Good Points

It is 20 minutes from the airport, no Visa is required if you are not traveling outside of the Sharm region, villa type rooms as well as the main hotel, heated swimming pool, pool bar, good selection of food and drink.


Bad Points

No sea views, no beach, just rock, poor hotel bar service, Taxis are a rip off, only pay £10 UK max from airport.


General Comments

Sharm airport is a nightmare, slow unorginized baggage collection and immigration. Take US $ or UK £ to tip small but often, as these currencies are preferred to Egyptian £. It would surprise you how much of a difference in service a $1 tip each day makes to the pool attendant, or to a waiter to serve drink in restaurant, pool bar or even your mini bar stocker. It didn't work in the main hotel bar, where staff were slow and unfriendly but all others were good. On check out, you can extend your check out time for a small fee. Watch the wire free broadband, which worked well in my room but whatever their IT guy did to my laptop caused connection problems back in the UK.

Old people who aren't fit to queue should avoid Sharm, as being old is not an excuse for rude discourteous behaviour at the airport. Being old is not an excuse to queue jump and the English were the worst offenders, allow 2 hours to get to your check-in, 1 hour of which may be queueing just to get in the terminal building, no shade or seating available.
