I really enjoyed my vacation at this hotel, every thing was great.
I went there 5 years ago (2003), The food in the hotel was very good and very well served, All the people there were very kind and lovely, The rooms were very clean, the bathrooms were a little bit small but will all the essentials.
The swimming pools were heated (due to the cold weather in the winter), there is a good gym there, Drinks were very good but a little bit expensive.
There are also a lot of activities you can do there like diving, snorkeling, banana boat (it was fantastic), going on safari trips (which is riding the beach buggy in the desert), going to the beach which was very beautiful, go shopping inside the resort.
If someone asks me would you go there again, my answer is : definitely! Without a doubt.

This resort is located in the city center of Aswan. It is a short drive away from the Philae Temple. It is a 5 stars hotel but unfortunately I didn’t feel that. when I arrived to the resort it seemed pleasant and the reception was quite good, I booked a small room B&B and then all bad things starts to appear from there. The swimming pool, well what can I say, was dirty, The food was not very good. The weather in Aswan was very hot and I didn’t feel with the air condition working well, and the bedroom was clean but was not comfortable at all (I don’t know why?).
Finally, I got displeased with this hotel and would recommend that anyone intending to stay in Aswan to consider other options.

Conrad Cairo is located by the Nile River in the midst of Cairo. The hotel contains a heated, Nile-view swimming pool, 5 executive levels and executive lounge and shopping arcade. Wireless high-speed broadband connection is available all around the hotel.
I met a friend who stayed in it before and admit that it is certainly one of the best hotels you’ll find in Cairo. The thing which sets this hotel from the rest is typically it’s location and the wonderful view of the Nile river. He also told me that the rooms were very comfortable and have a mini bar, All the food served in the restaurant was very well cooked and very delicious.
My friend really enjoyed his stay in the hotel and recommending anyone visiting Cairo to stay in this hotel.

what a great hotel, I really enjoyed my stay in Sultan Gardens Resort Hotel which is located just 3 miles from the airport and a short distance from the main resort in Naama Bay, I spent there 1 week; 2 years ago (at Christmas), the weather is good at that time of the year, the hotel is beautiful, the hotel stuff were very friendly, The pools were huge and well maintained, The Golden club disco in the hotel is great fun. The rooms were very nice - very large and extremely well maintained, If you can manage to rise early enough, the view of the sunrise is quite incredible.
Regarding to the restaurant in the hotel and food was delicious and and the restaurant offers Fantastic choice of foods at every meal time.
Finally it was a great holiday, great hotel and great people. Definitely will be back again.

I went to Hurghada in a summer vacation before and I stayed in this hotel. In general the hotel was very nice, I enjoyed my stay there.
The service was excellent, All the staff were really nice and friendly to all of us. There are lots of activities you can do there, There are swimming pools, fantastic gardens, you also can make diving (but actually I didn’t try it), snorkeling, glass bottomed boats trips and in the evening there were singers who come every day in the hotel.
The food was good (not the best) and there were plenty of choice. We went to the beach most of the days and it was very clean and containing a lot of sun beds.
Actually I enjoyed my vacation there and I didn’t pay much money so I recommends it anyone who don’t want to pay a lot.

The first thing you might think as you see City Lodge is “who in the their right mind would stay in a pink building?” but once you get past the awful paintjob the lodge is very nice. With big bedrooms, very modern and clean, and with a fantastic bed.
When I visited, I managed to arrive just at the right time to go whale watching on a boat. Something that before, I thought was rather lame, but now I recommend to everyone.
The hotel also has a pool, if you don’t want to head off to the beach. But to be honest, there much better beaches in other parts of South Africa. Also, if you look around a little you can found little gems like the Billabong factory outlet for some good cheap clothes. Since Port Elizabeth is at one end of the Garden Route, it’s a place a lot of people forget as they head to Cape Town or north for a safari. But in a quiet town, this is a quaint well priced lodge.

In winter 2002, I went to the Pyramisa Isis Luxor Hotel with my friends which is one of the biggest and most popular five stars hotels in Luxor. This was our first time in Luxor and we have had fantastic time and glorious weather.
We stayed B&B (Bed and Breakfast),the breakfast is very good and we used to ate out every night and found some lovely places. The views from the room were amazing, looked across the Nile to the west bank. Definitely worth the extra for the view!
The location of the hotel is fantastic with the sites around Luxor being better than any imagination.
I would highly recommend this wonderful place.

In summer 2004, I had my short vacation in Cataract Pyramid Resort which is located within a short distance to the Pyramids but in a quiet land, Its location is one of its major advantages since it’s somehow away from the city crowd. The resort is perfectly laid out with a wonderful pool which is inviting and allows for unspoilt hours in the heat of the sun. The staff in the resort are very friendly and helpful. And as I said before it’s located near the pyramids so I had the opportunity to visit it, The hotel suggested we book a car and guide for the afternoon as our time was limited. We got a car and uniformed driver for 3 hours for about twelve pounds sterling. He helped us get our tickets for the Pyramids, told us which things to see and what to avoid and generally looked after us for the afternoon; well worth the money.
In brief, we found the rooms, food, and service all excellent and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone staying a few nights near the pyramids.

I went this hotel 3 years ago (2005). the hotel is located near the Pyramids at Giza, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
I have stayed in it for 4 days, the bedroom was very good designed, comfortable and equipped with air conditioning, telephone, television and minibar. Within the hotel there is a shopping arcade, beauty salon and swimming pool.
The pool area was clean and the pool itself was a welcome relief from the heat of the sun. The staff worked very hard to keep it looking pristine and look after you as best as possible.
The food in all the restaurants is good and definitely value for money, If anyone is looking to stay in this hotel it come thoroughly recommended.

The hotel is impressive. the bedrooms had a beautiful view of the Nile, Valley of the Kings.
The staff were polite and friendly, The service in the hotel was a excellent, The food was excellent but quite expensive, The alcohol was extremely expensive only the local drinks were cheaper.
A lot of people were offering boat rides (nile cruise) from the river bank (near the hotel), which is a definite must do activity in Luxor.
The hotel pool was small and was crowded during the day, but it becomes less crowd at 4 pm.
If I go Luxor again, I would stay at this hotel.
