  • Well done - sounds a really good deal.

    thats realy weird the school holidays up here up north are thursday before good friday 20th march to april 6th ! seems strange to split up the school holidays and the bank holidays ! thats why the flights are so expensive anywhere north of birmingham !
    hope it helps someone !

    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking

    Is this the place you are staying at? :confused: (I can't find anything called Sharha....is it me?)

    Clicky

    Just wondered if you've been recommended it and so you perhaps know a little more about it? As these aren't the only reviews on the net which are saying that it's not appropriate for families?

    i have stayed there before. That was 10 years ago on a lads holiday. I think it says not suitable for families as in the summer it is full of lads and girls holidays, i think it should be quieter at Easter.

    The hotel is pretty basic, but the pool is good and everything is within walking distance.

    The reviews that are particularly sticking in my mind are the ones that mention used condoms on the floor in reception, people having sex in the pools, children being propositioned for sex, bottles and chairs being thrown off balconies, robberies, sick and urine in corridors and wet T shirt competitions. I would strongly suggest finding out some more information before you take your family here (or at least have a back up plan if it's as bad as some have said).

    I was interested in this until I started reading the reviews....this is just one of them!

    On day 4, we finally managed to get some sunbeds and whilst we were relaxing, we were almost hit by chairs, tables and even a microwave. I complained to a member of staff, but he was more interested in seducing my wife. The youths found out we had reported them and we were bombarded by excrement for the rest of that day. My youngest daughter had poo stuck in her hair. I don’t find this at all funny, yet the hotel manager did.



    They are absolutely shocking....I can't believe anyone would actually PAY to stay at a place like that!!

    Fair play to the OP, but I wonder if they read up on the place before they booked??
