We rested in this hotel from 09.05 to 20.05. 2010. I chose a hotel for a very long time and nevertheless settled on the Hilton. I traveled with a young man, we were very pleased with the rest. But I'll tell you everything in detail.
We bought tickets in March and decided to fly to Taba in advance, because. We didn’t want to drag a lot of time from Sharm. I read a bunch of bad reviews about Orenburg Airlines in advance and now I can safely say that not a single bad review has been confirmed! Excellent airlines, the planes are small, very clean and well-groomed, they did not feel the pressure drop at all and did not get sick! The stewards and the entire crew are super, very polite, tidy, in general, the flight back and forth was at the highest level.
It took about 30 minutes to get to the hotel, where at the reception I batted my eyes, while my boyfriend stepped aside and asked for a good room without any additional payments (we originally paid for the standard). We got a room with a sea view on the 8th floor, just a great option, provided that some got rooms on lower floors overlooking the hotel's outbuildings. We had a balcony and a wonderful view of the sea and mountain near the hotel.

Very convenient hotel schedule - breakfast and dinner from 6-30 to 11 o'clock, so after arrival we still managed to have a quiet dinner.
The food is quite tasty and basically has everything you need. But it doesn’t differ in particular variety, there were also few fruits, watermelon was given twice, the dogs are very hard. Therefore, I advise you not to eat only in the main restaurant if possible, since there are restaurants with Mexican and Arabic cuisine on the territory. We dined at the Mexican restaurant 2 times, everything was also very friendly, quite tasty. But Marhaba with Arabic cuisine amazed us, everything was sooooo tasty and the attitude towards guests is amazing - girls put napkins on their knees, they serve them on time. Pre-registration is carried out in these restaurants. I advise everyone to eat more in these restaurants than in the main ones.
I knew in advance that the hotel is not for youth, so I did not expect much entertainment. We missed each other. The contingent in the hotel is mostly Americans and Poles. In the afternoon, water aerobics and yoga were held, a guy walked along the beach and very affably offered to swim with scuba diving under water, just at least try to breathe. The service was free)) But in the end, it’s true that I began to miss at least a little fun music, in the evenings there are no special entertainments, except for live music in the hotel bar, though we must pay tribute to the local singer, he does his job great.
The flies on the beach were very annoying, they didn’t know where to get away from them, but the beach itself was good, the hammocks pleased and of course the proximity to the hotel, the sea is magnificent....Warm, beautiful (I had never been to Egypt before, so I’m not a big connoisseur of flora and fauna), but the big beautiful fish at arm's length from the shore amazed me!

At the end of the description of the hotel, I can say that we had a flight in the evening and in the morning we handed over our things to the storage room, and when we came to receive them, it turned out that our things were on the street (!! ), we approached them, checked everything, there after all, there was also hand luggage, and no one even approached us, you never know whose things we delve into. It surprised.
Pegasus. . . Pegasus disappointed as expected. We did not receive any information other than excursions, it was a little wild, usually we went from Teza, a completely different attitude. We went on three excursions, chose for a long time from whom to go, doubted, thought about taking a risk or not taking a risk, and still went from Pegasus. we bought it closer to the top. Hungry and angry, we returned to the hotel, and did not even receive an apology for our joint.
We chose this hotel, as well as many others, because of the proximity to Israel. .
We passed the border quickly enough, in 2 hours, we were brought to the Dead Sea around 6-30. . To be honest, I didn't care. In my opinion, it’s even better in the morning - there are few people on the sea, once, the sea is very warm, regardless of the time of the day, two, after the excursion itself you still get tired and flopping into the bus you don’t want to go anywhere, three. In Jerusalem itself, they visited all the holy places, venerated icons, consecrated gifts, visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. All this is a one day program. To be honest, this was enough for me . . I had a lot of impressions, the Russian-born guide Lyuba gave us all the most basic information, did not burden us with what we would forget in 10 minutes. In general, I liked the trip. On the way back, when they crossed the border, a group of Russian speakers sat near the gate, with children. to be honest, they looked hopeless. . .
So for those who doubt who to go from, I can advise - if you are risky people - go from the locals, we thought that Egypt is not exactly the place where you should hope for pan or disappeared, so if you have money, do not skimp, after all, the miser, as they say, pays twice. And excursions from Pegasus are very interesting.
We also went to Cairo, we wanted to see the pyramids and visit the Cairo Museum. Everyone liked it, but it was very hot.

But in general, the holiday turned out to be excellent, minor flaws did not spoil it at all, because nothing happens completely smoothly! This is a hotel for young couples who enjoy each other and families, the rest will be bored! so choose the hotel according to your needs. Personally, my Hilton Taba has been extremely satisfying. I wish you all a great holiday! Good luck!
