Why is it that people book the Hilton and expect "the tops" because of the name. Yes I know people will think "oh, Hilton that must be good" but you get what you pay for.

20th May - 30th May B&B Hilton Docklands London -

£2675.00

20th May - 30th May B&B Hilton Abu Dhabi - £1681.92

20th May - 30th May AI Hilton Sharks Bay - £222.00

And I will be at the bottom one knowing that it is not going to be like the top one!!

Hi Norwich, where did you get that price from? Sounds too good to be true.

My thoughts exactly! Im going in July and really looking forward to it...I didnt pay for the best food or the best rooms or the best anything so I dont expect it. It gets so tiresome when reading people moan about things that are in the brochure e.g. paying a local charge for the bus into sharm, room not having a bath etc. People need to start reading the information in the travel brochures and if they are not happy with it...dont book it!

sorry, rant over!

Hello Madmol

What one? The Hilton Sharks Bay and Abu Dhabi were quoted without flights just to get the point over about the hotel prices.

Ditto Anna,

Its also what YOU make of it can't people put up without a bath for TWO WEEKS and if you have to have a bath for medical reasons you check first. And yes medicines will be dear over there, so what if there aren't any prices on!!!! Some guy wrote the Hilton wasn't a patch on the Four Seasons Sharm......have you seen the price of it?

Also as said in the forum it's the state of mind you are in, your kids misbehaving, arguments with partner........ oh I could go on

I meant Sharks Bay hotel.Seems cheap but then when you get airfares on top is it really much cheaper than a package. We have been there for the last 3 years in February and can't fault it at all. Its a nice clean ,friendly hotel with lovely cheerful staff. We found Portland were the cheapest package then , although we have been with other companies before then.

I'm sure you will have a lovely time!
