Help needed!!
After days of searching I have today decided to go to Sharm el Sheikh with my husband and 14 yrs old son for 1 week from the 4th December. We have never been to Egypt before and I had problems finding a flight from Bristol(we live in Wales) together with a really nice hotel- all for a good price. So I decided to book independantly and after checking on Opodo that the 5* Grand Rotana Hotel was available for that week (£421 =tax for 1 room) I went ahead and booked and paid for the the flights with XL.com (3x £161). Then to my horror when I tried to pay on Opodo they are saying there is a broblem booking the hotel so now I am stuck! Do you have any ideas of any other companies that may have availablity at this hotel or any other hotels of a similar standard (I Like the Hyatt Regency but it worked out more expensive when booked separate) I also e-mailed the hotel 2 days ago to check how much they charged to book direct but they haven't replied.
any suggestions will be much appreciated.0 -

Morning,
Canaries will be warmest & dearest! If you compromise & look at, say Costa Del Sol (temps 15-18 degrees) it will be cheaper.
If we say, looked at Half-Board-do you have an approximate max. budget per person for, say s 3* Hotel (if you give me a guide on say 10 nights).
If you'd look at Luton Airport it might make a big difference to the cost. I am on-line till 10-30am today then back on after 4pm-either post here or PM me.
Kind regards,

Thanks both for your suggestions..gave them a try but was unable to book just the hotel...anyway panic over as I have booked the Grand Rotana Hotel via Hotel.com for $105 per night. Just hope it all goes to plan.0
