I wanted to go to dubai again but mrs milo insisted on trying sharm. She won and i'm pleased she did. Used this site to research a good hotel and came up with the Savoy. On the advice of other travellers we upgraded to the Royal Savoy, and stayed all inclusive (S class) I must admit I was more than a little apprehensive about going to Egypt never mind Sharm and was worried that I would spend the week making comparisons with Dubai.I needn't have worried There is nothing bad I can say about our stay , it was brilliant,but on speaking to guests in the ordinary savoy we did the right thing in upgrading. There is nothing further to add that hasn't already been said about this hotel in the positive sense. The rooms, pools, beach, bars, food, staff,etc were all very very good. We were especially impressed by the choice of al a carte restaurants.At the time of writting there were five, plus the Tirana buffet, and a Chineese will be opened later this month ,along with an Indian in a new complex across from the main entrance.I could go on but would only be repeating other guests comments and tips.All I would add isthat you can't please everyone, as previous reviews relect, but the percentage of good things said about the savoy far outway the negative.So don't be put off. But do upgrade to the Royal if you can.
Would we go back YES, later on this year Instead of Dubai,( it 's a grand cheaper and All Inc )

We have just got home from a week in the Savoy. It is a really nice hotel and deserves the 5 star status. The surroundings, the gardens, the 3 pools, the beech and the returants are fantastic. The whole hotel is stunning and very clean. However i have one critism the rooms were not 5 star, the bathrooms were not cleaned to a high standard and the bedrooms need a makeover as they are a little tired.
The people who work in the hotel are very friendly, however if you are all inclusive or S class as they call it you are treated with a little more attention, as you can guess we were not!!
If you can afford it then i would recommend a up grade to royal savoy which looks amazing. We tried but were told it was fully booked.
I would without a doubt go back to this hotel as we really enjoyed our holiday, the weather, the food and the service were all outstanding. ( Try the seafood pasta in the itallian, stunning.)
Having spoken to other guests in the hotel, the savoy is one of the best hotels in Sharm and well worth a visit.
Dont miss out on the diving, snorkaling or the amazing sea spy or submirine trip.

We stayed for a chill-out week in April. The location is ideal - just 10 minutes by taxi from the airport, although only about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies! Nevertheless there is no disturbance from the planes. Make sure you haggle with the taxi driver - he tried to charge us £25 to start with, which we got down to £10 and on our return journey, with some help from a local, we paid £6.
The facilities are good - there is a quite large beach and plenty of sunbeds there and at the pool. Our standard room had everything you needed, including bathrobes, tea and coffee etc. and an evening service when the bathroom was cleaned again, beds turned down and little chocolates left for us.
The staff were mostly very good, especially the long suffering guest relations person, who seemed to have the hardest job of the lot - plenty of people seemed to have something to complain about, including us - see below...
We went B&B, although most guests seemed to be on all inclusive terms and we felt we were made to feel second class, although our view was that as we got to select from full menus instead of a limited choice, and could buy better wine by the bottle, instead of just by the glass, ours was a better deal unless you really wanted to over indulge!
The buffet breakfast was excellent, with lots of choice aimed at the different nationalities staying there - mainly Brits and Russians. There were several restaurants of varying standards. The main one was self service buffet style and felt a bit like a feeeding station rather than a dining expereince in the evenings. The a la carte restaurants were better, especially the Italian one, but for all these you needed to book. Bookings were only taken between 1pm and 5pm, although when we first arrived , we were not told of this, and ended up having to complain to the deputy general manager before we could get a meal on the first night! They were quite rigid about the booking system and we saw people turned away from restaurants with plenty of empty tables, because they hadn't booked.
Opening times of bars was another problem for us - the beach and pool bars close at sunset (defined quite early by some of the bar staff) leaving nowhere where you could get a beer before you had showered and changed out of beach/tennis clothes
if you want to play any serious tennis this hotel is not for you - the 2 clay courts are very poorly maintained and virtually unplayable unless you just volley!
We enjoyed the stay, but if we went back to Sharm would probably try a different hotel.

We stayed at the Savoy (Royal Savoy) a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children and I was especially concerned about the reviews on trip advisor. We were there for 2 weeks and loved it. Beautiful hotel, lovely grounds, fantastic people who can’t do enough for you. Staying in the Royal Savoy means you have some lovely benefits:-

·Royal Savoy Lounge
This is a dedicated lounge for RS guests only, you can eat your breakfast and have fresh omelettes, and the usual items

Canapes at lunch time, afternoon/evening

No children after 6pm are allowed in the lounge area

·Royal Savoy Swimming Pools
2 pools, 1 childrens and 1 for other guests, not very large but more than adequate.
Watch out for other guests coming in as that happened a lot and you have to tell the staff who then point out that it’s private

·Cakes delivered to your room every afternoon, as well as ‘Turn down service’ where they leave a chocolate on your pillow which is a nice touch

Restaurants

·Priority booking – you have to book a table for the restaurants and you can book it with the main Royal Savoy Reception on the morning, other guests have to queue up at 1pm to book their table for the evening

·The Main Tirana is buffet style is fine
·The Rosemarino is the Italian and is the best one, good choice of food, excellent quality
·Morgana is great for lunch, freshly cooked Pizzas (not on the menu) but they will cook them for you, no problem, they are quite large so don’t ask for too many.

S Class

We were all inclusive which is ‘S ‘Class so you go to any of the restaurants and there is a specific ‘S’ class menu which is very good. Take a look at the drinks menu for ‘S’ class as well which is also good. If you want other drinks you can have them but you will be charged for them.

Bedrooms

The rooms are very nice but not quite as good as maybe they could be, nothing wrong with them but you may expect something a bit more with staying in the Royal Savoy’. The bedlinen is changed every day, cleaned well and lovely friendly staff. Tea and coffee making facilities in your room although our tea bags never got replenishes so we had to keep on asking for them. Also the shampoo / shower gel doesdoesn’t automatically get replenished, so again ask for it.

Would we go back, yes, definitely.
