We spent 33 nights this time our 5th trip.Many reviews are listed and I wonder what people want?You can discuss with the reception if you wish for a quiter part of the hotel if this is what you want,but at the height of the season this may be a little difficult as the hotel has a very high occupancy rate.We have nothing but praise for as we don't like the pool area as this is for the younger generation and can be a bit noisy but we were all young once?The beach area can offer you a much quiter place.We don't drink and we go half board but the amount of food and choice means we only ate breakfast/dinner.If you wanted something else Ahmed the head chef would make-up something for you,where would you get this 5*treatment.The resteraunt manager Moktar was fabulous and again anything not to your satifaction he would be only to please to help.The staff from the resteraunt/reception/house keeping /poolarea were all eager to please and make your stay as pleasant as possible.All the staff only work in Taba their families are either in Cairo/Luxor/Alexandria which means they are away for long periods remember Norman Tebbit 'get on your bike' We accept that there is very little to do in the evenings but this suits us fine as we would sit in the lobby bar where you PAY for your drinks and either play cards or if the football season has started premier league matches.This was the
