" Coral Sea jan 29 - feb 12 "
Submitted By: MarialynnBooked holiday on spur of moment and what a lovely time we had. Weather was great, hotel complex was lovely, and the beach was just stones throw from hotel grounds. Hotel complex was kept very neat and tidy and could almost have been an English garden, there were plenty of sunloungers and shady areas around the pool area which was very large with 2 pools and a children's pool. The beach was good with clear waters and some days at only ankle deep, and plenty of sunloungers and umbrellas all set up on the beach.
Staff were very friendly and helpful and approachable.
We had a lovely, relaxing time and look forward to going again.

" Coral Sea Oriental Resort 26/jan-2nd feb "
Submitted By: pete+bridgeThe staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome the food is great. they have an al a carte resturant an itailan. its nothing special you can use this once a week however you have to pay for the drinks in there.
the salads in the hotel are all washed in bottled water which was good.
The entertainment I thought was rather good, they have a good animation team which i thought they worked the socks off and put a smile on everyones faces.
If you go say a big hi them sandman was good and there is one of them who wants to be like will smith!! which was quite funny!!
They put on a show most nights and they did games though the day around the pool which was good.
As soon as you get to the complex the rep will arrange a meeting for trips and stuff a word of warning the trips aint cheap!!
First Choice Trip prices are mostly all over priced.
There is an operator on the beach near the jetty on the complex and they will offer you most of the same trips for cheaper and they are insured!!
First choice will give you the bull about them not being but they are they just want your cash, and you will save a few quid.
I found this too late into our hoilday as we had already booked trips diving,stars and dinner, quad bikes.
I normally would never go back to hotel again but in this case i would.
This was the best hoilday we had ever had.
We loved the diving and the quads was fun too.
All i can say is a big thanks to the people out there in sharm
And another thing if your after a wii board and cant get one anywhere buy one at the airport on the way going out 60 quid bargin!!
Advice: its def worth going you can walk out in the sea for miles great for kids
Activities: loved the diving if never done it before you got to try

" Loved this holiday! "
Submitted By: steffi22The food was spot on, lots of variety on the buffet and they had different themed nights, Chinese night, fish night etc. The a la carte Italian restaurant where you can vitit once per week is spot on, you just pay for your drinks there! We also went to the Indian one evening which is in the Mermaid Beach bar, this again was lovely.
The pool was lovely, very big and the swim up bars are brilliant! We didn't have a problem finding a suned any day as there were only 2 of us but I did notice large parties reserving sunbeds for about 4 hours which i don't think is fair. If you can't find a sun bed one day the hotel is litterally on the beach so you could go on those sun beds. You don't need to take beach towels as these are provided, even if you go somewhere else for the day. We went to the waterpark which was reall good as well.
If you've booked and you have read some bad reviews, please ignore them, they are probably just the kind of people who like to complain about everything! One morning at breakfast there was no bread at the side of the toaster and a woman started shouting at the waiter, me and my boyfriend went and sliced our own from the fresh bread counter and toasted that and when the waiter returned with the toasting bread this woman saw ours and shouted at him that we had better bread! silly woman!
Have a great time!

Submitted By: : )It was The Best Holiday the family had ever been on and we would definatly go again and recomend it !!!
On arrival ,, even though there was queit alot of people it dint take long to check in,, the resurant was also open late for us to eat and drink when we arrived after our flight.
We Went for two weeks ,, but the first few days were boring (but this is mostly to do with the fact that i hadnt met any friends yet !!) The Wether Was Gorgeous :),, Very Very HOT (Which of course was better then good).
The Pools were amazing(my perants of course where at the pool bar alot of the time) It was clean and very big,, and the smaller pool wasnt bad either,, but the only promblem with being around the smaller pool is that you couldn't here the music !!!
The Rooms where massive and very spaceious,, the rooms and bathroom were also very clean. The food was gorgeous all of it everyday. The entertainment was the good but some of the entertainers made it better especailly Nathan he was very funny and a good laugh. The water sports where great too, and diving was great too we went on a few diving trips with Aquarias which did really good worth whild trips. Altogther this was an awesome holiday and we would definatly recomend it to anyone and we would definaly go back again. :) x
Advice: We loved the resort so much, and would definaty go back again and reccomend it
Activities: Diving was the most enjoy able part

The staff were really freindly and i got on with them very well and the hotel in general was really good!!
If you are going to Egypt definatly stay at coral sea and make sure you explore everything near by and make sure you go snorkelling for the day!!
ITs all very well organised and they make you feel very welcome and seem to enjoy your comapany as much as you will enjoy theirs!
I am missing it so much and am already planning to return again!!!

" Ace Holiday **** "
Submitted By: KPnutsArrived on 18/12/2008 and back to dull B'ham 25/12/2008.
Me, my hubby, my mom (65) and 2 teenagers!
We all had a great time and can not say enough about this complex!! All postive, food, people, service, cleaniness etc.
The only 1 negative thing i can say is that the entertainment area ie Irish Bar is full of smoke. Fine if you're smoker but if not, its just too much!!
The entertainment itself is typical of these kind of places ie AI. The same in tenerife last year. Basic and sometimes funny, but you have to give them 10/10 for trying.
Will definately going back next year but this time for 2 weeks!!
YOU'LL LOVE IT!!

" Your JOKING RIGHT? "
Submitted By: EmFarmiloeYou really could not fault the resort and for all those people slagging it off, a holiday is what you make it be! You could go to the most lucious place on earth but if you stayed in bed and did not participate then thats your fault!
Food: Like having sainsbury's cooked! So much, of all different varieties. You fancied it and I guarantee they probably would have had it. Steak, seafood, salads. And what is all this bollocks about not getting enough water? Get off your fat asses and walk to the bar! Dirty looks, I don't think so! They had mine and my three sisters drinks waiting behind the bar before we even got in the room! Sickness!?! Out of 10 of us, none got sick at all! And no-one that was there did either! And if you don't like it, you've always got McD's (try the Big Mac Chicken), KFC, TGI's !!!
Drinks: Limited variety yes, but all the basics, make cocktails experiment! They were never warm, andd there is a water machine by the pool bar, so you can avoid these so called dirty looks!
Entertainment: Had two sets, the hotel is catering to you and for a fact when they thought First Choice weren't quite cutting it, they pulled in another team. Loads of laughs with both teams, getting involved, water aerobics, pool, ping pong, competitions, singing, dancing, the spinning man, a nail and glass artist! Entertainment finishes about 11, then its on for the disco. What a wicked DJ, let us bring down our ipods plug them in to make sure a ray of different tastes were catered to. Drinks bought to the table, bar men dancing with you. Even on our holiday, people weren't staying until the end of the disco, but who cares on more than one occassion, me, my sisters and only another family were in there and we just danced the night away! The family actually came up to us on the last day and told us that we made their holiday great, because we were laughing and showing how much it meant to be together and happy and having a great time, making the most of an amazing holiday.
Service: How could you have something bad to say about the staff!?! The most genuwine and hospitable people that we had ever met. My tears were for the staff. When meeting friends out there who had previous been there before, the staff cried to see them leave. I can't wait to go back and see them soon! They all joined in our silly games in the pool, getting involved and turning to friends. If you do go and you should Ahmed Atef at the first bar is your man! He's amazing! Tell him I say hi! These guys are there to make the best experience for you! On one night we asked for an extra duvet because we liked it cold but one of the sisters liked it hot in the room. The duvet got there before we did and we walked straight back!
Rooms: A bed so big that me and my two sisters of which we are all grown women all shared! Veranda or what! If you wanted to stay in,and I would not know why the balcony is big enough to have a party for the Queen let alone doing abit of sunbathing! Rooms were cleaned daily to an impressive standard and the artwork left on the bed from fresh towels is amazing! Crocodiles, Swans, Hearts. AC was a dream when it got hot and it worked very well, with adjustable settings to get it just right for yourself. Bathroom extremly clean and fresh towels provided whenever you needed them.
Seriously it was AMAZING and I'm not just saying that as a one off experience. if you look on the trees when you get there, there are placks with families names, hundreds....these families have been there 6 times or more!
You won't regret it!
