“Glad to go home”

Park Inn Sharm El Sheikh Resort

1 of 5 stars

4/10 found this review helpful

I have just arrived back from the Park Inn and I first must say that although I did not book this hotel (originally had booked St Georges as had an awful lot of other people) I went with an open mind.

At first glance the hotel looks very pleasant , however, looks can be deceiving. The canteen (sorry but no way can this pass as a restaurant) is loud and tables are not cleaned down properly. If you dont get in early you cant get a table and can spend time wandering around dirty tables whilst your (already lukewarm) food goes cold. If you succeed in finding a table with suitable cutlery etc you then have to try and get a drink, another queue at the bar as there is absolutely no service whatsoever in this hotel even after tipping. If your meal is not cleared away whilst you get your drinks , you may be lucky even to get a coffee cup minus saucer for coffee but , yes you have to queue again. Coffee is left out all day and is normally served stewed with sour milk. Food , well I know you can expect holiday tummy but the food here is not only repetive its the same food rewarmed for every meal, you can expect salad, rice , beef goulash, chicken and fish (with plenty of bones) and veg at each mealtime, I couldnt really see the supposed variation of the theme nights. There were plenty of complaints during my stay. Snacks where served twice daily but where chips and sandwiches and if you werent quick you didnt get any, the where usually gone within 10 minutes.

Animation : a full animation programme is advertised yet nothing happens, try and find the animiation team and if you find the young teenage girls in the hotel then you may be in luck. Whilst we where there the animiation team left. No ball for water volley ball we where told when we asked and the hotel charge for the pool table £4.5 for an hour. Nothing to do for teenagers but a kids club for younger children. No nighttime entertainment at all and the local drinks you get are disgusting. The staff are friendly but are so pulled out , there just isnt enough of them to provide any kind of service. I was ill whilst away and really didnt eat much of the food as it just wasnt cooked properly or plesant or some days I couldnt be bothered queing for 20 mins for what I knew would be provided. This is the worst All Inclusive I have ever encountered. The canteen changed its times and one day we couldnt even get a glass of water between 10am and 10.30 am when the bars opened.

The hotel is in the middle of nowhere with lots of aircraft and road noise and the hotel charge for the shuttle bus into Neema bay , taxis cost approx £14 return and its a good 1/2 hour drive. The shuttle bus also goes at limited times, mainly at evening times. We were very bored and quite sick of the holiday , longing to come home. Not good value and definetly would not recommend.

“Fab Holiday”

Park Inn Sharm El Sheikh Resort

Mar 25, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I weren't supposed to be stayng at this hotel but as the hotel we thought we were staying at had overbooked we were upgraded to the Park Inn by our Travel Agent.
After reading some of the other reviews on this page I was a little wary- For no reason it turned out.
The staff couldn't be more helpful, with excellent English and from what I heard french and Russian too!
The facilities, especially the restaurants, but also our room (which had the biggest bed I've ever seen) and pool areas were always very clean and there was drinks available all day and food at regular intervals as there was snacks inbetween meals by the pool during the day and in the bar on a night.
The food was a little repetitive, which you can expect from an all- inclusive, but there were so many options that you didn't have to have the same thing twice. We were there for just a week but there was a different theme at dinner each night and every mealtime there was something cooked fresh infront of you, whether it be Omlettes and waffles at breakfast (highly recommended) or pasta at lunch.
The water park at the hotel which was fully open was free for guests to use, and we also went to the beach at the Radisson across the road, the sister hotel to the Park, and used the Beach bar there. We also went to the Radisson for a meal on the last night were we recieved 25% discount. We got 2 pizzas and a couple of drinks each for about £14. Bargain!
When you go outside the hotel to any of the shops you will be hassled by the locals to go into their shop and bring them luck, but if you politley but firmly say No thank you, they let you go on your way.
Tip- If you turn left out of the hotel and walk for 10mins to the shops there, they are even cheaper than the ones just outside the hotel.
Enjoy!

“drop in standards with change of name”

Park Inn Sharm El Sheikh Resort

Mar 13, 2008
1/6 found this review helpful

just returned from the park inn after having stayed there last year when it was known as the Golden Resort.Firstly the standards of the hotel have dropped. There are an extra 2oo rooms since we last stayed but there arent any extra staff to cope with demand . Most times in the "canteen" there was a shortage of plates, cups, te, cofee, cutlery etc. In fact on our last 2 nights we went down for dinner and had to resort to going to Mc Donalds as there were no tables left- mind you that was the best meal we had in the entire 2 weeks we were there. The staff are all hard working and pleasant but I found a couple of them to be false and only after tips.The tables in the restaurant are never wiped down properly only dusted with a napkin which is then set back on the table along with any remaining cutlery from whoever has sat there and the table is then set back up for the next person. Also in the restaurant none of the salads are covered and are prone to flies crawling over them. I was in bed with food poisoning for three days and then my husband was in bed for 2 days with the same , thankfully my 2 children never got it. The water slides are fantastic when they are actually on- you have to ask some days for them to be switched on and it was only on the last 2 days after a lot of complaints that they were all on. Be careful when they first switch them on though as brown dirty water comes through the system!!!!!! I could go on and on but I wont. After staying ther last year and having a wonderful time I was very disappointed this year and wont be visiting this hotel again or any other in Sharm come to think of it. Its mainland Spain or the Canarys from now on.

“Sharm visit 18/02/08 to 28/02/08”

Park Inn Sharm El Sheikh Resort

Mar 12, 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

sharm el shiekh park inn hotel- We really enjoyed this holiday we love travelling and try to go on holiday twice a year this time we thought we will try Egypt so we booked the park inn (formely known as the golden resort) after reading some not so good reviews we thought we will still give it a go we went for 10 days and came back on the 28/03/08 we have two daughters aged 5 and 3 they did not want to come back the people are really friendly especially the hotel staff, once you tell them your name they will remember throughout your stay. They really go out of their way for you, a good tip to remember is to tip the waiter in the main restaurant and he will save you a good table. The only excursion we done was the one day trip to cairo to see the pyramids and the museum we set off at 5am and reaced back to the hotel at 11.30pm i would first of all advice that dont go with your tour operator (first choice) because they rip you off and they dont tell you the itinery either so you dont know what is happening until you get there, did not get to spend much time only 40 min at the pyramids and we paid over £500 its better to go with a excursion company from naama bay which there are so many we later found out that a family paid for the same trip around £350 . Going back to the hotel, the only downfall is that the aquapark is new and really nice but the water was freezing cold as they did not want to turn on the heaters in the pools, we did complain to our rep (first choice) and the General manager, but nothing was done about it. We did read some reviews before we went that people had upset stomaches, we were fine, you just have to be carefull what you ate when you are out. We went by the hotel shuttle bus to naama bay which is really nice, they have all the restaurants like pizza hut, mc donalds, kfc, tgi fridays and hard rock cafe, the food in these places is not expensive but cheaper then London. Overall we really enjoyed it the girls really liked it in Egypy, we try not to go back to the same place again but we will definetly go back to sharm, but at another hotel.

“fab place to stay”

Park Inn Sharm El Sheikh Resort

5 of 5 stars
liverpool
Feb 26, 2008
7/7 found this review helpful

This place was truly fab. the hotel doesnt look that amazing but it is a traditional hotel with lots of room and guests. The staff are excellent, every single one. The drinks are all local but this isnt a problem, as there are lot of cocktails to choose from, ask for a Ramsey special he is one of the most hard working staff and lovely very funny. All the staff are superb the two mohamads will go out of their way to please you along with Khalied though he is very queit but fine once you have a chat to him on a one to one. The staff will all go out of their way to help you there is also Sajid who is in the restruant he will make sure you are getting what you want. ok so the food isnt anything special at times some nights its really good. but the menu changes every day so it isnt a problem along with this there is a chef who is on hand to make you whatever you want if you dont like something.

The night life in the hotel is poor but then Nama bay is not far in a taxi and you should deffo not pay more than fifty which is a fiver there are some really nice places to eat out here and its more than half of the price we wold pay here.. think we paid about fifteen pound in hard rock for two meals two starters and this was with drinks!
I would tell anyone to go to to egypt it was a really relaxing holiday though it can be wild in nama bay!I The hotel is s bit out from nama bay though you dont want to be so close as of the noise, if you do stay here you may not need airport transafers its about five minutes from the airport so again only pay a fiver which is fifty pounds .
The staff in this hotel are trutly an asset and they are very friendly they go out of their way ot please you and love children too.The staff here really made my holiday special and memerable;. the one thing i would say is you should tip the staff as they only earn about forty pound a month ,seriously, their cost of living is a lot lower,though not in sharm. I would tell you not to tip them every time but leave it until the end of the holiday and give them a nice tip then we gave a lot of the staff a fiver and some a tenner.
If I ever go back to sharm which i hope to do this is the only place for me!

I hope this helps
