Thanks for the water tips everyone

I went to Sharm 2 years ago it was great fun

Did the quad biking through the dessert and watched the sunset absolutly fabulous only thing I would say is the guides carry guns but never saw one get it out and they seemed really friendly

We are going to the CSR on 27th November, what is the beach like there? Is the water deep enough to swim in or do we have to walk out for miles? It is my quest to find the best beach in the world. Do we need beach shoes on close to the beach or just further out near the reef?

The Beach is shallow for a long way out. There is a jetty which is long and wide.
To swim shoes are a good thing as there is a little Coral. When we went in Oct. in the afternoon the sea became quite choppy, but Lifeguards where in place we are there again this thurs 10th so we will let you know more when we return, But it is a brilliant place, and if you can book to see the beduiam people camel ride with stargazing , take sweets for the children and i promise you wont be dissapointed.

just got back from the csr this morning,my advice to people going,would be to cancel and go to cyprus,out of 9 people in our party 7 people were ill with upset stomachs,and i mean running to the toilets.our room had sewage water coming out of the shower base and the hotel had to unblock it four times,one morning it had come under the door and into the bedroom.our french windows would not lock properly.the other family we went with had no water in there rooms to wash ,3 times,there phone did not work,the waiters are fine if you are young and female,be careful of this,i seriously have a massive list of complaints about first choice and this hotel together,we had some real great days away from the hotel,aqua park,naama bay.and quad biking .we booked not using first choice,cheaper and loads better,i will be making an official complaint,just need to get some sleep first,

Hi

I have just read reports above and am now quite concerned about travelling to hotel. I stayed in CSR 2 years ago and could not fault hotel, hence reason for returning.

The entertainment staff were exceptional when I was there and always provided an evening show for all age groups. Can anyone please confirm if there is still live entertainment as when I was there Grease and Rocky Horror show were a few of the many evening shows which we seen :que .

Also read about the Irish coffee scam, does / did this happen on a regular basis?
Re the hotel beach bar / restaurant. At my last stay this was a seafood restaurant at night which was at a charge. I believe that this is now an Indian restaurant, do you still need to pay for this also?

:offtop Can anyone please let me know what the new shopping complex is like across from the hotel and what kind of shops and restaurants / bars there.

Thanks
:sun2

Oh dear 'Tipton'. It's to late for us, we are off there tomorrow :Que . That doesn't sound good at all. Which room and block were you in? Ive heard such good reports about this hotel, any of that s*** I will force FC to move us reminding them of the previous year the holiday we booked and hotel never finished. Even though we did end up in Crete and had a wonderful holiday, I won't tolerate bad stomach. Especially if it happens to my kids. :evil:

Hi folks, we got back from CSR on the 2nd July and yes, a LOT of people had stomach upsets mainly the trots and cramps. Some people who had been there for a week already were having a second bout by the time we were ill. We were ok on the 2nd day then we all started to come down with it in turns, 2 adults and 3 kids. Not good, definately puts you out of action for a couple of days. I wouldn't say it is the food, we had the doctor come in when I was ill as my husband blew a gasket as he had already been ill, and knew it could be a hard couple of days for him if I was as ill as he had been. He took my temperature and told me I did not have an infection but it was too much sun, different food etc.

Yes this is a problem, but the holiday overall was okay, quite relaxing as its too hot to do much else, good location right on the beach, most of the staff were friendly although it is a male oreinted culture so women tend to be politely overlooked.

If you are ill, the medicine is much cheaper just outside the main entrance to the left at the pharmacy, next to the metro supermarket.The pharmacist, a woman, was very helpful and gave us the diarolite free.

Please don't be put off because of this, I do think its "holiday tummy" but its no fun when you are going through it.
