" This is a really good hotel, it's a... "
Submitted By: Mr M Younger
This is a really good hotel, it's a shame that it appears that certain things were rushed to enable the hotel opening for July, but that being said everything works.
<br><br>
The hotel staff are really good, everyone including the gardeners bid you a good morning or good afternoon and are always on hand to help, the quality of service is first class.
<br><br>
The 2 negative sides to our holiday is the extreme nature of the 'bad stomach' (seems to affect most adults for 3-5 days) which is hard to deal with in the extreme heat, the lack of poolside toilets, a 250m walk back to our room was the closest toilet.
I can't speak highly enough of the hotel staff and management but I believe they are being let down by poor representation and poor entertainment staff from First Choice. <br>

" When my partner and I first arrived... "
Submitted By: Miss T Shelbourne
When my partner and I first arrived here we were a bit put off by the front of the hotel as it was unfinished with building work which didn’t make it look attractive.
Our room was nice, air conditioning fine, we even woke up through the night feeling cold, which was a good thing being in such a hot country like Egypt.
The Food was ok, and the staff couldn’t do enough for you, really friendly and helpful!
As for the entertainment there wasn’t much to do of a night in the hotel or out. I think we may come back in a few years when Sharm el sheikh is more developed.
Also, We went snorkelling in the red sea and it was amazing!

Submitted By: Mr M Short
We arrived at the hotel to see it wasn’t finished, there was building work at the front of it.
Once off the coach the staff ask you to enter the hotel for drinks whilst your luggage is taken to your room.
The rooms are air conditioned (which worked fine), with large superking sized beds.
Mini bar was full and gets filled every day, but it’s NOT free, and NOT cheap either! Which they don’t let you know at all.
The staff were 10/10, they are very friendly and helpful!
There is a change of cuisine every night. The food was ok.
As for entertainment there wasn’t much. Though Naama bay was good, there are quite a few nice bars, restaurants and shops there.
During the day we went on a Garden Reef snorkelling trip, which was amazing. We enjoyed it that much that we bought kits which are reasonably priced and went snorkelling in the red sea every day!
We plan to visit Sharm el Sheikh again in a few years when it is more developed, it will become a top resort. As for the hotel we enjoyed out stay but we will try somewhere else next time!!

" Will make a lovely hotel in time ,we... "
Submitted By: csw13579
Will make a lovely hotel in time ,we had bad luck with air conditioning, which caused us some stress as we were packing and unpacking for the first few days because of this. There is a selection of food but could be improved especially for children.
Felt sorry for the first choice reps for the size of the complex they need more of them especially in the entertainment area.
Overall we felt it has been a rush job to get the complex finished and it isn’t professional to completely book your hotel up because when there are problems with rooms and you can t offer an alternative it becomes very frustrating all around.
The staff are lovely and the reps were great, can t do enough for you. Snorkelling is absolutely fantastic, a hotel based holiday not alot outside complex.

The inside of the hotel, Reception, Looked stunning! It's very big and has a river running through it. The beach to the hotel is very nice and snorkelling is great!!!! I am only 14 and it was the best holiday I’ve ever been on. I am a bit annoyed by the comments on this site running the hotel down, as for the person who said there wasn’t any toilets near the pool... there are toilets next to the bigger pool behind the tea bar! there just aren’t any signs or notices so even i didn’t realise myself. there are also toilets inside the downstairs reception by the dining hall, and some in the upstairs reception! so there are plenty of toilets nearby. MUCH less than 250m like you said.
<br><br>
The air conditioning in the rooms and inside the hotel is lovely, i never once felt too hot! even though it was 50 degrees!! The entertainment isn’t the best but for younger children, there is a amphitheatre lit up open in the evenings which have fun shows with the first choice entertainers. for me, a teenager, it was also fun! i spent my evening time in an Irish bar upstairs which serve alcohol and have darts and pool. In the day, I relaxed by the two big pools and went snorkelling alot! The pool bars are great, they have nice drinks and ice creams, and have cool little seats inside the pool so you don’t even have to get out to get a drink!!
<br>
The hotel staff are soooo friendly! they become your best friends straight away. they do anything for you! I knew every single one there and they made me feel very welcome :) my favourite were the pool men, they were dressed in green costumes and made me laugh loads! they kept pushing me in! haha! ... the food is lovely, there are so many choices! each day of the week they will do different specials and other things such as chips and the drinks are the same! I recommend this hotel to anyone, it is truly amazing! xx ps. the person who said they don’t tell you about the mini bars being free and expensive, it clearly states they are not free! you get a list of the prices from the reception as soon as you get there.
