Havent stayed at this Hotel , but reviews look good ,

Down town Hurghada However is a big Egyptian town best avoided , is very ""Egyptian"" in a touristy cheap tat way ,with its constant " in your face , buy from me , street peddlars can be off putting ,

we stayed in El Gouna resort 20km away , like a resort built into the desert , it appeared more up market catering exclusively for tourists , nice ambiance ...good PH go karting track as well

Dahab is good if you like watersports like sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, snorkeling, diving and just lazing around on a beach. Town is nice too with lots of good restaurants and bars with some nightlife also!

Thanks, always wondering when I read online reviews if they are genuine or not which is why I thought I would ask here, I'm swaying toward Elgouna now especially as there is a kart track and other activities to keep me from getting bored. (I'm not really into beach holidays but promised Mrs Saleen)
