And not a pyramid in sight...

Advantages: a quiet, stylish and peaceful hotel
Disadvantages: a bit to quiet at night

...the most recent is the Three Corners in Taba Heights. Taba is the closest Egyptian town to the Israeli border, almost within shouting distance of Elat, with the Jordanian port of Aqaba visible beyond that. About half an hour south of Taba is the resort of Taba Heights nestling snugly between the red mountains and the azure waters of the Sinai coast. The resort is completely tourist orientated, that is to say that there is no local settlement in ...
...open to the public. The Three Corners is the hotel that will eventually cater specifically for those who have opted for a golfing holiday, but as yet normal tourists populate it. The Three Corners, in keeping with the other hotels at the resort, is a stylish affair. A collection of mainly one and two storey buildings are connected by courtyards and green-bordered walkways, fountains and walled garden features softening the earth tones of the complex. ...

Review of Three Corners Ocean View Hotel, El Gouna

Beach paradise undiscovered by Brits

Advantages: Clean, Feels exclusive, Very affordable
Disadvantages: Pharoah's Revenge still found me!

...I stayed at the Sultan Bey hotel and couldn't fault it. The rooms were clean and clutter-free with ensuite facilities, television, minibar and air conditioning. The food was excellent, with buffet-style breakfast and evening dining in european and asian styles. TIP: Sultan Bey, along with several of the other hotels and restaurants, operated a dining plan where, even if you were on half-board at a particular hotel, you could dine at one of the partner ...
...the best features of the Sultan Bey was the quiet at night. Having stayed in places where music and noise from discos, clubs and general party-going destroys a night's sleep, I loved the peace I got here. Sultan Bey has its own island, which can be reached by bridge (after a 20 minute walk) or by a half-hourly ferry boat, taking ten minutes. As a resident of the hotel, you are free to use the facilities free of charge, with others there is a small ...

Review of Sultan Bey Hotel, El Gouna

Movenpick Spa Resort - Swiss Hospitality

Advantages: Clean, Tidy, lots of choice
Disadvantages: No t-shirts in the pool, beach not so good

This hotel is very clean and tidy and very professionally run. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble for any of them. They all made an effort to speak with the children and made us all feel welcome. Although the hotel was fully booked we never really felt as though we were packed in. The hotel and it's grounds are very spacious. There are numerous restaurants on site all with a very good choice and high standard ...
...on site. There are serval pools too, one is a noisy pool where children can play volleyball and generally make a noise and there is another that is a quiet pool where children are encouraged to been seen and not heard. One thing though, children (or anyone for that matter) are not allowed to wear a t-shirt in the pool. So make sure you take high factor sun protection. There is also a childrens play area (away from the pool), a kids club, tennis ...

Review of Movenpick Resort, El Gouna

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 ...
