i went in may for a week and i can say i will not ever be going back! i really didnt like it, we were constantly being bothered by 2 or 3 traders an hour when on the sunbeds trying to sell excursions etc and wouldnt take no for an answer.. i got the runs on the 3rd day which i think was from the ice in the drinks. the hotel was nice enough and the weather was great but i hated the people! they were so rude it was unreal, example of conversation with a cabbie in naama bay.
Cabbie "would you like a cab"
Me "no thanks we would like to walk down the beach to the hotel"
cabbie "where are you staying? ill give you a good price"
Me "sonesta beach, i really dont want a cab thanks"
"50 Egyptian"
"I Dont want a cab"
"30 Egyptian"
"look i dont want a cab"
"20 Egyptian"
"Were walking back, we dont want a cab!!"
"You f*****g english c***t"
getting abuse like that and being pestered all day everyday really ruined my holiday and id struggle to recommend it to anyone.
alot of people have really loved it and keep going back but not for me
