I think it depends on what you want from a resort as well. The apartments were were offered at Delta Sharm didn't have the same finish as the ones at SSQ which are all nicely tiled etc in very tasteful colours.
When the bomb went off in Sharm, Delta Sharm was the one place people wanted to stay and many left their hotels to continue their holiday there...why? ...enclosed = security.
Something worth thinking about for anyone buying in Sharm.

i personal think delta has got it right in the way of resort and how it looks to say its shabby , strange, as for the resorts you went round and play it clever i can think 2 of those are in trouble so your agent was thinking of one thing, and that wasnt you

Was at Sunny Lakes on 16th May. Work being done, apartments are being completed to a high spec. Its good value for money and close to Naama Bay without being right in the middle. Would have bought their ourselves if it was closer to the beach.

From speaking to people in and around Sharm, there were 2 schools of though onDelta Sharm: 1) that its reasonably priced, well established and full of Brits 2) that is (I quote them not me!) " a bit of a zoo".
I'm not saying that there aren't some very nice apartments there (have seen pictures of some lovely apartments on Delta Sharm) but some are very run down due to the people who have owned them. Not all people have standards! I'd say it was the same on most resorts for resale properties. Riviera Sharm had a similar feel.
For us, we didn't like the location of Delta Sharm, its a bit in the middle of nowhere. We wanted somewhere that we could walk to the beach and that is what we've bought into.

Sunny Lakes is just outside Naama Bay, not far from the Roman Theatre. Its maybe a 10-15 minute walk into Naama Bay.
1 bed apartment is £27,000, or £30,000 furnished. Show apartment was very nice. The apartment we were considering buying was just behind the retail area so we wanted something writing into the contract about there not being a service road built behind this. That would be very noisy! In the end we wanted an apartment closer to the beach but Sunny Lakes was a strong contender.
The resort will contain 8 pools

ok thanks for that, i would have to say I don't consider Delta to be in the middle of nowhere, 5 mins in taxi to naama. Close to beach too by taxi.Any more info on places to buy would be gratefully received! thanks

Gold Sharm (£32,000/£36,000 fully furnished depending on size) - also close to Naama Bay but on the other side
Sunny Lakes £27,000 (or £30,000) furnished
Riviera Sharm (approx 10 mins walk into Naama Bay and they are still building there as well as resale) £29,000 furnished. One apartment there had a nice (distant) sea view but we found the resort to be a bit crowded.
International Resort, Nabq Bay £24,000 without furniture (part of Egyptian Experience company). Apartments had nice layout but right behind a little shopping mall and no private beach access
We were offered a furnished apartment in Delta Sharm for £29,000 but wanted a beach within walking distance.

thanks, i think i would want unfurnished, pick my own. I think Nabq would be too far out for me.It just seems such a minefield! Thanks once again.

Nabq is very quiet at the moment but we're happy to know Naama Bay is just a taxi ride away for bars & restaurants plus my mum owns an apartment in Nabq Bay.
For value and proximity to Naama Bay, I'd say Sunny Lakes was best.

Just looked at my message, I dont mean I think Nabq is literally a minefield! I mean the whole buying process, not knowing the situations.

Hi All, I am planning to buy an appartment in sharm and recently on a trip with my girlfriend viewed a few places that we thought were nice, we also too had a look at Delta Sahrm and wondered about the security although i might it wrong we thought you could just walk into the resort from the side but I may be wrong sorry, anyhow I want to buy and was thinking of nabq bay but it seems there is alot of negativity on here can anyone help. We went to see a few places and are planning to return in a few weeks to to a deal and are now confused and very worried.
We spoke to ERA and to Sahrm el sheikh real eastate and thought both were good and friendly, we went to see about five resortrs but cant rememner all the names but I think one was sharm bride andother el hayat sharm and a couple of others and one up in the hills with a golf course.... Which ones are bad and which ones are good and most of all which ones will finish..
any help would be appreciated

Do you mean Ritz Carlton at Ras um Sidd ( near the lighthouse)? If yes do you know those buildings have sat like that for the last 5 years!

No I didn't penny, so thats that I suppose, back to the options in Nabq Bay, what a minefield. Thanks

Actually no, I think that's a nice location, and if I was buying for a place to live it would be great, and much better than being all the way out at Nabq in middle of the desert. Like I said in my PM depends why you are buying. If you like Ritz Carlton just know you could bargain really hard as they have sat empty so long and be sure to find out what the plans and guarantees are on completion of the site. I think those buildings were originally intended for the hotel so again if the hotel does not see enough occupancy to fill them itself that tells you something if you are planning to rent.

Re 'Ritz' Carlton - the Ritz has nothing to do with this resort and there is no deal secured yet that will allow the residents of the apartments (or the villas, if they're ever finished!!) to use the Ritz facilities. The firm that is managing the project is called Carlton Management - took us a day of asking questions to get the agent to admit that one!!

Farstar - I didn't think think the 3% tax applied in Sharm because you don't actually register the property?

Just back from Sharm yesterday and was quoted £24,100 for 1 bed ground floor apartment without furniture. Is this reasonable, anybody give me an IDIOTS guide to the procedure of what happens next and the time scales involved? Also anyone dealt with Global International Properties? many thanks.
