  it is not consider as an hotel

  19 Oct 2013

  I was in a vacation last week with my family and some of my friends and I discover that,it is not a hotel, the rooms are very dirty, no security ,no towels and soap in the bathroom,no cleaned bed mattress or or cleaned sheets the ground next to the pool is very dirty, the general manager has no response and his staff to any problem that we faced, several excuses are unacceptable to any request, in the restaurant you will find something different no cleaned food tables, you can’t taste the dinner, but we could taste the breakfast so the general conclusion that you will spend money for nothing ...... No …No I forgot there is hot water in the bathroom

  Poor service

  25 Dec 2011

  My experience with this hotel issent that great. We asked the reseption if they could call us 6 am to wake us up for our trip to Cairo. We almost overslept becouse they diddent call us as they said they would. When they diddent fill up with toiletpaper,we asked them if they could come with some more with teh next day,and they diddent. Needer did they clean up the room in good order,as remove the used glasses or garbidge ect. We ate only one meal at the hotel,the day before our return back home. The food was okey and the staff was polite. The location of the Hotel was a bit out of the city. It is less than 10 minuttes with taxi to Naama Bay,so not that far. Its full of nightlife and beach ect. We diddent spend much time at the hotel exept sleeping and a few drinks in the hotel bar. The Hotel did have some renovation while we visited,so there was some noise around the reseption,bar and the pool. All in all,i would rather stay another place if i deside to go back to SES.

  cheap and not so cheerful.....

  The first question is, why bother to have internet bookings when you apparently have no system to retrieve & process them at the hotel ? Luckily as I was on a crutch & I was allowed to retrieve and print my booking from the hotel pc !!!!The sign outside the front of the hotel looks like it's been in an earthquake lol...The food has to be eaten to be believed, the main courses were OK, meat and rice and some veg, starters and sweets were an excersize in modern day doing your best with food rationing....eg gravy browning 'soup'. And a sweet largely based on water and sugar, I knew I was eating local tap water with this one. The buffet eveing meal was LE10, about £1.10 for half an hour, which would be enough for any sane individual.I had B&B and found the chefs dog food suprise at breakfast the most inedible thing on the menu, the rest was Ok with eggs and omelete. Although I suspected the ingredients for the omelete were left out overnight in the heat.Yes just about everywhere is in various shades of dirty although my room seemed freshly painted, but I soon remedied that with the bodies of dead mozzies, who look to me to be breeding like crazy in the watered grounds around the hotel.My shower was cold, which was just as well after looking at the beautiful scantily clad eastern european bodies draped around the pool area all day - no sensibilty about muslim customs here......the pool which as everyone says is the coldest known place in sharm, it's colder than the ice rink lol.When I was there the place was full of eastern europeans on package holidays, an interesting social experiment. Once these guys start quaffing the all inclusive booze, one of two things is going to happen, depending on your sensibilities and drunkeness as an individual, you will either be their best friend for the evening or you will be injured........The hotel is well away from uptown sharm both figuratively & geographically, the old town is the nearest place to go, and is a place much more on the edge than the sanitised tourist sharm and much cheaper too. The cheapest food shop is past the expensive mall on the left as you head toward the old city and take the first left, here 5L of water will cost you 5LE. The hotel bazarr is bizarr, and be prepared to wake the shopkeeper up if you want something that he wont have in stock.The massage guys are a comedy duo, asking 40 euros for 45mins initially, but you can haggle with them considerably, and the massage is actually very good. There is cats, food left around, and some renovations going on. The staff respond well to polite english speaking people and are generally friendly as their other guests the Russians merely grunt at them...in pigeon grunting .....would I stay there again ? Once is definately enough in this lifetime.
