Movenpick - Value for Money

Advantages: Views, Snorkelling
Disadvantages: Food

Given the cracking deal I got for two weeks staying at this hotel, I had my doubs about the kind of quality I could expect from this hotel. I was very pleasantly surprised and certainly came away from my holiday feeling I had value for money. The hotel is set in lovely grounds, and is well maintained. My room had a pool/ocean view and I never tired of looking out towards Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The fantastic weather does of course help, but we ...
...a mere five paces from our sunlounger meant that we could literally go snorkelling whenever we liked. It was great. Food is a bit bland, but check out the other three restaurants for more choice. The Hilton is next door and offers a wider selection of shops, bars and a pharmacy if required. ...

Review of Movenpick Resort, Taba

dissapointing summer holiday

Advantages: hot sunny weather, spotlessly clean
Disadvantages: food, entertainment, basic rooms/facilities

We've just come back from a week at this hotel, and I must say it was very disappointing. The rooms were very basic, although they were well cleaned, and in good condition (we were staying in the second block at the back, which I think is relatively new, so it should have been in good condition really). We were half board, and for the first couple of days the food on offer was just about ok, but then we realised there was nothing new on offer, and ...
...only warm, and the best food on offer was the salads. There is also a restaurant, which costs extra to eat in. We went twice, and it was empty apart from us both times. Unfortunately the second time we went, within hours we were ill, and spent the last full day of our holiday in our room unable to move! There was half an hour of entertainment each evening, which itself was good, but it was only 30 minutes, and at half past ten, they start clearing ...

Review of The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort, Marsa Alam

I didn't feel I had paid enough - it was amazing!

Advantages: Many of them, flight not too long, very high quality, great food, great location, fantastic!
Disadvantages: The sun went down a little too early...but you cannot blame the hotel for that!

We went to this hotel in October, the weather was certainly hot enough at that time of year. I had seen pictures on the internet, but know from experience that often pictures can be deceiving! We flew from Manchester, with a flight of just 5 hours, which is long enough to sample the food that the flight had to offer (Mmmmm!) and watch a film. It is not a bad flight time to somewhere that has great weather and fantastic culture. I had been to Egypt ...
...well organized. We seemed to get off the plane on to a coach quite quickly. It was dark by the time be landed, so not realizing that we were travelling through the Sinai Mountains, as I couldn't see them, I presumed the driver was a typical Egyptian not able to keep the vehicle going in a straight line! They are pretty scary on the roads! But on the journey back to the airport two weeks later, realized he had actually done quite well! The Hotel was ...

Review of Hyatt Regency Taba Heights, Taba

Sunrise Royal Makadi Bay,Nr Hurghada Egypt for total relaxation.

Advantages: Complete package to relax. Lovely beach. Clean resort (Makadi)
Disadvantages: No shops to walk around close by.

...decided to stay at the Sunrise Royal Makadi resort at Makadi Bay in October 2009. This resort is situated about 40 minutes drive south of the main town of Hurghada and the airport. The Sunrise Royal Makadi comprises of many blocks of low level buildings spead across a large area divided by swimming pools and gardens. The resort is located right on it's own private beach which has it's own free sunbeds and parasols, also a free bar and a few shops, ...
...pavement bars. All these are located around the macdonalds stop. You can walk from here down to the marina which is beautiful and has many nice shops and bars. I have many photos and videos if you wish to see. I would definately recomend the Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort. ...
