Just got back from the hotel yesterday. What can I say: what you paid, you got. What to be offended. We were three with a child of 10 years. For everyone with a flight to Taba for a week, they paid 39.000. At the current rate of a penny. It would not be so insulting if they initially tuned in to 4 stars. And it so happened that they themselves believed in free cheese.
The hotel is very small, the territory is compact, there is nowhere to go out of the hotel, mountains and desert. There are several shops on the territory, but there is nothing interesting there either. Everyone comes here for Israel and Jordan. Whoever we talked to, everyone went on these excursions.
Now about the hotel in more detail. The rooms are all almost the same, it makes no sense to pay extra. The hotel was almost empty in December, so they changed two rooms: in the first, the faucet/shower switch did not work, in the second, there was a terrible mold in the bathroom. The third was the same, but without any problems. All these movements without bribes and tips. The staff is patient and polite. The manager apologized several times for the inconvenience. The decoration is modest, the furniture is in good condition. There was a small sofa for the child. Bed linen and towels are clean and free of stains. The mosquitoes at the hotel offered to take a nap if we needed to. We did not refuse, because the first days they did not bite, but ate us. Then it got a little colder and they disappeared. Cleaning was daily, quite decent.

The food at the hotel is very modest, but everything was enough. Meat, chicken and fish in large quantities, at least go on a protein diet, sometimes grill in the evenings, but the meat was most often tough and overcooked. Side dishes were also simple, as in other hotels in Egypt. The sweet was decent but the choice was small. I liked morning baking. There were few fruits, often for breakfast they were only chopped. Things were worse with drinks. The child constantly drank nasty multi-colored yuppies or soda heavily diluted with water. Coffee in bars only in bags, in the morning in teapots. Alcoholic cocktails are also poison: low-quality alcohol plus yuppies or cola. We brought a bottle of martini with us - the rest of the time we drank beer (normal quality).
Disappointed with the beach to be honest. Sunbeds and windscreens in terrible condition. On some sunbeds, the supports are knocked down, and the backs do not rise. But they are enough to choose a working one. The entrance to the sea is on pebbles, it is better to buy coral slippers for yourself, then sand. There are almost no corals, no fish either. Nothing to look at. The water in the sea was pleasant, warm and clean. The child enjoyed swimming very much. There was a kids club, but my son didn't like it very much. For a children's disco, he was already too old. It’s good that after a couple of days I found a friend for myself, and they chatted with each other for days on end in between swims. My husband and I were very bored, so we had to have fun on excursions. It was possible to order both from the guide and on the Internet. In Ciss Inn, Wi-Fi was very weak, but we still managed to contact Red Sea Travel, where we booked trips to Israel and Jordan. There were no questions about the organization, we paid for everything on the bus that took us from the hotel. The passage of the Israeli border was quite fast, as it turned out that we were resting in the low season.
In general, the hotel is quite suitable for lovers of a relaxing holiday, with children and young people it will be unrealistically boring.
