hmm certainly get's good reviews Michelle and seems to be sold by Thomsons . I've never heard of it and checked the map sticky's but nothing . Maybe the Thomson site will have it pinpointed on one of their maps but I suppose you could always do a pm via one of those reviews on TA .theres usually a link at the bottom somewhere to contact the reviewer .I would

But what would sonesta say if they knew their queen was looking elsewhere

OMG that looks lovely Michelle. I think it's your duty to try it out for the good of all of us on HT and report back.

The photos on TA are fantastic.

Arn't you still looking for something next Easter Chris .Could you be swayed from Luxor or that nile cruise check out the sea view from those rooms . One things for sure it couldnt be any closer to the red Sea .Maybe up the other end of naama bay judging by that last picture .

I'm so indecisive Lyn I could be persuaded from anything to anything, just by reading a good review or looking at a few photos

Anyone want to get together a whip round to send the 3 of us off there to check it out . All in the interest of HT of course. We promise to put a comprehensive review in on our return

I don't really know how i came across this hotel, i think it stuck in my mind as i was looking to see what the number 1 hotel was and this was a hotel i hadn't heard before. If it is at number 6 with so few people going, i can only assume it will be one of the top hotels. I looked for next february on going as its mine and Sams wedding anniversary and prices were ridiculously low even compared to my baby at sbr.

I am not deserting sbr lyn but diverting alittle

We are looking forward to going to Goa for the first time next November 2011, so feel its proberly time to spread my wings a little. But felt going to sharm x2 is a little much when i wanted to see different third world countries.

I loved the sea views and it being quiet, thats what drew me for sure. Will have to find a map.

I have contacted people who have been so hopefully a reply will come back.

I still want to do a nile cruise, will wait though till chris goes

I want to go to so many places its ridiculous:)

Michelle you deserve your free upgrades for all the publicity you give them .

Just priced up the stella myself . £834 per adult with first choice for a week over Easter . Not too bad I thought and then realised that was for B&B . It's a bit confusing as in the description it's showing A/I and the description certainly sounds like it but then it only gives you an option for B&B or half board .

I know their water is expensive and you get searched whilst going in....... but we get water from super markets and pop it in the back pack, they think then its full of beachwear lol.

Yes i was confused with bb and hb, not to worried bb would be ok, providing its close to nb to get food

Have yet to find out who else does this hotel, might have known Thomson have got this little scoop !

Many of the bedbookers have it Michelle if you don't mind DIY . If you click on the "price check" facility on TA a fairly good choice comes up .

No i don't mind d.i.y have done this before thanks

I got a response from a user on TA and she said at the end of the taxi cab rank, turn left and walk for about 15 mins to the hotel. I knew it couldnt be right as it would lead the opposite direction. I am going to email the hotel and say i am arriving in November and need a goosey around, some are so full of security you cannot get in.

That sounds a good plan michelle

Michelle
I keep telling you Wikimapia if you get lost

found this place straight away just about the marina at the opposite end of Naama to your normal abode on the cliff top next to the Hallomy

you and your gadgets Gray ..... so if i go to the taxi rank past fridays and all the shishas in the beduin tents its on the left hand side on the peace road? It cant be right as theat leads me backwards to my hotel. Nice to see you hear btw x

Michelle
just go to Wikimapia.org type in the hotel name and it comes straight up

if you come out of YOUR hotel along the beach path to the Helnan Marina then this hotel is just over the top of the cliff at the back of there

Got to come back on here to keep my brain going I'm so bored

Ah yes i know where the Hellnan Marina is from MY hotel

I will type it in as i type, cheers.
