General Comments
Taba, Radisson SAS Resort - We had a nice week at the Radisson SAS Resort. The setting is fantastic, the hotel is nice, although not 4/5* as we were led to believe. I think the star ratings in Egypt are different to ours in England as they go up to 8*. We found the waiters to be bloody miserable and do get annoyed if you ask for things, i.e., my son was refused an ice cream as he already went to get one 30 mins earlier and wasn't allowed another! They are very 'jobs worth.' The hotel manager tries to get you to pay for bbq's and things but why bother when you go all inclusive! The trip to Cairo was fantastic allthough the 7 hour coach trip is a pain. Weather is fantastic and hot. The swimming pool wasn't checked for chemical levels as far as we saw and the water did start to smell and go cloudy? Everyone we met (mostly from Essex) was ill during their stay. The reps tell you its 'traveller stomach'.
