Hi Pete,
Yep, all back safe and well and back to a busy life at work unfortunately.
Once again we had a fabulous two weeks in Sharm with your apartment as a perfect base. No problems & all on site facilities were fine.
There seemed to be loads going on in the Nabq area which must mean good news for their economy. Also the whole area seemed much busier than we had experienced it before.
I will find some time to post on trip adviser and I'm sorry that I forgot to write in your visitors book.
Will definitely be back so will be in touch when we have some firm plans.
Kind Regards
Nikki

Hi Pete we got back safe and well thank you , we had a wonderful time in Sharm El Shiekh. The apartment was perfect for us we enjoyed all those lazy mornings around the pool. It was a beautiful apartment very comfortable we thoroughly enjoyed our time in there ,even got use to how to use a electric cooker was good fun. The staff at the resort were very helpful with any needs we had, in the near future we plan to return sometime as we didn't get to do a Cairo trip, I was looking to put a review on the web page but I wasn't able to do it any information would be good.
Once again thank you for letting us enjoy your apartment
Kind regards

Hi Pete
Thanks for your email, I should have contacted you on our return. We had an amazing time as always in your lovely apartment. The staff on the resort were as helpful as they always are. We even managed to fly across to the Pyramids this time.
We had a fantastic time and really appreciate using your apartment.
Thanks again.

Hello Peter
Our time is Egypt was great - though our flight got cancelled on our way back and we had to stay an extra night in a hotel.
The resort was great, the kids loved the choice of pools and the atmosphere was what we wanted.
The apartment was well equipped and found the picnic bag very useful.
Overall brilliant holiday and look forward to going again.
Thanks for all the help

Nikki & Craig

Hi Greta,
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful holiday. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - the fortnight flew by which is always a sign of a great holiday.
We would be very interested in returning to Sharm again next year - hopefully you'll still be renting your apartment then and we can arrange our visit through you.
Thanks again, Luisa
5th - 12th April 2012
Hi Pete
We had a very enjoyable stay in your apartment, and would not hesitate in recommending to others. Friends of ours stayed in another apartment and the difference in what you provide, both in terms of equipment within the apartment and advice was significant, with yours the much better equipped and much better advice given re: the area. Really great apartment.
Regards, Stephen
10th - 19th March 2012
Dear Pete
Thank you for your mail. Everything was very fine. My father-in-law (who stayed in the apartment) was very happy, as it was in much better condition and much nicer than the one, he stayed in last time we went there.
We had a brilliant holiday. Thank you so much for letting us stay.
Best regards,
Casper
24th Jan - 3rd Feb 2012
Hi Pete,
We had a great time thanks. We found the apartment to be very comfortable and well equipped. The guys at the resort were all extremely friendly and helpful. We would certainly consider returning one day. Thanks for all the information provided. We found it very helpful.
Best regards,
Alastair
27th Oct - 4th Nov 2011
Hi Pete, How are you?
We had a brilliant time and the apartment was great! Thank you! I think we'll definitely book with you again!

1st - 17th Sept 2011
Well we had a fantastic time again. hired a car this time and got around a little more with a trip up to the Blue Hole in Dahab. Apartment and resort still spot on. When the sun bears down on you there and it's cold & damp back home...well what more can i say. Thanks once again Pete & Greta
Barbara & John
17th - 30th Aug 2011
Hi Pete,
We had a fantastic holiday thanks. The apartment was just what we wanted and we would like to book again for next year. I will contact you again with details when you get back. We used the on site taxi most of the time for getting around
The enjoyment of sitting on the terrace first thing in the morning in the beautiful sunshine, & the fact that we had that back pool to ourselves for the whole 2 weeks. It was like being in a private villa. I cant believe how quiet it was. Mind you the whole resort seemed quiet, even Naama Bay.
Simon and Sarah next door were brilliant. My husband had an ear infection just before we left (typical) and Simon took him out on a private shore dive which was great. We also booked a trip with Norita, she was lovely.
We did find the phone really useful though, thats a brilliant plus. Last year we used our own and had a £200 phone bill on return. We have left comments in your guest book which I hope others will find useful.
Thanks once again for the use of your lovely apartment and I look forward to staying there next year (and perhaps many years to come)
Regards
Nikki
11th - 28th June 2011
Hi Pete. Just to let you know that we really enjoyed our holiday and the apartment and complex is a great setting. We had a great time and the staff were all pleasant and could not do enough for us. Thanks again for the use of your apartment, we left a good note in the book for you. Take care, Ken.
26th May - 2nd June 2011
Hello Peter, I hope you are ok. Firstly I like to thank you for the rent of your apartment. We had really nice week there. Everything was ok, really thank you. I like to ask you, I see that your apartment is free from July 10-18. We consider to come again, but finally I will know it only at the beginning of the next week. Only I like to tell you this that if still will be free, I would like to rent it. Once more again, thank you.
Regards,Olga.
28th March - 4th April 2011
HI sorry for the delayed response have been busy settling back into the UK. What can I say about Egypt, the weather, the food, the places to see and the things to do. In terms of the apartment I must say it was beautiful and nicer than I had imagined. Our transfers were on time and we came into a very clean apartment. The apartment contained everything we needed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you.

Hi Peter & Greta,
Just got back from your apartment in Sharm El Sheikh. One of the most relaxing holidays we have ever had. Weather fantastic. Could not fault your apatment, loved the new terrace furniture. Would highly recommend it.
Thanks again,
Phil,Helen & Lynn.
22nd Feb - 1st March 2011
Dear Pete and Greta,
Hope all is well. Sorry it's taken us so long to email since we've been back, been really busy! Just a message to say thank you very much for letting us rent the apartment, we had a fantastic holiday and were really impressed with the standard of the apartment. The staff were always really helpful and friendly, especially the egyptian experience taxi driver. And your friends Mary and Tom were lovely too.
Missing the hot weather and sunshine we had already! Thank you for all your help before the holiday, it made the whole organization much more relaxing and easy for us.
All the best.
Hannah and Harry
17th - 31st August 2010
Hello Pete
We had a great holiday thank you and we enjoyed staying at your apartment. We met some friends of yours while there and it is a really nice complex. Everyone is friendly and I've already recommended it to several people. Thank you from start to finish. All of your pre-holiday information was really useful and so was the information inside the apartment. We didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment but it had everything we needed. Plus the 'tips' were very helpful and we did as advised.
Chris and Beata
25th July - 13th August 10
Hello Pete, Yes, thank you, we had a great holiday. The beaches were nothing less than fabulous. We went to Shark's Bay 4 times and Raz Mohammed National Park and to Terin Island. We didn't see a cloud for 3 weeks. The kids loved the pools at the complex and the staff were very accommodating.
Thank you for your friendly and professional approach and for helping us to organise our holiday.
Best regards, Sonia and family
3rd - 10th July 10
Hi Pete yes we had a great time thanks and the apartment was great.
Wish I was still there :( thank u very much. Kind regards, Carol.
25th June - 2nd July 10
Hi Pete,
Thanks for the use of the apartment, had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks again for the apartment and all the information, Denice.
8th - 15th June 10
Hi Greta,
We had a lovely time thank you. I think I was a little too cautious with the a/c use - our bill for the utilities was only 160LE! Thanks again for the use of your apartment. Hope we can visit again sometime. Best regards, Courtney.
2nd - 16th April 10
A very nice complex, all the other guests and owners were very decent people, my kids enjoyed the pool bar food (on a daily basis) and the staff in the pool bar were great! We also had a bbq there one evening which was enjoyable too. Your apartment is in a great secluded spot and the bedrooms were very comfortable! And if you fixed the weather for us then thanks for that as well as it was lovely! Thanks for everything and take care, Paul, Sonia, Ryan & Abbie.
4th - 11th March 10
Hi Pete & Greta
We arrived back last night about midnight. The weather was great, hot, sunny and 30 degrees and we had a great time. The apartment and complex are really nice with everything you need and it was like having your own pool at the rear as we were the only one's using it while we were there and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The transfers to and from the airport all went OK and following your instructions checking out went smoothly. We went on a couple of trips - did the Grand safari which included the visit to St Catherine's Monastery, Coloured canyon and Dahab which is quite a long day and also did the boat trip to Ras Mohammed.
We went to Sharks Bay beach one day but didn't go to any of the other beaches as preferred to stay by the pool.
We travelled around on the Micro buses into Nabq and Narrma Bay which was OK once we got the hang of negotiating the prices! We eat in The Three Corners hotel in Nabq which was ok once we got in , George looked after us on a table by the pool which was very nice and we also had a good meal in the Peking Restaurant and One Fish. You were right about changing currency when you get there. We think it is an excellent choice for some winter sun, being quiet and having so many pools to choose from and would certainly consider booking again in future to escape from our freezing weather! It was 27 degrees one evening in Narrma Bay and only 1 degree when we returned here last night. Thanks very much for allowing us to use your apartment and we look forward to seeing you soon. Kind regards, Colin & Wendy
11th - 25th February 10

Thanks a lot, Avis,Lamba,Aneesha and Mostafa
2nd - 9th January 10
Dear Peter
Actually, Sophea and I wanted to thank you and give you a big hug from here in Khartoum for the wonderful time we had in your beautiful apartment. It was just right and we thoroughly enjoyed in what we found to be a home away from home! We thought you have furnished your apartment with great care and taste and as you have said in your folder, you have indeed tried to stay in and see if it makes your stay homely. We even managed to watch a very nice movie from your collection, I do not remember the title, but about this guy who buys this otter and takes it out to the wilderness and understands how the environment is being disturbed by Man. Asha, our four year old started crying loudly when the Otter was killed and was inconsolable!
Yes, we did go out and did some snorkeling and the aqua park, where the father was enjoying more than the kids (having lost on those luxuries during childhood!) We also took time to just relax and swim in the pool. We did use the kitchen a lot as we found coming back and cooking our own meal a lot more relaxing. This was our first ever family trip exclusively for our own holiday. We have always been alternating or dividing our holiday time between India and Cambodia and most of the time, especially in India, is spent catching up with siblings, parents and doing all the family protocols and it is only now we discovered how enjoyable our holidays could be! Thanks again for contributing to our happiness!
So Peter, my heartfelt thanks to you for lending the apartment and we will talk to our friends if any one is interested and will get them in touch with you.
Sincerely, Janu.
3rd - 19th Sept 09
Well, here we are again. Things just get better. Pete & Greta seem to improve the apartment and what is provided every year. The egyptian mobile phone proved very useful & the upgraded welcome folder with everything you need in it to ease you in proved perfect. The resident safe is a useful addition along with being able to plug our ipod straight in to their system - home from home but with the sunshine every day!!
Many thanks, Barbara & John
25th Aug - 1st Sept 09
Hi Pete,
First of all a very big apology for not contacting you sooner I can't believe that we've already been back for a month! We really did enjoy our stay enormously. The apartment, the complex and Egypt were all wonderful. we managed to do everything we wanted to including a little diving, a speedboat to Tiran Island (which was quite a bumpy ride!) and a sunrise trip to the desert in the buggies. The weather was amazing and we wish we could still enjoy that now. Used the buses to get around which worked really well especially when the locals realised we knew the prices. We look at the photos from our holiday and long to be back.
Thank you once again for the use of your apartment, I am sure this is not the last you will hear from us.
Maria & Paul
18th June - 2nd July 09
