“Fantastic Holiday.....Once Again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed here at the end of January for the 3rd time and once again this amazing hotel surpassed itself. We travelled with our 2 daughters aged 15 & 19 and the youngest ones best friend and once again we were throughly spoiled. Before we left home we said that this would probably be our last visit - having been here twice before, but as soon as we arrived it was like coming home! We were recognised by the majority of the staff - for the right reasons I hope! and it really made our holiday. Even though the hotel was quieter than when we came for the last 2 summers it didn't impact on the level of service or the quality of the food, drinks etc. We visited the French restaurant for my birthday and the meal was as sumptious as the last time - it is totally worth paying a bit extra for.
We stayed in the same room (4212) as previous visits and the room was cleaned to a very high standard - apologies for the girls bedroom! and was so convienient for reception, pools and the beach.
The bus was running each day and night which the girls took full advantage of and the driver was fantastic with them - as I said the staff recognised us from before and were so helpful and they have such a funny sense of humour - especially the guys in the pub and the caribbean bar - and a special mention has to go to Sameh from the leisure pool - an absolute sweetheart - missing those cocktails so much right now!
Please don't be put off coming to either this hotel or Sharm itself by the troubles in Cairo - I would have absolutely no hesitation in bringing my family back, in fact even though we said this would be our last visit to ROBB we are going to return for our daughters 21st next January. Well done to John and Chris and thank you for what's been our best holiday so far!

“EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE ... AND THIS IS BEFORE WE HAVE EVEN GOT THERE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

people found this review helpful

My husband and I are due to holiday at ROBB Sharm in a few weeks. We picked ROBB having read many reviews on Trip Advisor. Even though we have not yet been, I think it would be fair to say that if the EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE we are recieving prioir to our visit is anything to go by...we are in for a FAB HOLIDAY. As we are going on holiday for a special occassion, I have been emailing the reservations mgr: Mr Ahmed Hassan, and the service we have recieved back has been OUTSTANDING. Prompt replies to my emails, answering all of my questions and queries. he has forwarded on details to the relevant departments ie SPA and they have been just as good/prompt with their responses. THANKYOU for your help so far, we are looking forward to our holiday even more now as we now the Service is going to be Excellent. Thanks ROBB

“Ideal for some quick sun”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Here at the Blue Bay resort we had a really relaxing, wonderful time. We fancied a quick week away and booked Egypt as it was a quick flight for winter sun.
The resort is huge, but caters very well indeed for both families and couples by having very strict 'adults only' areas. Needless to say, as a young (ish) couple we would hit the adult pool in the morning and stay there all day. The bar at the pool served drinks and snacks and so most days we didn't even bother to go to the main restaurants for lunch. We stayed on the sunbeds reading, drinking and lazing until the sun dipped below the horizon in the early evening.
We were both a little worried about the food, being all inclusive, but 4 of the restaurants were A La Carte, and only the big restaurant was of a buffet style. The food is pretty homely, heavily salted, but it isn't bad by any stretch, and we loved the Grill Restaurant. Of course we weren't on a culinary excursion - the food was always tasty, filled our bellies, and helped to soak up the surprisingly good Egyptian beer.
We didn't go on any trips at all - we simply chilled out for the whole week. The room was spotless, the staff were incredibly polite and interesting, the bazaar was great to have a stroll through in the evening. We even caught a show one night.
We really enjoyed it here, and I have no doubt we'll be back for another cheeky week of sun just before Xmas 2012!

“2nd visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Most has already been said ,some changes for our 1st visit which had been in Sept 2008.
The main dinning room stayed open at lunch time which we found much better if you where not on the beach .The lifts in full working order not finished the last time,although using the buses wasn't a problem .You could also get lifts from the staff on the golf type buggies if you had a problem with walking .You will need a jacket for night as it's quite cool .The relax pool very cold ,the sea much warmer . The heat went out of the sun at about 3.30ish so then a little cool for sun bathing.Staff work very hard and are very friendly ,no problems with regard to having to tip to get the service . They hadn't seen that we had been there before the emails I had sent had not been replied to.They can't do hourly check outs they have to be either 3 or 6 hours at a high charge ,which I found very strange when ther motto is highest standard of service to all the guest .Thomson advisors couldn't help with this either .unless as a personal favour which is not what we wonted.Planes to small as very cramped for a med haul flight 51/2 and 6 hours back .something we will look at before travellingwith Thompson again .No tv etc on the flight either another cost cutting excersise .

Room Tip: Stayed in block 5 2nd floor quite room /near to the entrance of the hotel.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to share your most recent experience while visiting our resort. Sorry that we did not receive your email, and for the late checkout please note that majority of all hotels charges the late check out as a fixed price not per hour! Maybe in smaller capacity hotels they do. We are indeed delighted that you've enjoyed your holiday with us. We look forward to welcome you back in the nearest future,

Warm Regards from all of us
