TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
“Abysmal…Never Again!”
Review of the Siva Sharm Resort & Spa
The food itself was handled in a way that does not conform to basic food hygiene standards; it was often under cooked and left out for hours at a time in the blistering heat. To make matters worse, from the third day of my holiday my husband and I both suffered from severe diarrhoea as a result of the food. As a result of this, we couldn’t attend any of the excursions we had planned.
