Radisson Blu Resort, Taba
Radisson Blu Resort (formally Radisson SAS Resort) you will experience a relaxing holiday with the warmth of true Egyptian hospitality.

We returned to the Radisson after enjoying a holiday there 3 years ago. We went again with Longwood as we had a good holiday with them previously.
The hotel is beautiful - comfortable large rooms with all amenities, including a safe (free of charge). it is very clean and the staff are friendly, efficient and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is also good. lots of choice to suit everyone.
The hotel is set in picturesque gardens. the setting is wonderful with the mountains behind and the Red Sea in front. you can see right across to Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
The beach is manmade but very clean with plenty of sunbeds and shade. The snorkelling is fantastic and you definitely cant get better weather.
BUT!!!
When we were there this time, guests from neighbouring countries were having their break too. Now, we always look forward to meeting new people but it was impossible. They were actually hostile, aggressive and rude, not only to the other guests but to the hotel staff also. The hotel had many complaints whilst we were there. The common areas were very very noisy of an evening and it was impossible to have a quiet drink and chat anywhere. We actually spent a lot of time in our room after dinner a (new experience for us).
The pool area was very noisy also with extremely loud music, which you couldn't even escape from on the beach. These guests were letting the children use the pool as a toilet!!! and it had to be shut several times because of this...the Management did try to sort the problems out by opening the Al a Carte Restaurant for our mealtimes, to enable others to eat in peace, which we appreciated. I could go on and on. All I would suggest is that if you want a quiet, relaxing holiday away from it all (this hotel is isolated) then maybe this is the place for you BUT DON'T go in July/August. We had been at the end of September before and it was perfect.
