We were recommended this place by the staff at Movenpick for a relaxing day in beautiful setting. We were not disappointed.

The architect/owner of this modern day castle has created this haven with very clever use of materials. His imagination and vision and very successful use of creativity and innovation is visible in every nook and corner of this place.

We spent the evening in the beautiful fresh water pool lazing on our bean bags watching the sun set over the sea. Laura and Lucy who run this place are wonderfully efficient and friendly. These girls are so lucky to work there - I wish I could swap my job with theirs.

The meal- slow cooked lamb was beautifully done - the flesh came off the bone and simply melted on our mouths. The wine list is impressive. Do check out the surprise - tressure cellar.

We thought the prices were good value. We spent around £80 for few drinks and meal but the experience is second to none.

It took us about 40 minutes to get there from Taba - it was an awesome place, breathtaking views, wonderful service, great amenities and food to die for.

I'd read about it on here (a huge thanks to people who pointed this out) so i went on the website and got the number. When we got there it was also advertised at the hotel so I went to reception to ask if they could arrange it for us. They said it was 75 Euros each, also same price (75 euros) for children and 65 dollars for the taxi.

I rang Castle Zaman myself and it was actually 35 Euros each, kids were free and 25 Euros for the taxi - a huge difference! They only allow kids over 6 in the pool and it does state that it’s not child friendly. Our daughter is 8 and she absolutely loved it, we had to drag her away and she’s still talking about it now.

They have a private beach - which is a bit of a trek, and I wasn't sure whether or not I could be bothered walking down (and more to the point back up) the hill but i'm so glad i did. The snorkelling was better than any of the trips they take you on - the coral is quite a way out (just go straight forward) but it's pretty shallow and then it's just all virgin coral - spectacular! Take your own snorkelling gear though.

It takes 3 hours to cook your food (to die for!) - i knew this in advance so when we booked, we arranged to be picked up at 2 and i asked for the food for 5. I was a bit worried about killing time, but it went far too quickly and if i went again, i'd go earlier and have food later, it was soooo good.

There's also a beautiful infinity pool, they have some pet labradors (proper pets not mangey ones) which just want to play (she asks you if you're ok with dogs before so don't worry if you don't like them) but we had great fun with them, they were diving into the pool with us and just a pleasure to have around. They didn't come out when we were eating so there were no sad doleful eyes watching your every mouthful.

There was a Canadian girl that runs it and an English girl – both provided excellent service. Always there for whatever you needed and really friendly but never in your face. We really wanted to go back, but alas just ran out of time.

It was just a perfect day and i can't recommend it highly enough.

We don't have to say a lot, the other reviewers have already said it.
I have worked as a Senior Officer on reputable Cruises ships for the last 10 years, I have been around and I know good food.

So when I say Castle Zaman is a wonderful and hospitable place it really is. And if you do go for a meal do not have anything to eat before hand - the food is very good and there is lots of it.

Many thanks to Laura and her colleage, our day at the Castle really made my wifes birthday something special.

Before going to stay at Taba Heights did some research on this site. Followed the links to the Castle which looked different and interesting. We decided to book for a meal there and called mid morning and spoke with Laura. She made all the arrangements, including transport.

As we approached from the road to the North we saw what looked like a part ruined castle and drove up the sharp incline. On stepping out of the taxi we walked in and was greated by Laura. She gave us a bit of a run down about the place. Seems it was only completed in 2004, is built to the true style of the period and used only the real types of materials that would have been used.

Perfect location and so well planned and though out. A fantastic achievement to the guy who came up with the concept. When the food came is was a massive amount, far too much. The quality was exceptional and because of the slow cook process used the meat just falls from the bone. While eating you wouldn't be surprised to see a Crusader Knight stepping throught the door after a hard days crusading looknig for a heart meal and flagon of ale.

Would recommend this place for couples but is OK for families but, as they warn, it isn't really child friendly. While they would love to clamber about and explore there is the risk that they might try to do too much !
