We spent a week in Golden Resort in October, hotel is spotless. Food was superb, always hot and of very good quality.

The staff were very helpful and cannot do enough for you.

All in all a great palce to chill out.

Just returned from the Golden Resort and could not fault anything.

The staff are so friendly and helpful. The Reception staff are extremely helpful and have a great sense of fun. The food was not repetitive and good.

A Beach Party with international entertainment and bar, a Barbecue in the tent with a dancing troupe was great and a Karaoke was the evening entertainment.

Taxis are cheap from the hotel to Narma Bay and you can book it return and pay on return. The beach is a lovely 10 min. walk through the Raddison Gardens with a bar on the beach or a bus takes you every 10 minutes. The rooms are spotless and the cleaner leaves a lovely towel sculpture with rose petals every day.

The pools are fab and the swim up pool waiter brought us cocktails every morning to our sunbeds. Extremely friendly, great fun and would book again next year.

We visited the Golden Resort in Sept 06 and it was one of the best holidays I have ever had. The hotel and its ground where kept immaculate and the staff where so friendly.

When it came to the food there was always a great selection and always a different theme so you wasn't eating the same meal twice.

If you are looking for a relaxing holiday the location is ideal as its not in a busy area.

The only let down to the hotel was its lack of entertainment in the evenings as there was next to nothing to do.

The alcohol with the all inclusive was also disgusting. All the spirits tasted the same and was very difficult to drink.

All in all I would visit the golden resort again, we had such a good holiday and it was the hotel and its staff that made it so good.

Everything about the hotel was great, hotel staff very helpful, rooms cleaned every day, you couldn't complain about a thing, food served all through the day.

You would never go hungry. Location of the hotel is great if you are on holiday for complete relaxation, can't wait to go back.

Hotel rooms/grounds etc were immaculate. Rooms extremly comfortable, grounds well laid out although probably not enough sunbeds/parasols - although I have yet to go to a hotel where there are. This means you have to 'claim' your sunbed/shade before breakfast, which is a real pain, but a necessity.

Food served at main meal times was lovely, although definately not for the person who likes to eat plain boring british food abroad - we don't! Snacks between meals were very limited - good if you don't want to pile the weight on! Drinks weren't so good, vodka doubled up as bathroom cleaner, i am sure, and beer/wine seemed to have a zero per cent alcohol content! I don't go away to get plastered but I do like a couple of drinks during the evening, therefore in hindsight if I ever went all inclusive again, I would buy a bottle of vodka at the airport and carry a mineral water bottle topped up with it in my bag in the evenings. Soft (fizzy) drinks on tap for kids.

Location of hotel is very isolated, although this is quite clearly stated in brouchures.
The staff were all lovely, very curtious and loved children.

The entertainment left a lot to be desired. Really was a down side to holiday. My children are 11 and 15. Lots of younger children there, but hardly any older teenagers, even though it was easter holidays. Perhaps we were just unlucky.

In all a lovely hotel to stay in if, like us, you want to relax and take advantage of diving and snorkeling opportunitis in surrounding area.

The staff were fabulous and couldn't do enough to help you. Nothing was too much bother for them. The rooms were spotless and fresh towels every day. The entertainment was normal for the time of year we visited. We are going back on March 2007 to the same hotel.

Hi, we have just returned from Golden Resort in Nabq. This is our second holiday to Sharm el Sheikh in 6 months. We so loved our two week stay in September last year we had to return, albeit to a different hotel, and once again had the time of our lives.

We had a Superior Room (No. 7401) which was on the top floor. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained every day by our "Male Maid". He would come back to the room at 6.30 pm to see if we needed any extra towels, water, tea, coffee or toiletries. We also had fruit in the room most days and there were complimentary slippers and bathrobes for us. Overall, the accommodation was first class.

The food in the restaurant was excellent. We were really spoilt for choice each day. My husband was in seventh heaven because there was Bread and Butter Pudding available for breakfast!! Neither of us had gyppy stomachs this visit thank goodness (our party of 7 were all laid low in September).

All soft drinks and water were on tap and you just helped yourself, the beer and wine were served to you by the staff.

If you want a beach holiday this may not be the hotel for you. The sister Radisson SAS hotel is situated on the beach and it takes about 10-15 minutes to cross the road and walk through the grounds down to the beach. Wheelchair access is virtually non existent in both hotels. The Golden Resort lays on a coach to take guests to and from the beach every 5-10 minutes though. We did the trip once, but our main aim this holiday was to laze around and chill out, which is exactly what we did, and the temperature was consistenly in the 40s.

The grounds in both hotels are immaculate. However, beware the shop keepers in the Bazaar at the SAS, they grab you the minute you walk by and this is rather off putting. If they only left you to browse they would make more sales.

The staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. OK they probably had their eyes on a nice tip at the end of our stay, and you cannot blame them when you read in the hotel brochure that they earn 30p English an hour. Everyone of them had come from either Cairo or Alexandria to find work to support their families back home.

The entertainment - well let's just say they tried. The singer in the Panorama Bar was diabolical. We couldn't understand a word he sang and the tunes were a bit hit and miss, but for comic value he was first class. The Animation Team came round the pools 2 - 3 times a day trying to drum up enthusiasm for water gym, darts etc. but a simple no and they went off quite happy.

The Bedouin Tent was pretty good. They held a Folklore Evening once a week with whirling dervishes and what looked like Ninja warriors, but we kept missing the belly dancer.

All in all we had a wonderful holiday, the people are friendly and welcoming, the hotel and grounds are clean and tidy and food and drink plentiful and varied.

There is a lot of building working going on in Nabq - we were not bothered by noise though - and the hotel is on the flight path from the airport, but the noise is not too intrusive. We will definitely come to the Golden Resort again, but feel that in 5-10 years the whole atmosphere of the resort will change and be over commercialised.

If you are thinking of an Egytian holiday book now before it is spoilt and resembles Benidorm or Southend.

We stayed at the Golden Resort[radisson]at Sharm Sheikh although rated as 4 star it was really much better than that.

The staff were very attentive but not intrusive and had the time to chat. The food was of a constant quality always appearing fresh even at the very end of the meal time 2230hrs in the evening.

The snacks were a little limited but the breakfast in the morning kept even the hungeriest full so that mid morning snacks were for those who missed breakfast.

Entertainment was also limited but the guests who were there were mostly mature in age [including ourselves] and could always find ways to amuse ourselves. would I go back? Most definitely but I will probably try another hotel in Taba just so that I have something to measure it by.

Nice clean hotel, lots of british clientelle. Bedrooms large, tidied/cleaned daily by male cleaners who leave brilliant towel sculptures.

The food was nice kept warm by individual heated containers, special themed nights provide good variety of dishes whist also providing the basic AI tucker. Breakfast, lunch & dinner chefs are in dining rooms cooking to order eg omelettes, slicing roast beef. (Men have to long trousers for dinner-which was not in the brochure).

Hotel grounds are beatiful, gardens, water features etc. swimming pools nice & clean loads of sunbeds any time of day plus free towels, pool games during the day but not much entertainment at night.

Location feels quite isolated outside hotel on very quite dual carriage way which is semi finished but with little or no lighting. It is unadvisable for females to walk along this road at night or even couples, please use taxi or go in groups.

Entry to the sea is via jetty the snorkelling is brill but feel I must inform that the sea is surprisingly choppy which is a definite problem for children, weak swimmers and amateur snorkellers. Hotel has beach bar for drinks and snacks also loads of free sunbeds and towels. Trips out on boats provide excellant snorkelling opportunies in calm turquoise reefs-perfect!. Good trip- Quads in the desert, cost

Just returned from second visit to Golden. Most surprised that Yasser the Manager has now left. It was not the same without him there. The current Manager has no people skills and we missed the wonderful man Yasser who always talked to us and made us feel special.

I think standards have gone down also since he left. The big manager Daniel walks around strutting and we just did not feel they were approachable.

The staff seem not so happy either and the money spinning ideas have now come out. I know one man does not make a resort but Yasser did.

We will try and find out where he is manager and follow him we think. We still had a nice time though....
