We went in late feb 2010, the weather was fantastic, although a little windy at times, ours was the first drop off from the airport, so id say its probably only 10 mins transfer time, we were a little confused when we booked in, as the staff just tell you to leave your... more

Well, where do I start!!! Ignore all of the bad reports you get on this hotel, as the only problems for me was the ice cream wasn't free and the all inclusive finished at 11pm. No big deal though. There was a wide range of food every day, with themed nights, such as italian... more

We loved the hotel and especially the gardens which were beautifully kept. As we had booked two single rooms, we were expecting something the size of a large cupboard but were pleasantly surprised to have a twin room each. These were of a good size although rather dark,... more

Overall I will rate this holiday a seven and I'm being fair. I stayed at the resort with my husband for a week and apart for the beach and hotel grounds there is nothing really interesting to say about the complex. The staff when they are not trying to flog you something... more

We booked this resort for our Honeymoon - what a mistake. It is in the brochure as a 4* All Inclusive - nonsense!! I wouldn't rate it much past a 3*. Although the rooms and complex is spotless, the rooms are tired and very basic - not what we expected at all. We upgraded... more

As the previous review we had mixed feeling about going to the resort after reading the reviews. All we can say is we have booked up to go back next year. The service from the hotel staff we could not fault nothing was too much trouble for them. The cleanliness was the best... more

Can't wait to go back!!
For some reason never fancied going to Egypt before and after looking at some reviews was still unsure.. but I really can't wait to back.. I didn't even want to come home, wished I'd booked two weeks. What can I say about the hotel? my room was lovely, plenty of room and lovely walk-in shower. The rooms either overlook lawned gardens or the swimming pool, you can pay extra to upgrade to a seaview room. The staff were lovely, couldn't do enough to help - but yes everyone expected a tip for anything. We tended to eat breakfast and lunch in the Sealife which was fine and most evenings we walked across to the sister hotel Seaclub where we prefered the evening meals, seemed there was more choice and more show cooking. The deserts are to die for.. I'm not a cake lover but even I caved in. Naama Bay was an experience not to be missed, is about 15 minutes away from the hotel, we used the hotel taxi which worked out about £10 for the return trip - the hotel does offer a shuttle bus but with limited times. Eating out in Naama Bay is SO CHEAP! and the Hard Rock Cafe is a must! watching the staff there is like entertainment itself - every 10 minutes or so their in the middle of the restaurant dancing about. The entertainment at the Sealife & Seaclub was mainly aimed at Russian and Italian guests and I wouldn't say it was anything to write home about - I joked that I could have put on a better show. But all in all I loved this hotel and Sharm El Sheikh in general, have already started looking to go back in March. If anyone has any questions pls feel free to get in touch I'd be happy to answer them.
very relaxin
had a realy relaxing time. hotel great, very clean and well maintained. room spotless, hughe shower and FREE safe & aircon. beach was shingle, rock and sparce sand, if you wanted to swim you had to go in off the jetty straight into deep water. enertainment of an evening was poor, but found things to do. staff very friendly & soon lernt your name. staff in lobby bar brill, brought your drinks to your table. as we were all inclusive this made a change. food was ok had worse, found some thing to eat, plenty of pasta, rice and potatoes. themed night every night. airport the only downside to this holiday
Brill
Just come back and it was brill the hotel its self was well kept and tidy the only thing that i would say was the nighttime entertaiment was the same each week but other than that i would recomnmended going
lovely but...............
After an awful experience at the airport on arrival (utter caos no one knew what they were doing and just a sea of confused passengers and oh such long queues!!!) we arrived after a very brief transfer to the Sea Life resort. On arrival we booked in with a minimal amount of fuss in a very lovely reception area. We were asked if we would like to upgrade to a sea view for an extra 6 euros per person per day ! We were taken to our rooms which was lovely not having to search ourselves. Our suitcases arrived promptly after. The room was adequate but poor lighting. We had a problem with our shower which was delt with promptly. The resort was kept imaculate the gardens beautiful. Tipping is the norm in Egypt but it does get on your nerves after a while so although you dont tip much it all adds up and digs a whole out of your spending money. Although the resort is very close to the airport the take offs are very minimal and did not cause a problem. We all visualise Egypt as sandy deserts but be warned its more rocky therefore the beach is shingle, paddling is brilliant as you can see lots of very colourful fish but you do need some protection for your feet. Snorkelling is not always easy off the pier because of the strong currents. We went on a boat trip to find "nemo" it was fantastic there were 18 people with 2 guides who were amazing even the poorest swimmers were able to snorkel with no fear and see some amazing sights. We didnt find nemo but did see a leapord shark and a moray eel!! The staff are very helpful and friendly but you are pestered by staff arround the pool to have massages and attend other restaurants etc which are all at extra costs. Be aware that ice creams, fruit juices and sparkling wine are all extra costs too. The food is "ok " but not really suitable for the english constitution. Hence every english holiday maker had very bad stomaches. All inclusive does normally become repetative but found most days hardly any thing appealed to me and I normally love foriegn food ( mind you stomach was not up to eating). If you like getting up early in the morning great! get down to the pool and get your sun beds asap!! or the Russians, whom I am sure sneak out in the middle of the night to reserve the sun beds, will get there first. It always amazed me as all sun beds in best spots were gone by 7.30am!!! and the towel hut didnt open until 8.00am??? The resort had mainly Russian holiday makers so be warned as they push in all the time and are very rude. The entertainmet was also geared for the Russian and Italian guests and was very poor, embarrasing at times. Therfore nothing else to do at night. The entertainment is held in an open air ampi theatre and is very loud! The pool tables cost the equvilent of £5 (english) for an hour!! the shops are an experience they will use every trick in the book to get you into their shops to offer you "Egyptian hospitality" offering you free gifts or to look at their art work, their male charm and oh so many!!! methods to get you through that door do not get taken in and be intimidated into purchasing products. The resturant staff were very accomodating and always eagar to help. Would we go back? No. The reasons were : Food Russains Lack of entertainment Airport
Great holiday
just returned from sea club resort sister hotel of sea life. sea life restaurant more relaxing than sea club. hotel and rooms lovely and clean, air conditioning a god send. only downside not enough lighting around the grounds in the evening and also the music can be a bit loud outside but finishes around 11pm apart from the disco which is away from the rooms. good choice of food and pastries to die for at breakfast, we were all inclusive and had no problems with the drinks.
Great Place
We stayed at Sea Life for one week with two children under 6 years. Our arrival was swift and our luggage delivered to our room (10 egypt pounds tip rqd!) Room ok, a little small with two extra beds for the kids but clean. We did not have a bath but a large walk in shower. Which was ok but i was expecting both. We thought the food was great, yes there was alot of rice and pasta but there was plenty of other choices too. The breads, cakes and puddings where very good. No upset stomachs either. With any all inclusive the food does get a bit repetitive in my experience anyway. The beer was not too gassy and very drinkable, also the red and white wine was great too! Didnt try local spirits. Being served was not a problem, if it was busy we tended to go to the bar ourselves anyway. The staff were very attentive and did seem to like the english more than the other ruder guests such as the italians and russians. You did not feel pressured to tip but we did if we recieved good service. The grounds were kept immaculate, the rooms clean, everywhere clean. The entertainment people were geared up for the Italians but this didnt affect our holiday at all. For the money we paid I was happy with what we got.
not the right place to go...
We stayed in Sea Life for 5 days in october 2006..Originally we had booked in another hotel of the same group and we were told that they upgraded us to this hotel....what a hoax... First of all hotel is located somewhere across to tiran island and there was a steady current and wind/wave at the beach while the other hotels closer to Naama Bay were enjoying calm seas..So snorkeling was not possible at the reef mostly..so location a big minus...secondly Food quality was acceptable but service at the restaurant is terrible...The chief waitress was a good example of negative tourism....pretending to help visitors he was satisfying hi own ego...Far from respect and hospitality... Front office was very slow and not repsective during check in... I assume the management is rather poor and responsible from all shortcomings...I suggest you to avoid to stay in this place... there are hundreds of alternatives out there....
Totally Wiked:d XX
this hotel was amazing! i loved every minute of it the staff are so funny but theres one strange one who works down at the beach bar his small and pretty big...he fancied my daughter (shes 14!) the staff in the pool bar were so funny always taking the mick out of mine and my friends accent..if you do go say to them 2 girls ask 4 water (prounounced without the t!) see if he says any thing lmao:P the ones that probarley would are 1 with a moustache and one with a pretty big nose! but they were great so friendly the hotel rooms were clean and the maids made sure everything was tidy and my daughters left there room a tip everyday and they cleaned it to a top standard!! the lobby bar staff were also amazing this holiday was really good they only problem we had is that there are not many english in the hotel so be warned! and some reception staff dont talk much english overall i loved every minute of this holiday (if you do say anything to the waiters let them no katie and kellie miss them lmao) xx
Really nice hotel
We stayed for a week at the Sea Life and found it to be brilliant! The staff are lovely and helpful, although the animation team were mostly german and didn't understand English! The room was immaculate with a big bathroom and a massive shower which was really powerful! The food was nice, but a bit predictable after a few days, mainly rice, pasta and meat every day! Be careful the only free restaurant is the main buffet, and the pool bar. The others you all have to pay for, and even in the buffet restaurant sometimes the waiters will offer you a glass of wine or freshly squeezed orange juice, but they are not free and will be put on your bill! The pool was lovely, but the beach was disappointing. The sand was shingle and hurt your feet, and you couldn't walk to the water as you were not allowed to step on the coral so you had to jump off the jetty into very deep water, but a lot of the time you wernt allowed to go in as the sea was too rough! Other than that we had a briliant time and would recommend the hotel to anyone!
Worth Visiting
We arrived after a good flight from Newcastle . In entering the Airport we was ushered to a que asking if we was leaving Sharm at all .. We was only staying a week and had no plans to leave the resort .. SO WE DID NOT HAVE TO BUY THE VISA THAT IS SAID THAT YOU MUST HAVE .. The first impression of the hotel was that the hotel seemed very nice we was taken our room .It was very nice the room, very spacious, and very clean.. The meals where alright you would not starve but i think after 2 weeks you would be struggling for a change .. of food . Even though stating that you are all inclusive it is not the case as in the Beach Bar you are charged for meals.. NOT expensive but still cannot work why you should be charged.. The beach is cleaned all the time the people are so helpful that you can be ASSURED OF .. Aslo i think the need to sign for everything that you order .. some drinks all inclusive and some not be aware of this .. OVERALL ........ THIS HOTEL IS COMFORTABLE THE GROUNDS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THE WAITERS AND STAFF ARE ALL VERY HELPFUL AND WILL HELP YOU WHENEVER YOU NEED IT .. NOTHING IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE ..
