I stayed at the RS in December with three friends. The experience was perfect from the moment we arrived at the airport. George and his team ensured we were thru immigration quickly and we were greeted on arrived in the lounge with a glass of champagne. The service from all the staff was superb with particular mention going to Vishoy, the waiter by the beach, who just could not do enough for us. The food overall was very good, the seafood restaurant by the beach and breakfast in the lounge were both excellent!
We had two adjoining rooms, both decorated beautifully with large bathrooms and great views. There was some building work going on, but we didn't hear any noise.
Lastly, the scuba diving was a real treat.
Thanks RS for a truly fantastic weekend. The Wigwams

We had a pleasant week in the Royal Savoy in January although I feel there is some ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

-On the positive side I would include

*very good pick up at the airport helping with the pasport control
*good room although the advertised 'sea view' is restricted and is mainly a 'pool view'
*superb service from beach waiters and spa staff, very good service from waiters in savoy lounge
*good choice of restaurants in soho square with aceptable prices.

-On the areas I feel the hotel management could improve I would include

*the hotel clearly states that hey have a 'no groups policy' however we were disapointed to see tha they have a GROUP OF ABOUT 20 TEENAGERS in one of their villas who were VERY NOISE AND INTIMIDATING for other guests at times in the beach-swimmin pool area-restaurants-soho square...
*the RECEPTIONISTS offered consistently BELOW AVERAGE SERVICE more suitable for a 3-4 starts hotel than for a self-proclaimed 'vip hotel'. They were ABRUPT and UNCOMPETENT several times and I feel they were WELL BELOW the very good level of customer service that we received from rest of the staff in the Royal Savoy
*After a seven days of having complementary drinks in beach and lounge we were disapointed that the receptionist told us that we could not have more complementary drinks in our last day from 15.00 onwards. (We never had this in any other hotel with a similar package and definitely would not expect it from a 5* hotel)

-On the areas for the near future I feel the future guests need to watch out

*They are finishing several rooms as an extension of the Royal. Although I understand that the new area has its own reception & lounge I am CONCERNED that the big increase in guests for the Royal has the POTENTIAL to make the beach area-pools & other common areas VERY CROWDED (unless they extend the beach area and put more tents...)

When we go back to Sharm in the future I think is worth it that you check and compare the latest reviews before consider to book the Royal or perhaps try one of the other very good top 5starts hotels

Stayed in this hotel a couple of weeks ago……I totally agree with the comments made by reviewer tengallon of St.Andrews…..they are a very accurate reflection of our experience and opinions.
To add however, the ‘meet and greet’ service provided by the hotel is outstanding - George and his driver are to be commended on the level of speed and service in getting us through the airport formalities during our arrival and departure, they were second to none.
The RS private pools are very well maintained, the water very warm with good pool bar service but there were occasions when non RS guests passed through – as it was quiet no real issue…but at full capacity there would be no exclusive feel at all.
We were very disappointed with the number of restaurants that were closed each night…..due, we guess, to lack of guest numbers and our experience of those in Soho Square were so poor we would not return. Be aware that RS guests are charged for what they consider to be ‘premium’ drinks, e.g. Jack Daniel’s etc. during Happy Hour
With regret, we have to conclude this is not a true 5* hotel……unlike the Four Seasons next door, that we consider to be the benchmark.
We too, remain undecided as to whether we would return or recommend…..there would need to be a considerable uplift in quality of facilities after the refurb has been completed…..we await the reports of others when it has ‘settled in’ after these major (and at times noisy) works.

Was out in Egypt diving at Sharm with my family.
This is a very smart hotel with good rooms and decent food the only problem we found was it was a bit tired.
It is in need of bringing up to date,building work was going on while we were there.
The staff are very friendly and helpful
I have stayed at a few Savoys and this one is just a little down market at the minutes am sure once the updating has been completed it will be fine
