Did you go down to the internet/games room past the shops? If you'd carried on past there you'd have come to the gym ;)

Hi folks, as some will know I'm off to the Conrad on the 13th.

Just wondered if anyone has used the foreign exchange desk there and if the service was ok.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Mike

Hi

I haven't but my Mum uses the bank at the Conrad to exchange currency every time she visits so I assume it's fine ;)

Hi Mike
We used this when we were there and no problems at all, There is also a hole in the wall where you can put notes in and it will change them for you.
Hope you enjoy your holiday we certainly did when we were there.

When Coral take over the Conrad I wonder what will happen to the Italian Blu Club?There are no Italians at the Holiday Village and the Coral Sea resort so if it becomes exclusive to First choice it may mean there will be some good deals. :sun2

Hi Mike
The hole in the wall will only take old style 20s - but it is great as you get notes back that are in very good condition :) Reception was fine for changing small amounts or the new 20s

Once again thanks for the info and the pictures, we can't wait for Nov to come now! We have seen on some mail that people have said that the rooms are a little bit dirty and look jaded, can anyone tell us the best rooms to try for and is it worth trying to upgrade our room on arrival. Any pictures of the rooms would be great thanks, roll on Nov 17th !!!!!! :sun2

I've been twice and had the same room both times (3131 looking out over the beach). Yes, it was a bit on the tired side but I can honestly say this did not detract from the enjoyment of the holiday one little bit (I actually requested the same room so it can't have been that bad ;) ).

You'll find my pics of that room HERE. I took detailed pics as I know people like to see rooms :)

Hey Pippy thanks for the pics we really enjoyed looking at them,makes us want to be there now! but we can wait (just!). Do you think that if i e-mail the hotel that i could request a certain room, we are going on a package deal and thought that they may just be kind enough to accomodate us. :cheers

It's worth a try, worked for me! Do mention you're a member of http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk though, it may just help as they are aware how many people read the forum and post reviews when they return from their hols ;)

Just outside the door are steps straight onto the beach.

Pippy and all do you think The Conrad will change much when coral sea resorts take over 1/1/09? I am a little worried about it though, they can`t remove this hotel from a lovely setting!"

Hey Lally,

Can I just clarify, do you mean it will ONLY take old £20 notes, or that it takes all note denominationes, but for £20 they have to be the old style?

If it's the latter, I'll just take it all in £10 notes!

Thanks Garry and Pip too :tup

I don't really know anything about them tbh but I do know the CSR also gets good reviews so if I were you I'd not worry too much.

It is the great beach and snorkelling which appeal to me, the Conrad has (according to people who've stayed in many Sharm hotels) the best beach of almost any hotel in Sharm. Being a relatively old hotel it has the benefit of being built on one of the best plots! Snorkelling the house reef is amazing!

As you say, they can't change the location ;)

Pippy :)
