuses))))
- still, to get to the hotel you need to go through 3 checkpoints. Everywhere they search with a metal detector and rummage through bags! And even when you leave the shops, which are also on the territory of the hotel, you are searched. This was done due to the fact that the hotel was blown up 2 times. This, of course, is not a minus, it just infuriates when they rummage through your bags every time.
PROS.
-Corals! !
- And the biggest plus, because of which we chose this hotel, is that it is located on the border with Israel. The Israeli post is directly visible from the windows. Very comfortably!
- There are also two free restaurants on site, which you can sign up for at 13.00 near the entrance to the restaurant (canteen))))))) - Mexican and Arabic. We really enjoyed the Mexican.
Not very good in Arabic, but there are delicious cakes)
- Went to FIRESHOW. It costs $10. There were tricks with cobras, yoga, belly dancing and actually tricks with fire. 1 drink included. We loved it, it's worth it!
***
Basically, that's all I wanted to say. Definitely not a 5* hotel! Something closer to 4*. We don’t complain much, because we chose him only because of our closeness to Israel - we knew what we were getting into. We had a good rest - you can’t spoil the sea and the weather there, but this does not apply to the hotel either! )) The second time we will definitely not go there!
If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer =)
