When we arrived in egypt, an army of egyptians began to prey on us because we were english. They where constantly asking us to buy things from then. After finally escaping from the airport, we had an hour drive to our resort. Expecting a decent environment to our 4 star hotel, it was like a warzone. With half built structures all around, and busy roads which were quite frightening, we were very disapointed.
Finally entering the hotel, the reception area was very nice and welcoming from the blazing heat outside. With a quick book in, our room situation got alot worse. After ordering two rooms next to eachother, we were given two rooms on seperate hallways at the back of the hotel. This was very flustrating, but finally, we were ready to go to sleep.
The food in the hotel was basically rubbish. And after a few days, we all got ill. Seriously ill. With stomach cramps and Diarroeah for the rest of the twoo week stay, this was awful for us and ruined the experience. The entertainment was non existent apart from egyptian kareoke.
All in all, the red sea was fantastic and was the best part of the stay, the worst part was the constant pressure from punters on the beach, asking you to buy trips and merchandise. One man actually offered us medicine to help my son better. This was because my son was pale, and the punter thought he was ill.
This hotel was not worthy of an all enclusive 4 star rating.

We stayed at the Seagull, (Beach club, All inclusive) Hurghada for 7 days. The main hotel is called "Beach Resort" but right next to it is the "Beach Club", its all part of the same hotel complex.
The hotel was VERY clean and tidy. Its located on the Main street through Hurghada which can be very noisy and busy, but great for shopping.
In the hotel and pool area it was very quiet though.
The room was very nice and average size, with a balcony that overlooked the pool area.
The pools were very clean, and had pleanty of room around them.
The resturants were also nice, and a good selection of food, although they were very busy at times.
For those who want to try diving, there is the "DiveToo" diving centre on site. Here you can try a dive for free, or go out for a day on a boat and dive or snorkel.
I tried a free dive and liked it so much I took a 4 day diving course .. and now I have a P.A.D.I open water diving certificate. (many thanks to my dive instructor "Amir").

Bad points: There are no really bad points really, just some small anoying things, 1. our room did not get cleaned until late afternoon. 2. we tried calling to Hurhghada from our room hotel phone, but that would not work.

All in all, a Very nice relaxing holiday, we have booked another weeks holiday there for April. This time its booked direct with the hotel.

I stayed there for one week, this past August 2006, with big family, six rooms in total, my brother found many bed bugs in his kids bed (hungry for blood) it was a nightmare. They changed the room for him, but the damage was done. This was my second stay at this hotel, but no more. Otherwise , pool is great, food and beach are OK.

We stayed here for our honeymoon from 15th Sept to 29th Sept 2006. I booked this holiday through Olympic holidays (via Appollo Travel) earlier in the year. Whilst I was pleased with the service from Appollo Travel, Olympic were completely unhelpful and rude. I suffer from a severe allergy to nuts and both companies were made aware of this due to the difficulties this causes.
I read a review regarding this hotel on tripadvisor a few weeks before we went and was very concerned with remarks made about lack of labels on the food. I called Olympic to ask about this and whether we could either move hotels or they could help with the situation - I was told "this is not our problem, you should have thought of this when you booked"! They refused to speak to me about this issue and when Appollo tried to help, they refused to speak to them also. Not the sort of customer service I expect from such a company - avoid booking with them, we won't be again.
The hotel itself is certainly not a 4 star - 3 at a push. Our room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Housekeeping was wonderful, cleaned every day by a very polite chap who turned down the bed and folded any clothes we had left out.
The pool was ok, refreshing in the heat but be prepared for the many Russians, Polish and Czechs taking LOADS of pictures all day, every day!
The reception staff were very poor and didn't really take any notice of questions asked.
The hotel was absolutely packed with Russians, Polish and Czechs - there was only 5 British in our 1st week and 10 in our 2nd. We felt extremely alienated and ignored, no other guests were friendly and you have to fight for a drink or any food. Don't expect any queues, pushing and shoving happens in the restaurant at every meal. We found the food ok but due to having bad stomachs, being pushed about and there not being much left (due to the gluttony of many guests), we ate out most evenings. We had actually paid for all inclusive but if you want to go, half board would be better.
Our rep from Odyssey (Omar) was brilliant. He told us all about the resort, food, money, excursions and wrote in arabic a sheet about my allergy for the restaurant and shops. He organised 4 trips for us - Cairo, a glass bottom boat trip, Shalm el Naga and Mahmya beach. We paid a very reasonable price for these, they were all accompanied by very knowledgable guides and we thoroughly ejoyed them all. The snorkelling was fantastic, Cairo was manic but wonderful (the museum especially) and the beaches great.
Please go to Papas bar and Rossis Italian resturant - the staff were great and the food lovely.
Tipping - you will find that everyone wants money. You can't even go to the toilet without the women making you pay for toilet roll - take your own!
Overall it was an ok holiday - not what we expected for our honeymoon and when we go again we'll be booking through a better travel company.
Weather was fabulous though.....
