my first post over here on the Egypt forum
I am looking at going to the Maritim Jolie Ville and Golf Resort next month with my son who is 9. We haven't been to Egypt before but I have been checking out lots of hotels that would meet our needs in terms of pools, facilities but also the one that swung this one was for the golf as my son plays.
On looking at prices there is a HUGE different between B&B and AI, AI prices are coming in at around £2700 for us both (I have to pay adult price for him) whereas B&B is coming in at £1400. Half board is coming in atr around £1900
Now, DS is incredibly fussy eater (no veg , no salads, little meat etc) so I know that AI he wouldn't get the benefit from AI to be honest. But, I have NO idea of prices in egypt and also how close this hotel is to alternative places to eat . . .quite happy to go out and about from the hotel, but unsure what is close by and don't overly want to rely on taxis just to go out and eat.
So, I would say that £1300 extra for AI we wouldn't spend that much on food and drink over 2 weeks . . .or would we if we had to pay to taxi etc to get something to eat and then had to buy drinks, snacks etc. We dont tend to do breakfast much on holiday come to think of it either, on our last holiday of this sort we made breakfast twice in 2 weeks
I really have NO idea about whats close to this hotel, and hadn't considered egypt so have no idea about prices etc or what is around and about . . .I had a look at one of the maps on the link on the top of this forum and there seems to be pizza places etc and a couple of pub type places . . .am wondering whether B&B would be the way to go . . .
Can anyone help? I havent booked yet, but we are looking to go on 9th or 10th August and I wonder if the prices will drop as we get closer . . .
I've checked out loads of places for prices etc but if anyone has any hidden gems of ideas for me to look at it would be most appreciated
Many thanks
