I was dissapointed with a number of things regarding this holiday but to keep it brief, if you are an All Inclusive fan as I am, then this place is NOT for you! They really do not have the 'All Inclusive' setup, in fact,it is almost non existant! One all inclusive... more

As an all inclusive be aware, be very aware the food is not up to standard, Pizza pasta and fries as a choice for lunch is not acceptable. There were no clean towels available after 10:00 sunlounges had to be reserved by 07:30 or you didn't get one. There were not enough... more

If you are reading this trying to choose where to go on holiday please take my advice - Don't go to Crown Plaza in Sharm if you want to save money by doing the all inclusive option - IT IS NOT ALL INCLUSIVE!! There is only one resturant you can eat in with the All... more

We looked at all the other reviews, decided No, looked at others which we then decided they all had the same complaints, so booked it anyway. The hotel itself is super, beach, facilities, rooms, cleanliness, Hygiene (&i'm in the catering business)... But i brief this is how... more

I quite agree with the previous review i was their at the sametime with the same comments about the poor food and all inclusive(not at all). The food was appalling and you had to buy food elsewhere. You couldn't access any spirits only local beer(froth!) or wine which was... more

We were sold an all-inclusive holiday by Fleetway Travel who had used Hotels4u to book. It was classed as all inclusive and the documents we received by email confirmed the status of the accommodation to be 'AI'. Following two previous visits to Sharm El Sheikh, on an all... more

Apologies for the long review, but I wanted to write this for the benefit of those people thinking of staying here (and in Egypt) for the first time, as we were new to both. Reading this review in its entirety may save you some heartache. :) Sharm El Sheikh marked my first... more

5 STAR !!!!!!! Try 2 star at a push. This resort promises much and delivers nothing. Accomodation poor, furniture stained, totally inedible food, no pool furniture and rude ignorant Russians that provide 90% of the guests. In all our years of travel mostly all inclusive 5... more

Myself and my boyfriend have just return from Sharm having spent an excellent Xmas there. The hotel was lovely, typically North African inspired decor. The staff went out of their way to help you. The room was basic but that didn't matter because we didn't spend that much... more

Faulty Towers
I and my family just got back from Egypt after staying at the Sharm Plaza in sharm El Sheikh. What can I say...... if you are expecting a 5* hotel think again. If you are travelling to Egypt purely to visit the many tourist attractions, then this hotel would be perfect as you won’t be around and subject to the bad service at breakfast, the pool bar, lunch and dinner. We were initially debating about staying for 2 weeks, so we could do the touristy stuff the first week and then use the second week to just relax at the hotel and its private... more
will i go back no way not even freee
if you like a drink and good food forget it .You have to pay for named brands of drink and no service after 11.00 . There werr good bits like no getting up early for sunbeds there plentyfull and he rooms were spacious and clean ,. This is my first ever review and after being at home now a week and still having the stomach bug i had to write somethingt warn poeple that sunshine andwarmth in october comes at a cost . The wost thing was the russian and polish with there super all inclusive which gave them the right for... more
Has changed from Crown Plaza to Sharm Plaza. Says 5* but only 3*
We stayed here for 1 week as a last minute booking, in a junior suite with balcony and sea view. The room 1128, did have a balcony and sea view but looked the same as all the other rooms don't know what made it a junior suite. Bathroom old but clean, cleaning staff were great. Tip the staff, if you want to after 2 or 3 days and you'll be fussed over, also write a note to go with the tip, helps them keep there job. Main 2 restaurants, La Veranda and Palms, buffet style, food was poor, not much variety. 3 other resturants Via Veneto best for... more
Don't come here unless you want food poisoning
My partner and I are in our room for the 4th day running. We both have food poisoning. Not surprising at all considering the hygeine standards ( or lack of ) in the 2 buffet restaurants. Those that have stated that things have improved here are wrong. The rooms are ok and cleaning staff lovely. But the food in the buffet restaurants is dangerous to eat. I poured some water into a mug from one of the urns and it was orange, so it's doubtful that they use bottled water for the teas/coffees. I walked out of the... more
Great time had, worth a booking @ the "Sharm Plaza"
Well we got back today 01/10/2009 after all the bad reviews we really didn't know what to expect, we were thinking of cancelling but aren't we glad we didn't, yes, the hotel is only a three/four star, having said that once they have their new system under control it will be much better, our room was spotless and kept that way cleaned each day, the pool areas are extremely clean, all five of them,main pool filters replaced twice a day, the pool staff are great , we always had a sunbed (just drop the pool lads a quid and you get the same beds... more
No way is this a 5 star hotel
Stayed on an all inclusive basis for 1 week fron 17th Sept 2009. Although the rooms and facilities are ok, they are nowhere near a true 5 star hotel's expectations. The worst part, was the service provided by the waiters in all of the hotel's restaurants. If you managed to get the correct food, or the correct drink, you were lucky. They just seemed to run around making themselves busy without actually doing anything. In the self service restaurants, you would have to ask 3 times just to get a drink. There was an obvious lack of how to run a... more
A wonderful holiday everything was fantastic
Now known as the Sharm Plaza this hotel was taken over three days before we arrived and the previous reviews were horrendous. However we had an absolutly fabulous time. The food was excellent with more choices than you could eat, it was nicely presented. The puddings/sweets were a work of art. and tasted even better. We used the Roman Pool and this was spotlessly clean at all times. The staff from all the restaurants were wonderful and attentive and polite. Nothing was any trouble for them. A special mention to the staff from Vio... more
What a brilliant Place
We have arrived back from the renamed hotel last night. I can understand that with such a major change in a hotel there are going to be teething problems. the first couple of days we expeienced the plastic cups, the lack of choice of food etc: but then the new staff arrived, and the menus became more varied the pools were extremely clean, the staff could not do enough for you. we have stayed in 5 star hotels in Dubai (who really know what 5 star should be) and belive me, the service and standard of food here is not far behind, The all... more
fantastic holiday! last year! beware when booking Crown Plaza, or should I say Sharm Plaza!
Me and my boyfriend went to the crown plaza last year and we had a fab time there, we were there on a half board basis which was probably the best option for us as we like to eat out, i would say the food was ok, but not really to mine and my boyfriends taste...everything apart from that it was lovley, rooms are a good size and modern looking, rooms are cleaned everyday change bedding. beach was beautiful with stunning sealife and coral. made great friends wth some of the staff really lovley guys always polite and helpful with everything as... more
....we had a great time
We returned from the Crowne Plaza at the end of August after a 2 week stay. It was our first time in Egypt & I have to say we had a great time. Speaking from our own experience the majority of the staff were really friendly & the waiters in the Veranda restaurant were great with our kids, the food was certainly better than some of the all inclusive experiences we've had although our kids are not adventurous eaters and so lived off pasta from the cooking station for most of the holiday.The drinks service and table clearing wasn't great but to... more
