Holidays at Valtour Grand Sinai resort in Sharm el Sheik, Egypt
Hello everyone,
I and my girlfriend we stayed in the Hotel section of the Sinai Grand Resort Valtur in August 2007.
With all the things that do not go inside this structure will not be easy to be brief.
First, if you want to stay in a real 5 stars (the rest paid as such) I recommend you absolutely do not choose this structure in reality, it is hard to get a 4.
Already know where you ended by the arrival, welcome drink and poorly watered down, alone you should put your room number sticker on the luggage, got into an elevator reeking perhaps appropriate for a 3 star hotel, along a corridor about 500 meters. style horror movie where there are only the twins blondes dressed in blue if the chuckle (see photo) and if you are lucky that the magnetic key functions of the gate, you enter the room.
Surprise addition, upon arrival you find your luggage waiting for you outside the door at the mercy of all, but how are they??
Without it had been requested by us, we discover that we were allocated a room with a connecting door (you hear the slightest noise) and with 2 single beds instead of one bedroom, not the maximum for a couple on holiday and we are not were the only ones to have received this surprise, we kindly ask that we be changed and room for the answer we are invited to come back the next day at 17.00.
The next day, unfortunately, we are told that the hotel is fully booked (which was not true then we will discover), and then you can not change the room.
The room does not end here, the bathroom door was not closed, the air conditioning was so noisy during the night if you want to sleep off, instead of a bidet there 'a mini microphone attached like a shower beside the cup style camper (see photo)
The resin bath is slippery, bathroom lighting good or bad that you can not make you shave them to wear makeup, I also heard that many did not work the TV.
Scenically common areas are nice, pools and beach areas to be precise, for the pool, however, should make someone who controls the occupation of the chairs that remained occupied with towels for 3 / 4 hours without being take advantage of the owners in the meantime, maybe they were doing the rest room, how disgusting!
Hmm ... .. At Sinai Grand Resort's Valtur THERE IS 'THE WHARF to access the water without touching the reef, most of the customers is cut feet and I can assure you that the cut by coral is annoying and does not heal easily, moreover, precisely in the vicinity of the barrier from which you enter the water from the village, there are a myriad of broken coral, for this very reason, how disgusting!
The spaces as you can well understand are limited and inadequate to the number of people housed and the same goes for restaurants, in fact, what I personally poisoned the holiday, force you to sit at the table (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with other people even if you do not want and when you ask all'addetto a table for two you are wrong, the nose and repeatedly reminded that they have few, that several of these few are reserved for those who adhere to the Gold Class (in the catalog is not specified the option of the table, however, costs only € 300) and will see if I can satisfy you.
SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE DO ????? But who is the guest in this damn place???
About 2,600 € in smoke for this property, at the Marriott Renaissance with the same amount 3 years ago I put the red carpet to walk.
Other theft are the beach towels, € 16 each week, plus, the beach or the pool is, for you to let you change it all nice and moist until you rode to the hotel reception which is a lot 'of road that's right, they make you too work for them, which puts it in the sea zone change towels, Beggars !!!!!
Within this Valtur, everything seems to be designed to draw money, a bottle of water 3 € (for Old Sharm for 3 € I bought 9 bottles) € 3 drinks in cans, coffee € 1.50, ( increase of 10% for table service), massage € 50, the sauna was broken, 50 minutes (too few), hammam and whirlpool € 10.
The food was not bad, but not 5 star, the choice of very small fruit, coffee for breakfast as much worse than what they give you air, international breakfast virtually absent, a score on two including myself it was bad for the stomach several days.
The evening buffet in the restaurant of the Hotel Central, "It takes monumental scale", in fact, since the evening the restaurant's central Village closed ends to accommodate customers of more than 500 rooms, also is so dispersed that arrives at the table that we think having done a marathon and his head will turn.
Some waiters are friendly, others look at you wrong, but maybe it's just because I'm tired and exploited to the marrow (salary € 70 per month).
If you think you find a good soul left to lose, in fact, many customers who for some time Valtur to choose the quality of the animation that have rejected this structure.
Some of the animators even though the pull of the stars were, perhaps they forget that the stars on holiday, are the customers.
The reception is very poor, kindness banned, you are a room number, nothing else.
Services absent, usually in the beach and pool passes of 5 stars always a waiter to ask if you want a drink, here in the desert.
The surrounding reef is beautiful, but even here I must reject the behavior of the Hotel that used in restaurants and bars adjacent to the sea place mats and paper cups that, when there 'wind, end up flying into the water, then swam not unusual to see the famous fish glasses / placemat of Valtur, how disgusting!
Organized by the Diving snorkeling in which I participated (Tiran and Ras Mohamed) were directed to places where massive fish if they escaped to fins raised, I expected better for what I paid.
Usually book excursions with the tour operator and offer a guarantee of better quality, both for means of transport used, both for the guides, both for selected routes in this Valtur only the catch is guaranteed, guaranteed.
Two men met in Piedmont Hotel attended the excursion by bus to Cairo and found themselves badly, poor bus without bathroom (6 hours from Sharm to Cairo), breakfast and also poor rather than keep them as long as possible to visit places stakeholders have been trying to make them go into the shop for papyrus sell something, but I think I do 12 hours by bus to buy a bloody papyrus ???????? ??????
Meditate.
