Novotel Twin Waters Resort, Mudjimba

Advantages: Central
Disadvantages: Parking the car on site was extra

...size and comprised a queen sized double bed and a large sturdy double sofa bed for the children which they found comfortable. A television with a welcome screen and various extra channels such as Sky news, plus the usual terrestrial ones was included. A modem plug was there plus a table that would swing out to become a desk meaning that for those on business a lap top could be used comfortably. The very nice en suite bathroom had a very clever internal door that could make the toilet separate to the bathroom if you wished. That is very useful if four of you are sharing and this seems to be a feature of Novotel bathrooms. There were nice white fluffy towels and hotel size shower gel, shampoo, soap and a shower cap included. Plenty of hot water and a decent shower over the bath. Well lit, plenty of mirrors and piped television from... Read review

Advantages: Clean, decent rates, nice hotel
Disadvantages: Far from the station (but easy to get a bus)

...in advance on the internet so it was a simple matter of handing over my credit card and we were checked in. Novotel also supports Asia Miles frequent flyer (or sleeper in this case) program so I gave them my Asia Miles card on check in as well. Novotel has their own privilege program "Accor favourite guest" for the frequent Novoteller. The hotel has 28 stories but we were not even half way up on the 12th floor. We had a nice view of some, err, other buildings. Since I was staying with my brother we opted for a twin room. The room had, obviously, two beds! A desk with a chair, TV, table, bedside table, tea and coffee and a cupboard with a safe inside. On top of the safe were some slippers. They were just ordinary hotel one use slippers, and therefore not valuable enough to put IN the safe, but i suspect they wanted them near... Read review

Advantages: A peaceful desert Oasis (Not the band silly!)
Disadvantages: Very, very, very, very expensive!

...back and relax all on your own, free from the burdens of society. However, unless you are super duper rich, it's unlikely you will be able to afford any longer than a week (or even a couple of days), as it is very expensive. There are four categories of suite, namely; * Bedouin Suite Double OR Twin - maximum occupancy 2 people = £700-£750 per suit, per night - Yes folks, that is a per night cost! (There are 37 of these suites, scattered throughout the resort) * Royal Suite - max of 4 people = £2,100-£2,200 per suite, per night - Seriously, I'm not joking !! (There are 2 of these suites) * Emirates Suite - max of 6 people = £2,800-£3,000 per suite, per night - People really do pay this kind of money ... I have just, out of interest, checked availability for next week and it's unavailable, which is often the case, because many... Read review
