FLIGHT - Unfortunately, planes do not fly to Taba now. Therefore, they flew to Sharm, and from there they still sawed on the bus for 4 hours to Taba. Basically, it's annoying.
HOTEL - I was very outraged when at the entrance to the hotel they turned out all our things, including suitcases, poked around in ladies' panties and sniffed all the bottles brought. But they settled very quickly. At the reception, I only asked to give me a lower floor. Because I knew that for rooms with balconies and sea views you need to pay extra even when you book a hotel. When I went into the room, ofigela, they gave me a room with a sea view and a balcony.
The room is small but everything looked pretty good. Clean, nothing broken, everything worked fine. Water was brought to the room daily 1.5 liters. whether I drank it or not. They cleaned well, every day they made me swans, hearts and some other little animals out of towels. But I left $1.

Not everyone bazaars in Russian, but they know elementary Russian words like: juice, pepsi, whiskey, lemon, give, etc. But everyone knows English.
FOOD - this is the main minus of the hotel. There is very little choice, everything is monotonous and mostly just tasteless. During the 10 days of my vacation, only once there was a delicious potato in foil and a baked turkey. Fruit is a separate issue. Apples and oranges are cut into small pieces, which turns them into porridge. I have never seen such nonsense in any hotel in the world. Sometimes they gave a watermelon, but our Russian brother flew to it at the speed of a diesel locomotive, while not forgetting to take the largest possible basin with him so that no one else would get it. And also our Russian brother was different creating huge unnecessary queues, terrible scandals with breaking dishes. It was not the first time in Egypt that I had always gorged themselves on their sweet delicacies, but here it was generally impossible to eat what they call sweet. The bulk was made from semolina, and the rest were the same type of shortbread pies. At dinner, they made tasteless pancakes, but at least you could take some kind of chocolate sauce or caramel sauce with them. True, they served ice cream all day long.
BEACH - near the Hilton there is practically no entrance to the sea, only cobblestones, but there are also no fish either. But there is a lot of shade. But getting here is unrealistic, because our Russian brother excelled here too. Took sunbeds from 5 am. And it doesn’t matter that he himself will lie around the pool all day, the main thing is shoby bulo. Near Villa Nelson there are no corals at all, but there is an excellent entrance and sand, but there is no shade at all, and there are 4 umbrellas for the entire beach.
EXCURSIONS - the hotel is located right on the border with Israel. From the operators of the price kapets. Therefore, everyone takes excursions from local agencies. Personally, I took a two-day excursion. Israel + Jordan (by the way, in Jordan I even ate, they fed very tasty). Went from hotel employee Ali. He works in a canteen or in a bar. The price is 100 bucks cheaper than from Pegasus and everything was super. Although at first I was a little skeptical. Israel, of course, is a bomb and you really have to go there for 7 days in general. But Petra in Jordan is tiring. All the time on foot and even in the sun.

In Israel (Eilat), my friends and I then went on foot. From the border to Eilat take a taxi 10 tanks. But there aren't many attractions. Take products from the Dead Sea only in a store on the Dead Sea itself, it is much cheaper there.
WHEN LEAVING Taba, at some handicraft post, they demand to pay $ 15 from those who were on the excursion. in Israel. In fact, of course, this is arbitrary, according to the law, we don’t have to pay anything, but it will be difficult to profilonize the payment, because they enter the bus and check passports.
CONCLUSION - The hotel barely reaches 4 *. This is the only hotel that is located right on the border, so who wants to go on an excursion. in Israel take this hotel. But if you want to dive, eat delicious food and get 5 * comfort, then feel free to go to another hotel. Do not chase the loud name "Hilton". Paris Hilton's hair would stand on end if she stayed here even a day. The overall impression of the hotel is like a very good European three-ruble note. But for those who have nothing to compare principle like.
