Gordonb Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 24 might not even be excessive, given the size of some of those hotels. Have to agree, just booked a hols and upgraded at time of booking. Been charged £33 per person per night. Read trip advisor and a recent guest said do it at the hotel and it will be about 28 euros thus saving abot £8 per night per person. Soon mounts up.

Cyclone Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 depends if you like swimming or not I do, but I can only use one pool at a time. I suppose if the hotel was really humongous then multiple pools might be needed, but I struggle to see it honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Does an excessive amount of swimming pools make for a good holiday? I was using it to show how large the resort actually is. Each one is spread out, has its own snack bar/swim up pool and one is even a water park. So for a family wanting to stay within the resort, i'd say it was probably a good way to ensure a good holiday, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Going abroad and then staying with the resort sounds like a terrible way to spend a holiday IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamrocker Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Egypt usually have huge complexes for hotels (usually because there isn't much else there). I've been twice now and wouldn't really recommend Hurghada, but can strongly recommend the Reef Oasis Beach Resort in Sharm El Sheikh. 24 swimming pools...need I say more! Cant understand why you prefer Sharm to Hurghada the former is a commercialised tourist center with no sign of the real Egypt..Skegness with sun,Hurghada is not as commercial and while its gradually getting that way at least it still has areas of old culture..still I suppose you have to weigh up the reasons for going away...chav holiday...Sharm....want to see a little of the real Egypt ...Hurghada ...There always Luxor ..now that is real Egypt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why I am having to defend myself, I work hard for my money and will spend it how I please. I personally preferred Sharm because there was a bit more too it - whereas like you say, Hurgharda is still pretty undeveloped, and to me it wasn't in a "real-egypt" type way.

mike67 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 We've got an all inclusive deal in Morocco booked - a bit of culture for the adults and a pool and tennis courts, games room etc for the boys! Going in a few weeks so will let you know wat it's like when we're back if you haven't booked something already! I've heard Egypt is a good all inclusive destination too if you don't intend on going out and about much - just getting some sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garygreen Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 US is the best place to visit in my point of view. For an enjoying journey I suggest you to book a resort near a beach which*has*all the*facilities*from pool*to*massage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will make that 3 of us that cant see the attraction of all inclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
