I liked the hotel with an unusual design in the hotel, natural materials in the rooms (stone, wood on the floor, wooden beds).
In principle, quite green, flowers. And close to the border, so you don't have to puff on the bus for long on the way back. Well, on foot to the local market (in Taba Village itself, that is, the village) and to the Hilton, where there is a disco, a more expensive market, etc.
I agree with the previous reviews - there are few places on the beach, take it at 6-7 in the morning (just dawn because of the Jordanian mountains). The sea is NOT AS DIFFERENT as in Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada, there are a lot of hedgehogs and if the tide is out, then in the sea, except for the passage cut through on the left, you won’t swim in the corals, scratch your tummies : -)

The food at the hotel was poor, they gave out a piece of meat, a piece of fish. Although they won’t leave you hungry, you somehow don’t really want to push and walk in circles with the status of a "Buffet". As in the whole Fruit Taba - only pieces of melon, then they deliver little. There were no frills and masterpieces of Sharm El Sheikh in desserts either.
Hookah $ 1.5-2 for as many people as you want, milkshake MANGO-shake - was super $ 3-4, Turkish coffee (that's what we told them in English) $ 2, orange juice from Tetra-Pak regular packages 3 $ (but in the market such a liter is $ 1-2). It's better to pay in pounds, change at the bank in the Hilton.
And if you eat in a restaurant, then wait a long time, but the portions we had were LOOOOOOO big. But, apparently, the knowledge of the language had an effect, it surprised them that we speak fluently.
This came in handy when detecting a leaking toilet, the lack of some light bulbs in the room, a hole in the sheet. The next day, some of them changed their rooms, but because of the large terrace, we did not do this.
A photo session in this hotel will be great, stock up in Duty Free with some alcohol if you drink, wake up early to meet the dawn and tune in to such a MONOPOLY Taboo, it will be better than shaking from Sharm to Israel.
On excursions, advice is to take Jordan + Israel together for 2 days by bus. You leave the hotel at 5 am (and not at 1 am, as usual in Israel, and stand at customs until 4-5 am !!! ! Whoever arrived earlier gets slippers : -)
And so you will see One of the Wonders of the World - PETRA, spend the night in Amman, and through the north you will pass to the Dead Sea and further Jerusalem. Dead Sea products are cheaper and, according to experienced people, it is better in Jordan. And the Israelis have made a business of it. Although if the whole series of products costs $ 30, then take it - for such a price you will not buy "network marketing" cosmetics.
Good luck and good mood. Solitude, unobtrusiveness will be provided to you there : -)
