V Hotel Sharm El Sheikh

"We have just returned from the most amazing holiday at V Hotel Egypt, and honestly, we cannot recommend this hotel enough! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and the staff went above and beyond to make our family holiday so special. We have made some wonderful memories and met some truly lovely people who deserve a special mention. ❤️ 🌟 The most amazing staff Horus – Excursions The most kind, genuine excursion man! We decided not to book an excursion as it wasn’t really our thing, but Horus never once pushed us or made us feel obliged. He was simply lovely, friendly and genuine. It was so refreshing to meet someone who was just kind for the sake of being kind. Thank you, Horus! 🥰 Karim – Our lovely friend Karim was so lovely, sweet and caring. He looked after my family so well on our night out to the club. I was feeling anxious about going, but he helped me overcome that and made me feel comfortable. He promised he would make sure we were looked after, and he absolutely kept his word! He made the night so much more enjoyable, and we are so grateful. ❤️ Abdo – Swim-up bar legend The most amazing, friendly, sweet and helpful member of staff! My family absolutely adored Abdo at the swim-up bar. He always made us feel so welcome and looked after us brilliantly. We spent hours at the swim-up bar enjoying ourselves, and Abdo was a huge part of making it such a highlight of our holiday. His blue lagoons were unreal! 🍹💙 Khalil – Best barman! The BEST! So funny, sweet and always putting a smile on our faces. Khalil was such a joy to be around, and his lovely personality made every visit to the bar even better. 🍸 Reda – An absolute favourite The BEST! So sweet, so funny and we absolutely adored him.

Mito brought so much laughter and energy, and we loved every minute of it. 😂 Sam – Welcoming and friendly So welcoming, friendly and lovely. Thank you for making us feel at home!

Ahmed – Reception Ahmed at reception was so lovely and had so much time for everyone. He was always friendly, patient and happy to help. Thank you for making us feel so welcome! Dr Mohamed – A heart of gold Dr Mohamed deserves a special mention. He really took care of our family and gave us so much of his time and kindness.

We would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thank you for looking after us so well! ❤️ Amr – Beach Amr looked after us so well on the beach and was always friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our beach days even more enjoyable! 🌟 Mr Zain – Above and beyond A special mention to Mr Zain, who couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay. He genuinely went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic holiday and that our family felt well looked after. His kindness, care and attention really made a difference, and we are so grateful for everything he did for us. Thank you, Mr Zain, for helping make our stay so special! ❤️ 🍽️ The A La Cartes We really enjoyed the A La Carte restaurants. Some were definitely favourites over others, but overall, we had some lovely meals and experiences. Sea Salt was a particular favourite of ours! 🐟🌊 We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend giving it a try. We were also really impressed with how quickly and efficiently we were dealt with. The service was lovely, and everything was handled well, making our dining experiences even more enjoyable. ☕️ The coffee bar – UNREAL! The coffee bar was honestly amazing! From frappes and iced coffees to hot coffee and delicious cakes, there was something for everyone. The swings were also such a lovely touch and made the perfect place to sit and enjoy a drink. We absolutely loved it! 🧋🍰 🍹 The swim-up bar – Our favourite! The swim-up bar was definitely one of the biggest highlights of our holiday! We spent hours there sipping drinks, enjoying the sunshine and making memories. Abdo’s blue lagoons were a particular favourite! 💙 There is nothing better than relaxing in the pool with a drink in hand, and the swim-up bar made it even more special. We absolutely loved it! 🏖️ Beach & snorkelling The beach and snorkelling were just the best! Top notch! The sea was beautiful, and we loved spending time enjoying the beach and everything it had to offer. Such a lovely part of our holiday. 🐠🌊 🛏️ Rooms & views Our rooms were good, and the views were great! We were happy with our accommodation and loved waking up to the beautiful surroundings. In places the rooms were tired, and worn, but any issues we did have were dealt with immediately and resolved well. ❤️ Overall We had a fantastic time at V Hotel Egypt. What really made this holiday so special was the people. The staff were so kind, friendly, funny and welcoming, and we genuinely felt looked after throughout our stay. We have made some amazing memories, met some wonderful people and had the most brilliant family holiday. A massive thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable – you all deserve a special mention! We will definitely be remembering this holiday for a long time. 🇪🇬☀️🍹 Thank you, V Hotel Egypt, for an unforgettable holiday! ❤️"

"-NOT WORTH IT- Place looks cool but the events,overall vibes and animation team were all bad. We came 4 people and 4 of us return home sick with a stomach issue,food looks good but I think they use some wierd oils for cooking.THEY USE THE WORST POSSIBLE ALCOHOLS.if you have the people you love with you everywhere feels good but if you think this place as a hotel the place is BAD"

"We paid around £5,000 for this holiday and unfortunately the hotel fell nowhere near the standard we expected from a 5-star resort. We arrived at around 11pm with 3 adults and 3 children under 5, already exhausted and hungry after travelling. One of the rooms we were given was correct and decent, but the second room — which was supposed to accommodate 2 adults and 3 young children — was completely different from what we had booked. It was a very small room that we were expected to squeeze into, and it was also extremely far away from the main part of the hotel where the restaurants and pools were located. The room we had booked was supposed to be a larger room in the main part of the hotel. When we raised this with reception, rather than helping us, the receptionists simply blamed Love Holidays, who we had booked through. We were told that if we wanted the room we had actually booked, we would have to pay several hundred pounds extra, or contact Love Holidays ourselves. This was now around midnight, with three small children who were crying and exhausted. Love Holidays was not realistically available to resolve the issue at that time. Despite explaining the situation, the reception staff were extremely rude, impatient and completely unwilling to help. Their attitude was essentially that it was our problem to sort out. After already paying £5,000 for the holiday, we eventually felt we had no choice but to pay the additional money for the room we should have been given in the first place. Even then, the replacement room was still extremely far from the main hotel facilities. We had to rely on a shuttle bus, which could involve waiting around 10 minutes in 40°C heat, something that was particularly difficult with young children and a buggy. There were also a lot of stairs and the lift was faulty, making getting around with a buggy and small children incredibly difficult. Poor support from Sun International A guide from Sun International was also supposed to arrange a welcome meeting with us at the hotel, where he would explain how the hotel worked, show us where the different facilities were and tell us about the excursions available. Unfortunately, after hearing about our room situation and seeing how upset we all were, he did not bother arranging the welcome meeting at all. We actually saw him several times throughout our stay, yet nobody followed up with us or offered the support we were supposed to receive. We were left to figure everything out ourselves, despite this being something we were specifically supposed to have assistance with. Food poisoning Another major concern was that 3 of us — 2 adults and 1 child — became ill with what appeared to be food poisoning during the holiday. We had only eaten and drunk at the resort, so naturally this was extremely concerning. With a young child becoming ill as well, it made an already disappointing holiday even more stressful. I cannot say with certainty what caused the illness, but the fact that all three of us became unwell while only consuming food and drinks from the resort is something I feel potential guests should be aware of. The beach The beach was another disappointment. It was a long way from the main part of the hotel, had very few sunbeds and was essentially a small, stony beach surrounded by lots of boats. It was nothing like what we expected from a 5-star resort. Overall, this hotel felt extremely overpriced and nowhere near 5-star standard. In our experience, it was closer to a 2-star experience in terms of the rooms, service and facilities. The biggest disappointment was the reception staff and the complete lack of willingness to help when we arrived late at night with three very young children. After spending £5,000, we expected much better customer service and certainly did not expect to have to pay hundreds more to receive the accommodation we had already booked. The positives: the restaurant staff were friendly and welcoming, and the shuttle bus driver was also very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, those positives were not enough to make up for the overall experience. I would not recommend this hotel, particularly to families with young children. Definitely not the 5-star experience we paid for."
