Stayed in the Aqua Blu Sharm last week to have a little mooch and check out for my customers.

Spotless everywhere.

Some of the rooms needed updating as I asked to have a look at a few different ones.

Lots of Russians as usual but the English are now starting to take over in this hotel.

Food ok with an Indian restaurant as well as others.

Lots of slides kids and adults.

Do not go on the green Shrek slide first otherwise you will probably need a few days before you get on another

Aw bless you John, the lengths you go to for ICR

Stayed at Aqua Blu for a week in April with 2 friends and had a great time - my only regret was that I didn't take the kids, cos they'd have loved it

Karen - the room we stayed in was new and spotless, good size too and there was a kids play area on the grass outside. Slightly away from the kids waterpark [only about 200yds] and next to the Indian/CHinese/Med restaurants and also the Italian. Our room was 6127 [1st floor] in one of the blocks opposite reception.
I'd recommend it esp for people with young children and wouldn't hesistate to go back there.
Hope this helps you?

Thanks, besides first choice which other tour operators go to the aqua blue?

thanks for your help

been to the Aqua Blu in November with wife, her brother and his wife
They went to the holiday village last year

their opinion is that the Aqua Blu can't be beaten
for myself I watched and observed a lot of staff behaviour - it's in my opinion the most hygienic hotel we have been to in Sharm

want to go back now just can't afford it this close to our last visit

from my mobile

thanks everyone, think will try the aqua blue

Hi Karen - we booked with Sunshine who came in cheaper than anything else I could find

Hope you get a good deal and am sure you'll have a fantastic time

thanks, will price it up its £1850 for 2 adults a 4 yr old and an infant on 8 th feb with first choice

Sunshine dot co dot uk and Travel Republic both come up cheaper tha TC or FC
