Stayed with 2 teenage children for a week.They loved the well maintained pool.Villa huge and adequately furnished with much needed air conditioning (don't look too closely at finish as not to European standards). Very private gardens but one should note that the surrounding area is still being developed. The location is excellent with the airport only 10 mins away,the old town only 15 mins by taxi and my children loved the day out at the water park -Titanic, only 10 mins away by taxi. There are some classy restaurants around the Marina ,our favourite being the White Elephant Thai restaurant. Hurghada centre is a typical Egyptian resort, scruffy in places but some gems to be found- beach bar.I don't think the centre would suit everyone - prepare to be hassled until tanned! There is a large inexpensive supermarket- Spinneys, only 10 mins away by taxi and what's more, McDonalds delivers- a must for teenagers! |

I spent 10 days at Twin Palms villa, Hurgharda in June this year, and am planning my third trip before the year is out. The twin palms villa is an excellent location in Hurgharda, situated amongst mainly residential property so it is very quiet and homely. The villa is very private with loads of space inside and out; private pool (always just the right temperature, and regularly cleaned) just right for floating around sipping cocktails - especially at night and great facilities; BBQ, pool table, darts board etc, and use of floats for pool etc. and indoor there is TV (satelite) and DVD player for quiet nights in after a barbie. And the huge roof terrace is great for serious sun-worshipper or for star gazing at night. There is useful local information available for guests re. trips, bars and clubs, and the caretaker is usually on hand if any other info is required. There is loads to do in Hurgharda - with all you need in the main town; An old well established town where you can buy almost anything - and can socialise with the locals - enjoying mint/fruit teas and traditional shisha pipes and there are loads of bars/clubs - so many that there is a 'ladies night' serving free drinks almost every night of the week! A great choice of restaurants, and try the new Marina, a great spot for a special dinner. In the opposite direction from the villa is the new Shopping Mall which has an excellent supermarket - selling everything you need, fresh fruit & veg, meat etc. as well as a great place to buy your sun lotions - oh and great for some retail therapy - clothes, shoes etc. If the beach is the place for you, there are loads of private beaches with small entrance charges - but with great facilities; wifi, waiter service, private cabanas etc - I woud recommend Mojito beach, great friendly service and ony 10min taxi ride (£2) from villa. Oh and nearly forgot - always excellent weather when I have been there (Feb & June) - so all in all a great place for a holiday - and the villa would be an ideal location for large families, or large group of friends. |

Thanks for all your help, we had a fantastic holiday.. Would def recommend it to all my friends." Louise Newland - August 2010
"A wonderful experience, going to the safari to see bedouins and a trip to Luxor is a must. Well worth it. This can be arranged by the Villa rep who are always available to help. Good facilities and activities for the young ones as well." - Mr Hurrairah May 2010
"Super, spacious, well equipped villa with private walled garden and lovely heated pool. Exactly as described in the advert" - Gordon, April 2008
"Excellent servce given. The representative was excellent and always on call to help. Would recommend it" - Gardners, July 2008
"We had a beautiful time at the villa on our honeymoon" - Mr Gahnnam, Sept 2008
"Lovely spacious villa in a very private location, adequately equipped for a relaxing holiday. English agent on call who provided a superb service and arranged excursions with great efficiency. Great beach within walking distance at Magawish and lovely restaurants at the new Marina in Sakalla. Can recommend a trip to Mahmya Island and the excursions to Cairo and Luxor were exhausing but worth it. Only downside is Pharoah's Revenge so stock up on the local tablets as soon as you get there! " - Ms Jones Jan 2010
"We had a lovely holiday, a bit of sunshine in December was a wonderful thing!" - Mrs Black, December 2008
"We had a very nice vacation. We rested and the children loved to swim in the pool." - Mrs Ekokoski - Jan 2009
"My Husband, myself and our 2 Eldest Sons came here in June this year (2009) for 3 weeks. We were later joined by some very good friends of ours and thier family. All in all there were 9 of us.
The Villa was fantastic, we found it to be very spacious even with 9 of us occupying it. The pool was big enough even with all of us in. The facilities there were just what we required, i.e. Washing Machine, Dishwasher, Iron and Ironing Board, TV, DVD & Satelite and just all the usual things you have at home. We had nights in and cooked in the kitchen, we had a couple of barbeque's which were great. In fact everything we needed was all right there.
It was great to wake up in the morning with the sunrise and the peacefulness, the weather was just fantastic and as you looked out of the Villa you could see the desert for miles it really was quite breathtaking.
Although there is a lot of building going on around the Villa and in Magawish itself, I can honestly say there really was no noise at all. We were not disturbed at all. We had no problem's travelling around Magawish and other places.
Our House keeper was fantastic and gave us her phone number if we needed anything for the Villa or any transport or information. We felt we had known her for ages. She arranged for us to go to Cairo by plane and even arranged out hotel for us which was superb, also other excursions for us and believe me apart from them being fantastic they were well and truly worth every penny we paid.
I would quite happily come here to the Villa every year for my Holiday. It was a fantastic place to be. I really can't praise it enough. I have been to Egypt 5 times now (and know it like the back of my hand) staying in Hotels near Magawish and although that is nice I felt that the privacy in your own little place just made it more special.
If anyone would like to ask any questions about the villa, places to go, things to do or any information in general about visiting Egypt, I would be more than happy to let you know.
