booked my holiday through hotelandflights.com paid less than £900 for two people all inc 10 nights
Hotel
Arrived on 14th April, what an amazing place, beautiful hotel, looked nicer than plenty of others i passed on the way. only 10 mins from airport which was very conveneint.
The room was lovely, we had our own balcony with a view of the main pool. The rooms were cleaned everyday and we had nice sculptures on the beds made from towels. The cleaner was a great guy too, very friendly. (we also got 2 bottles of water everyday, where as other people in the hotel didn't... This must have been because we were nice to the cleaner, however we didn't tip him until the end).
Pools & Sunbeds
plenty of sunbeds for everyone, the pools were spotless, cleaned for about 5 hours everyday. The kiddies pool was slightly heated.
Beach
see some lovely fish at the end of the jetty, pretty colours, and big in size. Didn't get any mither round pool or beach.
Food
I must say if your not a fussy eater you will be fine here, theres about 8 different meals served each meal time, however if your like me and wont try anything new there was always kiddies corner that had good food to offer. The managers didn't mind that alot of people were getting food from here. They had chips on often, (which was a blessing) cakes and bread were amazing, taste gorgeous too!
There is a Mcdonalds down the road who deliver, reception are happy to ring for you.
Staff
Mahmoud from in the club was a great guy, always went out of his way to do something for you, Ehab (Bob) always had a big smile on his face, very friendly and helpful.
All the staff were amazing and really made my holiday, the animation team were very funny and had a different sho every night.
Went quad biking in the desert - really enjoyed this
If you want to book an excursion, see Seena from the animation team, she had far better prices that the reps.
Shops
Get some quality stuff from the shops, cheap cigs, ornaments, gifts, keyrings, t-shirts, bags, jewellery. the bazar shop even sells pringles, chocolate and sweets.
I would definatley go back here, the hospitality was great, i felt really well looked after and i really hope next time i go the staff are still there.
ONE WARNING
I wouldn't advise hiring a car over there unless you want to die, The rules of driving in Egypt are, 1. Drive as fast as you can 2 undertake or overtake its up to you 3 Pull out on people 4 drive as close as you can to the car in front and the best one beep every 10 seconds (even though there is nothing to beep at!)
The driving is awful, no head lights, 100mph on mobile phone, however our hotel had its contracted taxi drivers, they do charge a little more than the white cabs, but i would advise to pay it. Your much safer in there than the white cabs and the busses.
