Hotel/Resort Egypt - any Recommendations?
Hotel/Resort Egypt - any Recommendations?
Hi
Looking for recommendations if anyone has any. Looking to totally chill out so need good facilities and a hotel that has a good AI deal, i.e. not one of these hotels that doesn't really include everything.
It's not a sightseeing hol though, our batteries are totally drained, so no need to consider sights...

hi last easter we stayed at the red sea holliday village and would highly recommend it. has loads of pools , swim up rooms and you can also have a jaquzi on your balconey. has 4 restaurants , indian,chinese,italian and international.a;so a fish restaraunt but you pay for that. has swinging beds on the beach. we loved it and is great if you have children. and yes its AI and everything is all in.

Please help. The money will go to a good cause. email me for the link to my fundraising page.
Um, I hate to point out that Petra is in Jordan, Gill, and it's a fair old swim from Egypt.
It is an awesome place though - I visited in March this year.
I wasn't overly impressed with Sharm El Sheik - it is a purpose built tourist resort with not a lot to go and see - but it does have plenty of sun, a beach and restaurants. The 3D planet exhibition was quite good, but not quite the same as the trip to St. Catherine's Monastery that we were supposed to be doing but didn't have time.
Cairo is certainly not the place to go if you want relaxation.
Afraid I can't recommend a hotel as I we went on a cruise ship.
Cheers R.

If you just want to relax, i did a nile cruise about 5 years ago. form Luxor to Aswan and back. All inclusive, flights accomodation food and even drink !
you dont have to get of the boat/ship to do the excursions, just stay on it, plenty to do, burn in the sun, drink alcohol, jacuzzi/pool etc. very good. and entertainment on the cruise in the evenings
top value for money, some of the trips are very cheap and worthwhile

Still modifying
'Tis true - Egypt, Israel and Jordan all come together there. We were marooned in Aqaba docks for the first three days of the cruise due to storms in the Red Sea area. I was still a couple of hours on a coach to Petra from Aqaba, but well worth it.justgilly wrote:Well, Rob, Petra is of course in Jordan BUT it's only a short boat trip from Taba Heights across the Gulf of Aqaba!

I know its only half board but you can sign things to your room and card it at the end. You can also eat at the resturants of the other resort hotels - about 6 in total, and at a considerable discount. There's even a free shuttle bus to ferry you around. Have stayed here on 3 occasions and can thoroughly recommend it ...

Hi Guys... been off line for a week so sorry for delay....
thank you so much for all your replies and suggestions, they have all gone into the "suggestion bank", trawling through web sites and review sites, not used to this... used to throwing luggage in Zippy and letting the wind blow us around Europe ... other half wants a chill holiday so no Zippy hol this year ....
Once again.... thanks

If you want cheese and a fully modern holiday (which looks like it could be anywhere in the world - then sharm el shake SP?) If you want something relaxing and mellow.... think a bit like Thailand, then Dahab on the red sea. Excellend diving, go into the dunes for quad biking etc, good prices on food and they are BYOB making the night cheaper again.....all the restraunts are along the waters edge and are not pushy chains trying to get you to eat and leave like sharm....
If you have not been before though, then a package from Cairo to Aswan way on a river boat down the Nile is the way to go for sure!!

Well what can I say... I so appreciated all the good suggestions from you guys and they are all "stored" for another time.
However we're going chilling in Rhodes, nice quiet resort with (hopefully) only the sound of lapping waves and the clinking of glasses.
I do appreciate all your suggestions though and we will visit Egypt soon.
