Holiday Reviews for Sharm El Sheikh
"My holiday in Sharm El Sheikh"
Weather : Absolutely glorious sunshine the whole time we were there!
Approx 31 degrees in the sun and even the sea was 27 degrees!
It was a little chilly in the evenings when we first arrived (2nd Nov) but warmed up as the days went by and the evenings were considerably warmer by the time we left (12th Nov).
Holiday : Fabulous! Couldn't fault a thing - weather, hotel, food, people, trips.
Absolutely everything was amazing and I'd highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going!
We stayed at Reef Oasis Beach Resort. It's the second time I've been and its one of the best hotels in Sharm el Sheikh, definitely one to try if you've not been before.
Only thing to be mindful of is the dreaded delly belly - not many people can avoid it so make sure you get some Antinal and start taking it as soon as you get there!
Places Recommended : We did a couple of trips. Bedouin Nights where you go out into the desert and ride a camel, then go and make bread with the Bedouins, eat some local food and smoke the Sheisha pipe, then complete the evening with star gazing where, if you're lucky (as we were) you see shooting stars. Absolutely phenomenal experience!
We also went Quad Biking at 4am (yes 4am) to watch the sun rise! Awesome!

"i love sharm el sheik"
Weather : When I went to Sharm el Sheikh the weather was gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky the whole time I was there.
Holiday : A holiday in Sharm el Sheikh was paradise.
I didnt expect it to be as good as it was but it was absolutely great.
I stayed in the Savita Spa and all of the staff were great and were very kind to you.
I would definitely go back again.
Places Recommended : If you go to Sharm el Sheikh I would recommend the Savita Spa hotel.
It is very clean and all of the staff are very friendly and would do anything to help your holiday be the best it could be.

"How Relaxing?"
Weather : We usually go to Sharm Feb/March each year (the past 5) and the weather is a comfotable 28. This year we experienced a sandstorm which lasted about 6 hours but the Bar was comfortable so thats where we stayed!
Holiday : We stayed at what was the Conrad and is now the Coral Sea Imperial, Fantastic!
Yes its advertised as 5 star and maybe 3 but faultless. Spotlessly clean, staff cannot do enough for you and good food which yes, does repeat itself. But what do you people who complain eat at home?
The beach and pools are fantastic and cleaned every day. The staff work exceptionally hard and have far more manners than most. Don't read reviews visit Sharm for yourself and make your own decision! The snorkling was like swimming in a tropical fish tank.
Places Recommended : Cairo, the Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, N/Bay but be prepared.
The Camel Bar is fab, with good food and a very relaxing atmosphere in the roof top bar. Just go and see for yourself.

Weather : The weather was beautiful, I was there at beginning of June, temps 42 and over, very hot, my lipstick melted on beach! .
Holiday : We stayed at Dreams Beach resort and had a fantastic holiday, in fact have already booked for September 2010. Very hot every day temps in upper 40s, so spent all day going in and out of the sea, fantastic snorkelling. Great food, very helpful staff, especially the beach guys, who really looked after us. Would absolutely recommend it.

"hyatyt regency - wonderful hotel"
Weather : The weather was extremely hot.
In the evening it is even worse because there was no breeze at all, but during the day you can spend a lot of time in the water.
Holiday : First we stopped at Cairo and I regret staying only one night and a day because there is so much to see.
The pyramids are really out of this world and and the Nile Cruise was fantastic.
About Sharm, I expected a lot more especially in the evening.
During the day there is nothing to do so it is wise to stay in a nice hotel and enjoy its amenities. Hyatt Regency was wonderfulm, like heaven and the staff were very kind and generous escpecially those golf car drivers - Hani and Ahmed.
Places Recommended : Old Sharm el Sheikh.
Ras Mohammed boat cruise.

"First time in Sharma El Sheikh"
Weather : We visited Sharma El Sheikh in November. The weather was perfect. The sunsets at 5pm were fantastic.
Holiday : We stayed at Concorde el Salam Beach in Sharks Bay. The new Savoy Centre was still being developed and looked fabulous. Hotel staff were friendly and worked long days so you can forgive their laid back approach at times !! We had a thoroughly relaxing holiday in an ideal location. Not much to do in the immediate area although there is the Concorde el Salam Sports hotel opposite - ice skating, horse riding.......all in all a great relaxing holiday.
Places Recommended : We ventured to Naama Bay which was a real experience!! Plenty of shops or you people watch in the many eating and drinking areas. So different to what I had imagined - be patient and friendly and you will enjoy it.

"My Holz In Sharm"
Weather : The weather was fabulous as always! It reached 52 one day and even i had to admit that was a bit uncomfortable but amazing for getting a tan and you barely notice when your swmming in the immense tropical fish tank! (red sea!) You just need to remember your Suncream. People complain that its too hot (why go to one of the hottest countries in the world then geniuses?) but actually when you are inside the air conditioning is wonderful and when outside shade is always available!
Holiday : Fantastic! I go every year with my family and we all adore it (14 times now)! Diving is spectacular i was just old enough to do my diving test last year and it was SO worth it! It seriously is like swimming in a fish tank but better! Even if you don't dive there are floating Jetties that you can paddle your feet off and the fish swirl all around your feet! Be carefull of the ice because if your body isn't used to it you may get a small stomach upset but nothing too terrible! We stay just outside N'ama bay in a beautiful hotel called the sheraton which is even fit for royalty! The staff are lovely and the hotel is modern, huge and has activities suitable for everyone.It is perched right next to the red sea! N'ama bay is really nice especially when you go to "The Camel Bar" which is an open top resaurant bar which is really nice but when walking around you do tend to be harrassed by the salesmen (they are just doing their job!) but ignore them and they will leave you alone!
Places Recommended : If you go i definetly reccomend: A day on a dive boat, The Camel Bar and Stay at the Hotel Sheraton!

"holiday baron palms sharm el sheikh"
Weather : Very hot and sunny but for one and a half days when it was hot and overcast .
The breeze off the sea made the temperature bearable . Very pleasant at night.
Holiday : The hotel was imacculate the staff constantly cleaning inside and out .
Situated a little way out but there was a bus into Naama bay but not impressed with Naama as i thought it a bit tatty .
The reef next to the hotel was stunning couldn't stop snorkling as the sea was 23 degrees .
The food was good ,buffet style with plenty of choice although all four of us suffered a tummy upset at times during our weeks stay .
Staff very freindly and mostly english speaking .
Swimming pool busy and even the heated pool was cold .
Places Recommended : Bedowuin night was really good .
Glass bottom boat was good .

"A wonderful holiday resort for chilling out"
Weather : Always lovely, heading back next week for the 9th time.
We only ever holiday between October and May otherwise the climate can be too hot and there not much to do except sit in the shade.
The evenings can be a bit chilly over Christmas/New Year especially on desert excursions but a sweat shirt is enough to stay warm.
The sand gets very hot during day so flip flops are needed to waters edge.
Holiday : Just wonderful, my favourite hotel is the Hilton Dreams as in centre of Naama Bay.
Movenpick is also very good.
Did once stay at Hilton Waterfall but too far out of town to walk in the evenings and had to get cabs .
There is a busy road through the town but quite easy to cross if careful.
Local police are on hand to stop traffic for crossing.
Staff are all helpful and everyone speaks English.
Places Recommended : I have done most of the trips.
Star gazing in the desert is most memorable as is boat trips.
For a relaxing holiday best places to go are the various restaurants in evening.

"Chrismas in Sharm El Sheik"
Weather : We arrived on 25th dec to find the weather was about 22'c & very windy.
However over the next few days we did have clear days but again followed by cloudy windy days.
The temp still about 22-23'c.
Holiday : The hotel we stayed in; Coral Sea Imperial in Sharm El Sheikh was faultless.
Very festive & clean.
They couldn't do enough for you.
On christmas day they had santa on a camel, riding around the beach giving each child a present.
New Year's Eve was out of this world, they went all out to celebrate our New Year, enough the staff even had a good time.
We loved our holiday that much we haved booked for christmas this year.
Places Recommended : We went to the old Town.
Was brillant to go on a shopping spree.
However don't take your daughters with you as we got plenty of offers to swap them for chickens.

"Egypt"
Weather : The weather was absolutely lovely it was approx 80 degrees every day with not a cloud in the sky. We had 2 windy days which prvented us from snorkelling because of the swell but we were thankful of th breeze as it cooled you down! You can rely on Egypt for all year round sun.
Holiday : Me and my friend went for a relaxing break from work and to do some snorkeling and scuba diving and catch some sun which is exactly what we did which was great. However we were very dissapointed with the accomodation as it was meant to be a 5 star resort but was far from it, it was more like a 3 star and we have been informed that many of the hotels in Egypt give themselves there own star rating which surely shouldnt be allowed as this is miss representation which the tour operator should be aware of??? The food was the main let down as it was absolutely disgusting and I dont say that lightly. My friend got food poisening and everyone we spoke to who were british had been ill or complained about the food even the entertainment staff are well aware of how bad the food is and apparently in the last 2 months it has improved!! The flies were evrywhere and crawling all over the food as the majority of the time it is served outside. I lived on dry bread rolls and water all week and lost half a stone. The alcohol was also no better and im absolutely certain the lager was alcohol free as you could get even tipsy on it and numerous guests also said the same. It advertises on the web that it has a health spa with jacuzzi which it doesnt just a slight error!! It also says it has a climbing wall and a free shuttle bus into town which it doesnt. We couldnt fault the friendliness of the staff however who were fantastic even though they are made to work very long hours for very very little pay. We feel totally let down by our tour operator who by the way didnt assign us a rep so we had no one to make a complaint about this to but one things for sure we wont use last minute.com again.
Places Recommended : We will go back to Egypt again to do our PADDI diving course as the coral reef in Egypt is the best weve encountered in the world. We would recommend to stay in Nama Bay which has better hotels better food and plenty going on at night. The outskirts are very quite and night time is very boring with nothing to do.

"Pyramisa Resort"
Weather : Weather was hot and sunny 30+ each day with exception of 1 day where some clouds were occasionally blockin out sun but for only short periods
Holiday : After hearing all negative reviews before going we were apprehensive but there must be a lot of british people who can never be satisfied.Hotel very impressive with 3 beaches, beach 1 being the best but busiest, staff couldn't have been more attentive especially if you give small tips,you get what you pay for and 5 star in Egypt is not 5 star in London, get over it folks if you want luxury you should expect to pay a lot more. Rooms large and comfortable resort does have a lot of steps so not for people wih walking difficulties.
Places Recommended : You must do the excursion to the pyramids in Cairo it is out of this world although the traffic and driving within the city is horrendous and made. Be careful what you pay as reps normally want between £145 - £200 but within our hotel pool area representatives from Sharm-Mania only charged £130 by air.

"Na'ama Bay - Fantastic Place"
Weather : Weather is fantastic - blue sky sunshine every day and very hot but not humid. cool breeze blows in from the sea making the heat comfortable but you need plenty of Factor 30 sun cream.
Holiday : We stayed in Na'ama Bay which is a bustling interesting place so long as you are able to stay calm and fend off the local population all wanting to sell you something and sign their visitors books!
Places Recommended : Ras Mohamed is great for seeing spectacular fish but the whole area is really excellent - the Red Sea must be one of the best places to free dive.

"sharm"
Weather : Relentlessly hot even at night had to drink 1.5 lts water every morning to replace fluids sweated out during sleep.
Great for tan though
Holiday : Naama bay is annoying with being pestered by paper sellers (yesterdays papers over priced) and people asking you to go into their shops!
Beach is good though, although Sharm in general is a filthy place the Egyptians have no respect for what they have and make no attempt to keep it clean, water bottles and rubbish everywhere, and they water their roadside plants with sewage as they can't afford to waste the clean water after all it is a dessert so the area smells a bit funky.
Its just their way takes a bit of getting used to but then its ok.
Places Recommended : Diving snorkeling anywhere its all good, but the Blue Hole was exceptional!!!

"reef oasis simply the best 10/10"
Weather : Well what can i say apart from simply the best,this hotel has it all its the best holiday I've ever had,the people that give it bad reviews must be on another planet complaing its too hot ,getting upset stomachs etc,
I've now been 4 times to the reef oasis and never had any problems,but the problem is you leave england to live in another country for 1 or 2 weeks its 100 temperatures,your eating and drinking differant things and your body carnt cope and thats what happens its not the hotel its your body reacting to something its not used to.
Holiday : Food.
I've heard some people say its all the same food every night maybe so but the choice is massive but some pile a bit of everything on so its like eating off a wedding buffet every night .
There's soups,breads,pasta dishes,salads,chickens,steaks,fish,potatoes,spag bols,curry dishes,chillis,pizzas,kebabs,chips,burgers,hot dogs,fries,potatoes,jacket potatoes,bbq stuff,rice dishes fresh fruit etc and if you can't find what you want ask the chef he will go make you something you want and you can even order a pizza in a box and take it out with you,desserts there must be 20 to 30 of them every night all differant now all in all thats a lot to choose from.
Staff : brilliant people do a great job working 24hrs they will look after you all night ice cold drinks lined up for you,tables reserved for you its just amazing what they will do for you, beach.
Again brilliant got its own bar and do a mean kebab and the Coral Reef is something else the colours of the fish are unbelievable.
This hotel is getting better every year it now has 22 pools,4 bars,swim up bar,beach bar,5 restaurants,water park(being built)gym,tennis courts,shopping arcade,theres so much to do and the place is massive and one bar is open 24hrs so you can get anything you want 24hrs a day all inclusive ! If you eat and drink sensibly and do at least 4 bottles of water in your first 48hrs you will be fine,getting a stomach upset can happen at home I've seen me on a saturday night at home go out have 10 pints have a curry and spend sunday on and off the toilet , it happens its just your body not used to the sudden change not an hotel.
Places Recommended : Well its Reef Oasis for me and my family may 2009 here we come it really is a dream come true so if you are thinking of going don't be put off its only a minority that want the world and whinge and moan !!!!!

"our holiday to sharm el sheikh"
Weather : Fantastic !
Very hot day and night have to put plenty sun cream on but you get a right tan brilliant weather if you dont like it hot don't go to Egypt !
Holiday : Brilliant!!!
Best holiday I've ever had : went with my girlfriend and our little boy {he loved it} we stayed at the Reef Oasis beach resort and it was just an amazing place,staff great very friendly and some quite funny : one of them called Wallid he was brilliant : gave him �1 every night and we didn't want for anything drinks ice cold and another one lined up before you drunk up.
Food was gorgeous the chefs would make you anything you wanted and the kebabs in the beach bar were out of this world .
Hotel very clean and tidy and the complex was absolutley massive .
Entertainment not cracking but ok but we made friends with a few English and made our own entertainment.
Going back in September 08 and if your thinking of going to Egypt then Reef Oasis Beach resort is an absolute must !
Places Recommended : Naama bay and snorkelling on the coral reef : the fish are like something out of a story book

"My holiday in NABQ sharm el shiek july 2008"
Weather : The weather was far too hot even in the shade!
Evening cooled down slightly but was still very humid.
It was so hot we didn't even join in the activities during the day.
Holiday : The hotel was nice, food ok.
We were all inclusive : food was repetitive but all right.
The swimming pools were nice and there was a water slide too.
The entertainment was not good ; the animation team were nice but maybe it was just too hot to bother.
There were two beach parties a week which was about as much entertainment as you would get in our hotel.
We went to Naama Bay early evening but that was awful.
You get pestered by locals to go and look to buy and its all the same tac!
I'm glad we were twenty minutes away by taxi from there.
Our hotel was the Jas Mirabel park.
I was bragging before we went that I never in all the places i have been had a bad stomach but i did come down with one there for a couple of days.
But I dont think it was poor hygene at the hotel.
I think it's dehydration combined with our stomach not used to the bacteria there.
Places Recommended : If you like diving and snorkelling its the place to go at a later time of year when its cooler.
You could go to Cairo but we have been before.
Basically we stayed around the hotel as we had done all the culture stuff on a previous holiday.

Holiday : not alot to do out of resort as we were in nabq very quiet place to go but if you go to the shops be prepared to get really hasseled in a friendley way but you need to stand strong and just say no thank you several times
Places Recommended : snorkelling and scuber diving is a must for everyone on the beach in nabq you can walk out to sea for about half a mile and its still only up to your knees

"Amazing"
Weather : Brilliant, I went in late September and the weather was amazing. Only problem was the sun goes down quite early in the evening.
Holiday : I went with my boyfriend and we would both go back again. Overall I had an great time but would stay longer next time.
We went in to Naama Bay every evening for our dinner. We ate at an excellent chinese most nights which was situtated on the roof on the Mall and we could see people passing below. Was a really good atmosphere and the food was really cheap, it was the price of a take out chinese meal at home. The Hard Rock Cafe was also a nice place to eat and drink. The cocktails were really nice but expensive. Alcohol in pubs and clubs are the same price as back home but the office license was quite cheap. 10glass of vodka only £6.
Next Time we go we are going to get a hotel that is situated closer to Naama bay as we had to get a taxi there every night. Also we are going to try to get a hotel were there are more Irish and english people staying so that we can feel meet a few more people.
Places Recommended : The beach - We went snorkeling and the fish were beautiful. This was my favourite part of the holiday.

"Amazing"
Weather : Great weather its was between 36 and 41 while we were there and although you get used to it its really hot for anythin that involved alot or energy and you have to wear shoes everywhere including the beach and next to the pool and your balcony.
But who cares..
Holiday : Brilliand we were at the First Choice Red Sea Holliday village and it was great as we have a 2 year old and there kids club starts at newborn.
Including an evening creche.
Although I'd recommend upgrading to there larger rooms called select as they are twice as big and located at the best part of the resort and only go for there jucuzzi suiets if you don't mind noise at night as they are right next to the evening entertainment.
Places Recommended : we didn't travel to Cairo as it was to fad for our son (6 hours on a bus or an expensive 50min flight) but we did go on a submarine boat and to cleopark there water park.
Also we went to Na'ama bay which is ok but not alot to do durin the day better at night for clubbing they have a pacha nightclub but we never went at night

"Holiday Sharm El Sheikh"
Weather : Extremly hot for the entire duration, 40 degrees in the day 30's at night, to hot at times.
The Red Sea was wonderful about 25-26 degrees.
Holiday : Stayed at Tropicana Grand Azure, a very good hotel with lots of facilities.
The food was excellent with lots of choice. The hotel was directly on the beach, ( sand quality was poor, water,clear and warm with superb snorkelling).
Much building work going on in area, be prepared to be hassled unmercifully by shop owners!
A good holiday if you want sun and sea, on the whole the area was a bit like a barren building site.
Places Recommended : Did not go on any visits due to illness! ( the local pharmacy was very helpful with providing the necessary drugs, 20 pounds English)
Went to Naama bay one evening, lots of shops and junk to see

"nightmare in egypt"
Weather : Very hot every day even in the eveing to hot some days I love the sun but some days it was unbarable you need to get up early to get umbrella to shade you we took factor 30 but could have done with 50.
Holiday : Very quiet : nice if you just want to relax but people bothered you all the time on the beach to go on trips the hotel was lovely but the food was terrible there was no entertainment at our hotel after 9pm went to Naama Bay twice and hated it they hassle you all the time you can't look in a shop window without them trying to drag you in Naama bay was very very busy can be very intimidating .

"My hol to Sharm El Sheikh"
Weather : The weather was fantastic but can be very hot for some but very ideal if you want a great tan. Some nights were humid which made it a little uncomfortable but overall I think for this time of year its nice and will defo set you into summer mode.
Holiday : My first time to Sharm and I went with 14 others, friends and family so it was a great experience for us all. There's loads to do during the day especially if you stay in a diving resort like I did and I would defo recommend the excursions but stay away from Jeep Safari, very boring and a total waste of time and money. The night life is good if you enjoy the hustle and bustle of all night "shisha bars" (Naama Bay), however if you are a clubber then don't bother as the clubs are'nt vey good and charge £35 entrance which is not worth it especially if you dont like house music which is all they played!!! I would not recommend it for the ravers however it is perfect for couples for a 1st honeymoon and familys. The people are very nice and friendly sometimes but can show attitude if you dont buy from them. Women need to be careful though as you get constant hassle fom the men especially if you are on your own even for a split second. My friends and I were always getting harrased and asked out by strangers which can be so annoying.
Also be careful with the food as most of us got upset stomachs and spent a lot of time runnig to the loo!!! Stay away from the fish, meat and the ice they put in the drinks no matter how hot you are !

"My holiday in Sharm El Sheikl"
Weather : The weather was fantastically hot, but not very comfortable. I can tolerate the suns rays, but this is the first holiday that I have had to spend most of my time under the parasol or in Hotel room (which was very comfortable with air conditioning.) Temperatures were averaging 30C,
Holiday : Very pleasant, but not one of our better holidays. Not very comfortable experience around the shops, as the locals do pester you to enter their shops and the goods on sale were not priced, which I do find very off-putting.
Recommend Sharm El Sheikh to others : Yes

"Best Holiday ever Sharm El Sheikh"
Weather : Fantastic weather, hot all the time. Went in November in the 80's.
In November need to be up early to get whole day can get dark at 3.30p.m.
Holiday : THis is a holiday for relaxation, the old town is excellent and very safe to walk around.
People are genuine and love Brits and to help.
Don't be put off by the bartering or closing doors behind you as you enter their shops, it's just their way. Enjoy!
Food excellent stayed at Iberotel Palace and it really was 5 star!
Been 3 times now including red sea cruise.
Places Recommended : Sinai Desert - dinner and stars - amazing you felt as though you could touch the moon.
Cairo. Museum & Pyramids
Recommend Sharm El Sheikh to others : Yes
