...Grand Sharm
Having decided on a trip to Sharm el Sheikh for the Easter break, the task fell to me to chose a hotel. Because we were going as a family, we wanted something with sufficient activities to keep everyone happy, and it also had to be of a relatively high standard as regards food and cleanliness. Having visited this part of the world on several occasions, I decide on this hotel because I knew it was clean, with lots of facilities, and best of all, children went free.
~~First Impressions~~
After a short transfer of about 20 minutes from the airport, we got the the gates of the hotel, and after the usual showing of ID, we went in. First impressions were good.

...My husband and I have just gotten back from a trip to Las Vegas and chose the MGM hotel to stay at so this forms my review.
The MGM is located right on the strip (Las Vegas Boulevard) right by Tropicana Avenue so fairly near one end of the strip. It is located close to the New York New York hotel and there is actually a walkway which joins the two hotels to give you easy access to both.

When the MGM first opened it had...

...We have just returned from a Week-end in Porto.
We were looking for a Hotel that had good location and some olde world charm, so this one seemed to tick the boxes.
We booked it thru Octopustravel.com for £165 that being for a Double Room with Buffet Breakfast for three nights (About £27 per person per night B&B).
Getting to the Hotel from the Airport can not be easier. You get the Metro from the Airport, you can not get on the wrong one as that is the start of the line, no changes necessary just stay on unti the BOLHAO stop (approx 25 mins) cost 1 Euro 85 Cents (purchase ticket from Tourist Info Booth in arrival hall, or if braver from the Ticket Machines in the Metro (Do have an English Button) for instructions.
At the Bolhao stop come up into the Street Opposite a large Church With Blue Tiles, turn corner about 90 yards...
