Third floor? Do you mean the roof? There was only ground, first and second when I was last there :)

I can't wait... Only five and a half weeks to go... Its been so long coming... :cry:

It's the US way of numbering floors, 1, 2, 3.
For example, room 3317 is number 17 on the top, third, or as some would say, second floor of building 3 - actually it's the room where the air cooling was playing up last week, so we moved to 3116 on the ground (aka first) floor... :P

The balcony of these third floor rooms have excellent views of the hotel grounds, mountains and sea - provided the room number is about 14 (ie 3314) or higher, otherwise it would be a bit difficult to see the sea. From the rear entrance door you can see the sand plain on which Nuweiba is built with the Swisscare hotel about a mile away but easily located by the presence of a very tall (plastic) palm tree - I think it's a radio mast in real life.

Don t be so silly Alan... who would want to place one here in Nuweiba...

Who would need high powered binoculars and a 'Magic Tree' - rumours abound about the secret role of a certain 'hotel owner' in South Sinai...

Earlier this year, in September (17th)... Leave on the 1st October, the day before my birthday...

Glad Syed is still there... Must congratulate him on being a maried man...

And does Russel still ask people for copies of The Times and Telegraph on the bus/in the welcome meetings? Thinking of buying a couple of days worth to take...
Reply
My newspapers never get as far as Russell - Charlie takes them at the airport...

No idea whether Russell asks for them at the welcome meetings - after a mere 5 visits we've already given up going. Haven't had him escort our bus either...

PS - if you fill in the Sudoku in pencil he can rub it out and try again :idea:

On Thursday it had been taken out of the box and connected up. Whether there's any money in it yet, I don't know. The screen was on but the front was open.

fly out on 28/9

is it time to ask for a specific room yet do you think? (3rd floor, 3rd block seems to be the best from what folks say) or is it a bit too early yet....
Reply
Well, I arrive 17/9 and mine is booked 8)

Anyone know what time the Longwood coach picks you up for the return flight home to Manchester on Mondays.

Is the restaurant open late on Mondays for the incoming guests.

Dazer,
Can't comment on the departure times for the Manchester flight but one thing you can be sure of is that they will make sure you have a meal on arrival.. We have arrived late on Gatwick flights before and the restaurant has been kept open specially. You will be amazed at how far the Coral goes to ensure your enjoyment.
Have a great time!
