The saddest thing is the food - I have never seen such tasteless food in Egypt, even in hotels half the price. AND! There are no fish here, just like in a joke - THERE IS NO FISH HERE! Those. it seems to be, and as many as two species. One smelly boiled tastes a little better than boiled onions and the second is fried river roach from 10.000 bones, which is proudly called "grilled fish" here, neither one nor the other is simply impossible to eat. The rest of the food is just from the series - you won't go hungry. Otherwise - large rooms, good cleaning, and there is a weak Wi-Fi which is barely enough for a viber or telegram. But it's good that there is at least some kind of Internet). And the bartender on the beach - makes quite a decent pina colada, but you have to ask for it. A confusing area filled with buildings like herrings in a barrel and the concept of "all inclusive - but not all. "
An interesting territory, there are flowers, a lot of greenery, and many large and small bronze statues, there are beautifully trimmed trees, and everyone is different.
The room is ordinary, as it should be in such a hotel - clean, there is everything you need - a safe, a mini-bar, a kettle with a set of tea and coffee. The mini-bar is empty, you can put bottled water there, which is given free of charge in any bar. I liked the large balcony where you can sit in the evening if you don't feel like going anywhere.
The food is tasty, although the variety has become less compared to precovid times. Loved the jalapeno spicy omelette for breakfast and grilled vegetables for dinner. Hot dishes are put on the cook's plate, the queue for a hot person is 2-3. He picks cold dishes and bread himself. Drinks are served by waiters.
The beach is sandy. There are a lot of sunbeds, enough for everyone, but they are quite cramped. The entrance to the sea is only from the pier, the depth is 5-10 meters. There is a large reef, a lot of different fish, you must take a mask and snorkel. There is also scuba diving.
Pros - location - close to the airport and very close to the Soho quarter, good reef.
Cons - although the minus is not for everyone - there is no entrance to the sea from the shore.
Of course, I had to pay for breakfast for $ 7, since we were very hungry from the road.
With grief, we managed in half to change into a spa on the beach (as the homeless wandered), as at least somehow pass the hour before settling.
When settling in, the most interesting thing began, we were given three rooms next to each other in building 7. The rooms are in a terrible state, the ceiling near the front door is swollen from flooding with protruding wires, in the bathroom there is a shower cabin with a fungus, a pulled curtain weighs, the furniture is pulled, worn out and molded, the balcony door DOES NOT CLOSE AT ALL !! ! That is, come in from the street whoever you want! Three beds, although all in pairs, without children - why did they not understand?
Of course, we went to swear at the reception, they began to tell us that with our food class, the settlement was only in building 7! By the way, this was a lie, since the couple, who arrived a day later from us, settled immediately in building 5
So, then there was a meeting with a representative of Join Up Katya, a lot of time passed until we got to the point that we would change the food system by paying an additional $ 240, we were relocated to better class rooms and additional imported drinks and meals in a la carte restaurants were available to us
At the bars, 90% of the bartenders are frostbitten, you can’t interrogate them. Most likely, this is such a tactic of the hotel to save money.
We went three times to a la carte, after a fish restaurant, my husband and girlfriend were poisoned with high fever, vomiting and diarrhea. The second time we were in Italian - it passed. But for the last time we went and everyone's stomachs were seething on the next day.
In general, the vacation was not successful and this was for 50 thousand UAH ((it's a shame and sad. Savoy charlatans who ruined our vacation. I'm not an evil person, but I will be forced to distribute this information about the hotel so that other tourists save themselves and their children about a similar situation .
Polite helpful and friendly staff who from the first minute of your stay at the hotel helps to make your stay even more comfortable (special thanks to the girls Violeta and Anna at the reception)
Wonderful food, delicious food and drinks, excellent service in all bars and restaurants without exception, all orders and requests are fulfilled immediately and very high quality (especially I would like to note the fish restaurant where, in addition to dinner, you can also have a great lunch thanks to Essam Mahmoud manager and other guys, the restaurant Caligula with steaks cooked on hot stones, Luxor restaurant with unforgettable lamb and all other places). Although it is very very difficult to single out something because everything is at a very high level everywhere.
Yes, the Internet is rather weak, but it is weak throughout Egypt and, in principle, it is not so necessary during such a holiday.
We did not want to leave and if we have the opportunity we will definitely return to Royal Savoy.
Once again, many thanks to all the staff for our wonderful holiday and development, prosperity and many good holidaymakers for Royal Savoy!
I advise and recommend THIS HOTEL.
The choice is made - The Royal Savoy Sharm El Sheikh.
Egypt met us with bright sun and warm smiles. 10 minutes on the bus from the airport and we were hospitably greeted by Royal Savoy staff, who surrounded us with unobtrusive delicate attention throughout the rest and answered all questions: "no problem. "
Enjoying the views of the blooming well-groomed territory, we are going to meet the Red Sea. We lower our face in a mask and soar above the silent underwater landscape. Corals line up in bizarre compositions, and it seems that you are alone in this unreal underwater alien world. Sometimes the most curious of the fish are in front of the mask and we look at each other with surprise and interest.
Lunch time. We go to the restaurant "Sea life island" and enjoy the sea view and excellently prepared dishes. The kitchen of the hotel pleased with the variety and beautiful presentation of dishes. Afternoon relaxation near the pool with heated water, fresh fruit cocktails.
In the evening, gourmet dinner in one of the a la carte restaurants. Soho Square, singing fountain, bars, shops, shows - everyone will find something to have fun here.
Royal Savoy means fresh flowers in the room, beautiful well-groomed territory, gourmet cuisine, individual attention and comfort!
Arriving in a cold winter, we will keep memories of a warm spiritual rest, a high level of service and a benevolent attitude towards the guests of the Royal Savoy Hotel.
Dear hotel staff, please accept our gratitude and wishes for prosperity! Royal Savoy - you are the pearl of our travels. See you! See you soon!
Settlement: a family with a child was settled faster, the rest not earlier than 12-00. Rooms: large, a little tired, I advise you to take a sea view, good view, large balcony.
Nutrition: they took food with them to the child, there are constantly boiled vegetables and chicken, so chopping it up could make mashed potatoes. For adults, the food is sufficient.
Service: not intrusive, not in a hurry, Egyptian service, everything is only for baksheesh.
Ala carte restaurants: normal, you can walk around, making an appointment is not convenient, but not a problem.
Beach and sea: the beach is good, the sea is a fairy tale.
Territory: beautiful, good swimming pools, one outside heated.
Bottom line: a good hotel by Egyptian standards, was twice, if I go back to Egypt, probably there.
Now for food: we took S-class (although expensive, but it's worth it) First: whatever drinks you want and alcoholic and not, except for champagne, and I'll list a little: fresh orange, mango, strawberry, kiwi, guava , Hibiscus. Alcohol e-whiskey RED LEYBL, martini, gin, imported beer. Secondly: they don’t put any identification rubber tags on their hands (from which my son and I didn’t get pimples for a month in the previous hotel) They gave decent food stuffed quail, seafood, meat and fish all the time, fruits are standard.
But most of all, I was pleased with the fish restaurant on the beach, in which you also have "all inclusive". Red, white grilled fish, king prawns, various kebabs. And what soups !! ! Yes, and selected fruits for dessert.
The room is standard, there is a kettle, coffee and tea. Water every morning for 1.5 liters per person in your refrigerator. Cleaning 2 times, for $ 1 they twisted swans and mint chocolate on your pillow! no (aerobics, volleyball, nin pong, evening show for children then boring for adults) The hotel is more suitable for a relaxing holiday, and if you go to Naama Bay for fun, a free bus or taxi 5-10 $ 10 minutes and you are in a party! An abundance of cafes, discos, various shops.
I am writing a review and everything is before my eyes! The vacation was a success, when you want to come back again! What we plan to do at the end of October !!!
Feel free to go - you won't regret it! There will be questions with a good answer.
