“terrible restaurant!”

Sol Sharm

0/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Sol Sharm for 2 nights as the hotel we had booked (Melia Sinai) had overbooked. Whilst i found the rooms to be just as nice as the 5* Melia Sinai there is a BIG difference in food and drinks and the overall service. The setting is nice, although we prefer smaller hotels and this hotel is not on the beach like Melia Sinai. The restaurant however is simply awful. It was constantly busy and it felt like a cattle market. The food was horrible and you had to get your own drinks which are served in plastic cups. The wine is disgusting and the whole experience of eating was more of a chore. The choice of drinks on the AI is a lot more limited than at the Melia Sinai. We stayed here for 2 nights only and couldn't wait to leave. We realise that this is only a 4* hotel and therefore it is difficult to compare directly with a 5*, however i cannot stress enough - if you are going to Sharm el Sheikh spend the extra and go to the Melia Sinai which, although not without its own faults is a far superior hotel and the service and dining experience is in a different league.

Have just returned from a weeks all inclusive holiday at the sol sharm hotel and quite honestly couldnt fault it at all.

The staff are so friendly and couldnt do enough for you. The rooms are spotless and the food, although it is quite repetative is very edible. There is something for everyone!

There is daytime activities at the pool ranging from yoga to water arobics and even a spot of bellydancing, You never really get bored. Then at night the entertainment team put on a brilliant show.

All in all a fantastic holiday.

Would definitely recommend this hotel!!.

“Great value for money”

Like many others we went to the Sol Sharm with more than a few doubts after reading some of the reviews. I have to say for the price we paid we were both delighted with all aspects of our stay. The room was fine , food was ok abit samey but isnt it always with all inclusive.The pasta station was great! The staff were friendly and helpful. If your looking for a restful holiday, with fabulous weather and lovely surroundings this is the place for you. If you want Tenerife go to Tenerife!! We had no problems at all. My husband and I are extremely well travelled and this was our 4th trip to Egypt our second to Sharm, last time we stayed at the Concorde el Salam which was very good but cost around £500. more and to be honest we thought that the Sol Sharm was much better value for money. There are activities if you are so inclined, but if you are looking for an exciting nightlife go elsewhere.We went for a quiet restful break and that is what we got. Brilliant.( Take a hairdrier) Pool towels are provided

“Fantastic, couldn't be better”

Sol Sharm

May 2, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

This hotel was more than we hoped.
Since the first day until last.
People were fantastic. Great food and entertainment.
I don't understand what people want more, perhaps they're too fussy and not humble enough (like we saw some examples)...
For me and my fiancee this hotel wasn't just 4 stars but 5.
The hotel is 10min walk to the beach and for those that are a bit lazy there's a bus.
There's lots of sport activities during the day around the pool and at night the same talented people entertain the guests with their humour. At 11pm the hotel have a separate pavillion where you can have a drink, smoke shish and dance.
There are days that you just relax next to the pool bar and enjoy the sun, but if you are a bit adventurous there's always scuba diving courses, first on the pool and then on the sea, and discover the beautiful reefs.
Inside the hotel there's also an shopping arcade where the staff are very polite, friendly and you can buy some presents.
If you want to go to the nearest city "naama bay" don't forget to bargain for the souvenirs with the local dealers, and prepare yourself for being "chased" in a good way.
You can also, depending on your tour guide book some fantastic experiences, such as: Camel Riding, dinner in the desert, star gazing, watch the fabulous sunset, quad bike and so on... there's plenty to do.
We can only say thank you so much for everything. We had a great time.

“ACE!!!”

Sol Sharm

5 of 5 stars
S.Yorkshire

5/5 found this review helpful

I got back from Sol Sharm a few weeks ago now but it was brill. I panicked so much as a lot of the earlier reviews moaned about food and service etc. I'm quite a fussy person with food and was ill with food poisoning when i came back from Dominican Republic last year so i was worried it was going to happen again.

The food was brill, obviously don't go expecting them to stick on proper English food and chips every day. Breakfast was good, fresh pancakes, omlettes, pastries, cereal and then they catered for everybody so there was meat, cheese, salad and then some cooked stuff. At lunch they did chicken, beef and fish, there everyday but cooked differently so it wasn't the same and again with fresh salad, pasta and rice salad, soup, fresh bread rolls, fresh pasta made with your own choice of sauce and ingredients....loads really, and then same for dinner more or less but there is always more than one thing your going to like!

The pool was freezing! It's fresh water so they don't heat it and unless you've got the hottest day in the world then just stick to sunbathing! The sea is warm and your can access the beach either by walking down - takes about 2 minutes, or they put on a shuttle bus which we hopped on going back up to the hotel coz it's up a slight hill but really it takes 2 seconds to get back so it's lazy really!

The beach has a jetty which you can see from photos and it's great coz you can see loads of sea life - there is one fish that's alwyas in the same place with a purple mask and yellow lips, will have to post a photo and loads of swordfish-well they looked like swordfish, but smaller! it's great though coz you can go swimming off the jetty - there's steps going in to the sea. Sunbeds and drinks at the bar are also free down there if you're all inclusive-just so you know.

The entertainment staff at the hotel were good, some of the shows were excellent-they are really good performers, although they mime all the songs some of the choreographng is excellent!

Me and my boyfriend only went on one trip - it's booked through the dive centre next to the hotel pool and you go snorkelling/scuba diving around different sites in the bay - there's a really cool ship wreck too. I only went in once-as soon as i stuck my head in the water the 1st thing i saw was the biggest sting ray i have ever seen laying on the bottom of the water! There was also a lot of jelly fish but they are non-stinging so don't worry!

We also went in to Naama Bay a couple of nights, it's so busy all the time! beware of blokes wanting to help you cross the road at the taxi drop off point-they just want cash and even though zebra crossings mean nothing to cars - we were quite capable of making it accross without getting run over! try smoking a shish pipe...loads of really fruity flavours and it's not drugs like a lot of people thought! Although we didn't eat there, there are so many restaurants on naama bay beach and they all look lush! It doesn't cost a lot to get to naama bay from the hotel can't remember how much but it's easy enough, there's a taxi rank in the hotel reception area.

Erm what else, can't remember, oh yeh, they have a ping pong table, how ace is that!

Anyway, if you want to ask me anything then send me an email and i'll answer all your questions.
