We have another seven weeks before we travel to CSR. To anyone due to travel soon, hope you have your high factor sun creams. We have been checking the weather forecast for weeks now, and it has been hitting 100 deg.+ for a while now. Today it reached 107 and at midnight Sharm time it was still 91 deg. 8)

We recommend you try snorkelling from the beach. The fish are amazing!
Hope you all have a great time, you'll definately enjoy it! :P

There is also a TV lounge with a HUGE tv screen along the hallway, near the games room, opposite reception. I never went in to watch any games but I seem to remember that they charged a small fee to watch.

There was a massive Union Jack hanging above the doorway when I was there in March.

Purrfect1968,

We are flying out from Manchester 13.55hrs on the 20th August. There's myself, partner and three boys aged 15, 14 and 7. :)
It will be our second visit. We were also there last August. Where will you be flying from? Are your children boys or girls or one of each?

Hi,

We've booked a select room for our holiday and was wondering about the tea and coffee making facilities.
Is it sachets of coffee and is it nescafe :?:
Do you get fresh milk or uht :?:
Read on the HV thread that they had to keep getting it from the restaurant as it was never replenished. Just wondered if it was the same here.
Can you request the mini bar contents to be removed so not to get wrongly charged for items :?:

Thanks in advance.

Hi

We had a select room in October when we went to CSR

You can request the minibar to be emptied which then free's up the fridge for your water etc.

The milk is uht in little tiny pots , we bought milk from the supermarket a 10 min walk away and put into the fridge.

I cant remember if the coffee was nescafe or not it was in little sachets but we did have to keep phoning room service to get replenished, they then brought it to your room for you.
I am taking my own teabags this time and sachets of cappichino's !!

Hope this helps
