Egypt Holidays

BlogI stayed in the Holiday Village Red Sea for two weeks , it was that fantastic i am already booked for Oc  Me and my family flew out of Manchester on a First Choice flight that was perfect, my mother is a very nervous flyer and this is the first time she has ever relaxed on a plane, it was so comfortable and the crew were amazing.  On arrival at the hotel we were greeted by the manager with wine and juice which i thougth was a lovely touch and the check in procedure was so quick even though there were two coach loads of guests arriving at once.We were shown to our rooms and our luggage was brough to us shortly after, the rooms were enourmous and even had lit up walk in wardrobes.  The whole of the holiday village was truly exceptional and the grounds were beautiful, all gardens and flowers.  There were a number of different pools each of which were great and there was always a pool boy around to make sure you could get a sunbed.

The hotel has a policy where if you’re not by your lounger at certain times they are taken off you which is great as it stops people getting up at the crack of dawn to save sunbeds even when they’re out for the day!.  The entertainment team at the Holiday Village Egypt are fantastic and so enthusiastic day and night, childrens club was great and my daughter made many new friends which made the holdiay even more enjoyable for me.  As the hotel was unfaultable most of our time in Egypt was spent here although we did go into Naama Bay one evening.  The journey to Naama was about 30mins by private taxi provided by the hotel and was well worth it.Naama Bay has a buzzing atmosphere and is a great mixture of people from around the world.  There is a vast choice of eateries here ranging from tradtitional Egyption to Hard Rock Cafe and Mc. Donalds.  Make sure you take your purse with you as there are some fabulous bargains to be had, i brought back 5 handbags and an array of gifts for family and friends beacuse the locals were so friendly and i was able to haggle down to unbeleivable prices.  I really can’t wait to get on my holidays to Sharm el Sheikh in 2009 and feel the dazzling sunshine on my skin, swim in the clear waters and soak up the hospitality.  I would deffinately recommend Egypt and the Holiday Village Red Sea to anyone.
