Reception Staff good at arrival and departure. Rude, arrogant,ignorant bar and waiting staff.Do not expect to be rudely dismissed with a wave of hand at any hotel.let alone an alleged 5* hotel. Food was very poor. Ist time ive seen Grey chicken. Not too keen on meat being served on the bone either. Mmmm leaving today with food poisoning and this is best bit. Definitely will not return nor recommend Novotel or sharm el sheikh tbh.As a much travelled british holidaymaker I do not expect to be waited on hand and foot, however, there was a clear distinction made between us and the other russian and middle eastern nationals staying at this hotel. Unacceptable and this place would maybe get 3* in arab Emirates or Europe/rest of world, in my opinion,.

Novotel Palms is a Scam. If you don't get a beach wing room, be ready to the fact that you will be placed in the Palms wing, which is really a different hotel, with a different reception across the street, thus much farther from the beach. Don't tell your taxi you're going to Novotel Sharm El-Sheikh, but that you're going to Novotel Palms ... even though it is portrayed here as if it was just a different section. I was very annoyed and am convinced that this is very dishonest and Novotel should correct it by clearly specifying that it is a different hotel where you have to cross a 6 way street to get to the other hotel with the beach.

the crew is good spicly eslam from reseption and thay have gust reletion that check your comfortable

F&b service horrible, no service staff rude , manager rude !!! Gym close and not imformed Resort under renovation .... Terrible experience

Nice hotel

We stayed in palm wings side. There was clean and peaceful,but it was far away from the sea and dinner restaurant. However, the beach side had some construct process, crowded and too loudly. I did not reccomend beach side for families. WiFi was a big problem because it did not work even palm wings lobi during the holiday. Also breakfast was not good enough, we ate same things every single days. Dinner was beter than breakfast but it was not sufficient.

Never had a horrible experience like this before. 1. I bought an all inclusive rate the receptionist told me alcohol is not included unless I pay more. The receptionist tried to make me pay more saying i made a mistake in the booking. 2. The staff doesn’t speak any language not English not Russian not anything, my son who only speaks english had a hard time getting ‘water’ from the bar because the bartender doesn’t know what the word ‘water’ means. 3. Cheap food not open buffet, no variety. & borderline rude restaurant staff. 4. If you buy the all inclusive you have to cross the street to get to the restaurant where lunch & dinner are. If you do NOT buy the all inclusive rate, you will have the restaurants right in the same building. 5. I stayed in 3 stars hotels & resorts & got better service & amenities than this ‘5 star’ hotel. 6. Management & staff are a bigger problem than the old facilities of this hotel. 7. On the way to get to the restaurant staff cut tree branches & put it in your way or the path will be full of mud from watering the plants no common sense. I do not recommend staying there. I thought Accor hotels may have better standards than the rest but my stay there will have me stay away from this chain all together.

I liked the beach ,i did not like the restriction when you enter and when to leave the beach ,i did not like the sales peoples too many of them you can not relax ,i did not like the foid they can not provide a simple thing white normal bread for a 5* you have to asked for things should be there anyway . I would not class this hotel as 5* i have been to a less * who provided better services .never again
