"Avoid Third Floor Cabins" - 4 Stars for MS Orchid in Nile, Egypt

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:46:02 +0000

Susan wrote, "Just returned from a 7 night cruise aboard The Orchid. This was an all inclusive First Choice, last minute, winter sun holiday which we booked for a relaxing break. We also took the opportunity to explore ancient Egypt. The one and only main problem with our holiday was the location of our third floor cabin which is directly under the bar and dance floor. The noise is unbelievable. At time..."

This hotel looks great when you get there, but that is all. When we returned in October it took us 3 weeks to get over the runs with cramps, I lost 10lbs my husband over a stone. I have been to Egypt many times and have never suffered before. Everyone you spoke to was having the same problems, some being sick as well. We could not wait to get home, when you as..."

Lynn Savill wrote, "We arrived late at the Baron Resort after being delayed at Gatwick, and then being moved from Baron Palms. How pleased we were though, because this hotel is everything you would expect from a five star. Our room was spacious with two double beds, and very clean. We had lovely thick bathrobes and towels. Beautiful linen on the beds and lots of goodies, for example vanity sets, slippers e..."

Holiday Review

We went to Dreams Beach Resort in July for 2 weeks. After visiting many countries I enjoyed my stay but would not go back. The entertainment for children was rubbish as was the adult entertainment. The reason I put poor on the comfort of the rooms was we were supposed to have double rooms but four of us ended up in the one room, not good enough. As for the waiter..."

This was our third trip on the Nile but we had previously travelled with Thompson aboard the Crown Prince and were truly satisfied. This time however our friends booked with First Choice and we thought a change would be ok. What a mistake! We paid extra for 2 deluxe cabins and what we all got was a tatty room with old worn carpets and dirty curtains, so goodness..."

"safe haven in luxor" - 4 Stars for Iberotel Luxor in Luxor, Egypt

Holiday Review

The Iberotel in Luxor is an exellent base to see the sights of Luxor. It has a fantastic location on the banks of the Nile, with a very pretty garden leading down to the river. Although not as grand as some of the Luxor hotels it offers very good service in all areas of the hotel.The rooms are well equiped and the nile/west bank view has got to be one of the best available.Staff do not push for tips and are for the most part (85%) very efficient and obliging.It is clearly a hotel with an interest in maintaining high standards(the general manager is a nice guy who clearly takes time to ensure the best service and support for guests) and many other staff follow his example.We stayed for 2 weeks on an all inclusive basis and were very satisfied with the value for money this provided. It has to be said that the meals in the restaurant were a little lacking, but we were always able to find something from the choices available.Day time snacks were very good, I would recommend having lunch in the bar, which although not large, was a haven from the heat, and served exellent drinks,(the beer and soft drinks were in cans this can really be a bonus as mixer drinks from the tap in Egypt are pretty awful !). Room service was good and i was impressed with the laundry service. the pool area which floats on the Nile was of a good size and fresh towells and sunbeds were always available. Due to the proximity to the Nile there was an occasional problem with petrol fumes from nearby boats, but this has to be accepted with a working river.We ate in both of the A la carte restaurants, Italian and Chinese, both being of a good quality.l

Simone Sinclair wrote, "Sometimes people need to be more open minded when visiting foreign countries. First of all when we arrived in Sharm we caught a cab from the airport which unfortunately ripped us off as on our return we paid �5 but coming we paid �20. This has to be the worst point of the holiday, as you feel you have little choice but to pay as all of them give the same price. Now that thats out of the..."

Ann wrote, "This was the worst hotel I have ever been to� And I must say that it doesn�t qualify for 4*. I would say it is a 2+! I will try to criticize constructively and I have a lot to tell you� 1. Customer service is absolutely horrible! When you go on a holiday you obviously expect staff to be friendly and want to feel safe, don�t you? So expect them to be impolite, bothering you all the time..."

We booked our one week holiday online for a very 'fair' price. We did have the option to upgrade the room to a suite (believe it was around �10 per person for the whole week) so we did. Once arrived at the hotel the checking in went v..."
