I stayed at the Holiday Inn about 4 years ago - it was excellent, and we got a very good HB deal. A colleague has visited twice since and reports it's still good. Not much entertainment at the hotel when I was there, but the food and service were good, the pools excellent, and the snorkelling great.

Thank You mdoyle I would appreciate that!

At the moment we like the look of the Tropicana Grand Oasis! Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

So when you looking at visiting then Lou?

We are looking to visit end of Aug! We visited this time last year and the weather was brilliant
Just spoken to the other half and he has now seen Makadi Bay which has taken his fancy..! Does anyone know which of these would be better to visit?

just wondering if there will be stuff for two children aged 13/15 to do . lookin at going in july to savita resort . any info much appreciated.

We went last April with 2 daughters aged 13 and 15. Youngest dived with her dad and eldest and I snorkelled. They both loved it, a few shops, toilets, cafe and fantastic sea..depends what they like! It was the highlight of our holiday as we saw a Napoleon Wrasse catch a Lion Fish, fantastic! But not a place for night life..need to go to Naama Bay for that! !

Having stayed at both HSB and the Concorde I would go back to the Concorde but probably not the Hilton. The main reasons being there is more room on the beach and the service is better. I would echo a previous comment and ensure you are booked into the main hotel.

On both occasions when we have walked around the Tropicana we felt it looked shabby compared to the HSB and Concorde. Cannot comment on other factors like the food though.

Just come back from a weeks holiday at the Sol Sharm Hotel. OK for a 4 star hotel. Spent most of the time around the hotel pool. Not much of a beach. Although the divers said it was a good site. No shops etc.
