Worst hotel I have ever stayed in! and other Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL!
When you first arrive, this hotel seems to be perfect. Beautiful pool, choice of restaurants, nice rooms.....but within a few days the crack were beginning to show terribly.
We only ate at the hotel as it was all inclusive and after 3 days my boyfriend came down with a very serious case of food poisoning. He was violently sick for the rest of the week, it ruined our holiday, trips we had planned had to be cancelled and we were refused our money back! After speaking to a number of people in the hotel surgery, it seemed like many other people had the same poisoning! Now, I'm not silly - I know this is Egypt and you have to be careful. But staying at the Hilton I expected things to be better and far more hygenic!
And whats worse, was that as we went to the hotel doctor as it was an emergency, he would not say it was food poisoning as he worked for the hotel! Even though there were hundreds ill with the same thing!
Other things that were bad about this hotel:
- The air conditioning broke and was leaking all over the floor, we called for someone to come fix it several times but no one came!
- Lunch time the food was left out by the pool for hours with birds all over it. Its no wonder people got sick eating that!
- To get a seat by the pool you have to get up in the middle of the night as it was impossible in the daytime!
- When I had to go for meals alone when my boyfriend was ill, I was constantly harrassed by the staff, they should be told to be more professional!
- I got locked in the toilet in the reception area. I called for help but no one came, I was in there over an hour before I managed to break the door down!

Unique Qualities: The only good thing was the location. Sharks Bay is amazing, if a little crowded. The fish you can see swimming just off the jetties were unbelievable! Even a dolphin came to visit one day!
I would recommend Sharks bay, just not this hotel.
