Nixon4444..... we are planing in taking £500 for 2 weeks 2 adults & 3 children, not planning on doing any trips, we took £500 last year to the hv in turkey and came back with over £100 :tup oh and I have a bag with 50 £ coins in lol.

Right started packing the cases, getting bits together! has anyone used the once a day suncream ( for me not the kids ) is it ok? I dont burn easily but have been watching the weather and boy it looks sooo good ! :sun2
I tried to upgrade to swim-up rooms last week and it seems my email was wrong :( I will have to wait till 3 days before !
Been reading a few reviews and I'm a bit worried about the beds etc, will the kids get camp beds no matter what room we stay in ? we will need to rooms interconnecting and I really like the look of the swim-ups but if they will be camp beds for the kids I would rather a differnt room type! can anyone who has been let me know what beds there kids got lol.

looks like the rest of the reviews are mostly good! soo jealous of all you guys leaving this week! will try not to wish your hols away to much !!

17 days to go!

Hi

We had a swim up room, It had a massive king size bed and a camp bed for our daughter, these are metal frames with big comfy mattresses on them (like off a proper bed) they are not the little thin things you get in some hotels. The kingsize beds are very hard the camp type bed was really nice. Don`t worry. I think unless you have a kids den then the beds they add to the rooms for children are mostly this type.

Hi Paul H, I sent this e-mail asking about the rooms : We have a holiday booked to your hotel from the 18th sept
for 2 weeks, as there are 2 adults and 3 children we have
booked interconnecting rooms. Whilst we are on our holiday
we will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary (26th
sept), Is it possible for us to upgrade our room to the
swim-up if you have interconnecting ones and depending on
the age resrictions, also is it possible to have flowers
and chocolates in our room on the day itself ? I think it
would be nice to mark the day with a few special treats!
and to surprise my husband ! could you let me know the
cost of any upgrade.I look forward to hearing from you
soon.

ÔßÃ'ðÇ
(I hope I got that right)
Thank you

This is the reply! :First I would like to thank you for choosing our Holiday Village for your
holiday destination.

Concerning your request below please note that now is too early for us to
confirm such requests as we do have a fixed number of the swim up rooms and
all of them are within First choice allocation so if you do need any upgrade
you have to contact us maximum 3 days prior to the arrival date.

For the Swim up rooms, Please note that the age restriction had been lifted
and the upgrade charge is US $ 30 Per room per night.

If you decided not to get the swim up room and want to be given a standard
rooms, please contact us two weeks prior to the arrival date and we will be
more than welcome to accommodate you in the best available rooms.

For the Flowers and Chocolate, you can contact our Guest relation while you
are on board and she will arrange every thing. For the flowers it will cost
200 LE (GBP 20) and a home made chocolate and wedding tart will be free as
compliment from the hotel for this special day.

If you still have any inquires please feel free to contact us.

Waiting to welcome you soon.

Thank You
The Hotel Management

I sent this back !! LOL ... Good evening all,
Thank you for your reply to my first e-mail. The e-mail
answered most of my requests and look forward to
contacting you shortly to book swim up rooms if
available. You did not confirm if the swim up rooms were
interconnecting or not?? this is a must for us as the
childern are to young to be in a different room.
Thank you for your gift of a chocolate tart to help us celebrate our
special day.

look forward to hearing from you soon,

and the reply was !!! .....Good morning Sir.
Yes, we do have interconnecting rooms.

Thank you
The Hotel Management

:D :D :D

Yes they do have connecting swim up rooms, we were in block 8 and there was a door in our room that if opened (it was locked)would have connected us to the room next door (think they had a door as well).
