Never again to Taba Eights!
The place looks like an abandoned movie set. The room was fine, but dirty. When I stepped into the shower it was full of sand brought from the beach probably from the previous occupiers. One sink tap was leaking and flooding all the bathroom top. Breakfast was acceptable, but the food was not very tasty and drinks terrible. The hotel beach was awful, rubbish everywhere and probably the only place all along the cost with no reef. I went there only one day and a poor camel stayed tied down (neck to front legs), unable to stand up, for hours. The only positive thing is people at the reception desk, all very kind and helpful. I felt a bit sorry for them. Taba Heights is located in the middle of nowhere and there is no transport to go and visit places outside of it unless you pay an awful amount of money and use the internal travel agent. We left the second day....

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for having taken your time to review your stay with us. We are deeply sorry to know that your stay did not match your expectations. Indeed, serving during the high season could be a tough challenge. We are sad to hear that you were even not satisfied by our staff that tried the best in the formed situation and offered you the possible maximum to create satisfaction despite your respectful decision to leave. As well, kindly notice that although the resort is indeed not located at the first line, we provide a free of charge shuttle service every half an hour that brings a guest to the beach in just a few minutes. We strongly hope you will consider visiting our resort once again at another season, so we have a chance to completely change your impression and let you enjoy your vacation. Please contact the resort to arrange a stay.

My children and I had a WONDERFUL stay at this resort! The staff was super friendly and made our stay amazing! They were fun, caring, kind and became apart of our family! The room was great, with hot water and great water pressure. We also loved all the meals and especially the POOLS! My kids lived on the water slides and we spent all day there! The only disappointment was that there is no internet in the rooms, but they said that this will change in the coming weeks. Also, it was hard for me to get a strong connection in the lobby, but that’s no deal breaker! Also, it would have been nice the have channels on the TV for the kids to watch during down time since there was no internet in the room. But again, not a deal breaker! One more thing: steer clear AWAY from the beauty salon that is on property- the man who works there is a PERVRT and sexual harraser. Other than the few things mentioned, this place is perfect and I HIGHLY recommend it, and hope that our family can return on day!

The bathrooms need a lot of work
The towels provided looks and feels like they came from a car wash. The towels were also very obviously frayed. No tissues in the tissue box holder. The only complimentary toiletry is a shower cap. The bathroom just did not look or feel clean.

Preis-Leistung unschlagbar
Es fahren regelmäßig Shuttle-Busse zum Stand und zwischen den Hotels, diese waren auch in der Regel pünktlich. Man kann auch laufen, es ist nur ein guter Kilometer zum Meer. Mir war es aber zu heiss, ich habe den Bus genommen. Die Entfernung zum Meer ist natürlich ein Nachteil im Vergleich zu den anderen Hotels. Dafür gibt es Uptown mehrere Restaurants zur Auswahl. Im Fying Carpet Restaurant zum Beispiel wurden mir jeden Abend super leckere vegane Speisen und Smoothies zubereitet, tolle, frische Salate usw., zu überaus fairen Preisen. Ich habe so ca. 6 - 7 Euro pro Tag für Dinner ausgegeben. Das ist inklusive Getränke wie frischen Säften und Bier. Mein Zimmer war tip-top und sehr ruhig. WiFi gibt es leider nur an der Rezeption im Wekala. Da bin ich lieber nach dem Baden in die Bar-Lounge im Strand Hotel um meine Mails zu checken. Da sitzt man gemütlicher und kann einen Cocktail schlürfen. Alles in allem kann ich das El Wekala in Uptown Taba Heights nur Empfehlen.

Harassment, suspect of taking away my cellphone du
Very bad experience. 1. I heard that there were two German women were stabbed in a resort in South Sinai When I arrived the resort. 2. The restaurant manager asked me to have a drink in the hotel room, that is absolutely harassment for a female guest, and very offensive, very impolite, I refused. He ordered a waiter to stop me taking water from the water machine but other guests can have food, soft drink, coffee and tea. I was scared too, very scared. 3. When I was talking to the receptionist for arranging a taxi or hotel Limousine to the border, my Cellphone disappear. Strand beach resort told me that my cellphone is with that receptionist. The receptionist refuses pay on line but insist an international money transfer by wires, China control the foreign currency export. This is the only way the hotel accept. it is the 22nd date, they still refuse to return my cellphone back. I am very upset.
