“Sharm El Sheikh is just 'OK'. ”

Written on: 18/11/2010 by glenc (288 reviews written)

Sharm El Sheikh is just 'OK'.

I wouldn't say its a bad resort, but it didn't really grip me.

The hotel we stayed in was very nice and we were right on some of the best coral reef in the region, so diving / snorkelling was fantastic.

The bars and restaurants were all OK, but you do get hassled a fair bit which puts you off.

Its a pretty featureless place overall - but if you get out into the surrounding area its a little more interesting.

If you want a holiday where you're just based at... (read more)

“Sharm airport is a nightmare, slow unorginized baggage...”

Written on: 02/04/2007 by 161160 (13 reviews written)

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... (read more)

Written on: 27/03/2007 by deggs1 (1 review written)

I stayed at the Sierra hotel in Sharm which is a part of the savoy hotel albeit one star rating lower and further from the beach
The hotel itself is a breath of fresh air. the staff are great and will endeavour to make your stay as wonderful as they can, if you give them a small tip here and there, they will almost be your personal assistant
the hotels pool areas were lovely. there are several to choose from to suit your needs, each has a bar with attentive staff.
The beach is a short walk... (read more)

Written on: 13/04/2006 by Lou Grant (15 reviews written)

Sharm El Sheikh is one of those resorts that you will never feel unwanted, as the services of this resort are second to none. The management are fully professional, the kind that you never see, but you do see the luxury of their hospitality exuding in everything you see and enjoy. The beaches, swimming, diving, Golf and total daytime leisure facilities, as well as night life and the wonderful restaurants that serve exquisite cuisine in all restaurants, can stand out in any part of the world....

“SHARM EL SHEIKH is a relatively new Asian resort...”

Written on: 13/04/2006 by ivan1890 (23 reviews written)

SHARM EL SHEIKH is a relatively new Asian resort situated on the tip of the Sinai peninsular between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Arabia and is approximately 320 minutes flying time from Bristol International Airport - one of several U.K. airports connecting to this resort.

The resort's airport is located approximately 20 minutes drive from a resort which effectively comprises several thousand acres of imported very fine gravel laid over rock, with the entire district surrounded by... (read more)

Just arrived back from one week in Sharm El Sheikh - stayed at Sonesta Beach Resort about 1km from Naama Bay. Beware if using the private beach - the sea bed is very rocky therefore buy some beach shoes or your legs will be ripped to shreds. Always travel with a male companion - I went with my mum and we were pestered to death by the locals offering to buy me with camels!
To be honest you could have been anywhere - you don't get the feel of Egypt unless you travel out to Cairo or Luxor.
Beware of ordering chicken in the restaurants as it is most probably pigeon -as we were unlucky to find out one night.
The centre of Naama Bay is a bit like Blackpool at night which is a shame - still not too many lager louts although it was only April.
Sadly we arrived home about 2 hours after the bombs in Dahab which was a bit perturbing - very sad indeed and I just hope that there aren't any more to follow.
I did enjoy my stay in Sharm but would probably not go back - although I would like to explore the more traditional parts of Egypt some day.

It is very sad when a culture equates women with ownership and believes that everything can be bought! (No, I refuse to mention religion). It makes one think that maybe in England it is not so bad being unable to secure a plumber for £500. on a Sunday! Did you rate my review? No-one ever seems to bother and this does not inspire one to write more.
