"Hotel was great & clean & staff were very friendly & helpful." - D Lee, Essex
"Hotel staff seem genuinely friendly and helpful. Longwood reps knowledgeable and helpful." - V Lund, Northamptonshire
"The staff at Intercontinental Taba Heights were fantastic. Always friendly, always helpful, always happy. Nicest staff I have ever met at a hotel. Cleaners, chefs, waiters etc were all lovely. The food was fab! The trips I went on were brilliant and well organised. Longwood Holidays reps were well organised and friendly, I would definitely travel with Longwood again." - T Burton, Wiltshire
"The staff at the Intercontinental cannot do enough to make sure your holiday is perfect from waiters in dining room to the staff on the beach. Could not fault a single thing & will definitely return! (and I don't usually go anywhere twice!!) Would recommend all inclusive as drinks are not cheap, nor is lunch. Only money we spent was a tip for the waiters at end of holiday. Thanks for a great holiday." - C Lumby, Shropshire
"Fantastic holiday, wonderful hotel, very happy memories. Look forward to travelling to other areas with Longwood. Excellent reps." - J Pentlow, Hampshire
"The room service meal on arrival was much appreciated. The staff very pleasant and the food excellent. Any slight problem was dealt with immediately. Although weather a little too hot, it is the best hotel & resort I have ever stayed at. A quiet room was requested and it is exactly what I got. If I come again I would book all-inclusive." - D Cassidy, Derbyshire
"All the staff at the Intercontinental treated us like friends and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel exceeded our expectations." - AK, Cheshire
"We had an excellent holiday. The staff at the Intercontinental were extremely helpful & friendly. The hotel itself was fabulous & the food quality and choice excellent. The Longwood staff were also very good both at Gatwick airport & in the resort. Trip selection was good & the trip we went on was a very well organised & enjoyable experience. We would definitely travel with Longwood again & recommend it without reservation. An excellent holiday, thank you!" - C Todd, London
"Excellent holiday!" - Mr Pascoe, Essex
"We have thoroughly enjoyed our Egyptian holiday. We came with my parents who are in their mid 70s. The weather has been superb. The hotel was faultless and the staff very friendly and pleasant but not overbearing. The rooms are very adequate, the food delicious and the cleanliness in all areas beyond reproach. Accessibility around the hotel was very well-planned, especially for my Mum, who now has problems with stairs due to her age! Thank you Longwood for a very memorable holiday, from the very relaxed Gingell family." - T Gingell, Middlesex
"Really enjoyed the holiday. This is our third visit this year. Staff are very friendly. Hotel was impressive, over all it was an excellent holiday." - G Riley, Portsmouth
"Excellent help with booking and choosing the right hotel for a family party of 18 - ages from 10-72 years. The choice was absolutely right, lots on offer for everyone, and we all had a fantastic time." - T Woodliffe, Surrey
"Peter - I wish to express my utmost gratitude for his help and kindness when a child in party broke his arm. Peter arranged for a doctor to attend and later made arrangements for us to travel to Eilat to a hospital. Peter met us at the border and remained with us until we left hospital at 02.30 hrs when he organised guidance for the onward journey. Peter was so attentive and helpful - way beyond to the call of duty and I thank him so much." - G Seers, Essex
