Marriott   (5*)

Main restaurant at the Marriott Taba Heights

The Marriott Taba Heights is a firm favourite for many guests and has often achieved the best feedback in the satisfaction surveys. Like the other three main hotels in Taba Heights, the Marriott is set right on its own sandy beach, and indeed one part of this beach is set aside as a quiet area, which some of our customers particularly enjoy.

At the heart of the resort is the huge swimming pool which snakes round past waterfalls, cafes, under bridges, and round by the beach. In the centre is the main pool bar, the Grotto, built like a cave in the rock, and which is also a fabulous place to eat or have drinks after dinner. Here they have occasional shows including belly dancing, music and fine food, and is a great place to smoke the water pipes.

The other main bar is the Regatta Club which has entertainment in the evening but is actually open throughout the day. Some people have remarked that the Marriott is one of the better hotels in Taba Heights for the quality of the evening entertainment and for the atmosphere.

The spa at the Marriott is also one of the best in Taba Heights. It has an Arabian marble steam room, Swedish sauna, and in the centre a bubbling jacuzzi. There is also a gym and relaxation area, plus a wide variety of massages including Thai.

The Resort

• Taba Heights is a magical resort of four main top quality hotels all set along a stretch of golden beach. There is a walking path besides the beach that leads from the Intercontinental at one end to the Hyatt Regency at the other. The resort of Taba Heights actively encourages guests to make use of the speciality restaurants not just in your own hotel, but also in other hotels in Taba Heights through the dine around program, where you will still receive a credit towards a meal even if taken in another hotel.
• The Golf Course that seemed to take so long to finish is now complete, and it must be in one of the most spectacular locations anywhere. One side is the mountains of Sinai and on the other is the calmness of the Red Sea. There are 18 holes of championship golf plus there is also a driving range and short game area, and the course is open 365 days of the year.
• The village of Taba Heights is definitely worth a visit - there are cafes, souvenir shops and plenty of options to but silks, scarves, rugs, jewellery, wall-hangings and handmade crafts. Also there are a number of restaurants run by the hotels themselves here. We were lucky enough to dine at the El Fuego restaurant which is run by the Marriott Hotel and has a Mexican flavour. It made a great change from the in-hotel restaurants. There are others such as the Pub Tandoori (Indian), and the Flying Carpet (bar and restaurant). Other shops here sell lighting, crystal, wood, perfume, art, kids stuff, oriental spices, and silver. There is also a hairdresser, chemist, internet cafe and the downtown tower for great views across the Red Sea. Despite a great setting, in reality though the village is never terribly busy - to get to it, you jump on the FREE shuttle that runs every half hour until 10pm from your hotel, and takes about 5 minutes
