Hyatt Sharm el-Sheikh: Beautiful Hotel, Terrible Time

The Hyatt Regency Sharm el-Sheikh Hotel Review is part of the Trip Report Athens Marathon: The Original Course which includes the following cities:

Getting There: From the airport, you must take a taxi though they will try to sell you a camel if you don’t agree to get ripped off. I paid 50 EGP though I would be impressed if you got it for 30 EGP. The hotel is only a short distance away. The Hyatt provides free transport to the airport on the way back. Be sure not to forget your watch at the hotel before you depart.


The original plan was to run the Athens Marathon then go straight to Sharm for R&R. Then the plan changed to go to Cairo and Luxor and end the trip in Sharm. After the bombing of the Russian airliner where tragically 224 people were killed, I debated whether it was responsible to go to Sharm. I decided to go but unfortunately received the worst food poisoning my first night there. I was there for three days total and had a horrible time. Since I don’t want to recount the bad experience, this hotel review is going to be all pictures. Though the resort was beautiful, all I can think about when I see the pictures is how miserable I was.

Having said that, here is Hyatt Regency Sharm el-Sheikh hotel review.
