Another day in taba heights

Advantages: Temperature, Swimming pool, gorgeous beach, cheap
Disadvantages: Food, constant badgering, flight and airline

...flew from Manchester direct to Taba International which is about 30-45mins away from the resort. The flight on the way out was at 1.55pm on a Monday, which is the only day and time you can fly out there. From Manchester there is only one tour operator who provide holidays to this particular part of Egypt called \'Peltours\', and the airline is \'Astreus\', a fairly new airline, and also a very small one. This particular airline have very small planes, ...
...When we arrived at Taba we were shown exactly where to go, the Egyptian tour operator was very helpful, but it was a mad rush at the airport, as it is very small, and the tour operators wanted you to buy a visa at the airport for those that wanted to go on trips to Cairo or to Israel. (They tell you that you have to buy these at the airport, it simply isnt true the Marriott can supply these if you need them, so need to queue for hours on end on arrival). ...

Review of Taba Heights Marriott Beach Resort, South Sinai

THE MOST RETURN VISITED HOTEL IN THE HILTON GROUP

Advantages: GREAT LOCATION AT A GREAT PRICE FOR AN AI
Disadvantages: OUT OF THE WAY

...Out of all the hilton hotels in the world,Coral hilton @ Nuweiba is the one that has the most returns to! Its 1/2 way between Taba/Sharm on the Aqaba cost. Overlooking a private beach on the red sea. The hotel is 4* AI with recently refurbished rooms. With the Sinai mountains behind you, and looking at the mountains of Saudi across the red sea, its a wonderful & beautiful location to wake up in with wonderful sunrises & sunsets. The staff are all ...
...(Great firm on the web - guarantee to beat high street travel agents). Not bad for a 4* Hilton (Should be 5). I paid more for a3* to El Gouna in May last year - last minute deal. Not comparison. Get booking!!! Enjoy ...

Review of Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort, Nuweiba

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 ...

Review of The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort, Marsa Alam

I didn't feel I had paid enough - it was amazing!

Advantages: Many of them, flight not too long, very high quality, great food, great location, fantastic!
Disadvantages: The sun went down a little too early...but you cannot blame the hotel for that!

We went to this hotel in October, the weather was certainly hot enough at that time of year. I had seen pictures on the internet, but know from experience that often pictures can be deceiving! We flew from Manchester, with a flight of just 5 hours, which is long enough to sample the food that the flight had to offer (Mmmmm!) and watch a film. It is not a bad flight time to somewhere that has great weather and fantastic culture. I had been to Egypt ...
...well organized. We seemed to get off the plane on to a coach quite quickly. It was dark by the time be landed, so not realizing that we were travelling through the Sinai Mountains, as I couldn't see them, I presumed the driver was a typical Egyptian not able to keep the vehicle going in a straight line! They are pretty scary on the roads! But on the journey back to the airport two weeks later, realized he had actually done quite well! The Hotel was ...
