Marriott Beach Hotel Taba Heights

Advantages: quiet relaxing break
Disadvantages: no where to go in the evenings really so need more entertainment in the hotel

...We went to taba in the easter break 2005 ,we landed at taba airport and had about a 45minute drive to the hotel ,and at first i thought what a building site as we drove through the mountain area ,but when we reached our hotel it was out of this world true 5 star luxury .please note security is very intense and a little off putting at first but is for your own good and you do get used to it guards are even located at the boundaries of all the hotels and on the beach .This really is paradise the hotel is one of only a handful in taba heights all mainly 5star like the sofitel and hyatt regancy and all situated on the beach of the red sea you really are isolated ,this is the perfect holiday to just chill and relax you really are isolated no shops or roads to walk down just the beach front .you can get a bus on the hour everyday to water...

Review of Taba, Egypt

Marriot Hotel-Taba

Advantages: Constant sunshine, blissful conditions, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Expensive drinks

...... and thats before you venture into the water sports or outside of the hotel. If you want nightlife then dont choose Taba, go to the busier Sharm-el-Shiek. But if you prefer a more relaxed holiday this is the place to go. There is still plenty to do in the evenings, the nearby little town has plenty of restaurants and a couple bars as well as a lovely new golf course if you like that kind of thing. In addition, we went scuba diving, snorkelling, para gliding, safari jeep ride into the desert, quad biking, walking trip to coloured canyon (amazing), private beduin nights, water skiing and shopping in the market town of Dahab... so as you can see there is a wide variety of things to do and thats before you take a breather to sunbathe in the hammocks on the edge of the beach being waited on by the waiters. My first trip was myself and a girl...

Review of Taba, Egypt

Radisson SAS - Taba Egypt

Advantages: Beautiful setting, clean hotel
Disadvantages: Entertainment was poor

...deserved to be rated as a 5 star! The rooms were large, I shared with a friend and we had a double bed each. Also in the room was a fridge, a tv, plenty of storage place for clothes, a table and chairs and a storage space designed for suitcases, which was very useful as it kept them out the way. The rooms had large bathrooms, with a full size bath and regular hot water. You also got free Sky Tv out there which was useful between 4-6 when the sun has gone down but it was too early for dinner. I really would recomend the hotel to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday, however, if you were looking to see the sights of Egypt then you would probabaly be better going to Sharm as in Taba you are quite a long journey from the main sights of Egypt....

Review of Radisson SAS Resort, Taba

Taba Heights Sofitel REVIEW

Advantages: food, all includive, alot of activities
Disadvantages: tips, short day, food service

...When i visited this hotel i only went for a week. Arriving at the very small but organised taba airport was very nice and quick. Following the events of the Sharm El Shiek bombings you have to have a police export wherever you go. The rooms are spectacular with plenty of luxury even in the standard room i was staying in. All rooms i noticed have a sea view, some better than others. The resturant has nice food although the service doesnt live up to its 5 star rating. Alot of the food runs out after the first hour and rarely gets topped up voluntarily. The waitors are very helpful if they get tipped. The pool is huge and very refreshing in the blistering mid-day sun. There are also jacuzzis and a saltwater pool. The beach is nice although to get the best sunbeds you have to get up at about 6 o'clock as the Russians and West Europeans...

Review of Sofitel Taba Heights, Taba

Marriott, Taba Heights

Advantages: Sun, sea, sand, relaxation
Disadvantages: Food, entertainment

...and a drink. When we landed in Taba it was already evening so you couldn't see anything when you flew over.After getting the most pointless bus from the plane to the building which was within easy walking distance we had to buy our visa. This costs £15 and is not optional, they'll put a little sticker and stamp in your passport as you can't travel around Egypt without it. After a 45minute coach journey on winding roads we arrived at Taba Heights. To be honest first opinions were not amazing as it looked like there was a lot of rubble surrounding the area. However as we got closer to our hotel The Marriott we started to see a different side. The security in Egypt is very strong, the coach being stopped a few times and underneath checked before we drove up to the hotel.This continued for the whole holiday which was a good thing as it made...

Review of Taba, Egypt

Taba Heights in September

Advantages: Sun, sand and snorkelling
Disadvantages: Not the place for lovers of shopping & entertainment

...My partner loves snorkelling, and we'd been promising ourselves a Red Sea holiday for some time, but only with the recent opening of Taba Airport (removing the need to travel via Israel) did we think it worth choosing Taba, which was until the 1980s 'Occupied Territory', rather than Smarm or Hurghada. I knew that Taba Heights was an artificial green resort set down in the desert with no 'real' towns or villages anywhere nearby before | went, and it is vital to book any holdiay there knowing exactly what to expect. I also knew that the point, as far as the Egyptians were concerned, was to keep tourism (which their desperately poor economy needs) corralled in a place that was secure, defensible, and unlikely to provoke the wrath of conservative Egyptians. It's vital to be the kind of person who can generate your own amusement. We...

Review of Taba, Egypt

Another day in taba heights

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

...We went to the Marriott Beach Resort at the end of August, the last week of the peak holiday season. We 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, seated 3 at each window with a small isle in between. If you are travelling as a couple, please request seats next to each other on the plane, as we made the mistake of not doing, and we were seperated on the way there by the aisle. There is absolutely no room on the plane whatsoever...

Review of Taba Heights Marriott Beach Resort, South Sinai

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal. PRICE: Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time...

Review of Hotel International, Paris

Norbreck Castle Hotel

Advantages: Out of the town
Disadvantages: Too many people!

...I'm glad that I did not get to read any of the reviews before I went to this hotel, or see the Holidays from Hell programme the night before! The hotel can be found along the seafront, about three miles from the main centre of Blackpool, heading out towards Fleetwood. It is now under the Britannia hotels group and it is easily accessible by tram and bus. We used the trams the whole time instead of me driving all the time. My husband, my two youngest children and myself went last week for a couple of nights, after finding an advert which gave a special price of £35 per person dinner bed and breakfast per night. The two children were included free of charge, including their meals. The advert did state that the hotel was ungoing a £7million pound upgrade, and that some services may not be available. This did not deter us as we...

Review of Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool

hotel olsanka

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Not so easy to access the town centre of prague.

...hotel olsanka prague Having been to prague recently and having stayed at this particular accomodation a few years ago, I was keen to give this place one final chance as I had had a really rubbish stay at this place. Similarly to my previous stay, I had notice that the Hotel seems to be advertised much cheaper on accomodation websites compared to near enough all other places to stay in prague. getting to the accomodation The details of getting to prague town centre are covered in my previous prague accomodation review, and whilst this accomodation is not as easy to get to location wise, a tram journey needed to get the accomodation from one of the central location's of prague town centre. booking process I booked this accomodation using a third party reservation booking website and paid around seventy euros...
