I visited this hotel in 2008. Only the territory remained from that chic hotel, and even that is not all functioning today. The lake, the building by the sea, the golf courses - everything is mothballed. The rooms are large, but the cleaning is bad, and the towels have not been changed even once in a week!! ! Even the bed linen was not changed for our arrival after the previous vacationers - a wrinkled sheet and with interesting large stains... I myself would not have believed this if someone else had told this about a 5 * hotel. I want to note that we have been vacationing in Egypt for over 20 years. Intercontinental Taba, to my regret, is the worst of all that my husband and I have been to!
There is simply no normal entrance to the sea, there is no pontoon at all, many tourists were injured... But the most disgusting thing about this hotel is the food! Yes, no one died of hunger, although the choice of dishes is sooo meager. BUT, even this was not annoying: for all the time there was not a single deliciously cooked dish !! ! Sometimes there was simply nothing to eat for breakfast, except for scrambled eggs. It seems that the chef fell ill and was replaced by random people who were far from cooking. For the first time I saw an Egyptian hotel where pastries did not attract me!! ! Everything is dry, the dough is clogged, not tasty and therefore often not fresh, not much people leaned on : ) Instant coffee, terrible in taste, there was no green tea at all, only black. And the spoons in the restaurant are PLASTIC!! ! As well as glasses in bars, except for the bar near the reception. I don't want to describe the shortage of napkins in the restaurant, washed to the skin and torn towels on the beach, room keys, a cat. they don’t open the door and you have to run to the reception 5 times a day, the pool is heated, there is no body cream, bathrobes, slippers in the rooms (after all, the hotel is positioned as a luxury hotel), etc. And for the first time in my life, the hotel did not show the slightest attention to the fact that on the day of arrival I had a birthday (although even the company wrote it on the voucher! ). I, in principle, did not need anything, but I know how it is done in other hotels, and even 5 *! Perhaps, given such a service, there are no Europeans in the hotel, only Russia and Ukraine...
Although the hotel itself disappointed, the trip to Israel brightened up the impressions of the rest. I want to suggest right away that excursions with "their" guides are usually 1.5 - 2 times more expensive!
