Mövenpick Taba — Hotel in South Sinai

Not a good hotel in any way. It lacks energy and vitality. I booked 6 rooms for the whole family and we were all disappointed. Here are the reasons: Cleanliness - not good. Did not clean the rooms properly. They did not replace the cups of coffee and did not refill our coffee and sugar in the room. Just leave the glasses dirty with the coffee inside until we have complained after two days (!!!). Did not change the towels. If there was a towel that was on the porch to dry, just stay there. They did not wipe the tables and certainly not the marble in the bathroom. The toilets were not cleaned either. Every time I called the reception, I was told that in another 5 minutes someone would come to clean and did not arrive until on my fifth day off, I got angry and went down to the manager. He arrived with two other people from the crew and was shocked. When we got to the room we were given a clean room with fruit and desserts. But what does it help me that the whole vacation I am disappointed and that I had to get nervous ??? It no longer helped. Entertainment staff - bad. They held their performances in an indoor pool. The place is stuffy with the smell of chlorine, no air and the sound was bad. The dancer or anyone who entertained was very far from the audience when between us and the stage the pool was what created distance and poor energy. The place of entertainment had few people and it is clear that the place does not allow to sit there. Very unpleasant. I did not understand why the performances in the place are suffocating when they have large spaces outside. Really stupid. The entertainment staff at the pool was boring. No attractions and very poor. They sprayed the garden against mosquitoes with a chemical (heavy smoke) at 18.00 when there are children in the hotel gardens. The smell was unbearable. Why not spray early in the morning when people have not yet woken up. Why spray when there are children and people in the hotel gardens ??? My partner got allergies and itching. The dining room - The food in the dining room did not change and was the same except for the change that one day they made a kebab and one day they made a chicken. Food quality - was not tasty. The meat is cooked and difficult to eat. In the morning, make pancakes outside when the plates are not near the pancake stand. We had to take plates out with us, take pancakes and go back inside to add sauces. Obviously when there is a stand for pancakes, plates should be near the stand as well as the sauces. Really frustrating, no order and organization. Reception and staff services - do not smile and are not received kindly except for one of the entertainment staff who was very nice. We arrive on the first day after a long drive. The hotel does not receive guests with a drink. Minimalism of reception. The pool experience - the sound is barely audible. Only one speaker is near the bar so whoever is a little far away does not hear the music well. There are not enough umbrellas and chairs. The streams you see in the pictures with the water were dry, without water, so the pictures you see on Booking website and on the internet are not real at all. On Booking website and on all websites it is stated that the hotel has 4 different restaurants only they did not mention that to eat there you have to pay extra money. We thought in the evening we had a choice of where to eat. I think this is a scam. It should be noted that the restaurants located in the hotel space are for a separate fee. The children's playground was broken. I could not play there with my baby. The railing of my porch was loose. I called the manager and they came to fix it. This is a very serious default of a hotel (third floor). In conclusion: We were lucky that the Hilton was next to the hotel so we could enjoy the amazing entertainment staff and casino. Do not recommend this hotel in any way. Do...

Beautiful Hotel with Great Service, Amazing Spa and Sea Tour – But Food and Smoking Policy Need Improvement

We stayed at the hotel from Friday to Sunday (May 23-25/2025) with an all-inclusive package. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and well-maintained. The pools, rooms, bathrooms, and public areas were spotless. The view is stunning, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing.

The staff was truly wonderful—friendly, respectful, and always smiling. Special thanks to Mirna at reception, Abd El-Fattah, and Nabil from the beach bar—such kind and pleasant people who made us feel truly welcome.

We had a fantastic time at the hotel spa, where we received excellent treatments from Rimon, Alaa, Shireen, and Rania. We enjoyed a facial and pedicure—their hands are golden, especially Alaa, who stood out with her warm and caring approach.

One of the highlights of our trip was a boat tour on the Red Sea, arranged through the hotel. We sailed to a beautiful spot full of colorful corals and fish. We jumped into the water with snorkels and had an amazing experience. There’s also an option for diving. The instructors were very kind and, like the rest of the staff, always had a smile on their faces.

As for the all-inclusive package—it included meals and drinks, both soft and alcoholic. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. The variety was limited, and the food wasn’t very appealing. We ended up eating rice and chicken, which was dry and overcooked. Dinner was almost identical to lunch. We eventually chose to dine outside the hotel.

Another downside was the smoking. Although the hotel is advertised as non-smoking, guests in the room next to us smoked on their balcony, making it uncomfortable for us to enjoy our own.

Suggestions for improvement: “All-inclusive” should mean more variety—fresh fruits like apples, pears, and watermelon, snacks by the pool and beach (pizza, shawarma, fruits), and especially ice cream, which wasn’t included. It’s strange that alcohol was freely available but simple snacks weren’t.

We also hope the hotel will enforce its non-smoking policy more strictly, to ensure comfort for all guests.

In summary, we had a pleasant and memorable stay, thanks to the beautiful setting, wonderful staff, excellent spa, and the unforgettable boat trip. With better food options and better enforcement of the non-smoking policy, this hotel could easily offer a top-tier...

I recently had the opportunity to spend a long weekend at the Movenpick Taba, enjoying a four-night stay on an all-inclusive meals basis. Overall, my experience at the hotel was quite positive, with excellent facilities and attentive service.

The facilities were fantastic. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the hotel's beautiful architecture and well-maintained grounds. The staff members were friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist with any requests or questions I had. The service throughout my stay was top-notch, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The special "Thank You" goes out to Mustafa from the reception team, who helped us a lot. Also, thanks to the guest relations manager, who was very caring.

One of the highlights of my culinary experience was the à la carte seafood restaurant. The restaurant offered a diverse selection of seafood dishes that were prepared and presented beautifully. The quality and taste of the seafood were excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience there. The attentive service there added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

However, I have to express my disappointment with the food served in the main buffet-style restaurant. While there was a wide variety of dishes available, the overall quality and taste were not up to par. Many of the dishes lacked flavor and were not as tasty as I had hoped. It felt like quantity was prioritized over quality, and as a result, the dining experience in the main restaurant fell short of expectations. It would have been great to see more attention to detail in the preparation and seasoning of the dishes, as well as more variety in flavors. Improving the taste and quality of the food in the buffet-style restaurant would greatly enhance the overall dining experience for guests.

Overall, my stay was mostly enjoyable, thanks to the hotel's excellent facilities and...
