“Went with an open mind but very disappointed.....”

Delta Sharm Resort

Jul 20, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

I have just returned from the Delta Sharm Resort after spending what should have been a relaxing 2 weeks in the sun. Whilst the weather was fantastic the same cannot be said about the hotel.

In my opinion there is still alot of work to be done by this hotel to bring it up to an acceptable standard. It is most definitely not a 4 star hotel and is more akin to a 3 star. Below is a series of observations about my time at Delta Sharm. I shared these comments with the manager and have added what he said in response at the end of this post.

The food on offer in the restaurant is very repetative and unimaginative to say the least. The food is also of low quality and the number of choices on offer is poor. Furthermore, the way food is kept warm/cold/free from potential contamination is a major concern. The hotel claims they conform to British Health and Safety/Food regulations however they do not check the temperature of the food once it has been brought from the kitchen to the buffet area. My partner who is degree qualified and has been in the food industry for a number of years was shocked at the lack of awareness around food hygiene. As the food was so poor myself and my partner ate out most nights in Naama Bay.

It was also disappointing that soft drinks were served in what can be described as no bigger than a thimble. The beer on offer "Sakara" is on draught and is watered down so beware as it tastes very different to the bars in Naama Bay which also serve it on draught. The beer became better towards the end of my stay as other people had complained about this too.

The level of service by staff is poor. The staff at the resort are disrespectful, rude and very unhelpful. It is noticeable that if you tip the staff their attitude towards you becomes better but soon subsides if you do not tip them on a daily basis.

It should be noted that the staff who service the pool areas are more interested in chatting up females around the pool rather than taking orders/getting drinks/handing out towels. If I had a daughter I would be extremely uncomfortable as to how these members of staff act as they were inappropriate with females as young as 12-13.

Near to the main pool area and the pool with the slide are 2 shops which sell lilos etc. Be prepared to be hassled when going past on a daily basis.

The entertainment on offer at the hotel was good if you liked karaoke and typical british style "benidorm/butlins" entertainment.

The rooms were of an acceptable standard although they were basic and in need of modernisation. The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis and the sheets were changed regularly. The standard of the privately owned apartments were much better than the Delta owned accomodation.

It has to be said that the grounds of the Delta Sharm are very well kept and the pool areas are of a great standard.

I was also ill about 4 days in to the stay at Delta Sharm. I was bed bound for 2 days due to severe stomach cramps, vomitting and diahorrea. Make what you want of this.....

Whilst waiting to speak to the manager I found a pile of complaint forms on his secretary's desk. I probably should not have looked but I did and there were approximately 25 complaints on the desk. All of them were similar in nature and were very negative about the Delta Sharm.

Having spoken to the manager he admitted that there were a number of failings at the Delta Sharm. He noted that there was a problem with the staff and that he aimed to sort this out as soon as possible. He also admitted that there had been a number of complaints about the food and he hoped with the opening of a new restaurant in November that a better range of foods would be on offer. He said that the food hygiene system in place was not fool proof due to Egypt being a very hot country!

Summary- Below average at best

i was a bit apprehensive after reading other reviews but they're all a load of rubbish!
YES the hotel is big so someone will be staying in an appartment furthest away from the restaurant and main bar (and that was us) but is a 5 minute walk really that hard when you are on holiday? and if not the staff will ferry you around in the buggies when available.
there are lots of great pools with bars and jacuzzis and slides, request a pool view so you are not too far away!
our room was cleaned and tidied every day, and we had a bottle of water in our fridge on arrival which was very much needed!
the food is OK, what is there is nice but I don't know if I could do it for to weeks as I think it could be a little repetative, but for one week it was fine. the snack menu can be delivered to your pool whilst you are sunbathing but beware this could take over an hour to arrive, so just order it early.
yes they do give you soft drinks in small glasses but in 50 degree heat anymore than that would just get warm, and they are not worried about giving you more than one drink if you do want more.
one thing i will say which isnt clear is that to get to the private beach you have to get a shuttle bus, but this only takes 5 minutes. there is also a shuttle into old sharm, where the markets are.
all in all we had a really good week, and was well worth the money : ) ignore all the miserable others!

“Brill time on Delta Sharm”

Delta Sharm Resort

Jul 13, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

I stayed on Delta Sharm for 14 days and had a wonderful time i booked direct with 2 english owners, Ruth and Adrian and Keith and Catherine their apartments are very well furnished and clean,The pools and bars on delta were very well staffed and nothing was too much to ask if you need anything, The supermarket delivers to your door 24 hours a day, we will return again soon would recommend renting from the english owners.

“Very Good Package Holiday”

Delta Sharm Resort

4 of 5 stars
emmaisfit
Jul 6, 2008
3/4 found this review helpful

Having read many of the reviews on this website before booking Delta Sharm, my partner and I were slightly apprehensive. However, we decided that it was likely that the majority of people who write reviews on here are those who had a bad experience, and that there were probably thousands who had a great time, and have never written about it. I still believe this to be true, and have therefore come back to give my views, and hopefully even up your opinion.
We booked the holiday probably only a month before departure, and at a very cheap price, and therefore had low expectations of what we would find. Our arrival in Egypt was not the most pleasurable experience. Having been told to pay about £5 to get to Delta Sharm form the airport in a taxi, we were disappointed following a 30 minute stretch of brutal haggling, to be paying £15(English). On the return journey we paid about £6, so rather than being conned like we were, I advise booking a transfer to the hotel.
We arrived to find our hotel room clean, spacious, and generally excellent value for money. The following morning we walked round the site and were very impressed. The place is beautifully landscaped, with a number of fantastic pools to choose from, often with swim up bars. The food throughout our stay was always edible, if not a little repetitive at times. I would recommend for those on an all-inclusive package (as we were), wait until the snack point in the day, and have orders brought down to the poolside. The fact that the food was so similiar (one of very few criticisms) meant we ate out probably every other night, which wasn't an issue as prices are so low. The only other criticism I would have of our entire trip, was the incessant need of the Egyptians, to ruin every possible moment by blaring out dated Enrique Iglesias tracks at full volume. This unfortunately was not limited to just the Delta Sharm resort either, occuring numerous times throughout our stay in Egypt.
Our stay at Dela Sharm was always enjoyable. We had no trouble with staff members, food, or any other complaints made by other reviewers on here. All in all, a fantastic, cheap, package holiday for under £500.

A Few Tips...
Always carry small notes with you for tipping, this is essential for eveyrthing from keeping your pizza spit-free, to keeping your sun lounger unoccupied.
Snorkel. An absolute must do. Even 5 metres off Delta Sharms private beach area you can see some amazing underwater wildlife.
Always haggle. Start by halving the price suggested, and dont be afraid to walk away if you don't get the price you want.
Carry a small bottle of alcohol handwash at all times. This was given to us by a family member, and probably saved us a lot of toilet time. Use after handling pretty much anything, especially money.

“Brilliant vale for money”

Delta Sharm Resort

Jul 6, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We got a cancellation for Delta Sharm and paid £840 pound for the 2 of us for 10 days all I can say was that it was brilliant value for money. I am a great believer in 'you get what you pay for' so all I was hoping for was somewhere cheap and cheerful with guaranteed good weather. When we first got there I was pleasantly surprised by the reception and even more surprised by the execellent room we were given which overlooked a fantastic pool area complete with waterfalls and bar. The staff by the pool were brilliant and apart from a few forays into Naama bay we spent most of our time there. We had a great 10 days and the food although repetative was of a good standard, the only moan I have is about the drinks where they tended to give you really small glasses for the soft drinks, but this just meant that we ordered 4 drinks instead of 2 - no big deal.
This is our fourth time to Sharm El Sheik and our first visit to Delta, I would have no problems in booking it again.
