Just returned from what should have been a relaxing week of stress free fun in the sun at the 5 star all inclusive domina harem.Before i go in to detail if you have already booked this hotel and can not get a change then log off now ...... you were warned.... i was'nt .Let me make it clear that this is not an attack on the hotel its self it's not a terrible place its not 5 star either not by a country mile and its not all inclusive either an honest description would read 3star half board.Arrival.You are greeted by the impresssive main gate you've seen it looks like the Taj mahal this entrance is shared by all 7 hotels and im afraid once through that arch i stopped being impressed . The place is the size of milton keynes and about as much fun you have a taf taf service that travels around the complex there are three of these running 24 hour and you still have a ten minute wait this gives you an idea of the size .The room is adequatebut not a 5 star room the sea view was visible by pulling the coffee table to the left hand side off my patio and climbing on it.The resteraunt at harem is called spices and is definately aimed at the russian pallet there are two carbon copies of this restaraunt on the complex and a ride on the taff taff does break up the monotany of this butlinesque dining experience.snacks consist of left overs from lunch The other restaraunts are chargeable although a good discount is given which they promptly nick back when you have after dinner drinks .£22.50 for a vodka with orange ,rum and coke,2 local beers.We ventured in to namma bay for some much needed nurishment as eating domina food more tha 1 a day had become unthinkable here we found solace at the the hard rock cafe 3 times and T.G.I fridays once good food good value i just wish i could say the same about the rest of my holiday.medhotels description is expertly vauge with small print disclaimers and it was clear the rep was used to using these as a defence for the over rating of this hotel, That aside my holiday was saved from the ashes by 2 couples we met who had a similar view to ours and raised our spirits.We made our own entertainment as the only entertainment was in the coral bay hotel and was specifically aimed at the russian and italian guest who i might add strutt around like they own the place pushing in being rude and aggressive to the staff who serve them first so as not to upset them.Dont go here if you like good food good sevice and dont enjoy being treated like a third class citizen. One last thing dont use the supermarket on site 3 curly wurly bars in multi pack 30 egyptian pounds thats £3 in english nothing is priced up they make the price up at the till. I could go on but i hope you've the message ther were at least 2 occurences every day that bolstered my low opinion of MED HOTELS .And as for domina time aptly renamed as dolmio time by heather our compadre its pointless adds confusion on all aspects of your holidays( exscursions/ departure/meal times and funnily enough
coincides exactly with moscow time thus no such confusion for our russian counterparts .thanks to tom and heather/ gary and sam i came home with some fond memories of eygpt but absoloutely none of med hotels or domina hotels.
