As a family of six this was a perfect place to stay! Close to all we need - both supermarket, beach and the Esplanada - yet a quiet surrounding.
The apartment was spacy and well equipped, and made a great place for the kids to relax after long days.

Spacious, clean and well kept apartment in a good location in Hurghada. It was of a good modern standard for Egypt. Pool is of a very good size, - though we spent most of our time at a nearby beach, which appears to be one of the better ones in Hurghada. We were there in August, and the pool during that time was regularly cleaned. Apartment was cleaned twice during our 10 day stay.
Transfers to/from the airport were arranged for us, and the local contact was very helpful.
The property is only a short (and cheap) taxi ride from central Hurghadas markets and restaurants.
Restaurants, banks etc on the modern esplanade were only a 5 to 10 min walk away.
Apartment was in a residential block of apartments, and was very quiet.

This villa was very good value for money with many home comforts. It is well equipped, clean, spacious and will comfortably sleep 8.The bathroom and tiolet facilities are very good, although the showers would be better with a curtain around them. The kitchen is well served with new fridge/freezer, microwave, cooker, washing machine and plenty of pots,pans, plates and cutlery. The swimming pool and surrounding area is sufficient but not secluded from the other villas and the pool tends to get leaves blown into it although it is cleaned on occassions.

The property is located in the New Hurghada area .It is easy to reach both Sekala and Al Bahar by taxi(20-30EGP)or minibus(1-2EGP pp). Just step out of the gate and grab one in the street (we never waited moore than 30 sec).There is a good supermarket just across the street.If you want to bring beer or any kind of alcohol to the apartment you have to buy it at the dutyfree store within 48 hrs after landing.(Bring your passports). The nearest beach is a 10 min. walk to the Old Vic Hotel(admission fee 25EGP pp incl.sunchair).Note: As in every hotel in Hurghada you can not bring food or drinks,you have to buy it within the hotel area.
The New Hurghada center area,with a lot of resorts.restaurants,shops and some nightclubs is a 10-15 min. walk away.The apartment was very spacious,had a good kitchen and comfortable beds.The only negative thing was that since it was on the groundfloor and just outsidide the balcony there was a big tree it was very little sun on it.But over all we were very satisfied with the apartment.Nobi, the guy who pics you up at the airport and brings you back after your visit,was VERY nice and helpfull. We were 4 pers.and for ourselves he arranged a 1-day excursion to Cairo incl.a minibus that could carry 15 pers,2drivers and a private guide at a resonable price. We would certainly recommend
this apartment.

Gorgeous apartment, beautifully decorated and spacious.
The owners are really lovely and helpful. Nobi is fabulous and will organise anything for you from an excursion to food shopping.
I am disabled and use a wheelchair and they all went out of their way to make the apartment accessible for me. They took the bathroom door off it's hinges, purchased a raised toilet seat, ramped the entrance, even borrowed a wheelchair from the local hospital for me during my stay.
Unfortunately the pool was out of action during our stay but we took a 15 min stroll to 'The Mariot' hotel where for a small fee we could use all their facilities for the day with a room thrown in (they have a heated pool).
Wonderful food (avoid 'The Bull') friendly locals, beautiful beaches.
Overall a lovely holiday

The apartment was spacious and clean and well positioned being close to the airport, close to a great beach and only a quick taxi ride into town. The person who 'comes with' the apartment is just superb - friendly and helpful and so welcoming. We were catered for brilliantly with our three young children and would definitely go back again.

We were very satisfied with the apartment we hired. It was near by the centre of Hurghada, and near the beach. In the apartment there were all facilities one needed, and it was very practical for a big family like ours. The patio was peaceful, and the swimming pool near by was clean and it was lovely to use it when we were not on the beach. It was very helpful to have a guide who picked us up from the airport, who ordered all the trips we wanted to make and took us back to the airport at the end of the holiday. We will recommend this apartment to others who are interested to travel to Hurghada.

The apartment is wonderfully large and is very private and extremely clean and not in an overly commercial area. It is also near the shops where local people buy their food, so its very cheap to self-cater. We found the local people very welcoming and the owners of this apartment were also so helpful in setting it all up for us, with all the local information and hints about where to go and with a very gracious local agent too! It really made the experience so much more personal instead of being treated as yet another tourist. Its about a 10 minute walk to the beaches which are clean and very quiet. The area is slowly developing but I’m sure it will stay quiet for many years to come. Mrs L Dec 2006

Just returned from a 2 week break to Hurghada, our 1st visit to Egypt, and have had a fantastic time! The whole trip offered very good value for money, and all aspects of the holiday have been faultless. Our host Naobi couldnt do enough for us, and his friendly helpfull manner added to our enjoyment.
Will definately be going back!!

The flat was lovely, very spacious, smart and comfortable and the balcony was really nice.
Nobi was excellent and the services he provided were first class. He made the holiday happen for us (Nobi is our friend who picks our guests up from the Airport and arranges any excursions, diving etc. they may wish to make whilst on holiday at very reasonable prices)
The new supermarket nearby was excellent. So cheap, always open and even got us some fruit and delivered it to the door G.S. Oct 2006
Thank you so much for a lovely holiday. We had a fantastic time and the Apartment is lovely.
Nobi was helpful too, and so full of smiles ! M.L Dec 2006
