Jaz Mirabel Beach

1 reader found this review helpful

Do not go to this hotel; ill put it blunt:
1. Poo in the pool everyday
2. Food old and mouldy
3. Everybody on the resort had a stomach bug (from the food)
4.adult arabs pooing in the shower by the pool
5. No entertainment in the evening & you fight over chairs with the arabs
this is far from a 4/5* hotel. Dont waste ur money!!

Here is my opinion.
i m belgian and i went in couple to mirabel beach with Jetair company.
It was a discovery point in the folder.
we discovered nothing more than an other hotel in Egypt... The program of week was very poor and not include
It's different of Xperience concept Egypt of Neckermann (really better)!
No animation Jaz or Jetair.
Very relaxing week, too much.....
Nobody ask us to do sport, games, activities.... but the staff outside (diving, boat...) are always in the hotel to ask to pay excursions 4-5x/day, it's nearly harassment because they doesn't understant the word "NO".
it's not a problem for us that we are sleeping...
The food was medium... and very clean, (a positive point).
the cocktails were mediums too.. Very cheap juices colored with sugar added. just 1 once/week we have right to have really professionnals cocktails...
--> undustrial hotel who wait the cargo of his livestock...
About the beach, .... horrible...
Be sure that it's not possible to swim inside... have good shoes if you want to go.
It s just a landscape with few fish, dead corals, jellyfish.. pontoon is under construction, i don't know if it will be possible to use it in the future want the sea seems dangerous on the horizon.
About the staff... they are waiting for backshish... for each finger raised.
they are very hypocritical...
I LOVE YOUR COUNTRY..I MISS YOU.... I TELL SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOU... I M WAITING FOR BACK SHISH.. (suggest imply)
It's always the same speech. And i don't explain the behaviour of sellers in shops of mirabel.
10 shouting to us in the same time to buy.
I can't support this....
For a good duty, it's good to reward...
If you don't give money, the waiters forget your order.. or it takes more time, sometimes, they forget our smiles. It's an all inclusive hotel and i m not agree to pay more to have drink... we paid enough expensive for this.
then, they are really nonchalent for the moment, sometimes, exeption to the rule.
Wonderfull images of Mirabel in folder but there, the atmosphere is very cold...
in oriental café, Music live at night is great with a lipton the (no tipical tea)
Mirabel park; uninhabited...
The good point: THE JACUZZI... waw
Perhaps, More music next to the swimmingpool should give more animation and good mood.
i don't advice this hotel for single's travellers or hyperactifs. Right for seniors or family with wild-child for relaxing holiday.

This was the second week for my family of 4 (Kids 12 & 15) as part of Cruise and stay package. I have written a seperate review for red sea magic cruise for those interested.
Summary of Jaz Mirabel stay - after exhausting 7 night cruise, we were all looking forward to week relaxing not doing much at all. pleasantly surprised on arrival by decor and quality of reception and welcome meeting. Bell boy took luggage instantly, given cocktails and taken to lunch. returned to reception for thomson brief and to recieve room keys etc. Room was huge, sumptious bed, massive shower and decent terrace (ground floor room). Food generally very nice but a little repetetive. AI package good, drinks from 0900 - midnight including many branded cocktails / kids cocktails. Hotel layout superb. only 25% full so no queues for food / bars or trouble getting sunbeds. Beach empty. Waiters and Barmen all polite and efficient.
Good points - Hotel complex is massive, well laid out and themed, buildings well styled, rooms good, Gym / Jacuzzi / sauna & steam all top class. good Water park for kids open 4 hrs a day. A la carte restuarants very good - we got 2 complimentary vouchers from Thomson welcome meeting and used the Zen Chinese and the Italian restuarant, Zen being slightly better in our view. Nice parade of shops in complex with gifts, clothes, hairdressers and supermarkets available and no real hassle from traders.
Bad points - Do not venture outside as local traders are extremely aggesive and will pressurise and chase you if you do not respond or go into their shops. As most sell identical tacky rubbish, it put us off going out on foot completely and decided to remain within the complex apart from excursions. The Hotel animation team are pretty disorganised with published events not happening at stated times or at all in some cases. Evening entertainment very traditional and low key.
Probably the best hotel complex I have ever stayed for comfort / facilities and pure class but let down by its remote location (30 mins taxi to centre) and aggresive local traders which restrict your movements considerable.

I have just got back from a week’s stay at the Jaz Mirabel Beach hotel in Sharm, a present for my partners 21st birthday.
A few bad reviews had me concerned about the quality of the food; We are both far from fussy eaters and love all inclusive hotels, even though they do tend to be the same types of foods, I always go all inclusive. I understand everyone has different expectations but I always go with an open mind with all inclusive and always find them to be well worth the money; regardless if it is pasta, chips salads etc every night.

This was definitely by far one of the best I have stayed in. A good variety of food something for everyone and for those fussy eaters a pasta station where the chef cooks up a pasta dish in front of you with your choice of sauces. A lovely variety of salads and veg every night, different joints of carved meats, rice, potatoes the list goes on- I cannot see why anyone would say the food was appalling! If you are that fussy go self-catering!
There are two main all in-restaurants 1 with children allowed and one without, great idea! Also an oriental, Italian, Asian and Lebanese restaurant onsite. We tried the Lebanese which was nice but definitely preferred the buffet in the main restaurant.
Hotel is lovely- huge! With its own private beach, gym, sauna, steam room and whirlpool. Very clean staff very helpful and friendly.
Cairo by air, pyramids (hassling was quiet overwhelming outside one of the pyramids) BUT great day museum was amazing- made the holiday!
Bearing in mind that we stayed at this hotel in march-not in high season, we did have the resort basically to ourselves which was amazing , I dont know if the quality of the food decreases in the summer as there would be a much higher demand and i would accept it gets very busy. But I cannot fault this hotel at all, best time of year to go perfect weather and staff go out of their way to bring you drinks on the sea front!
Maybe my standards are not as high as others but anyone who rates this hotel 1/10 should just give up finding a hotel to meet their standards. 10/10 in my eyes did not get ill once used anti bacterial gel every now and again and both completely fine the whole week!
Maybe luck was on my side but I would go back to this hotel and I recommend it to anyone!

We have just come back from a week stay in Mirabel Beach and I have to say the food is pretty appauling. The same thing day in day out, of poor quality and not much flavour. The service is pretty rubbish too, you are hasseled for tips constantly and no staff is helpful.
I would not return or advise this hotel.

Very Pafos,but totally Boring place to be.No Atmosphere.... Too big. Good arcitecture.But nothing to do.Beach is not specially good. Far Away from the Nama Bay.

I've been to Sharm three times and this was the fourth with friends and with my husband. I always stayed at 5 star hotels. I also stayed in hotels in Cairo, Hurghada, Luxour, Alexanderia (of course this is not counting USA and Europe). I am very fussy, even if I am staying at the hotel for 1 night, if it is not top, it spoils my holiday. That's why for this Jaz Mirable Hotel I say WOW, WOW, WOW.
So impressive, as soon as you enter the hotel there is a nice comfortable feeling that hits you and it makes you feel so cheerful. The simple clean style, the easy access to all hotel areas, the front desk and the staff. The staff at reception in Jaz Mirable Beach are so professional, friendly, helpful, and no matter how tired you are you cannot help smiling when you're met with their smiles and welcome. You feel that they have been waiting for your arrival. Nothing is too much trouble for them, you just ask the question and they will be more than happy to help with pleasure, almost as if they are there just for your comfort and pleasure. I know that this is how it should be in all hotels but this hotel has well exceeded the best expectations.
The walk to the room was so pleasant with gorgeous surroundings, it was so easy to find the room and when we walked in, we just knew that we should have booked for longer time. It was absolutely wonderful and cosy and clean clean clean with the biggest shower ever. The telephone directory is easy to use and when you call the person answering always will greet you with your surname.
The food in an all inclusive is gorgeous, tasty, varied. The staff are simply wonderful, professional, helpful, and just perfect in everyway. They will also go out of their way to help you with your queries even if it has nothing to do with the restaurant. Unlike in all other hotels in Egypt you do not feel that you have to tip and no one expects or accepts tip (I've had enough experience in this area in other hotels).
Even when we had a complaint about the worst snorkelling experience ever with the diving centre (Diving for fun!) which had nothing to do with the hotel as we booked it privately, still the hotel staff were more than happy to assist us with logging the complaints and pointing us on the right direction and giving us advice. Even the manager came to meet with us personally to advise us. It was so fabulous to see that everyone was there to make your stay the best.
The hotel beach is the best in Sharm for sure, it's gorgeous in everyway.
I am definitely going there again this year and every year from now on.
Thank you to all of you at Jaz Mirable Beach for making this the best experience I cannot say enough I could go on forever about this hotel

Service fair - food appalling - I was ill for 8 days as a result of the food. Boring, repetitive and no variety whatsoever. Hotel beautiful, setting superb but food and hygiene is a major problem in the jaz mirabel beach resort. it was our 2nd holiday at the same resort

We went to the Jaz on the 4 th of May for 10 days my 2 sons their wives and little boy 3 and baby 4 months my husband was in a wheelchair .
The place is beautiful everything you could want from a hotel, Rooms spacious and clean . Gardens and hotel well maintained BUT the food leaves very much to be desired Not Engish friendly Menus mostly Egyptian Food.absolutely no Menu for 3 year olds and No facilities for Bottle making or heating bottled baby food.Thank goodness I took the faithful old Travel kettle to make up the bottles evrything in the shops is dreadfully expensive £5 for a packet of Orio Biscuits £3 a can of pepsi so beware .Dreadful Beggars at the airports drive you mad if you dont tip they dont help end of story .
Pretty much the same in the hotels the more you tip the more they do .
We enjoyed the place for the pools and beach But wouldnt return to this hotel Tea making facilities would be a bonus in the rooms .To top it all I went down with stomach bug so did my son his wife and the 3 year old . medication very expensive so take plenty of Imodium and if you have a baby Plenty of Baby Milk a small tin cost £26 at the Phrmacy in the hotel complex.Newspapers £4 each 20p sun in UK Be warned about the currency converstion and check it .Dont use Credit cards in shops !!!!!.
Will not be visiting Egypt again .The Thomson Reps were fantastic at organising my husbands transport and transferes as were the air Crew Very Highly recommended I will travel with Thomson again
