Basic Badawia
20 December 2007
if your looking for a hotel with the WOW factor then dont come here. But it is nice enough - and when on holiday - you dont spend all day in the hotel - you venture out so with a hotel dont splash out - if its clean and nice like this one - its good enough. they clean your rooms everyday with fresh towels which is good. the cleaner even made creative shapes of of the towels - which was exciting to come back to everyday! the pool is freezing and you have to be very brave to go in! and it looks so pretty! - but a public beach is 2mins away and the shuttle picks you up to go there every hour of everyday and thats free. the staff are friendly and reception is helpful. we went B&B and the breakfast was the same everyday - but 'alright' food like omelettes, pancakes, cakes and do it yourself toast...
it is a nicely situated hotel as it is close to Naama bay - the main shopping town, food, etc, it is near to Old Sharm -markets,restaurants, etc and other places. And to get around is very cheap - £2 to get pretty much anywhere! always go in the BLUE and WHITE taxis - trusted ones.
I rate Badawia as 3/5 but it wasn't horrid - just basic.
Loved it out there (went from 13-19th December - and weather was scorching!! nice tan!)
Definately go...
we met people out there and other nice hotels were - the Savoy and Golden Sharm.
Hope this has helped!
