My Family and I stayed from 21/08/2008 to 04/09/2008
Wasps, Wasps, Wasps, but we wasnt sting. Plus we only found out just before we left. (good old Hotel Review), lesson learned.
Upon arrival.
This went fine, and we got a lift up to our room, which was only 269, we consider our selve's to be very lucky, as it really is a steep hill.
Room.
Very nice, clean, air con was fine, sky in both rooms, though our remote didn't work, and the only english speaking program was BBC World News, but hey, your on Holiday, so not a problem.
Food.
This we feel was a bit same old after a few night's. One night they had Mussel's or Rabbit for meat choice. My partner doesn't like Shell Fish, and the thought of eating Bright Eye's made her soul turn cold.
Water Park.
This was very good, and fun. I went down all the water slides, and have never dared before. (I'm 46, and not a good swimmer). Our 10yr old had a great time there too. The only thing was the walk up to the water park. It's passed all the other appartments, but well worth the trip. There's a bar there too so Happy Days.
Entertainment.
We think it was good for the Holiday, after all it's never going to be Caberet is it ?? They tried hard, and worked well together.
I even got involved with some games, which is unlike me, but made people laugh, and at the end of the day are you ever going to see them again ??
Trip.
We did one, it's the Sun Cruise. Very good, but a bit expensive. Also we missed the 5.30pm ferry, and was left to make our own way back to the Hotel, after catching the 6pm one, (10 Euro's extra for a Taxi). I tried to get our money back, but was told basically "Tuff".
Beach.
It was quiet, but the Bar had only soft drinks, so not for the one's who want to drink there money back in Alchol.
The walk to Luxori.
We was told of the 50 minute walk, and thought we would try it late in the afternoon. It starts off ok, but after a while you start to come across some obsticle's, so be warned. We got there safe, but a bit worse for were.
Summary.
As a whole, we think we had a good holiday, as for recommendation, no i'm sorry to say. It would not take alot of money to put in a cable car that runs on a rail of some sort. It's supposed to be a Holiday, not a fitness, training week, and the thought of going there armed with Trainers, and a Fly Swat, scare's me to death.
