TL;DR
Travelers report frequent stomach infections at Xanadu and Palma hotels in Sharm El Sheikh; as an alternative to Palma, Aladdin Beach is recommended — similar price but much better quality.
A stay at Palma hotel turned into a nightmare — many guests suffered stomach infections, and right outside the hotel exit there's an unkempt empty lot. The traveler recommends choosing Aladdin Beach instead — similar price but vastly better quality.
One traveler noted that during a 3-week trip, eating mostly street food and local eateries (aside from hotel breakfasts), she had zero stomach issues — suggesting the problem lies with specific hotels rather than local food in general.
Xanadu hotel had a severe stomach infection outbreak last May — it was discussed both on the beach and in the chat. The traveler stayed at Arabeska hotel that time and avoided booking Xanadu because of these reports, despite its higher hotel category.
