Calimera Royal Diamond Beach Hotel

Seven of us stayed at the Royal Diamond, for the last two weeks in July. 2 adults, 19yr old, 16yr old, 15 yr old, 13 yr old and 8 yr old. We have previously stayed at the Calimera Moderna which was great but too far away from everything. Good points of the Royal Diamond, The pools are good, the animation team who we knew a couple of from our last stay at the Calimera Moderna, were great, not too pushy. The home-made soups The Shisha Bar and indian restaurant on the roof were good, but I'm used to my currys rather... more

We stayed at this hotel 1-15 Sept 2008. Overall a nice hotel. Very clean. Food was fresh but repetative. Our room quite small but clean and central. Entertainment mostly in Italian. Front of house not always helpful. Snorkling out of this world. Access to the sea by hotel jetti only because of the coral. Despite some minor faults a good value for money relaxing holiday.

I stayed at the Calimera Hotel with my boyfriend and we had a great stay. The rooms were large with a very clean en suite with a walk in shower. We had a sea view with balcony. The pools and all facilities were always clean and the grounds are kept looking their best. The hotel is close to all of the attractions in Sharm el sheikh. All of the staff were very helpful and were always checking to make sure we were ok. Our room was cleaned daily and petals scattered on our bed on our last day. The food was always good with alot of different... more

Hotel is dominated by Italian guests. Anyone with a yellow band is Italian. Blue bands are Brits, Germans, French and a few odds and sods. This is the first all inclusive I have been on where you have to where your band! (But they are cloth not plastic so OK) Complex The hotel is basically on three levels. Beach level - Main Pool, Pool Bar and Beach Bar. Road Level - Reception, restaraunts, inside bar, outside roof bar and second pool (bar under construction). Intermediate Level - Small pool, soft drinks bar.<br... more

The Calimera Royal Diamond Beach Hotel is a lovely hotel. It is with 10 minutes walk of il mercado shopping Mall and there is a small supermarket about 2 minutes walk from the hotel which is alot cheaper than the hotel shops or the other touristy shops by the mercado. The room Our room ( no 277)was actually part of the ibertol which is the sister hotel next door. This was not a problem as they are so close it was no different than being in one of the Calimera rooms. The room itself was of an average size with a a huge double... more

Had a wonderful time and everything was perfect from start to end. The room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels and sheets. The food was delicious and try the beach bar bbq which you have to book in advance as it gets very busy down there. The staff are really friendly and helpful especially the guys who work the bar in reception, where you can get a lovely cup of coffee. The pool area was also really clean and we used the smaller pool near the steps to the restaurant as it was quieter. Look for Beckham down there as he is a lovely bloke... more

After hearing all the bad comments made about this hotel, we were a little aprehensive. First off there isnt any building work going on apart from a little at the entrance to the hotel which is far away from the hotel itself. On arrival we were greeted and taken straight to our rooms which were right by the main pool, it was fantastic! our rooms also had a joining door so we didnt have to keep going outside to get into the other room ( we had two rooms) on our first day we sat down by the main pool enjoying the heat, but then the animation... more
