We have just returned from 10 days at the Holiday Village Red Sea and it was fab. I'd read lots of reviews before we went and I wasn't sure what to expect but I can honestly say the whole experience for myself, my husband and 2 children was fantastatic. The hotel was spotless, the rooms were huge, the gardens were lovely. My children spent alot of time in the heated pool and I was grateful that we never had to look too far for a sunbed. The beach was beautiful and the sea was so clear you can see the fish swimming around your legs; beware of the sea urchins though. We went on lots of trips; if you're planning on visiting the pyrimids flying is the best option. Its an early start an a packed day but well worth it. Snorkelling in Ras Mohammed was enchanting, and yes we did see Nemo. We went swimming with Dolphins which was wonderful and on the Stars and Dinner trip in the desert; I've never seen so many stars! All of these trips were completely new experiences for me as I'm a bit of a scaredy cat doing these things was amzaing. The weather was alot hotter than I'd expected it to be for December so we've all come back with a tan aswell, bonus! So having been there myself my conclusion is the staff, the food, the location, the cleanliness are all 5 star, the only thing that is 4 star is, as my husband calls it, th fit and finish of the place, in other words, parts of it are alittle 'tatty' for 5 star; but please dont let that put you off its a fantastic place and I would love to go again.

thoroughly enjoyed the resort and its facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was always clean and there was a varied variety of food. I have stayed in this hotel twice.
scuba diving fantastic and the massage was really relaxing and I am a bit of a scrooge with money but it was worth the price.

We have just returned with our 2 girls, ages 2 and 5. The holiday village was everything that we expected from the reviews. The kids loved it, loads for them to do, the kids club (from age 3) was great, more structured than other red sea hotels that we have visited before. The kids evening entertainment was a must and a highlight of each evening for the kids.
We had a junior suite, recommended by a previous review and it was nice, large with a great bathroom and huge wardrobe. The rooms were really clean, fresh towels etc.
Only went to one a la carte restaurant (Sari) as we found it too formal having spent 4 days in the buffet restaurant and the kids prefered the buffet style. The food was good overall, plenty of it and lots of choice. The pizza were made as you wait and they were fab!
Did have building work in the block which did slightly hinder the afternoon nap, but couldn't be bothered to change rooms, so didn't complain about it!
Would seriously consider going back there again!
