Well, it was my honeymoon. And we went in Mid August when it's at it's most expensive, plus we got all the extras and so on. Inside the resort though was amazing. Really nice! Great beaches, diving, pools, food, nightlife.....
Outisde the resort was hopeless though....
Anyways, I'm glad you had a good time. Any pics of your resort? I'll go find mine.
We usually go in August, this year was a bit different as our Honeymoon is in September, on our first anniversary.
We've had some good luck with rooms too. This year we were expecting a twin room, sharing with Rosie, so all prepared for no fucking for the week, but we ended up with a family room, so our room had an EPIC huge bed and a door.
A few years ago in Marsa Alam, we booked a 'Royal Suite', was one of only 8 on the whole resort, they were basically villa's with rooms and a balcony with a jacuzzi on it (although there was a Scorpion in the Jacuzzi one morning!!).
We went to Taba quite a few years ago and moaned about our shit room, which was in the arse-end of the complex and got moved to the only room they had left, which was the Executive Suite. There were only 2 of those, Pool View (the General Manager was in there) and ours which was Sea View. Was 2 levels and something like £1500 per night!!
Of the 5 times we've been, we've barely ever left the hotel. Sounds boring, but when you get a great hotel its OK. Plus we wouldn't go there for more than a week, I don't think I could stand 2 weeks there to be honest.
