Stayed there two consecutive years back in Dec. 04 and Dec 05. Paid less than $100 / night for a triple. I suspect that with all the issues in Sharm, prices have come way down. Overall resort was fabulous with a decent house reef. Food was good, service was good and friendly. Want to go back but won't go until things settle a bit.

Booked a AAA rate direct with Hilton. Was all inclusive and clearly labeled as all inclusive. If you book direct with Hilton, it looks like they changed the rate structure and the base rate is no longer all-inclusive. Chatted with a rep and verified that the rate quoted for AAA rate listed is all inclusive. It's a bit confusing because the rate right below is the Family rate and includes breakfast? Very odd.

Hmm, well for one, the largest tourist nationality going to Sharm were Russians. Since one of their charter planes full of tourists was blown up the Russian government has not allowed holiday operators to operate to Egypt. I don't recall any similar thing happening in Detroit. There is also now am active Islamic insurgency in the Sinai, despite how some people might characterize Detroit, I do not know if an active Islamic insurgency in Michigan.
