Just returned from the Gardens Palms and what an experience. As we walked into reception a stabbing took place as they were groups of Israelis and egyptians fighting. The tension in the hotel was terrible and the english and arabs were segragated at eating time and the use of the pools. We were advised by the manager to move hotels... more

Brilliant hotel 2nd visit and as good as last year We paid less that £350 each for a week in May and in my book I believe it would be a cheek to complain.Subtracting the air fare the hotel works out about £11 per person per night.You could't even buy 4 pints in the UK for that. Food was fine... more

Well what can I say this hotel I thought was brilliant!!! I work for Thomson as a travel agent and was a bit worried about the reviews,Pulling up outside the hotel it looks very nice with security guards you are straight away greeted by the staff who take your suitcases to your room. The rooms are lovely and big they... more

I'm not one who... more

Just returned back from The Amarante Garden Palms (formerly known I believe as the Tropicana Garden Palms). I must say we have just had a fortnight of absolute bliss, peace and quiet, and fantastic weather. We believe this hotel has just changed management, the hotel was extremely quiet, we asked where all the guests where as to be honest, there... more

Have just returned from a lovely stay at this hotel and very hot for May! Temps reaching 36-42. If you are NOT into snorkelling then this hotel will suit you very well. We are, big time and when we booked the holiday the hotel was part of the Tropicana Group and you could use the sister hotel the Grand Oasis... more

This was our second time at what used to be the Tropicana Garden Palms. The new owners took over in January 08. This hotel was once a Good 4* hotel but over the years went into minor decay as no money was opent on upkeep. When we were there in October 2007 , we rated it as a good 3*,... more
