It was my 5th visit to Sharm and the second time to the Hilton Waterfalls which should tell you just how nice the place is.
Various comments below:
Took the kids on a family holiday and spent quite a lot of time diving.
HOTEL:
very nice, staff extremely helpful and polite, room always cleaned well, lovely sea view, very nice bathroom, air con etc.
The rooms have TV's but nothing much in terms of UK channels which I would have liked to catch up with news when having a rest.
There is some work near beach area, but does not prevent acess to the jetty and some fine snorkelling amongst the fish and corals. There are shops etc nearby but the main town Naama Bay or Old sharm both require a bus or cab.
POOLS:
mostly used the pool down near the sea, which I realised was slightly greener than one would expect. i.e. not been cleaned well enough. The tiles in the kids pool were much bluer. I also saw a film on the surface early in the morning when no one was in it. Perhaps I am being a little harsh but quite a few people had stomach bugs at some point, inluding most of us but who knows where we picked this up.
FOOD:
Hotel food around pool very nice, italian restaurant ( verdi) was ok, I had the large prawns but was a big let down, (small and dry) but overall most places we ate at the quality was a bit less than expected. We were B&B - its like a greenhouse, so eat a little earlier to get the shaded seating and its a little cooler. You are on holiday so a lie in is expected but the dining area is hot under the sun, even with aircon.
OTHER COMMENTS:
Outside the front of the hotel at night they water the grass with smelly water, draw your own conclusions- was very unimpressed with this.
BUS TO TOWN - NAAMA:
20 egyptian return (GBP 2.00). Note a cab from front gate can be negotiated for 25 Egyptian each way so use that if you are a family and it is much more flexible.
DIVE FACILITIES:
Excellent, Mansour is in charge and hes a decent bloke. Can also book your diving on boats here, but is cheaper to pre book in UK.
NATIONALITIES:
A lot of talk of Russians taking over. There are quite a few but they do their own thing so no big deal. The staff do not like them much as they say they are very impolite and have no manners. Me I could not comment either way.
CHECKOUT:
Will charge you for keeping a room after check out time. We paid USD 40.00 for 3 hours - but need it due to being so hot.
