I canr eally highly recommend the Kiroseiz Beach resort, it is AI and you can use Kirosiez and St Georges hotel facilites including food. Food at the beach not amazing but we uised to have our main evening meal att he hotel and the selection was out of this world.. All rooms have a sea view, a free shuttle bus between hotels and about 15 mins from Naama Bay, you have fantasia shopiing across the main road from the resort and old sharm is about 10 min away (20 - 30LE in a taxi). We loved it here soo much we are going back for christmas for two weeks!! Great staff, treat you like royalty and cannot do enough, very clean, clean bedding and towels everday, gorgeous beach and the snorkelling is fantastic. We paid on a late deal £329 each, but is have seen cheaper if you can go at the drop of a hat. I have a thread on this resort on HT, if you require anything else, let me know.

We went to the Concorde in Sharm last month. Lots of tour operators don't take bookings from families with kids so you should get the peace and quiet you deserve! See my review if you want more info on the hotel.

Hi Ellieeh :wave

Have a look at the beach at The Conrad Hotel it's beautiful!

I've already booked to return there 30th July next year.

Conrad discussion HERE.

Conrad reviews http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/reviews/egypt/sinai-penninsula-and-red-sea/sharm-el-sheikh/coral-sea-sensatori-hotel/

There weren't a huge number of small kids when we were there but I don't know if there would be at other times.
It's an A/I hotel with a shuttle bus into Naama Bay (and the nightlife) in the evening.

I thought the entertainment was pretty boring, but I've never been a lover of hotel entertainment anyway :wink:

Pippy :D

The Conrad is coming in over £550, the others are in my budget range though. The Kiroseiz Beach resort i am a bit wary of after seeing the pictures on Tripadvisor.co.uk, the bathrooms looked tiny so i don't know what the rooms would be like.....

Is there any sites that offer last minute cheap deals to these places, any sites that people have used or recommended......

Thankyou for all your replies and future replies!

And hello Poppy we must stop meeting like this! :wave

It depends what you want AI or B and B. We have done both, Sharm last year was an all inclusive and to be honest was a bit tiring. We were tied to the hotel as there was no-where to wander to apart from other AI hotels, or a trip to Naama Bay on the bus, and to be honest one trip in the forthnight was enough.

THis year we discovered El GOuna... absolutely brilliant. It is called the fake Egypt but to be honest the only thing we found fake was the 'no hassle' in the shops, no negotiating taxi prices [all £1.50 to anywhere in El GOuna]. It is a smallish resort built in 1997 with lagoons surround the whole area. It is really unique, and the restaurants were absolutely fantastic. More waiters when we went then customers, everything freshly cooked and piping hot and NONE of us suffered phaero's revenge for a change. There was loads to do in the resort, different party nights including the Mangroovy beach party twice a week. It was my oldest daughters first trip to Egypt with us, and she reckons its been her best holiday yet.

We stayed in the Arena Inn [have posted a report on the hotel seperately] which was a brilliant base, cheap and had a pool where you didnt have to get up at 7 to put your towel down - a refreshing change.

The nearest beach was Zeytona, a lovelyair conditioned bus took you there every hour, which was about 5 mins away. It was reached by a bridge, this is an 'island' beach which has lovely rattan like breakers which gave you more privacy... not rows of beds on a beach. You could get towels and beds free with the Arena. It was idylic and had a beach bar which was reasonably priced - chicken mexican wraps with salad and chips for £2 for example.

We have now found our perfect holiday destination, shall definately return there next year.

Hope this helps.

have a look at some of these people for prices. never used any yet but there will be plenty of people on here who have so if you get a good price for whereever you choose of one of them check again. basically you book the flight and accomodation with them or either

http://www.otbeach.com http://www.travelrepublic.co.uk http://www.theholidayplace.co.uk http://www.A1travel.com (these people have been recommended to me by several friends)
there is also another agency called something like "wintersunshine" but i cant seem to find it at the moment. im sure someone else could help me there :D . we are going to try DIY for the first time next easter. so i have booked flights with Excel at a good price now i need to sort out the hotel. and will get a taxi from the airport at sharm :D which is easy as most of the hotel in sharm are only a 10 min or so taxi away :D

Honestly, the Kirosiez beach resort is wonderful, and only for couples or single travellers, so no screaming brats whatsoever!! The hotel was another matter though, the kids there were a pain in the backside and some parents just let them run wild!! Bathrooms are a bit small, but hey, you only shower, wash and toilet, what an earth would you need a big bathroom for?? The way i look at it is i am on holiday, i can ahve all my confort when i come home. all the guests who stayed att he beach were very happy with the rooms and the service, they are spotlessly clean and you get a personal service, and even though the AI was only till midnight, we were still having freebies until 4am!! It is a really romantic place with stunning views, stunning sunrise/sunset views and to top it all, the A1 service, nothing was to much trouble. In fact, some couples moved from the main hotel into the beach resort as they preferred the venue and the service, You also get alot more for AI than you would at the hotel, such as free fruit juice, ice cream, burgers (lush homemade style) and pizza'a, all at the hotel had to pay extra for these things.
I will always defend this place and highly recommend, looking at the other beach hotels in Sharm and speaking to guests, i thought we had the best deal overall.

is the beach resort where the bungalows are. it says that these are 15 mins away from the hotel does that mean you have to make ytour way there for food pools etc is it far to naam bay also is there any night life at the beach resort
Reply
Yes, the bungalows are actually on the beach resort, there is a restaurant overlooking the sea where you can eat all meals, or you can eat at the hotel, up to you. It is around 15 mins to Kirosiez hotel and a free shuttle bus with air con every half hour. It also drops you to Naama Bay which is again 10 mins approx. St Georges hotel is just around the corner and you can also use the facilites there if you want, we hardly ever went to the hotels as enjoyed the peace soo much/
