We really did book last minute, booked on the Wednesday and flew out on the friday with Red Sea Holidays. My partner and I have had a really difficult 12 months with business and family issues and just wanted a two week chill hassle free which is exactly what we got. We did loads of research before we went and... more

We wanted a cheap week away where the sun was guaranteed, so Egypt was the obvious answer. We didn't mind going to Sharm or Hurghada and ended up booking last minute for the Grand Makadi. ROOMS - were comfortable but nothing to shout home about. The bed was huge, the balcony was nice and looked over the pool etc. Everything... more

Don't forget your snorkeling kit. Coral reef in front of the hotel is excellent. Be ready to discuss all prices. Make time for extra polite talk with hotel staff. more

Read a lot of reviews before we left so we knew what to expect. What I can add to previous reviews are; We were all well and didn´t have any stomach problems.

No face towels and horrible toiletries. First day ripped a huge hole in my leg while diving and daughter got stung and as... more

We were upgraded to this hotel when we arrived in Egypt for no extra charge, we were due to stay in the Shedwan Garden Hotel. The hotel itself was very nice, whether it should be considered a 5 star is up to your own judgement, I believe it was more like a 4 star. The rooms were very big and... more
