Weather

Absolutely beautiful with temperatures well into the high 30s when we holiday in the month of September

Holiday

Fantastic, an absolutely stunning 5* star hotel with all the luxuries you can imagine. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff that work tirelessly to ensure you have a truly memorable holiday.
Entertainment in the hotel is very good, but outside of the hotel there is nothing. You would have to go into Hurghada by taxi if you need nightlife, discos, bars etc.
The hotel is suitable for young children up to the age of 10 - any older and the children could become bored. There are no water slides etc at this hotel.

Weather

It was sunny and quite warm (33-35 degrees) although there was quite chilly wind in the sea and the evenings were cool for the Egyptian standards.

The water temperature was 23 - 24 degrees - too cold for longer dives, especially that there were lots of really cold currents under water.

Holiday

Very busy as I went there to dive but also got involved in the social life of my Egyptian dive guide :)

I stayed at Sea Garden hotel - near the new Marina. I chose the same hotel 3 and 1/2 years ago and very little had changed, although the rooms are a bit older now. Otherwise it's the same friendly and smiling personnel, the same view from the balcony and the same cozy little pool.

The food hasn't changed either - which is not a good thing - so I would not recommend eating in the hotel. Unfortunately the Egyptians are trying to cook European food to please the tourists and the attempts are not very successful (in my opinion). The only times when I really enjoyed the hotel food was during the "Egyptian" days - when the hotels serve real Egyptian food.

I'd far rather recommend buying food in any of the very many restaurants around.

The weather was very warm; the sea was lovely and warm too. The evening was cool and I needed a light jacket, but this was in late November.

Holiday

We stayed at the Stella Spa- great hotel: nice pools; staff very helpful; food fantastic, lots of choice.

This hotel is one of the best i have ever stayed at and I have been to Hurghada many times.

Will be returning again this year as the only place to go. It's the best hotel in Hurghada.

Weather

Weather was wonderful all week although a little breezy most days. The sun shone from sunrise to sunset with barely a cloud in the sky all day. There was never a hint of rain,in fact some of the staff who had been there for 6 months said they had yet to see any rain.

Holiday

We stayed at the titanic beach resort and aqua park.The accomodation was first class and the service from the staff was the same.All inclusive was 24 hours which I have never come across before and there was always something edible on the menu and I am quite a fussy eater!
