In our 3 weeks trip, we planned to stay the longest at this hotel :( (big mistake). First of all there is no beach, the only way to enjoy the water is from the marina, which is very deep and rough sea. On top of it, the "life guards" from the hotel don't even swim.... The AC in our room... More

Who say it's old? It looks like it was new or at least renovated even before Mubbarack got the power. Last time thoroughly cleaned? Not in this century. Food is not good? No way! It's junk, absolute junk two steps from being poison. Everything here is just horrible and dirty. We couldn't stay here, spent 2 hours and run away. More

And a very charming Italian accent that more than once made us smile. Most recommendable teacher!! The Hotel itself is ok. Buffet is getting boring after 3 days but the rest... More

The hotel is located about 40k's south of the Airport and about 25k's north of Marsa Alam town The room was booked as superior with sea view on an all inclusive... More

Bad location. Low quality of food. No clean kitchen. I'd NEVER reccomend this hotel: bad compromise between quality and price. More

I always use trip advisor before I choose a hotel and it seems that some reviews are too negative. My boyfriend and I flew from Milan with phone and go. The tour operator changed our booking from the Tulip Resort to the Solitaire. Firstly the postive aspects of the hotel were that the hotel setting was pretty. The gardens were... More

I read some awful reviews on this hotel before i left, but i kept an open mind. The complex is very spacious and very clean. New management took over 3 months ago - the staff are kept on their toes. Destination is quiet and secluded, so if you want, a quiet lazy holiday its ideal. The majority of guest are... More

This hotel is very remote at the moment although there are building sites all around the resort - which you can hear. The hotel caters for Italians so unless you like to be by yourself don't go if you are English. All the entertainment is for the Italians and the entertainment staff speak little English. They didn't even have any... More
