| Sonesta Beach Resort     
In the past, Taba was the rest town for traders using the caravan & hitting the port of Aqaba situated at the northern-edge of the Gulf of Aqaba. The resort is overlooking the Red Sea and South Sinai’s desert and mountains and is directly located on the Gulf of Aquaba between Egypt, Jordan and Israel. It is a modern three-story resort overlooking the magnificent Red Sea, surrounded by green landscape and a pool area, a spectacular setting on the Red Sea with a private 200-meter sandy beach. Just a 60 km drive from Taba International Airport, 48 km from Eilat, 160 km from Sharm El Sheikh and 430 km from Cairo.

The rooms were clean and of a good size. There was a small fridge, TV with poor reception, hair dryer, shower over bath. The hotel sold bottles of soft drinks and water for around £1. There were a few shops onsite selling chocolate and crisps (over priced... read more

On entering the hotel, it is very grand and clean, and the staff are really nice and helpful.
The rooms were grubby, not really what I had in mind for a 4 star resort.
The weather was fantastic, but you would have to get up at least 6am... read more

We went to Sonesta Beach resort for our honeymoon, although they knew this there weren’t any special niceties in our room that we were told to expect. Although we really enjoyed the holiday itself, we were misguided and we weren't told about the dangers ... read more

We were impressed by how lovely and quiet it was, the beautiful gardens and mountains, how helpful the staff were (never knew you could do so much with towels) and the glorious cakes.
On the downside, the bath had mould around it, the heated... read more

Very clean hotel. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Would recommend sunbathing on the beach rather than round the pool if you don't care for loud music all day!
If you want nightlife this is not the hotel to go to (we didn't... read more
