"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 |
