Returned from this Hotel on 15 November 2007 after 7 days and could not wait to get home.The only good thing was the weather. When we arrived the receptionist tried to transfer us to the Sun Hotel (On the same site) but we said No, they backed down and we were given a room in the Star, the room was nice and cleaned daily. We were told it was a 5 star hotelwhen booking from Teletext, but it should have been a 1 star. Our room looked out over the quiet pool, this pool was only half full and contained green algae growing on the bottom plus rubbish, no one swam in it. Although All inclusive, we were told we had to pay for tea or coffee outside the main restaurant, and there were no snacks outside mealtimes. The cinema and casino were closed, and I believe had been for a long time. No entertainment in the evening. The Hotel was 90% full of Russians, who proved to be the locusts of the dining room, refusing to queue and causing arguments most days. The resort of Nabq Bay was just like a very large building site, with hotels half finished and others being built, lots of empty shops and rubbish. Will not be going back to Sharm El Sheikh for a very long time!

Have just returned from Star Hotel, Part of Raouf International Hotels. Part of a three hotel complex owned by a Mr. Raouf. Billed as entertainment capital of Sharm El Sheik. The hotel was virtually empty. Often only us and another couple on the flight were the only ones eating in the dining room - formica tables. ALL of the facilities except dining room and two bars were closed. Bowling Alley worked for one night. Cinema, theatre, casino and swimming pool closed. We could use pool at Sun Hotel which was also virtually empty but it was a question of finding which sun umbrella was least broken. The Moon hotel was closed down and becoming derelict. Despite having 90% of rooms empty there was no courtesey room at the end of the holiday, and we had to pay extra to keep our room on for a shower. Luckily we were only half board as the food was not too good although they seemed to cook enough for a full hotel.
The beach was good, and there was a lovely hotel up the road where we sometimes ate, and used most evenings. The Star had an Egyptian evening the only entertainment and they managed to find about a dozen guests. No balconies at this hotel

This hotel is a 5 star all inclusive, We were dumped at the hotel and told a rep would be there in the morning. The mini bar was empty and there was no food available, Breakfast was a joke. there was one cooking station and one waiter going round with tea and coffee, we waited 30minutes. The fully inclusive consisted of the pool bar where you cound get a drink in a plastic glass no food that we saw. Lunch and dinner were the same food all cold nothing was warm even. The pools were shut, and all the other things advertised were closed. It took us 5 days before we could get moved as we found no rep at the hotel. The turkish travel agent overthere came to our rescue and moved 5 families. There is nothing for children at all. There are no shops anywhere near so you can't even buy sweets for the kids.
We were at the gala dinner and if the food had been hot it would have been great except we had to go down three flights of steps and outside to get a dring in a plastic glass.

Don't go there

We arrived late in this hotel and despite information given at booking, we did not have a bed in our room for our son. This took a further hour and a half to arrange (at 3.00am) and they tried to extract a further £140 for a rickety bed. All bed linen and sheets dirty. The food was not recognisable at all and we resorted to the bar, however there is no vodka in the hotel and the wine takes about 20 minutes to appear. ( I think they use an off licence). They also charge approx £14 per bottle whereas other hotels charge £9. The service in the restaurant and pool area is non existant and if you do manage to order anything you do not receive any change - unless you confront them, ignore the initial 'have no idea what change you mean' and continue pressing for your money. Limited coke, butter and milk in hotel and certainly no childrens meals on half board basis - but you can order them on room service for additional price. Kids area is certainly not monitored as on 3 visits the woman in charge spent the time in the loo smoking and constantly on the phone. There is no entertainment and nothing to do. Charges made for snooker and bowling. This hotel is a shed designed to get you in and keep ripping you off. We moved as it was so disgusting.
