Sharm el sheikh
Review by: Bartlett
Weather
I went January 2015, perfect weather 25 degrees no rain, you can sunbathe from 8 am to around 4.30pm. Warm in the evenings, sometimes a thin cardigan may be needed if it's a breezy evening, but we sat outside every evening for food until late. We love the sun and the weather was perfect, we had a lovely tan.
Holiday
Sharm has everything. Good food, lovely hotels, sea, beaches, shopping, weather, people are often worried about coming here but we find it safe, friendly, excellent value for money. It's has Hard Rock Cafe, McDonald's, star bucks, and a lot of the known food chain. The shopping is good.

I went to Sharm El-Sheikh in August and needless to say, I got a serious tan in just under 3 hours. Plenty of sun, sand and beach fun during day and a challenge to keep up with its nightlife.
All kinds of water sports and activities are available at very decent prices. I would definitely recommend you to go there.Holiday
Non-stop fun. Water parks, water sports and chillling by the beach during day and partying at Naama bay and Dolce Vita at night

always good weather
Review by: Christine Stewart
Weather
I have visited Sharm in every month except December and January. The weather is always excellent - can get extremely hot during July to September, but what do you expect bearing in mind the location. The temperature drops at night from November to March, but you only need a cardigan or light jacket.
Holiday
I am shortly off for my 10th visit to Sharm. The people are always friendly, and I feel safe when I travel alone. a polite "no thank you" seems to work when in Naama Bay shopping. Ive stayed at Sonesta Club, Sea Club Aqua Park so far. The staff cant do enough for you. Ive never had a problem with finding something to eat at these hotels, and only had stomach problems ONCE.

Do not put your money in hotel reception safe
Review by: Sandra Birrell

weather was glorious.
Holiday
We stayed in the Turquoise Beach hotel. Not all rooms in this hotel have safe boxes. When we asked what we should do with our valuables.Manager says we have safe boxes behind reception.
Please do not put your money in these safe boxes they are a scam and all your money will be stolen. As ours was. The managers in this hotel have a could not care less attitude and would not except responsibility at all .
The food in this hotel is vile. No variety and never hot . The waiters and cleaners all work hard. This hotel is advertised as 4 star The reality is no more than 2 starRecommend Sharm El Sheikh to others?

Great place to go for some winter sun, summers too hot for us.
Review by: Sue and Kelly
Weather
Wonderful weather. Can't understand people complaining it's too hot. It's Africa! It's always hot, especially if you go in May, June, July or August.
We have been coming here for 14 years, usually in December or January or February, it's lovely then. We have seen how it's changed and developed.
We have stayed in many hotels but we're not too keen on the flashy ones. We've been to Tropicana Jasmine Club several times and the friendly staff and good food remain reliable. They really make us feel welcome as well. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.Holiday
We snorkel and my partner also scuba dives.
We've been to St Catherine's Monastery, star gazed in the desert, had meals with the desert people and much more over the years.
We're not too keen on the new part of Naama bay, it's much too noisy and flashy for us. We prefer to be in a quieter area, although in general we love it Sharm El Sheikh.
The airport is only 15/20 minutes from our hotel, too.Recommend Sharm El Sheikh to others?

Coral sea splash resort, sharm
Review by: Christina

Weather was fabulously hot every day. We had two days of it being overcast, but still warm. Need a cardi for the evening.
Holiday
Fantastic. Weather was great.
Hotel was fab. You could tell that it had been rushed to open, but other than that, great hotel.
The staff couldn't do anymore for you, they were so happy and helpful 24/7.
We stayed for Christmas and New Year.
The New Year Gala was a brilliant night. So much time and effort had gone into this. The staff worked 16 hr days and were still so cheerful.
The water park was great, not as big as was made out in the brochure but plenty for us.
Food was okay, with plenty of variety every night.
Entertainment was good for the kids.
Swim up rooms were freezing as we were in the shade all day. Rooms were much bigger through.Recommend Sharm El Sheikh to others?

my Holiday Hilton Waterfalls Resort -Sharm
Review by: Joanne Harrison
Weather
Weather was amazing, at least 30 degrees by 10am everyday, with a lovely warm light breeze most days which helped alot!
Holiday
We stayed at The Hilton Waterfalls Hotel in Sharm, all inclusive.
Hotel was lovely and clean with air conditioned restaurants etc.
Cleaners were there all day every day.
Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and entertainers, though entertainment crew could be a little annoying while you were trying to sunbathe round the pool.
The food was great, not much English on but when we mentioned missing chips they appeared at lunch that same day!
No stomach bugs from food either which was a blessing.
We were in a family group of 9 and i cant remember any of us complaining about choice of food that was out.
The room was amazing, clean and freshened up everyday, complete with a minibar and air conditioning.
We loved it.
The only thing i didn't like was the amount of ants round the pool loungers and the in house night entertainmment was Rhubarb!
So we ventured out most nights after tea.

Sharm El Sheikh
Review by: Jeffrey Riva
Weather
If you don't like it to hot, then do not go to Sharm during the summer months, otherwise you will just get baked (and I mean baked, because it is just roasting there).
The weather during the summer time is just great, but a bit nippy at Christmas time though.
Holiday
Been to Sharm five times now, but will not be going back there again.
The problem is they think their 5 star hotels are like the European one's, and they're not. What they think a 5 star hotel is like, is nothing like what we know it is.
In my opinion 5 star hotels in Sharm are more like 2 or 3 stars (When you get to most of the hotels they look great, but please don%u2019t get confused by their star ratings, as there is absolutely no comparison whatsoever with ours).
Now it%u2019s not like I%u2019m being picky here about their hotels, because I've been there five times and stayed at five different hotels, and In all fairness I%u2019ve given it a real go over there.
Please note: That unless your hotel is in Narma Bay, you will not be able to go out for a walk at night, you have to remember, you are on the edge of a dessert and there is nothing & nowhere to go.
On the subject of food, it is just very very poor and the service you receive is just awful, one of the main problems in Sharm is that when you go into places like Narma Bay and anywhere for a walk out, you just get hassled all the time by the Egyptian guys, and when you ignor them, they just give you lots of abuse.
I have been to lots of different places around the world, but the hassle you get there, is just too much, it%u2019s just spoils your holiday.
The last place we stayed at was the Inter Plaza Beach, bedroom was ok, no hot water between 6pm & 9pm everynight, food very bad, absolutely nothing to do in the hotel in the evening, and as for drinks, they only give you very small (very small) plastic cups of beer or whatever you drink.
What you have to remember is that Sharm as a holiday destination as we know it today, has only been going about 10 years or so, and is a completely new way of life for the men in Sharm and Egypt so they not really know how to behave around you. (But that%u2019s no excuse).

Our holiday in Sharm
Review by: Anonymous

We went during April/May and the weather was just perfect. Sunbathing was perfect along with factor 30 suncream, No cardigans or jackets were needed until we reached England!
Holiday
We stayed at the Rehana Beach and Spa resort which was a beautiful hotel and grounds, which the staff kept immaculate. I lost count of the number of pools, this was a 5 star hotel but unfortunatly the food was not too great. The whole place was full of Russians and we felt that catering was purely for them, our family found them to be very demanding and rude especially to the brilliant Egyptian staff.

My holiday at the Coral Sea Resort and Spa, Sharm El Sheikh
Review by: Keef And Kim
Weather
The weather was very hot, but we expected it to be hot, as you are on the edge of the desert. We chose Egypt for that very reason.
If you do not like the hot weather, then do not go to Egypt. it is Africa and is renown for the hot weather.
Holiday
From the moment we got to our hotel, the service was exceptional. All staff were running around making sure we were getting everything we wanted.
We stayed at the Coral Sea Resort and Spa, and have only praise for the hotel.
The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them.
There was some nightlife, but a holiday is what you make it - this is not Butlins.
If you like meeting people and enjoy making new friends, this place is ideal. If you are wanting raves, then we suggest you go to Ibiza.Recommend Sharm El Sheikh to others?

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).

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!

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.

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.

My Holz In Sharm
Review by: Marie Skelton
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!

A wonderful holiday resort for chilling out
Review by: Christine

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.

Egypt
Review by: Kim Williamson
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.

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!

sharm
Review by: Edward Young
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.

reef oasis simply the best 10/10
Review by: Joanne Cable
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.Recommend Sharm El Sheikh to others?

our holiday to sharm el sheikh
Review by: Neil Tucker
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 !

Amazing
Review by: Miss Murphy
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.

Amazing
Review by: Cheryl Brookes
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.

Holiday Sharm El Sheikh
Review by: Nick Everson
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.

Review by: Deana Walker

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
Review by: Tyra
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
Review by: Anonymous
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.

Best Holiday ever Sharm El Sheikh
Review by: Caroline Bickley
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.
