Xperience St. George

All of my family we had lovely spa treatments at the hotel The staff were very professional and helpful We recommend coming to the spa to have treatment Osama has been very good in guiding us what treatment is best for each of us We recommend you go and speak to him

Positives - The staff at the lobby bar and restaurant are really nice. - The food in the restaurant was fine and you could always find something to eat even as a fussy eater. - The pool area was nice, clean and you could always get a sun lounger. Negatives - There is one bar at night which is the lobby bar and the atmosphere isn’t great it feels like a waiting room. - A lot of hassle round the pool to buy different things, especially the first few days. - The spa is dated and the staff aren’t welcoming. The people who come and sell the spa packages around the pool are lovely but they sell you a dream telling you all the different treatments they think you need and when you actually pay and go there for your treatment they don’t even speak or ask you any questions and it is just a standard massage. I had 2 massages and a facial. I wouldn’t recommend. I only went back after the first as I had already paid for a package. - There is no bar near the entertainment so we found while we were there hardly anyone watched the entertainment at night. It would make more sense if they turned the shisha hunt into a bar with drinks/alcohol and outdoor seating, then it would cater to different people and create a bit of atmosphere. - The rooms are extremely dated and the bedding needs replacing as the sheets were bobbly like they have been overused/washed. We did ask if they could be changed because they felt itchy and we were covered in bites but the same sheets were put back on the bed. - We arrived after 1am so missed day 1 and didn’t use any all inclusive. On our last day our flight wasn’t until 11pm. We checked out at 12:00pm and left our bags, we were told we could use the facilities all day and to come back to get a room to change. At around 6pm we borrowed a room to change and when we returned to reception to go to the restaurant we were told we needed to pay for a meal and drinks and we needed to remove our bands. They said their policy is all inclusive ends and bands are to be removed at 12pm during check out. Our bands were never removed when we checked out at 12pm, so this doesn’t make sense. It might take some extra effort from the reception staff but I think they should look at each holiday individually in relation to all inclusive ending. We had paid for a whole day and used nothing due to delays at the airport. If this is the case, as a gesture of goodwill they could let people keep the bands until leaving, rather than having to pay for food which has technically already been paid for. It depends what you want from a holiday but I would say at night the hotel is quite boring and much better suited to older people. Personally, I wouldn’t return to this hotel. Outside of the hotel - We went to Soho square and Naama Bay via taxi which we order through the indrive app, you have to pay in cash. I would recommend Naama Bay.

We stayed at the property and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! The property, room, and food were beautiful! An excellent review also goes to Seif and Ghada for the beautiful professional massages! We had a really great time and will definitely be back

First time at an all inclusive and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Firstly my friend and I arrived at about 10pm and the staff made sure we got some food when we arrived. Me and my friend spent most the time in the main pool and there was always activities in the morning, a little break from about 12:30-3 and then more activities in the afternoon. We especially loved the aqua zumba on the morning and the waterpolo in the afternoon. Even after the pool closes the entertainment continues of the stage round the back of the hotel. The entertainment staff were lovely and liked to make sure everyone was getting involved. The staff at the hotel are absolutely fantastic. Special shout out to Shaynuda at the bar in the loud pool, always remembering orders and kept the drinks going once finished. The restaurant staff were all so lovely and also always remembered what drinks we like. I was a little worried about the food from what I had read in other reviews but I think that everything I had was delicious. My friend and I are vegetarian and we were well catered for. Plenty of different kinds of salad, different vegetables curry kinds of dishes, rice, couscous, pasta, plenty of bread, fruit and many desserts. The hotel was very clean and our room was well cleaned everyday. The hotel has shuttle buses to the market and soho square that alternate every other day and shuttles to both sandy and coral beach everyday. Drinks and I think food were also all inclusive at the beach. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

We recently stayed at this hotel for a week and it was exactly the relaxing break we were hoping for. There is not a great deal around it but nothing is too far away. The is a pharmacy 2 mins walk away if you needed one We spent most of our time either at the quiet pool or down at the beach. The quiet pool was fantastic-peaceful, spotless, and never overcrowded. A special mention to Mo at the pool bar who was great at remembering drinks / coffees and would bring them over and the pool towel guys at the quiet pool always very friendly and the bar manager who often brought us our drinks The shuttle bus to both of the beaches was great and only a short ride . The beaches were beautiful, sandy to chill and coral if you enjoy snorkelling and there was drinks and food there too as part of the AI Once again, the staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. We also made use of the free shuttle service to the Old Market and Naama Bay and soho square (which has a great pub called the queen vic ) this was a great way to explore the area What really makes this hotel fab is the staff Every single person we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our stay enjoyable. The hotel and rooms were kept very clean, and our room was serviced daily to a high standard. The food was what you would expect from an all-inclusive resort, and we were always able to find something we liked. Overall, we had an incredibly relaxing stay and wouldn't hesitate to return. We would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone

Have stayed at this hotel many times. It is our home away from home. Staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Drinks brought to your sunbeds at the quiet pool with a smile. Room cleaned to a good standard every day. Food in the restaurant was varied. We could always find something to eat, especially the rice pudding for my husband! What did spoil it for the whole week was a group of about 8 people who thought the quiet pool belonged to them. From morning till night, you could hear them shouting, smoking in the pool, playing music, and their language was disgusting. Complaints were made, but nothing changed. Fortunately, being returning guests, we know this isn't the normal, but someone visiting the first time it would certainly put me off returning. We will be back in the future to this lovely friendly hotel.

We had an initial bad experience with the hotel but after issues were resolved it was on reflection a decent hotel. Positive - Exceptional customer service from Pastry Chef Muhammed Abdul B (who recently returned from Hajj). This chef who went out their way to make our lunch/dinner service the best possible and even had a specific dish cooked for one of our group. Outstanding! - Friendly reception staff – one team member in particular stood out. His name was Shenouda and he was really empathetic to our issues and always happy to help us - Free shuttle to two beaches (one day each) and old market (every other day). Must be booked in advance - Enough sunbeds for guests for pool and beach areas (we went Mid-June so might be different in summer holidays/busier periods) - Decent variety of food for lunch/dinner - Security gate check taxis when they pick you up. Made us feel safe. - Can get packed breakfast if doing an overnight excursion - Rooms cleaned daily - General Manager (I think his name was Mahmoud) was very helpful once issues were escalated to him Negative - We arrived late due on the first evening due to delayed easyjet transfer bus and were not offered any late dinner service (even though the hotel do provide) - Hotel has no lift and offered no assistance with taking luggage upstairs (though that may have been due to initially not accepting help with luggage going into hotel from the bus) - Room safe didn’t initially work (but then resolved next day) - Reception is not manned 24 hours - No help from guest relations desk inside lobby for issues, very much a ‘cannot do anything’ attitude. - Hotel tried to overcharge us for a card payment with incorrect exchange rate (this seems to be a common occurrence in Sharm El Sheikh but didn’t expect it at the hotel…) - The hotel rep (Salem Ismail) didn’t help us and acted as if he knew he would get away with doing nothing! Whilst not a direct employee of the hotel it reflects badly on them and Easyjet as he is the person you’ll be dealing with on the ground - Not near other hotels so often picked up first for excursion (so longer time going around picking everyone else up) - Many issues we raised were only resolved once escalated with EasyJet head office and subsequently met with the general manager. Had we not done this, our experience would have been much worse. Also worth noting you cannot exchange money at the hotel e.g. if you have British Pounds and want Egyptian Pounds (you can however withdraw from their ATM if you have a card but most card companies charge fees). I appreciate not every hotel can offer an exchange service so this is not a criticism. The only place in the city we found that did this was an exchange in the old market and they require a physical passport. Once again we would like to thank Pastry Chef Muhammed Abdul B, receptionist Shenouda and the general manager who kindly met with us to resolve our issues.

On our way back from a week stay in this hotel. All in all, you get what you pay for - a budget friendly all inclusive in Egypt. Cleanliness: Couldn’t fault the cleanliness of this hotel. Pool area was cleaned daily and the restaurant was always clean and tidy at every meal. Rooms: We were upgraded on arrival to a premium room - was grateful for this but I’m not sure what the upgrade was - possibly a pool view? Regardless, the beds were comfy - a king size bed and clean bedding every day! Bathroom in the room was decent in size and had everything you’d need. Hairdryer connected to the wall too. Pool: We spent the first day at the main pool but only lasted one day before moving over to the quiet pool. This quiet pool was just that - no blaring music, activities or games - just a pool to swim and relax in. That is until you have some guests who feel it is their personal pool to scream, splash and smoke in. Both myself and other guests raised this issue with management but not much seemed to be done about it which was a shame - thankfully this only seemed to be an issue on the last few days of our holiday. We came late June into early July and the quiet pool had sun loungers laying empty all day - we got to the pool by 9 in the morning and there were mostly empty loungers next to the pool so no sunbed wars to report! Plenty of shade with umbrellas and tables on most pairs of sun beds which can be up or down depending on your preference. Lifeguard / towel staff are more than happy to help you lift or put down your umbrella as they can be quite tricky if you’re vertically challenged like me. Beach: We visited sandy beach using the shuttle and have no complaints really. Nice enough beach but kept getting asked to buy cocktails, spa treatments and water activities so left early as it got to the point it was every 10-20 minutes we were being asked to buy something else - not what I want at a “private” hotel beach. Food: The food is what you can expect from an Egyptian all inclusive, however a smaller selection to what I’ve had in similar places. Usually vegetarian, 2-3 different meat options and fish at every meal, and always broccoli and carrots for vegetable options. Lots of fresh bread on offer which was kept wrapped. Restaurant also air conditioned which was a welcomed feature in June/July heat! The food did get a bit samey by the end, and as someone who doesn’t eat meat on the bone, I struggled a little bit but that’s a personal preference which I don’t expect to be catered for. If I had kids, I think they would have struggled as other places usually have staple chips, pizza, chicken every night, this hotel didn’t and I would have struggled with children and having enough to eat. Side note: the “à la carte” at the hotel is a paid feature which I didn’t realise before coming. Prices didn’t seem horrendous but again, I didn’t expect to have to pay for an à la carte service as usually this is included once in an all inclusive stay. Staff: Staff I couldn’t fault enough. Nothing was too much hassle and they couldn’t do enough to. Make your experience as best as it could be! Saad at the quiet pool bar was exceptional. Tipping goes a huge way and a £100EGY goes a long way! It’s pennies to us but makes the world of difference to them! Hotel facilities: À la carte mentioned above. My biggest piece of advice is avoid the hotel shops (groceries, bags, memorabilia etc). We went in the first day and got the wool pulled over our eyes and got charged £15 GBP for a tube of Pringles and a packet of m&ms - we then went back into the other shops (all under the same man) who tried to charge us extortionate amounts for items that were price marked as much lower, and he wasn’t overly friendly when these were pointed out. I think he sees tourists coming and overcharges for items that others likely get a lot cheaper. Highly recommend getting a taxi using InDrive app to a local supermarket - itll be cheaper than using the hotel shop which will have you believing £8 GBP is acceptable for a tube of pringles! Gym was not air conditioned so avoided this - wouldn’t have been too bad in early morning hours but it didn’t open until 10, and by then it was overwhelmingly hot. Entertainment: We didn’t watch the entertainment. Tried the first night but an outdoor theatre with mosquitos, no air conditioning and a “bar” with none of the usual drink selection and no ice is not something I wanted to partake in every night. We tended to sit in the reception bar who were showing the World Cup every night and had air conditioning - a much more pleasant experience! The hotel provide shuttles to Old Market and Naama bay on alternative nights but we used the InDrive app to get a taxi. Go and come back unrestricted and cost about £1 to go to Old Market and £1.50 to go to Naama bay. We also got a taxi to Soho Square which was our favourite place of all. Highly recommend eating at Soho Square when you’re there! Nice shops and good relaxed vibe when you’re there! Old market and Naama bay are much busier and you can’t walk past a shop without being asked to go in and have a look. We found a simple no thanks would work for the majority. Just keep walking and people tended not to follow apart from a few individuals who got the point eventually! Summary: all in all, you get what you pay for at a 3.5/5 star all inclusive in Egypt. Staff cannot do enough and facilities clean, spacious and comfortable. Food could use improvement but again, it’s what you expect when you pay not an extortionate amount to stay. Pools ideal for what you need and quiet pool is as it says on the tin (mostly): quiet.

We have just returned from a second stay at this hotel & have had a wonderful time once again. Checking in we were so impressed as they welcomed us back (3 years since last visit) which we were very impressed with this. From the time we checked in & out we rate this 100 The staff at this hotel are awesome alway's ready to help with anything, friendly with excellent customer service. Mo who was working in the quiet pool is a absolute credit to this hotel alway's has a smile on his face & nothing was too much for him (excellent customer service) treated all guests with respect. Pool guys 100 extremely helpful. All your staff who work at your hotel is what makes your stay lovely & more than likely is the reason people return again & again. Also a big thank you to the guys who work on the front gate for being helpful, friendly.

One of the most relaxed holidays I have had on arrival we were warmly welcomed by reception staff and taken to our room- following morning from the pool staff to bar staff we were amazed at the friendliness we were shown- if you take a room by the quiet pool you can chill all day no forced fun but the other pool was buzzing if that’s your thing - food choices were good and there was always something to enjoy. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back but what really makes this a stand out experience is the staff. A must for a stay is a visit to Nathan’s on sight restaurant fantastic food and even better service from Ibrahim

The staff made this hotel mo behind the bar and mr mark on the recoil men and cleaners excellent couldn’t fault them was our second return visit.. but after we heard some terrible things about the new management we will not be returning again as we found out last year they poisoned over 50 cats Including pregnant mums , they were also shot we all agreed as a group this was unacceptable behaviour and left us heartbroken.. shame on you killing innocent cats and kittens

Mixed review as the price was reasonable I would say the hotel was ok but could be better . I think as I like the beach next to the hotel I struggled with being in land . I know there is a shuttle bus regularly to the beach but the experience we had at the sandy beach wasn’t good due to the fact of the locals having priority,food and lounges we left after a few hours . The food in the hotel was average. The hotel room was lovely and cleaned a few times The pool guys were amazing Would we go back probably not due to location

This is my second time staying at St. George Homestay in Sharm El Sheikh and once again it has been excellent. We actually came here for our honeymoon and the hotel kindly upgraded our room, which was a lovely surprise and made our stay even more special. The service has been fantastic as usual, with all the staff being friendly, helpful and always happy to assist with anything we needed. The hotel has a beautiful private beach which is kept clean and is a great place to relax. There’s also a shuttle bus to both Old Town and Naama Bay, which makes getting around really easy. Whenever we wanted to go somewhere else, the hotel staff were more than happy to arrange taxis for us. Overall, we’ve had another amazing stay and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Definitely recommend St. George Homestay to anyone visiting Sharm El Sheikh.

We had an absolutely fantastic time here. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and could not do enough for us, which really made the stay special. The food at the hotel was fine. We only had dinner there twice. On the other evenings we went out instead, as it is so affordable nearby. A taxi to Soho Square and other local spots costs less than £3, which makes exploring really easy. We did not experience much of the evening entertainment outside the pool area, but the pool entertainment, especially in the last few days, was amazing. The Pink Party was and we did a private transfer, which was only £30 return. This was with Falcon Adventure Excursions Sharm definitely a highlight of the trip. We also did quad biking, which was brilliant and something we would highly recommend with Falcon. We will return 🏝️🍸🌞💕

Our first time in Sharm and found a great hotel we’d happily return to. Great location not too far from The Old Market or Naama Bay. The hotel was clean and tidy, rooms were spacious and cleaned everyday. The food was good and we always found something to eat even with the kids, can sometimes become a little repetitive but not too bad. The staff were amazing and always polite. The only issues we could moan about would be the kids entertainment lacks a little and we found the bar by the kids entertainment was sparse of choice and only open for maybe half an hour or so during the entertainment. If you wanted to drink a little longer you had to go back to the lobby bar and drink there. We felt very safe in the resort not only with the kids but with our belongings too. We didn’t use the safe in the room and nothing ever went missing, even leaving iPads and cash laying about the room was never a worry. Another thing that we didn’t like was the hassling around the pool from the spa, excursions and local entertainment bought in during the day asking for money, when we were there they had an Egyptian group come in and play music and dance. They would surround your sun bed playing music and dancing in your face until you gave them money which we didn’t but this led to them coming around 2/3 times which was too much. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking at going to Sharm.

The food was better than I expected, with plenty of choice at each meal. We also enjoyed spending time around the pool, where there was always a relaxed atmosphere. The free shuttle buses to the beach and Naama Bay were very useful and made it easy to get around without having to use taxis all the time. If you're visiting Sharm for the first time, I'd recommend doing some research before you go. Overall, we had a lovely holiday and would happily stay here again. Great value for money and a good base for exploring Sharm El Sheikh.

Very nice hotel to spend Holliday. Ibrahim is a very kind person, full of professionalism. He was doing everything to keep us satisfied.
