My husband and I stayed at the Grand Sharm looking for a relaxing cheap get away in the sun (£994 for 2 people with Teletext Holidays). We are in our mid 20’s, fit and healthy and probably only catch the odd cold once every 3 years! Unfortunately after 4 days my husband... more

My wife and I have just returned from our best holiday yet, we booked through Longwood holidays and have to say our rep Maxine was great. When we arrived our room was not ready and we had to wait quite a while, plus there was a mix up with a meal. When we told our rep the... more

Wonderful holiday, excellent hotel, facilities, rooms, food and staff all 5-star plus. Would definitely go again, peaceful surroundings and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Avoid using the Bedouin taxis, or agree a price outside the car from Sharks Bay to town... more

This hotel definitely deserved five stars. It was beautiful, clean and had the most charming staff throughout. Our bedroom on the second floor had good views of the pool and sea and was reasonably well managed. We always had replacement towels and sheets but sometimes... more

I have just returned, literally, from the Grand Rotana and feel completely refreshed and relaxed - what a lovely hotel. The staff could not have been more courteous and happy to be of service. The views from my immaculate room were absolutely stunning. The swimming pool... more

My husband & I stayed at this luxurious hotel in October 2005, I can honestly say that after 6 trips to Sharm in the past 2 years Rotana Grand is the most impressive hotel. Leather everything, amazing rooms with excellent views of the pool or the beach. We stayed before... more

Had a wonderful 2 week holiday at the Grand Rotana. The hotel is massive and so clean. The staff are polite and friendly. The food was always nice. Although sometimes, the breakfast items could be a bit cold and there were a lot of flies in the restaurant in the mornings.... more

We did NOT have a 5 star experience here. When our room had multiple problems they moved us to another room. The room they moved us to was full of strong poisonous fumes. They had just sprayed for bugs! I became suddenly very ill and needed medical help immediately.... more

Great Experience
I recently spent 7 nights at the Grand Rotana Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. When we arrived the staff were curteous and the check-in was efficient. Welcome drinks were offered within 3 minutes of our arrival. My room was of a very high standard and had a contemporary decor and balcony. Every room in the hotel overlooks the breath taking pool and the sea. Every week the hotel organise a drinks evening where all alcohol (including wine) are served free of charge along with canapes, to capture guest views. We had a wonderful time on... more
Fabulous Hotel!
One of my lasting memories of this hotel was arriving late at night and driving through the forest of palm trees that were lit up to reach reception, it looked truly magical. If you arrive during the day be sure to go up there at night to see it for yourselves. Our room was in block 4 quite a walk from the main areas of the hotel but the staff had 'golf buggies' on standby if you needed a lift! The room itself was spotlessly clean and the furnishings were nice, the bathroom was all marble with a part frosted window around the... more
A lovely hotel with issues
We've just spent a week at the hotel and found it to be of a reasonable standard, it does have a few issues. The look of the hotel is stunning; the escalators (4) take you from reception to the pool/accommodation area. The journey is reminiscent of the tombs at Luxor. Golf carts are available too. The room was excellent and overlooked the sea, the room was the larger club room, and unfortunately reception didn't tell us about the club reception area we could have used. The room was clean and spacious with a seating area; a large... more
great hotel with great views
just returned from a weeks holiday in this hotel. the hotel is very well decorated with lots of lovely colur schemes the pool is MASSIVE but a bit cold in march the beach area is stunning the view from the beach is wonderful. all the staff could not have been more helpful and all were very pleasent. the outside area of the hotel was lovely with loads of palm trees and very nice landscaping. the rooms are very well decorated with pastel colours ans the shower screen is half clear glass and you can see the sea whilst having a shower. the... more
Wonderful hotel and location
We have just returned after a week (16/3 - 23/3) at the Grand Rotana and it was fantastic. The hotel upgraded all guests to beach front apartments and the apartments themselves are stunning. The hotel was immaculate and very clean, the staff could not do enough to help and were exremely friendly. The swimming pool is huge and got warmer with every day. The food was excellent, there was so much choice for breakfast, cereals/fruit/cheeses/meats/cooked breakfasts everything you could want. We were only B&B but we ate in the Metzulana restuarant... more
Excellent hotel
This is an excellent hotel. The whole experience is first class. Rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean, breakfasts second to none. The staff are all very helpful and friendly and a credit to the management. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who likes 5 star comfort and service. A must is to snorkel from the hotels jetty..... tropical fish every colour imaginable. We would not hesitate to return. more
The best thing about this hotel is the view and the pool
Myself,my husband and my 21 year old daughter stayed at this hotel 13/02-20/02 in two rooms with adjoining doors. We choose this hotel after reading the reviews on this site and wished we had'nt. All I can say is the reviewer's have never stayed in a TRUE 4/5 star hotel, which is what most travel ops are advertising this as. Half of the facilities at the hotel are not open, the two restaurants that are operational are at best terrible, particularly the main one, it is dirty and the food quality and choice are poor, we ate in it once and... more
Glorious Grand Rotana
We enjoyed a superb week of luxury last week 12-19th March 2006. The Rotana only fully available for travel agents as of this week will surely become one of the Best hotels in Sharm, already well established with a good rank here it will climb into the top 10 before long! Courteous staff from arrival with personal greetings from the Desk Manager. Rooms very well furnished AND comfy with most enjoying superb views of the beach and Tiran Island and/or the Pool complex which is superbly thought out with a water slide although a... more

beautiful but a problem
Try a different resort to avoid difficulties. The views were nice but the service was terrible. Some of the staff was rude and unkind to guests. They made me quite angry when at leaving they attempted to charge me for charges that were not ours. They could not find my signature, After shouting exchange, they took the charges off but it showed me that they are CHEATS! BOGUS CHARGES! I believe the charges were completly invented. There was red lipcolor and bitemark on the bread they brought to our table! They reuse food?!<br... more
