Hi Briar
Sorry to go but is there anything in Sharks Bay? i thought it was just where the Hilton Hotel was. Is there bars and restaraunts there?
So could you go there some nights instead of Naama? obviously just not as busy?

Hi All
Sorry!!
We all make spelling mistakes...
On the advice of some people staying at our hotel, Ocean Bay, we went to Sharks Bay for the day. We got a taxi from the taxi rank, agreed a price of 100 EL (£10) for the taxi to take us to Sharks Bay and pick us up at 3.30PM. We paid the driver when he returned for us so we were sure he would turn up - apparently this is the normal thing.
Having dropped us of after a 10 min taxi ride we paid 30EL (£3)to get onto the beach and another 150EL (£1.50) for sunbeds. The beach was lovely, not crowded and very quiet. The snorkeling was amazing and only 20mtr from the beach were huge reefs. There were several bars and restaurants on the beach very reasonable priced, toilets & shower facilities at no extra cost.
This was well worth a visit and had we found it sooner we would have gone back another day.
Many thanks, SB xxx
The fish are amazing!!! My husband snorkels & dives - he spent the whole time snorkeling. I am not into it so much but went a couple of times and yes it was truly amazing. We talked to people in our hotel who were really into Scuba diving and had been all over the world including the Maldives and said that this place was the best of the lot. You don't have to dive because there is so much you can see just by snorkeling. I would suggest that you take some of those rubber shoes to wear in the water though as the coral can be very vicious on the feet!!
sunbeds 150el =1.50 pence ,how was your journey in one of the blue flying coffins?????????????????
We stayed at the CSR last year and it was great! This year we want to stay in Sharks Bay, can anyone recommend hotels in this area apart from the obvious (Hilton Sharks Bay).
Thanks
Lou
How about the Tropicana Grand Oasis?
Were going to be staying at the Tropicana Grand Oasis. It seems to have some good reviews.
When we stayed at CSR we went on the Garden Reef Tour and the first place we stopped at had a lovely hotel which was on the cliff side where you could walk straight into the sea.. Does anyone know which hotel this was or which area this is?
Thanks
Lucy
next door to HSB is the concorde el salem. Couldnt tell you anything about it but most of the reviews look good ,looks nice and there seems to be more entertainment there in the eveniung than HSB. from what we heard anyway .next one along i think is the savoy. tropicana must be in the next bay round
Although the hotel was nearly fully booked both times as it is spread out in sections it never felt busy, obviously during the evening when you went for your evening meal it was busy, however the waiters were always willing to find you a table, if they hadn't saved you one already.
lynwestie could you let me know what the HSB is? Is this the hotel on Garden Reef's first stop? Or another hotel which you would recommend?
HSB - sorry Hilton Sharks Bay. I was being lazy
DOH!!! Need to wake up this afternoon....
