better than others - The Grotto bar we renamed the 'Grotty Bar' as it look like it needed a good blast with the furniture polish - but generally it was all ok. It didn't feel '5 star', but was very pleasant. The Room We had been given a free upgrade to a sea view room, and I would highly recommend upgrading as the view from our room was one of the best parts of the holiday. We could see Israel, Saudi Arabia and Jordan across the Red Sea, and to see the sunset turn the sea red in the evenings was breath-taking. Our room was large with two double beds, and was always spotlessly clean. Just a small niggle from our point of view: we had mentioned that it was our wedding anniversary but this was not acknowledged at all during our stay - I noted from some of the other reviews that other guests had been upgraded to a suite for no particular reason, which would have been nice! The staff The staff are the jewel in the crown of this hotel - they were all so helpful and could not do enough for you, in particular the guys from the beach bar, Tarik & Achmed in the restaurant and Mohammed and Achmed our lovely chefs. We have a lot of food intolerances and they really did their best to try and accommodate us, for which we were very grateful. The language barrier sometimes made this a little tricky,
