Xperience St.George Homestay

"We booked this as a last minute budget friendly hotel. Not my usual holiday, I normally book at 5 stars which are at least x3.5 the price. I went in with realistic expectations & can honestly say I was blown away by this hotel. I could have paid a lot more & still felt I had amazing value for money. We had a ground floor room directly facing out to the quiet room. It was perfect, comfortable beds, meticulously clean & topped up with water every day. Also took advantage of the extremely competitively priced laundry service, very impressed. It was lovely being able to leave the patio door open & pop in & out during the day. WiFi was great across all areas. We only frequented the quiet pool. It was perfect! I’m an early riser & would sit for a least an hour before the first member of staff or guest arrived, this absolutely made my holiday having that silence in the sun. Even by 10am there weren’t many around the pool & the beds were half empty throughout the day (no sun beds wars here!). Even the activity / loud pool when we passed during the day had lots of sun beds free. The pool & surrounding areas were kept very clean. Thank you to the pool bar waiter who kept us topped up with drinks, especially as he was happy to keep my big mug topped up with ice & water. In regards to the food… I’ve seen lots of comments… let me first say I’m used to eating in only à la carte restaurants on holiday… the food availability and quality (I’m a bit of a chef at home) vastly exceeded my expectations. To balance the views, yes on a few occasions a very few of the dishes I agree could be bland. However, the majority of others had a depth of flavour I would have happily paid for. I understand some comments the variety was not vast, however this is a smaller hotel & in my honest opinion they offered a far wider selection than should be expected for a hotel of this size. You would have to have to be extremely fussy or have a very limited palette to not find something you liked at any sitting. What I loved about this hotel is that the staff & managers would also be seen eating from all the dishes at the buffet, it was constantly being watched & monitored. The food was always hot, which is nearly unheard of an all inclusive (especially as we arrived for the last half an hour of each sitting). A special shout out to Adi who was very professional and looked after us. We took advantage of the free shuttle buses to the beach and evening locations. All very organised and no complaints. The staff really make this hotel. A massive shout out to everyone in the reception team, from check in to check out, nothing was too much trouble and they helped with every query we had. I honestly went in thinking this was not a holiday I would want to do again (only because not my usual holiday, but limited by budget). I went away not only feeling like I’d wasted so much money on other holidays, but have booked again to return to October! I am now a fully fledged repeat customer. I completely understand why people come back again and again! Thank you to all of the staff, from managers, reception, waiters, housekeepers, chefs and gardeners , you have created something something truly special. Incredible value for money. I’ll admit I can be hard to please and you won me over from the moment I stepped off the coach! Your business plan, strategy and execution is flawless. We look forward to seeing you all again soon."

"It was my 10th time to going to Sharm El Sheikh. I travel solo all the time. When booking this time, I decided I wanted all inclusive, good food, clean rooms and a couple of pools. Location was not a major factor, because I am well versed using taxis that are very cheap to get around. St George popped up. No single supplement either. (this is not the case with a lot of hotels) So my usual investigations I decided to book. Well, I am so glad I did !! The hotel is fairly new compared with others. It is in the middle of nowhere but only 10 minutes to Naama Bay, 5 minutes to Delta Sharm and about 15 minutes to Soho Square. The cleanliness of the rooms in amazing. Cleaned every day and if required, clean towels every day. The aircon works very well which is essential. All rooms have a small balcony with chairs and a table and sliding French doors. There are 2 pools in the hotel, both with all inclusive pool bars, one is a quiet area and the other more vibrant. Free towels each day with room card. Food. Not everyone's favourite subject. There was so many options, buffet style, for Breakfast, Lunch and Evening meal. Hot or cold. The salad was unbelievably fresh every meal time. Pastries were to die for if you have a sweet tooth. Breakfast the lovely Omelettes. There is also an à la carte restaurant, which I never used but people saying it was lovely. The staff made my holiday. They ALL work hard and very very long hours. Check in/out was smooth with no issues, bag storage too for late outward flights. The reception staff was were so friendly and often remembered my room number. I was diving a lot and they prepared a 'picnic' for me to take on the boat. Waiting staff were efficient, always smiling, offering drinks. All staff gave a greeting each time you see them. On my birthday they decorated my bed with a towel in the shape of a heart and placed flowers and a huge cake too! Lucky there is a refrigerator in the room ! So would I go back again, the answer is yes."

"Fabulous place for a peaceful holiday. Quiet pool serene with bar. Clean Pool towel every day. Bed sheets and towels changed daily. All staff were friendly and helpful and did anything you need to make youre stay with them a positive one. My friend is gluten free and Exec Chef Ibrahim was STUPENDOUS. He showed us what she could eat that was out, but most days he cooked fresh plates each night and even included me. Desserts we're lovely but as shd couldn't eat them chef prepared a fresh fruit platter. Nino and Mark on reception will deal with any issues you have. Our hairdryer in room kept breaking so they delivered another to our room. They even came to our room to collect our luggage for us on checkout... we will be returning when possible"
