I went to gardenia plaza with my family last august, was pleasant although food was not up to standards. However pancakes for breakfast were lovely! My sister actually got very dry skin to this day we are still unsure whether that was due to the pool. Average sized rooms,... more

Just back from the Gardenia Plaza, first impressions were very good but the reality was dirty smelly rooms, we were moved to a slightly better pool view room after complaining but although sheets and towels were changed every day, the mattresses were badly stained. the... more

My friend and I went to the Gardenia in August and was absolutely appalled by our whole stay!! To name a few issues were - excrement in the pools, cups being taken out of bins and given back to you, inedible food etc etc!!! We have been furiously trying to claim some... more

Nov 2010, Stoney01

I have just returned from a 2 week holiday to Sharm and was booked into Gardenia Plaza for 2 weeks on AI basis. To say this hotel is horrendous is an understatement!! Flies covered everything, the "restarant" was like a "works canteen" with jostling and rude agressive... more

This was ONCE a beautiful hotel... Its now a little rough around the edges, and the blame for this must rest with the Senior management. we have just returned on 4th may 2010 after a 10 night stay. We found nearly all the staff to be curteous towards us especially the... more

Apr 2010, Suf

3 readers found this review helpful

The receptionists were not helpful
The food wasn't clean and was cold when eating it
The place smelt of petrol
The slides were suposed to be free of charge but instead yoiu had to pay 4 L.E to go on them(money makers)
Crowded with rude, fat russians
The only good thing was the kids club

We went to Gardenia Plaza at the end of January and loved it! The weather was really nice for the time of year and definately a welcome break from the snow and cold of England. The rooms were massive and very clean, with everything you need in them. The main pool was a... more

I only hope you have not booked yet from oxfordnurseuk
I have never had to complain about a holiday before and am currently waiting to hear back from our holiday provider. On arrival to the Dominia Gardenia resort we were not expected and had to wait 45 minutes with numerous phone calls to Britain on our part, to get our holiday firm to e-mail our booking reference. Once we were finally shown to our room we noticed that there was another door attached to our room. This door was locked and we soon realised that it entered an ajoining room. At the weekend we were woken at 2am with our... more
the worst hotel ever from adamant7
This hotel was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in when we arrived our rooms were not ready, they put is aroom which was not fit to put pigs in,it was dirty there was no bed for my children, my husband had to sleep on a put me up bed,and when he lay down onit he fell through the middle the chains were broken, the bathroom was filthy, they put us another room which was ok, but the pool was filthy and dangerous, the children slides were placed over stairs where people walked into the pool so the kids kept hitting into people.The food in the... more
Not for British from SunnyStirling
The hotel looks great on its web site, The reality is a bit diffrent, the hotel is in the middle of no where and is a taxi or bus journey away from anything. The food was catered for the locals only with no variety to what was on offer (Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner). Not all drinks and bars are accesibly to AIl guests (there is a extra fee for this locally). The cleanliness of the hotel and pools in general was very poor. I did not take advantage of the all inclusive holiday which I paid for and ended up eating and drinking out in Namma Bay... more
A Holiday is what you make it! from NorfolkAmar
Date of Stay 21-28 Aug 2007 On arrival at the Hotel/Resort we must admit our hearts did sink slightly, it was not what we expected after seeing the lovely pictures which had been posted on the Internet.The Resort is in the middle of nowhere - it is situated approx 15 mins from Na'ama Bay itself. The cost of a cab to visit Na'ama was on average 25 EP (Egyptian Pounds) approx £2.50. It is advisable to agree on a price with the driver before you get in the cab. If you do get a cab from the Airport you should pay no more than 50 EP... more
Worst hotel ever from mickey088
We booked a two week stay at this nightmare hotel. The pool was filty, slim gathered on the bottom. It was so rough on the bottom that the children cut their feet. On one accasion someone was sick behind the bar. The vomit made its way into the pool and no-one came to clean it up. We saw rats in the bar area near the kitchen. When we bought this to the attention of the hotel staff they just laughed. All inclusive does not mean all inclusive. It means two bars and the main restaurant. We ordered room service as we were so sickened... more
Its not that bad.....! from FineLady
Having read previous reviews after we'd booked this hotel, we were really not looking forward to it but went with an open mind! I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised! I've paid alot more to stay in far worse hotels! Yes, it's full of egyptians and Russians but they keep themselves to themselves, yes you get plastic cups around the pool - but how loudly would you complain about broken glass in the pool???? Our room was great, although fairly basic, they staff made animals out of the towels everyday and sprinkled flowers on the bed,... more
Beware Egyptian Timeshare not for the British! from baileyrooney
We stayed 11/08/07 - 25/08/2007 I've stayed in hotels from 2* to 5* and I can confirm that this hotel is a 2*. I wasn't expecting the Ritz knowing it was Egypt but thought I'd be safe booking a 4* and in theory it would probably be a 3*, how wrong I was! I was ill on my third day with severe stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. I have never felt so ill luckily we met a great group of brits whilst there and they advised me go to the Pharmacy where I was prescribed some antibiotics to clear the gastroenteritis bug, I did improve... more
Shocking from Hayley26
Well what can I say, warning this hotel is an egyptian time share and so the customs and practices adhere to standards considerably lower than that seen in the UK, which ok fair enough you are in Egypt not Blackpool. However the state of the hotel is not reflected in the spectacular website, the hotel appears to be under construction including the restaurant which has rubble and leaking air con units next to food preparation areas. All inclusive does not mean all inclusive, it means 2 shacks to drink from and food in the restaurant. If... more
Worst AI ever from VicksUk
Stay: 23rd June – 8th July Warning: As with comments it is dependent on the personalities of the individual. Watch these reviews, some might be written by the hotel themselves or locals trying to big it all up, but the general consensus from all the reviews is DON’T GO THERE!!!!. One thing that I have to mention is that after reading all the posts before writing this review, is that times have changed, and some of the issues mentioned in the posts we did not experience, such as the living insects in the pool, and the mice... more
Had a great time from Manxman4
Was a bit worried when we read privious reviews but couldn't find fault staff were great more than helpful couldn't get the kids out of the pools. Food was ok not british but if I wanted british food I would have gone to Blackpool. Will be staying here again.
