:cry: just heard from first choice, our holiday in the Grand Sharm hotel, has been cancelled for June 06, and they have offered us the St George, three corners as an alternative, abit disapointed, as it is not on the beach, and A/I meals, are only in one restaurant, just on my way to the travel agents to bash it out with them :evil: just thought i'd let you know ta ta for now. bebe.

8) Hi Gavin. sorry not to reply sooner. Well we are definately goin to St George three corners, as we were told that the Grand Sharm is still a shell.
A bit niffed as we booked a deluxe room on the beach and the St. George has standard rooms and the beach is a bus ride away, but as there are six of us goin it was a bit hard to book in somewhere else and we couldn't change our flights. Oh well this isnt goin to stop us havin a ball. Will look out for those cowboys buildin the hotel and give them hell. ps we got a good discount too.

hi Gavin, as you know I am going (hopefully) to the Grand sharm in November, I booked online through Panorama holidays. Two of our friends have decided to come with us, but Grand sharm is not coming up as an option for them. It is still on the property search of the web site but I keep getting an error message saying the hotel is no longer available. This has been happening for the last month at least. I just hope this is a temporary hicup and the hotel is still available. Any date this year or next is coming up with the same message....... I must admit I'm a bit concerned as to what is happening. :shock:

HI Gavin I have just recieved a reply to my email saying the hotel will not be finished in time for guest by the end of the year due to contractual difficulties what ever that means. I booked through Panorama and I must say I am really disapointed with theeir customer service or lack of it on the other hand. I have been told they will be in touch in the next 3 weeks to offer alternative accomodation. I am not best pleased to say the least. Let me know how you get on.

What has happened to the Grand Sharm Hotel, is it worth booking for this month. It sounds great in the brochures but I'm not sure it's ready. Can anyone help?
