Hilton Dahab - good 5* hotel with nice beach and lagoon

Advantages: Luxurious, watersports, great lagoon, good food
Disadvantages: Extra food and drinks expensive, no snorkelling in lagoon

The Hilton Dahab is a fairly green hotel spread across the Dahab coastline. There is a nice golden sand beach, although it is too hot to walk on without shoes in summer, so I would recommend buying some beach/swimming shoes from the hotel shop. The lagoon in lovely for swimming and very walm, although there is little in terms of marine life. There is a dive centre (sinai divers) which can arrange diving and snorkelling trips and courses. We were ...
...could have a pizza or snack for lunch on the beach (expensive)! The breakfasts are hilton standards (fantastic) and the buffet dinners are also good. There is a games room with billiards and table tennis which you can hire. The rooms are in blocks, and are very comfortable, as you would expect from a 5* hotel. There may be an amount of walking to the beach, as the resort is quite large. Overall, I would recommend Hilton Dahab for watersports enthusiasts ...

Review of Hilton, Dahab

All-in Sofitel Taba Heights, great snorkelling and decent food

Advantages: All inclusive, snorkelling and diving, good rooms, private beach, great views over mountains
Disadvantages: Concretey, beach is pebbly and course, spread over a large area

We went to the Sofitel Taba Heights as a family get-together by the sea. It is a very concrete resort spread over an area of coastline, and has its own private beach, which is rather pebbly so I would recommend buying beach/swimming shoes. The sand also gets very hot in summer and is too hot to walk on without damaging your feet. The snorkelling is excellent. We swam off the Sofitel's jetty and were amazed when the first thing we saw was a blue spotted ...
...had the salads! Overall, I would recommend the Sofitel Taba Heights to anyone who likes snorkelling (although there are pools too) and diving (there's a nearby dive centre, called waterworld, which offers free transport to and from the hotels. The food is fine and the all inclusive is excellent! ...

Review of Sofitel Taba Heights, Taba

mia and richard lynch say...

Advantages: right by sea
Disadvantages: cleanliness, bay dirty

Dear Sirs I write to let you have our views on our recent stay at your hotel in Alexandria. It is with regret that I have to tell you that our sojourn with you was one of the worst hotel experiences we have had in Egypt. From our initial reception in the lobby to the point of departure we found your staff to be off hand and impolite, the state of the hotel itself to be shabby and run down. The food served at your various outlets and restaurants ...
...occasions when we got served far too slowly and in an inept manner. The lighting in your lobby of an evening was dreadful – the lights far too bright and the atmosphere not at all relaxing or sophisticated. The toilets came straight out into the lobby so that every time anyone made a visit or left the toilet area, whoever was sitting directly outside on the lounge would have the unfortunate experience of whatever unpleasant smells wafted out from ...

Review of Helnan Palestine, Alexandria

A great place to go, as long as you don't eat!!

Advantages: Staff are amazing, sun, beach, pools, value for money
Disadvantages: Terrible food!!

...sunny around May. They suggested Sol Y Mar Sea Star in Taba, Egypt. The hotel is all inclusive -----Location----- Taba is located right up in the North East on Egypt, close to Israel and Jordan. It's a great place to stay if you wanted to visit a few different countries as you are not far from Israel, Jordan and also Saudi Arabia. It really is in a fantastic location for visiting all these countries, and the tour operator that we went with (Thomas ...
...is a short drive from Sol y Mar. This is like a small town, with a few big hotels around twenty shops/stalls, places to eat and a golf course. We went for a day, and, to be honest, I wouldn't go back. There was a supermarket, which was useful, but the other shops were disappointing - we bought nearly nothing and I am a shopaholic! They weren't all open, and when I went in some of them, I felt as though I was being pushed into buying something. There ...
