Devil Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 5 minutes ago, nudge said: Serves you right for eating at the hotel, tbh Nah, but in all seriousness, that sounds bad. A random food poisoning is one thing, sending 50 guests to a hospital is completely unacceptable. The Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahrm reported that it was a five-star AMC Royal hotel. Is it the one you were staying at??? No, mine was a five star but not that resort. Ours was the Jaz Aquamarina. To be honest they all claim to be five star in Egypt and they all look outstanding but you get inside and you see its all a big fake mask. Once you are sick you tend to look at stuff with a more open eye and the place cuts far too many corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just skimming through reviews, it seems you were not the only one to get food poisoning in that hotel And yeah, there's no universal standard for giving "stars" to the hotels, so they can be very misleading. As someone who hates those huge, all-inclusive hotels and resorts, I avoid them like plague Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who hates those huge, all-inclusive hotels and resorts, I avoid them like plague To be honest I always go bed and breakfast or self catering but Egypt is pretty hard to find a resort that isn't all inclusive. I've been before and it was about the snorkeling for me. The food and drink were a second thought as I was desperate for my youngest daughter to see the coral and the sea life. Thankfully she managed that with me so it's still an experience shared. As for reviews, I doubt you'd find a single resort without food poisoning reviews, the place is riddled and I've now learned my lesson. I thought I was untouchable and as my mate said before I went, it's Russian roulette. I unfortunately took the bullet this time. Never again now though.

Carnivore Chris Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Rules relaxed again where you only have to have a test 2 days after arriving back in England, as it was when I went away in October. Hopefully it stays like that for March! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
