Mar 2012, joyron

just returned from Viva Sharm, what can I say? The whole place needed a lot of maintenance and attention. Often at breakfast even if you were there for 7.30a.m(which we were) there were no cups when they were brought they were chipping and not always clean. We often had to... more

Well overall, I must say I have enjoyed my holiday in Egypt. There were a few 'hitches'. I ended up having an argument with the pool guy because he blamed me for marking a towel that wasn't even mine, therefore he took my sunbed away. But when I threatened to speak to his... more

I booked a week all inclusive at the Falcon Inn last minute and departed, I hope, with an open mind. It was last minute cheap and cheerful and I adjusted my expectations to match. The room was fine, the pool was fine, I eventually realised the secret to getting a sun bed... more

I read a lot of negatives reviews about Viva Sharm and I am lost as to why! I had 15 years in the forces and have travelled to many places I also skydive and scuba dive and have again travelled to many places. Viva Sharm to me was very good to many places I have stayed. I... more

I and my husband went on a holiday for the very first time to sharm. By the look of the hotel and the rating we decided to stay in Falcon Viva. The problems we faced: 1. Water problem from the day we checked in to the day we checked out 2. Saff lied the water problem would... more

On arrival, we were put in the 'sister' hotel over the road, Falcon Hills, smaller and not what we'd booked. Clean enough, repetitive food, and if you were a young Italian or Russian girl, very attentive staff! I'm not, so tended to get the other end of the scale. Put in... more

This hotel was as basic as it comes, the biggest shock was the colour of the water is BROWN. This is due to the recycling of the water and its disgusting and made me and my husband not shower on our arrival at the hotel. Some staff are unfriendly, speak bad english and try... more

Disappointed !!
We stayed at the Falcon Inn Viva from 13th – 27th September 07, on an all inclusive basis. Overall we were a little disappointed with our stay, after the hotel was sold to us through an internet site as a good 4 star hotel (first choice sell it’s a 3 star). From my experience I would rate this hotel as a good 2star / poor 3star. There are a few areas worthy of criticism. The hotel in general is in need of a little TLC, an example being there are many broken tiles in the pool, crumbling concrete on the walkways around the pool... more
A fantastic place to visit!!!
ok so there are numerous reviews on here from one scale to another, so just to add one more to the bunch heres mine. We had an absolutely fantastic time here!!! For starters we were given what must have been the best room in the whole hotel, Room 101. It was ground floor, right next to the bar/pool and overlooked the pool! the room itself was spotlessly clean, tidy, a good size, with a good fridge, fantastic air con, and a fantastic daily maid service. Staying all inclusive we really made the most of it. The food was very good, as long as... more
dont listen to bad reviews!
thought id write a review because i was a little bit worried about going after reading the reviews on here! Me and my boyfriend (both 20) went for 2 weeks B&B got back on the 24th Sept. The hotel was a bit out of the way but only a 10 minute taxi away from Na'ama Bay (costing £2.50 one way) which we went to most nights to eat. People we spoke to at the hotel said the all inclusive meals were a bit repetative but were nice enough. Yes you get hassled a bit in Na'ama but nothing too bad just say no thanks and carry on walking, not... more
Had a fab time.
I have just come back from staying at Falcon Inn for a week on a half board basis with 2 of my friends. We had a great time, and the hotel was well worth the price we paid. The bar/reception staff were not overally friendly but nice enough and the cleaners were fantastic - I would rate the cleanliness 5star. The food was OK, and we were glad we went HB as we ate in the hotel every night. If you are not fussy then there will definitely be something for you. I spent most of time there living off pasta, which is a god send as you know... more
Great hotel, ignore the complainers!
We have just returned from the Viva Sharm, Falcon inn and had a great holiday, the hotel is quite small and is ideal for a nice relaxing holiday, for people who want to chill out by the pool or use as a base for site seeing. Food - we stayed all inclusive and found the food to be of a good quality and good variation, admitting that after 2 weeks it can get a bit repetative but we ate out in Namma Bay a couple of times, although would advise avoiding "The Hard Rock Cafe" we had meal there in the first week and the food was terrible, we... more
Dont listen to the bad reviews
Me and my friend stayed at the falcon inn 7/8-14/8. i read the reviews before we left and was a little worried. we arrived just before 11pm the receptionist were very friendly and we were shown to our room. our room 101 it was a lovely pool view. it was very spacious . there was a mini fridge which we left bottled water in. the bathroom was large too. the only thing i didnt like was the yellow water coming from the taps but i had been warned that that is what its like in egypt. we had to pay for drinks after 11 but you could still... more
Great value for money.
I found the reviews I read on here very helpful so thought I would write one of my own. My girlfriend and I stayed for a week and I really can't fault this hotel considering how cheap it was. The rooms were a really nice size and in cood condition. They were cleaned to a very high standard every day and the fact you have a fridge in your room's a godsend. It was 45 degrees C while we were there so this and the good air con were a must. On our last night the air conditioning broke as we were getting ready to go out for a meal. On... more
A great hotel! Please dont believe the bad reviews!!
First of all i want to start this review by saying please dont believe the bad reviews on this website. I went to egypt with my mum and brother and had a brillant time. This is my first time to egypt and i was a little apprehensive as i had heard loads of bad storied about sharm el sheikh. All i can say is im glad i did not listen to them. The staff at this hotel are wonderfull they will help you with everything and it isnt just because the expect a tip. The generally care. Im blonde and 19 so i was obviously worried i would be hassled by... more
Terrible!!
Well to be honest i dont really want to repeat everything that all the other review's state, but to be truthful this hotel was very decieving from what the pictures show. Me and my husband went there for our honeymoon and we were both very dissapointed and bored, dont get me wrong its perfect for relaxing but there simply is nothing to do, especially for kids! The taxi men are very nerve racking and i was on the edge of my seat the whole journey to Namma bay, and would never of considered putting my little boy in the taxi! I once Bit... more
Stayed July 17th - 24th. Wouldn't go back
We won’t be going back to this hotel. We will go back to Sharm but to a 5 star next time. They said this was 4, but I would say it's at best a 2. We were told by friends who live there and are dive instructors that most hotels are at least one star less than what they say. The Falcon Viva was more like an average motel. The worse part for us was not having a beach. And the pool is allot smaller than the photos make it look. It's also out in the middle of nowhere so you need to take a taxi to get anywhere at all.... more
