DOUBLETREE BY HILTON SHARM EL SHEIKH - SHARKS BAY RESORT

I have been Ill for more of the time since I arrived here than not. Both myself and a travelling companion have had terrible stomach issues which can't be a simple coincidence. The hotel is nice and very quiet around the pools which if your not in bed sick is lovely. ALL of the staff are wonderful, so polite and helpful. There are a fair few Russians here which always spoils it for normal people with manners, these people are SO RUDE ! Entertainment not all that and the restraunt gets very busy but every time we have gone a nice man has found us a table so can't complain. The food does run out pretty quickly and while they fill it up, they need to be faster to keep up with demand. Beach is OK for Snorkeling but as with alot / most places the coral has been largely destroyed. You will see some fish but not as many as years ago due to the coral destruction. If I wasn't so sick I might rate this hotel higher but something isn't right... Just to be clear though the staff here are wonderful, just need to find out why guests are so sick. We have found out we are not the only ones...

Hotel nice Spa experience not good Spa is not part of hotel Dj cash is good Didi is nice Food is good At pool food is a bit cold Quick check in Reception staff nice Pool nice and clean Room nice Need a do not disturb sign at pool Pool staff good Nice and quiet

2nd visit this year and another brilliant experience. Great hotel and everything there to make a perfect family holiday (with our grown up kids). The staff make this hotel come to life and I think the people of Egypt are some of the friendliest there are. Special mention to El Sayed our cleaner and Mohamed Helmy the life guard at the adult pool. Both amazing.

Let me start by saying that this is not Hilton brand hotel So the good points : - checking in was good and easy - we stayed on the mountain side and the pool is a very good size -The room was a very good size - The bathroom was a good size -Ample space by the pool -Enough sun beds Now the bad points - at checkin nothing was explained on what the hotel is offering - Entertainment was poor - Apart from the beer the alcoholic drinks are very poor - Certain bars are not open all day - Drinks have to be paid for after 23:00hrs - Rooms not cleaned properly .Stain marks from day one still there on day 4 - Food was cold and the dishes never changed much for breakfast lunch and dinner ,it was very repetitive - Drinks served in cheap plastic cups -it is definitely not an all Inclusive hotel as certain things such as a game of pool had to be paid for , snack bars were not free - The buffet restaurant gets very busy and if not early hard to get a table that is clean Overall said to say that Hilton have endorsed this hotel and it’s definitely not a 4star hotel and food is not good at all -

Good hotel, excellent staff, entertainment very poor, food acceptable as catering for the masses.. Word of warning DO NOT have a pedicure at the onsite salon, my husband did they cut his foot, despite lots of bleeding he has been in hospital since our return on Intravenous antibiotics for a severe blood and skin infection IGAS. After they realised they had cocked up by cutting his foot the staff would not leave us alone- pain the backside when all you want to do is relax.
