Fantastic holiday, great Hotel and staff will do there very best to make you welcome and that you enjoy your time there. The rooms are of good standard and clean bed linin everyday, We have booked to go back in July 2008 (cant wait)

Me and my friend just came back from our holiday in Taba where we stayed for a week only and from the very frist day we knew we were going to regret the fact we didnt book for two weeks.

Everything was so not far from perfect. Staff, people who were there on their holidays, animation team, everybody was so friendly and helpful. The food was very good - at least i cant complain. you did get more or less the same every day but the choice was so good that you always enjoy. Casper and Mark honestly made our holidays - we felt like princesses and although you dont get very much of night life comparing to london there was always something interesting going on. and its not the resort only - there are so many trips and atractions waiting for you that you will not wanna go home.

this holiday was the best i have ever been on. The food had a great varity even though my antie was on soup for the whole holiday but if u only like english food there may be a problem.
The rooms were fully air conditioned and were cleaned daily. The animation team were fantasic!! Casper is soo funny and will entertain you day and night!

We booked our holiday through Travel Republic, which was great as we had a taxi transfer from the airport, the driver on the way there couldn't speak much English but made up for it by giving us fresh fruit to eat. On the journey back the drivers English was good and he gave us a history lesson of Eygpt!

The hotel was very clean, our room had been recently painted, the beds were comfortable and the linen was changed daily. I have never stayed in a hotel where the staff have been so helpful and friendly - a special mention must go to Reda and the man who ran the Yellow Submarine bookings (can't remember his name). The food was ok, as mentioned before it was a little boring but tasty all the same, the head chef was very funny - he offered my partner 100 camels for me !!

The Beach is only a short walk away, and very lovely, there was always free beds available and by most afternoons only about 1/2 full. The beach guys do a great job keeping the place clean and every other day remove stones from the waters edge to make it easier for swimmers! The house reef is really worth a visit, take a bread roll with you the fish will eat out of our hand - there is a resident Parrot Fish that loves bread.

We went on the Petra trip with Thompson but wished we had gone with Longwoods. Thompson stopped at various hotels to pick up, whereas Longwoods went direct to the ferry port, they also got longer in Petra than we did. Another trip worth doing is the snorkelly/fishing trip, this can be booked on the beach its cheaper than booking through your agent.

I went for a predicure the day before we came home. It was the best I have ever had but not the the faint hearted. They young girl spent 2 hours attacking my feet - they had never been so soft!

The only downside to the holiday was the Eastern Europeans, they were loud, rude and have never grasped the concept of queing. Every else was spot on, we will definitely be returning to the Sol y Mar, if you want a relaxing holiday then this is the place to go
