    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.

    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 ...

    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 mount ...
