Sorry if my honest opinion regarding not being able to get a sunbed after 7.30AM upset you; around 9 in the morning, blistering heat, and nowhere to sit in the shade is not appealing to us. However, looking at recent posts things have changed now I am pleased to see.

I am sorry but if I cannot get a sunbed I don't see why I cannot complain :roll: I have a 3 yr old son and I do not want him to have to sit on the floor and have nowhere to relax!

Ok if it was just me and my hubbie fair enough!

just over 4 weeks to go now,sunbeds are the same everywhere i have ever been,if people dont show up for a while take their towels and put them to one side,or ask the towel boys to reserve you a couple of beds, i find treating them in advance does the trick,after all they rely on a little extra to make it a better life for themselves,and as its A/I a couple of quid a week per adult should do the trick and wont break the bank

Do you mean that if you tip generously that the pool boys will save you beds by the pool also??

well i guess it may be different whatever hotel or resort you go to,but from what ive read about egypt yes they will save you a bed by the pool,of course you have to be there before they pull the towels off but 9 oclock would be fine,so gives you a little time for breakfast without rushing about,but i may be wrong but would think thats the best bet

I know what you mean. I would be refering specificly to the CSR

Hi Nia
How did you find the select room??

Just booked last minute for this hotel on the 14th of June for 7 nights. Hopefully the HV bunch will be in their resort by then.

Can anyone tell me if there is an ATM on site, or is is still better to take TC's.

Also do we still not need a visa if intending to stay in and around Sharm.

Any other recent advice as well please

Hi folks and thank you.

Padraig murphy - Select room well worth doing they change your sheets every day and come and check 3 times a day to see if your happy with things and to tidy up!!! The tea and coffee making facilities great and always re-stocked.

Will post a review a little later on. Hi Blackfox how are you doing? Excellent snorkelling wasn't it!

Vert good Nia, It really puts the longing into overdrive !!! Just a quick question on the select rooms if you dont mind ....... The information i got was that the sun shines onto the balconies of the rooms to the left as you look at the sea longer than the other side . In your opinion is the shade a welcome relief later in the day or is the heat bearable on the balconies that receive the sunshine/

Thank You

there is a cash machine in reception ,and there is a bank by the dine around for changing t/c's open 11.30 till 2 every day ,you get a better rate from the bank than from the reception .the heat is bearable as there is a almost constant breeze but saying that the temp does not drop much at night at all ,the dreaded mosquitoes have been a pain for the last couple of weeks seeming to like some people more than others ,my wife was covered in bites but i only had one ,in the end she needed a injection from the on site doctor to cure them and it worked straight away but cost 35 quid .
