Hotel ratings by criteria:
Location
A good, cozy and quite comfortable hotel, which is located 30 km from the city of Taba - a place where the borders of 4 states are located at once: Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. An ideal place for travel lovers - it is possible to visit 3 countries at once - Egypt, Israel, Jordan.

Service
Meeting on excursions with tourists from various hotels, we were constantly involved in discussions about what was wrong with our hotel and what we were not happy with. We were lousy interlocutors in this context, as we did not find any negative aspects during our stay. (By the way, 10 km from our hotel was the Sonesta Hotel, declared as 5, - all its inhabitants were in solidarity in opinion - a maximum of 3. On the contrary, having bought 4, we felt like we were in a 5+ hotel) Cleaning in the rooms - daily. No problems with hot water. ALL rooms face the sea - do not make a separate surcharge for this.

The general manager of the hotel keeps the staff in a healthy tone - control over cleaning, food, service - 24 hours a day. Meals - as in all hotels. Alcoholic drinks are locally produced. We do not recommend drinking juices, but everything else is more than decent. (coffee lovers - better take your own)

Animation
Since January, they have a quite decent animator from Turkey - Samed, a cheerful guy who has a solid experience in this profile (5 years of animation in Turkey have done their good deed))) Gymnastics in the morning, water polo, beach volleyball, aqua aerobics, obligatory evening the show - in short, those who are interested in outdoor recreation - do not need to look for it - it is provided in a good volume.

Tour operator representative
Having read negative reviews about the Pegasus company before leaving, we were initially in a healthy tone and were very pleasantly surprised that we did not receive the slightest correspondence to what we read about.
Absolutely adequate girl Olya (representative for work with Ukrainian tourists) was at work at least 10 hours a day. She didn't talk much, but she had answers to all questions. All excursions were organized flawlessly without the slightest hiccups.

Tours
Because the hotel is located in the desert, there were no special alternatives to choosing a tour operator for the trip, we went with Pegasus, but we were satisfied. Israel - 230 dollars. Jordan Petra - 220. The road to both countries is long, but it all depends on the mood. Impressions - the sea. Tour guides are decent. You can ask Olya about the weather, because despite the proximity in another country, it can differ significantly.

Having experience of holidays in Sharm and Hurghada, I immediately warn you - if you are in the mood for drive and entertainment - you will not find them in Taba. Quiet "rest of pensioners" - this is presented at the highest level - the opportunity to sleep off and swim is ideal.
2 corals on the beach - a lot of fish and 3 pools on the territory. Well, and, of course, for lovers of travel, the place is strategically very glorious - Cairo, Mount Moses, Israel. Jordan Petra.
