Отель для единоразового посещения Hotel for a one-time visit

Most tourists who stay at the Hilton go to this hotel to travel to Israel. And by and large, we can confirm that, in view of the advantages and disadvantages of the hotel, it is worth relaxing in it, probably, only for this reason. In the beginning, we wanted to go to Movenpick, but it was not yet open before our arrival after a downpour and mudflow this spring. I had to go to the Hilton. Although Movenpick looked more attractive in the pictures. In the Hilton, we had a room on the 5th floor of the main building overlooking the pool. At the reception they offered to pay 15 dollars a day for a room with a sea view, but we refused. Our room was not new, the furniture too, the main thing is that everything worked, bed linen and towels were clean, even snow-white. The housekeeping was very good. The cleaner dusted and washed the floor every day, regularly changed the cosmetics in the bathroom. And most importantly, that he tried to do everything at a time when we were not in the room. Tourists on other floors were not so lucky. Compatriots complained that another cleaner woke them up by knocking on the door and trying to enter a closed room. The hotel area is quite spacious. The part called Nelson Village, of course, we liked more than the part with the main building, it was just buried in greenery. And the beach part of Nelson liked more, more spacious and clean. Entry into the sea is very comfortable, no slippers or other special shoes are needed. Up to this point, my review has been purely positive, but the huge minus of the hotel is the food service. There were no complaints at the reception and the cleaner at all. But in restaurants and bars. . . There were no problems with breakfast, the choice was good, delicious pastries, omelettes, scrambled eggs, everything your heart desires, even chicken and beef sausages could be eaten with pleasure. Also, there was always a cooler where you could drink water in unlimited quantities (a one and a half liter bottle was also brought to the room every day). For lunch, you could eat in the main restaurant and in Nelson (as for Egypt, there is very tasty pizza). But the coolers were no longer observed. For lunch and dinner, drinks are served by waiters, you can make tea and coffee yourself. Interrogating the waiter is a separate conversation. First you need to attract his attention with active gestures, then he will show with a gesture that he will do, then waiting, finally taking the order and then again waiting for the drink. Sometimes you can die of thirst. For dinner, you can choose and reserve the Nelson restaurant, where both food and service are better. The choice of dishes is rather meager, although there is plenty to choose from, but you have to choose the same thing, since everything else is simply tasteless. Now for the bars. We are an aged married couple, we drink very little alcohol, but 100 ml of beer is not the portion of the drink that should be served to a tourist. Plastic cups for beer and wine are designed for a maximum of 150 ml. To freshen up, you have to constantly go to a bar where they look at you like a deep drunkard. They tried to tip, but it turned out to be impossible to feed everyone, and those who once gave, are already waiting for the next portion of baksheesh. All this left an unpleasant imprint on our weekly vacation. . Therefore, you should come to the hotel only for the sake of being close to Israel, and especially taking into account the fact that after the first visit there is an opportunity to visit Eilat without restrictions. After reading reviews about Akhmed, they were going to buy from him, but then they came across an offer from redsea-travel on the Internet, where it was proposed to go not for 75-80, like with Akhmed, but for 70 dollars, and the employees there turned out to be Russians. We booked a tour on the Internet and went the next day upon arrival. Everything went just great. Wonderful guide Igor in Israel was very pleased. It was also funny that all the tourists from the Hilton, who went for 80 and 85, were with us in the group. I understand that in Taba the price tag is different for everyone, who can sell how. When we returned from Israel, we went to a Muslim holiday, Arabs came to the hotel and it became quite stuffy, dirty and loud. The staff barely had time to clean the area and change appliances in the restaurant. Against the backdrop of all this, I would like to recommend the hotel for a one-time visit for a trip to the Holy Land.
