Movenpick - Value for Money

Advantages: Views, Snorkelling
Disadvantages: Food

Given the cracking deal I got for two weeks staying at this hotel, I had my doubs about the kind of quality I could expect from this hotel. I was very pleasantly surprised and certainly came away from my holiday feeling I had value for money. The hotel is set in lovely grounds, and is well maintained. My room had a pool/ocean view and I never tired of looking out towards Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The fantastic weather does of course help, but we ...
...a mere five paces from our sunlounger meant that we could literally go snorkelling whenever we liked. It was great. Food is a bit bland, but check out the other three restaurants for more choice. The Hilton is next door and offers a wider selection of shops, bars and a pharmacy if required. ...

Review of Movenpick Resort, Taba

dissapointing summer holiday

Advantages: hot sunny weather, spotlessly clean
Disadvantages: food, entertainment, basic rooms/facilities

We've just come back from a week at this hotel, and I must say it was very disappointing. The rooms were very basic, although they were well cleaned, and in good condition (we were staying in the second block at the back, which I think is relatively new, so it should have been in good condition really). We were half board, and for the first couple of days the food on offer was just about ok, but then we realised there was nothing new on offer, and ...
...only warm, and the best food on offer was the salads. There is also a restaurant, which costs extra to eat in. We went twice, and it was empty apart from us both times. Unfortunately the second time we went, within hours we were ill, and spent the last full day of our holiday in our room unable to move! There was half an hour of entertainment each evening, which itself was good, but it was only 30 minutes, and at half past ten, they start clearing ...

Review of Flamenco Beach and Resort, El Quseir

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 ...

Review of Hyatt Regency Taba Heights, Taba

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 ...
