I'm a teenager from England who enjoys writing reviews to gain money to do scuba diving, as I want to be a marine conservationist who protects our endangered oceans. Please help me raise money by rating my reviews. Thank you everyone!

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 lagoon ray. There were hundreds of fish everywhere! We then heard somewhere that the Hyatt was even better, so we walked for 10 minutes to the Hyatt every morning and afternoon after that, and were awarded with much better coral and even more fish.
The hotel is all inclusive, which means that all buffet meals, drinks and ice-creams were included. You could have as much as you want! There were also water fountains everywhere, which was useful as it's easy to get dehydrated in the heat. The buffet food was fairly good, and none of us got ill, including the children, even though we 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!
