The rooms are very spacious, the room service was without any complaints -always clean, fresh towels were almost every day in the room. Because the hotel already a few years old, were clear signs of usage on the floor, a torn off border at the patio door and other items not to be overlooked. The guest structure in the hotel was international, british, cis, french swiss and many germans ( a tour operator with an appropriate presence in the television had prior to thoroughly the knowledge stirred) springing no difference, whether you at the beach next to russian, ukrainians, british ... or german and also in the evening did representatives of certain nations not so clear, that you noisy celebrations or just Wodka from 100 grams glasses beverage. It was right calm and pleasant. read more

    I have the feeling, so you in this hotel a fairly high standards which the gastronomy subject. Following quote from the clearly scotts are... Changing theme buffets with a wide selection offers in the main restaurant the intercontinental taba heights. In the open show-kitchen or at various live stations can the chefs at work and its food with the emergence of watch... End of self-advertisement... Open show-kitchen... Where... Probably but not so open. The eigenanspruch is much higher than the reality-at least one high objectives. We had the impression that the chef after a week changed, since the dishes not bland, but well seasoned, but they were always lukewarm. Alternation; starting from the tellerstapel 1st rice evening in different variations, 2. chicken evening in different variations, 3. potatoes, evening, 4. steamed vegetables, evening in, in between occasionally live station once lamb once turkey, was delicious next station live again station always noodles after choice of the guest with tomatoes or onions, peppers and alternation relaxation afterwards again a lukewarm meal then potatoes evening in different variants then 2 time soup. You could also the first four stations evening together exchange then the change even bigger-but it was still no mood. Even if it once ice after dinner (2 times in 2 weeks) it was as a station exaggerated. 2 balls per person. By the way, you can in the afternoon imagine. If it in the evening ice will give, then in the afternoon at the beach only 2 kinds of available. Often appeared in the evaluations reviews on, that the chairs in the restaurant strong signs of wear and the already 30 chairs to Cairo on the way are newly padded to be. With the staff munkelt you, the camel, which chairs imposed were, was exhaustion in the desert keeled over and died of thirst. Are confident that investment size to all chairs to renew, the carpet in the restaurant has seen better times before he its existence than fleckenperser neglected, but you can have it in small steps acceptable. The beginning you could be there where the used dishes from the operation is collected -the closet in the desolate condition and for every meal time just dirty, the doors heavily stained by leftovers and with a german management only embarrassing. We used the possibility in the hotel's own restaurant laggon to food, very brilliant atmosphere however also not more or less as a barbecue apart from the beautiful environment and a welcome change to the buffet anyway.

    The staff is very friendly. Surely one is sometimes annoying, if you a drink times 15 minutes to wait, or you get something completely different. Sometimes, the staffing level a bit thin, even if new vacationers and the other not yet left. But probably the management responsible. Surely a tip works, but you should also even concerns, that our service in the restaurant before sunrise with his job begins and at 22:30 o'clock still no work has - during the 2 weeks we have permanently with the same staff to do - the waiter was shortly before check out in the afternoon not since-i hope he had times half a day free. Also at the reef bar or in the bar in the hotel turn the staff at a pace, which regard. Foreign languages of the staff. If you the possibility in the school at the english teaching-i come from the east germany's-and one has not only kipped-one comes really good clear-much better than on arabic. Also if you only expected that one spoke german-there is also in the german-speaking countries beautiful tourist destinations, merely not so warm at this time of the year.

    If you this hotel from Germany bay had to realize, that you from the airport Sharm el Sheik after the release or at least 3 hours before itself has, after taba heights to come (about 225 kilometer) a staff of FTI, which us in the van to the hotel escorted shortened the time he spoke very good german and does this tour 2 often 3 times per day-several days in a row (900 or 1350 kilometer on the day) the bus driver also! We had a trip to Jordan booked (city Petra) recommended, but not very cheap- 211€ per person-actually arrived in Aqaba you had to wait a while until the tour guide-a kind regards to gg-pick up. In this period passengers permanently from on board the ferry photographed or filmed, i cannot believe that we have a sustainable impression-maybe it was not all normal crew -8 you time on it. Israel is indeed very interesting, but you are almost 24 hours.

Lovely hotel with great amenities, right on the beach but with a couple of pools. Stayed all inclusive (first time ever) and was really pleasantly surprised by the standard of food and variation of menu's offered. Lots of drink choices and even the local Egyptian wine offered on all inclusive was perfectly quaffable :) Room was a really good size with great views of the pools and the sea beyond.

    3 Restaurants - went to all 3. Indoor restaurant was the main one for all inclusive . Huge selection of breakfasts and for lunch always several cooked options as well as really well stocked salad bars. Never got bored of the food. El Mar can be used for a more restricted snack at lunch on the all-inclusive and was located by the pool with outside shaded area. Several bars all offering good service including drinks served on the beach.

    Nothing was too much trouble. Having been hassled a bit in Sharm, was expecting the same here, but not the case. Always welcomed into the dining room by a friendly smile and a joke. Most staff speak excellent English as well as several other languages (putting us to shame). Room was cleaned to a high standard each day

    Pools very clean and well maintained. Internet connection was a little hit and miss. Did our morning stretching class on the beach which was a lovely way to start the day (not too early at 10.30) and there were several other classes offered . Only watched the hotel entertainment on one night so cant really comment on the standard. Beach cleaned every night. Windy in March but there are windbreaks to hide behind.

    Right on the beach front in a resort of around 5/6 hotels. Felt like their location was the best - certainly the grounds and beach was better looked after than the Hyatt ! Small shops and bank in hotel. Bus to local 'down town' which had further resort shops restaurants and bars. Great location for a relaxing holiday!

    The food was plentiful for all meals most nights there was a themed evening, and if you wished you could book a ala carte restaurant at an extra charge, you could also if you wished had a meal at another hotel if you were A I but you have to pay for your drinks. We enjoyed the food all the time there was a steam corner with fish & chicken as well as steamed. We tipped mostly when we are leaving and did noticed that all the waiters in the dining room put into a collective box. As with other parts of the hotel the dining room was immaculate, one of our waiters was Mahmoud who had a twinkle in his eye but was very charming and helpful.

    You are right on the beach and the hotel has a golf course just across the road, you are at most 1hr from the airport if you fly into Taba, some German guests have a 3hr transfer from Sharm. Taba is a very quiet resort which suited my wife and me, there is a bus that goes on a circular route round the other hotels. You can book excursions to Petra and Jerusalum, across the Red Sea you can see Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel

As pensioners, we have returned to the Intercontinental in search of a restful holiday in the sun in excellent surroundings . We rate both the accommodation and quality of food very highly indeed providing in both cases excellent value for money. The staff were without exception efficient, courteous and charming. We cannot comment on the hotel provision for children or the disabled but last year we went on a trip to Jerusalem which was most enjoyable and well- organised. The Intercontinental made every effort to accommodate our room requests and we shall be back in 2014 . read more

But there is the possibility at another body the hotel back cover. Very pleasant it was at the beach. Snorkelling is only possible under circumstances. It would be desirable, if the hotel a private jetty could, as for example the hotel Sofitel.

    The distance to the beach is excellent. Very annoying is the distance from the Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. The transfer time amounts to about 3 hours. We had in the evening drive, Absolutely ghastly. The transfers on days was very good. The sinai mountains is worth seeing. It is not understand, why the german vacationers not in taba to land. I listened with holiday-makers spoken. All would this hotel visit again, but not from the Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. The british and french and so on. It is reserved in taba to land.

By far the worst gastronomic an alleged 5 star hotels, service staff partly put despite tips lazy and overstrained (management should get at other hotel chains like for instance Iberostar or bahia principe look elsewhere, you would learn something). Theme nights especially 'orientalisch' for a west european unacceptable. What you here than meat means (in particular the so-called filet Wellington) is dead and totally verwürzt. In the snack-bar there was lack of space as at the time of the former gdr. The food is cold, but are the beverages warm. The staff errs unmethodically around, the few tables were not ... cleared. Coffee for breakfast the earliest will from 7:45 a. m. serves, before there was self-service at the meager buffet and so on Rooms are worn, cable hanging out of the wall; wash and remedying damage nothing! read more

    3 hours transfer of sharm-el-sheik. The management works on direct access to taba. I have the 2,5 hours transfer time however much as a free trip across along the east coast of the sinai peninsula. The hotel is located in an extremely well kept grounds together with other hotels (Sofitel, marriott, Hyatt Regency, Three Corners), a golf course, a diving and water sports centre and a shopping district. Two free shuttle links between all these objectives from early morning till night free. The proximity to israel and Jordan just invites to ganztagsausflügen there.

By infinitely covered with waste wüstengebirge we reached a bit shaken after a vierstündigen coach trip from sharm el sheikh finally the hotel complex in taba heights. The staff, the ambience and the flair of the hotel were very good. The facilities were very nice, clean and tidy. The same goes for the surrounding hotel facilities, the freely accessible. (for bathing, the peace and quiet want ideally) our targets were however historical destinations in the area. Over sonnenkkar tv booked, became of FTI unfortunately not optimally organized. By insufficient pre-information from a 12- stundentour a trip from almost 24 hours ... (a guest knew the travelling to israel not, 40 people had to spend hours in a solution wait. Sufficient information by the organizers would have prevented this) In short: the hotel itself is very recommendable - definitely not in the last week, as the weather more vernal is, however only, if trace taba is possible and excursions not the main objective of the vacation are.

Intercontinental Taba; winter break.

My wife and I visited the hotel for a week of winter sun. Our room was as requested, a high floor with sea view. Excellent size and well equipped. God quality linen changed daily. We stayed all inclusive and the buffet was plentiful and with a good variety. There was an excellent choice of fresh salads as starters and a variety of vegetables with main courses. A huge selection of cakes and sweets were well presented each day. Our fellow guests tended to be couples 50 plus. Mix was around 40% German, 40% UK and the rest Russian, French etc. read more

    The room could not be faulted, although we did suffer from a lack of hot water for a couple of days, however this is Egypt and the hotel did put this right.

  • Gastronomy
    5.0

    There is a variety of restaurants, although I think all inclusive guests tended to dine in the main buffet for obvious reasons. With occupancy being so low the speciality outlets were struggling to appear busy. The main lobby bar lacked atmosphere and only seemed to work up to 11.00PM, again for obvious reasons, it did appear that time, when drinks were no longer all inclusive,and were pretty expensive, there was a general excodus to bed, almost like a curfew. I do think the hotel owners need to address this problem, clients are on holiday after all.

  • Service

    The staff were, with one exception, the restaurant manager who I think would have preferred to have been in uniform, all friendy and could not do enough to help. English was the main language. Room Cleaning services were good. Ludmila on guest relations was extremely friendly and helpful, as were the front of house staff.

  • Sport & Entertainment
    5.0

    Excellent range of swimming pools including a large heated outdoor. Good gymnasium and spa with a swimming pool. The staff here were friendly and helpful. Entertainment was provided by the 'Animation Team', they were good fun and enthusiastic at all times. Amazing what Osiris could turn her hand to, from volleyball on the beach to head turning bellydancing, what a girl!!

    The hotel is one of four located in a purpose built development, each with direct beach access and linked by a paved walkway / jogging track around 2 kms from start to finish. It makes a pleasant pastime to walk the length dropping in at the three other hotels to compare. There is a small purpose built ' village' but this is a bit bit lacklustre, mainly due to lack of tourists at this time. There is a variety of excursions available but we felt that these were generally overpriced.

As a golf hotel, (direct access to the golf course), but the ic taba heights is a ' normal ' all inclusive hotel for swimmers. Great friendly waiters. Somewhat too large for my taste but this is just a personal feeling. German management, which for me as a german in terms of communication, a clear advantage was. If it finally flights to taba airport (40 kilometer) and not more as sharm-el-sheikh (250 kilometer), gives, it is for me and all golfbegeisterten guests a real tip. Improvements are clearly areas 'tables and chairs' (is already in planning) and the ' wireless' ... necessary. Wi-fi work 'free wireless internet' as well as not at all. The paying wi-fi i was' saved ' (in circa 80 Euro the week) Tip: in uptown i in phoneshop a sim card includes 1 gigabyte data volume bought. (4 Euro) the stable, faster, and above all everywhere working. read more

Excellent choice of Hotel at Taba
  • Recommended hotel

  • January 2013
The Intercontinental is a very good choice of hotel at Taba. Taba is a quiet beachside resort with a golfcourse and small shopping areas but one which should provide for all your needs should you need to leave the hotel. The views across thte Gulf of Aqaba to the mountains of Saudi Arabia and Jordan day and night are beautiful and the beach is very good. Snorkelling is limited as waters are very shallow a metre or so but visibilty is good and would recommend a light shoe to avoid cuts and bumps. The hotel has three pools (one heated) ... and the main hotel building is an excellent design with connections to other parts used in busy times, gardens are well maintained and well designed. staff in the main are very good, friendly and helpful although a few exceptions need 'smiling' lessons. If you need assistance Ludmilla and Michaela are on hand in the reception area two very helpful young ladies. Food is good and there is a variety of choice on each day which should mean you should be able to eat differently from the weekly menus as they re-occur. Animation team provide exercise games and entertainment although the hotel could do with investing in some new exercise mats. We will definitely be returning in 2014. read more

    Room just big, very well equipped and great cleanliness. Bathroom estimated about 10 square meter and the room altogether also over 60 a guest had a problem described, there is no toilet brushes. Is true, according to the management of the largest bakterienschleudern and therefore there is no. I can only say the toilet-models remained really nothing to hang!

    In the buffet restaurant great breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very tasty and delicious. For breakfast the chef in the egg station has managed, together with '6' pans omelets, scrambled eggs, fried eggs and so on making facilities. There was hardly any waiting times. And the hit of course the dine-around. Almost 10 restaurants in the resort with overwhelming à la carte restaurant. The best, as we found the bird-nest and el fügo, and lagoon. The gastronomy you could only höchspunktzahl soutenant.

    The service you can only say, it could hardly have been any better. We were very well looked after and like at home felt. My wife has a knoblauchallergie, which in Egypt already caused difficulties, but such a service as in this hotel we have never experienced something like that, not even in other countries. Either the management or the restaurant manager at any mealtime with us rundgegangen and made us all for my wife safe food explained. To the surprise you nearly knoblauchfrei cooked. To the hygiene only as much, we had no complaints whatsoever with digestion, and the in Egypt, what is very rare.

    Taba is although it is very far chipped, very long ride, but will shortly be supposed to the airport from taba to Germany cruise terminals and the absolute gem. An area for relaxing and get away from it all. Less than shopping holiday recommendable. Within the resorts there were free open buses, the one at each point the hotel brings. And with german punctuality.

Altogether it was for me a very nice relaxing vacation. There is a few things the however really is room for improvement. The towels for the pool have their best times behind itself. I have of 6 days at 5 days always a towels with holes Restaurant see the chairs not appetizing. But the most annoyed me, the staff in the restaurant for breakfast the guests with coffee not service. One had either wave or even the coffee get, another possibility there was not. That was every day so. At lunch you had to for my taste much too long ... on the drinks service wait, although not much going on was. The staff at the reception was really very friendly and helpful. I have evenings always the possibility used in other restaurants to eat. Everybody was well, the thai was my personal favorite. The transfer is clearly too long. If the flights to taba go, is the a recommendable hotel. read more

    Flew to sharm el sheikh, unfortunately almost 3 hours shuttle! Taba heights is not a city, but a small area but during the off season very abandoned feel. There, there are the usual souvenirkram. Because it in december already at 16:30 hours dawns, personally i would not alone there again. The shuttle bus (free of charge), haphazard in the circle drive. For 500 meters we just 1 hour! Beach directly at the hotel, 5 minutes on foot to the 'Marriott', 15 minutes to the 'Sofitel'.

In the resort are 5 hotels merged, the shuttle can be driven. You can go shopping, if you have high expectations, will be rather disappointed. We have 2 excursions, it was not envisaged, both were well organized (1 time Petra in Jordan, 1 time Jerusalem).

As german tour operators in taba land, you should make use of the shuttle, an impression of the area to get. The interconti has a very dedicated german management. It in many details positively noticeable. The audience is international and mainly from western europe. The staff are competent, friendly and very personal service. Here everyone was a special guest. The beautiful water must one over stones and there are beach shoes required. However, if you ... about 15 minutes to go, there is a jetty and here you can on reef good for snorkeling. read more

We could not fault the staff they made us feel very relaxed and we found the hotel in a very high standard, as most people visiting Egypt have tummy upsets we never experiences any such trouble and we do feel this is down to the cleaning of the hotel, special the public arises we found the public toilets are always being cleaned, we were very impressed with the outside toilets by the pools that when always being cleaned, that when you know you’re in a well maintained hotel. The New Year’s Eve party it has to be the best with ... attended the origination from the entertainment to ballroom look wonderful and special touches of our good bags, but the food was just amazing it was almost too good to eat the chef and his team really made the night a spectacular, it was a Aladdin’s cave of fine fooand it was nice that the tour representatives that book the trips are visible around the hotel and helpful but nice that they not pasturing you every five minutes to go on the trips, we taken advantage of the spa and found the staff every proficiencies, also we had a morning sailing on hobby cat and the staff at the diving canter are very confident in the ability of informing us the does and don’ts on the water. The only one criticism we only had one week and could of happly had two weeks, when we returne its going to be two weeks. read more
