Hi



Hiltonia is the best in my opinion but they have a waiting list.

Sheraton resort is awful, dont bother

Inter Cont nice but over priced

Beach Rotana ok

Emirates Palace spectacular but not sure about membership

ENjoy

The new Shangri la is very nice but a bit far out of town

What about the British Club? Surely that should get a mention?

British Club has a waiting list of 1000 persons currently - although very very good value (disclaimer, I'm a member!). Worth making an application if you are single or a couple without children.

When we applied last year, we were told that the club has a certain amount of spaces per child based on age ranges, if that age range is full, you're shagged for membership. Therefore without children, it makes life simpler (so we were told).

FYI, membership fees for renewal are around 2000 Dhs per person (adults) and a one off membership joining fee of 2500 Dhs. All details at www.the-club.com. Does anyone know how this compares with the other beach clubs?
