Magic Life Sharm el Sheikh Imperial

The hotel was faultless; rooms were cleaned everyday to a spotless standard.
We were the only ones the on small bus they put for us, no drop offs straight there was great.
When we turned up drinks were waiting for us and once we booked in we were able to go for food which was great long day arriving there at 10.30pm
The all inclusive option was brilliant it was exactly what it said 24hrs. With regards to drinks the choice was endless they were non branded spirits mind.
The staff were kind and helpful especially the bar staff the was one or two that were
a bit off.
eg walked all way down to beach it was 9.20am needed to take 2 tablets,
asked at the pool bar for a bottle of water please when he had just handed a bottle to a fellow worker and was stocking up the fridge anyway, he said no sorry not open till 10am that’s all he had to do was hand me a bottle its not as if I asked for fanta or coke where may be the machines were not on.
I was not happy at all the fact I would have to walk all the way back up to the main bar to get one. So I walked up to the nearest restaurants which was closed by the way and asked there no problem very helpful he dashed back in came out with a chilled bottle no problem sir what was the hardship in that? Couldn’t fault him....
The tips lark did get a bit much by the end of the holiday you have to tip everyone from them carrying your cases at the hotel, to at the airport tip them to get loo role and there they can have a quite nasty attitude if you don’t, my advice take loo role with you.
Food at the hotel was good with a large selection but I was not that impressed 'a la carte' restaurants we managed to get in the Italian only to find it was the same menu as in the day only 3 things to choice from, we thought u could have anything.
Everywhere was spotless mind standards were very high
Please note I think all reviews are mainly by German guests, with some French, Belgium’s, and Russian guests. But we were the only British (welsh) there in the whole hotel during this time in July.
So night time entertainment was for them really only 1 night we went couldn’t understand, also found entertainment though out the day the same all announcements were in every language but English....
Yes had to get up early 7am run take a towel down to get sun bed by the pool before they were all gone.
It was a lot of money (£2400.00 British pounds) and we were given a double room which to me was a room with a double bed not a double room.
This came complete with a fold up camp bed pushed at the bottom of our bed for our 15 year old son where I paid full price for him so really 3 adults?
I was not happy about this as he is tall 5ft 12 and his feet were hanging over this camp bed plus it was in the way every time.
This is their standard double room I was told.
So don’t think we go back. Other than that it was great weather 39-44 oc
If you like quads do it me and my son had great day up mountains down to red sea for dinner back along the beach outstanding.
Even bought the DVD.

The hotel was faultless, rooms were cleaned everyday to a spotless standard.
When we turned up drinks were waiting for us very nice touch after a long day travelling, wide selection of food, chefs were very health conscious compared to other resorts in Egypt.
The all inclusive option was brilliant it was exactly what it said 24hrs. with regards to drinks the choice was endless they were non branded spirits they were just as good.
The staff were kind and helpful especially the bar staff ( puts England to shame to how lazy we are).
I would definitely go back again and have recommended it to friends and anyone else, that wants a relaxing and peaceful time away.
The only down side the sun goes down early in December around about 3pm.

Excellent accommodation. Extremely clean and well kept. Service at bars and also restaurant couldn't be faulted. Very quick.
Being all inclusive, amazing to find the cocktails so incredibly good.
Tennis facilities very good, five courts, two instructors, both excellent. Twice a day, two hour coaching plus for their 'tip box' - could book individual coaching.
Can be quite windy, if booked in December cold at night. Nowhere to walk to in the evening but buses 3 times a day to resort centre, 30 mins away.
Evening entertainment outside, unfortunately too cold when we were there!

Having had an excellent cruise on the Thomson Celebration the previous week, we thought the "Magic life" would be second best.
The room, which although large and clean, was let down by a lack of drawer space and poor quality wardrobes and shelving. We felt it deserved no more than 2 or 3 stars. The rest of the resort was superb.
The quality and variety of the food was outstanding, in fact the salad bar alone would provide all of the week's meals without repetition. Be either early or later for meals if wanting to dine outside. Water and all manner of other drinks could be had at any time.
Public areas were all attractive, comfortable and clean. There was no shortage of sun beds around the pool, which itself was an outstanding design. On the beach were more sun beds with individual wind breaks and brollies.
The other guests were in the main German, and probably due to the time of year, and lack of children, there were no instances of rowdy or bad behaviour. Sharm airport is worth enduring, just.

I would like there to be a higher rating than 10. This was the most fantastic resort I have ever stayed in. So clean and so friendly all the staff did the utmost to please. I was on holiday with my 2 boys who are desperate to go back. The food was of such a high standard as were the rooms. The pool was clean and although we didn’t venture onto the beach a lot it was superb also. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone whether as a couple or a family holiday..

I have just returned home from a brilliant holiday with my family at the Magic Life Imperial in Sharm El Sheikh. The hotel is situated on Naama bay and in all aspects is more a holiday village than simple Hotel.
The rooms are large and air conditioned (This is ideal as temperatures sometimes soar to the 40's). The rooms are very clean and comfortable. They are maintained by the exceptional Egyptian staff who pride themselves in making you feel welcome.
The Club really is all inclusive, drinks are served near enough 24hrs a day and are available from front entrance to the beach side bar. Bottles of Water are also available as well as a variety of snacks during the day. They have everything you could imagine, including a very generous cocktail menu (Go for the Sunbourn!).
Food from the 'Magico' Restaurant is buffet style but it really is exquisite and the choices are immense. On our 3rd day they where cutting up a 6ft long fish!
Things do to are swimming with dolphins, scuba diving amongst others. They can be organised with your Thomson’s reps. Scuba Diving costs from £30 for the day and is a must as the coral reefs of the Red Sea are packed full of exotic fish and turtles. Also the ATV tour is a good way to explore the Sinai desert.
All in all, a fantastic Holiday!

Just had 2 weeks at Magic Life, 1st to 15th May 2006, grounds wonderful, gardeners work really hard to keep it looking nice.
Room on second floor really clean, lots of room and nice balcony with view of Mountains and Relax Pool, gave us ground floor first, not good so they gave us the room we stayed in. Staff very good, food first week was good, hot and fresh, second week not much choice. Egyptian and South American A la Carte Restaurants were the best, great food and service. The holiday was spoilt by far too many unruly children running about restaurants, not safe as waiters were carrying food and dishes.
Relax pool some days was anything but, screaming toddlers and parents not bothering to look after them, would rather lay in the sun, the pool was deep and we saw some really small children without arm bands playing on the edge. There is a lovely children’s pool safe for them to play in.
The Relax Pool should be for adults only with someone there to supervise and make sure that it is as described in brochure a Relax Pool. Relax Pool Bar could do with to serve more drinks than just juice and beer, coffee would be nice. The Wunderbar was not so far away but then you were drinking from glasses, not good by a pool. The barman used to go away for long periods, then it was self service. Must admit the unruly children were mainly Russian.
The beach was ok, red flag was flying most days but lots of sun beds if needed. We did enjoy our holiday, more so as we met some nice people, a German family by the pool and Steve and Cathryn, Steve and Cat made the holiday. Not sure if we would return but the waiter etc were great.

My partner and I have just returned from The Fantastic Club Magic Life in Sharm El Sheikh and can't wait to return! The hotel is first class, the staff professional yet friendly and can't do enough for you. The location is superb on a beautiful sandy beach with excellent snorkeling on the coral reef (be careful of the current on occasions). The facilities are superb and life can be as busy or as quiet as you want!
The food is of a very good standard, with an excellent choice for all tastes. Tip: pre book a la carte restaurants ASAP on arrival due to great demand (you can always cancel if you make other plans later).
Rooms are spacious and decorated to a very high standard and are cleaned every day. No need for beach/pool towels...these are also provided as often as needed!
The evening entertainment is a bit naff, especially watching the Germans ballroom dance to Abba and Kylie, (entertainment in itself), however the disco had a great atmosphere with the few Brits that were there making it their nightly watering hole. ( Great fun had by all!) If wanted, you could easily catch a taxi into nearby Naama Bay for more exciting nightlife.
The hotel itself caters for all, ramps for wheelchair users and children’s clubs to keep the little ones occupied.
Book It!!! You will not be disappointed!

We have just returned from Magic Life Imperial and could not fault anything at all. The accommodation was first class, and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The man who cleaned our room was a gem, making some elaborate designs out of towels for us, such as a crocodile, swan and flower. The food was superb and you were spoilt for choice, with plenty of restaurants to choose from.
There were plenty of sun beds at the pool and on the beach, which was good, no one appeared to go and put there towels on them.
The hotel attracts a lot of German and Russian tourists, but everyone was very friendly.
The only negative aspect was the airport at Sharm El sheikh, which really is too small for the amount of tourists that are going through it. It was very disorganised and there was no room at all to sit and have something to eat.
But I would definitely return to Magic Life Imperial as it was one of the most relaxing holidays I have had, and the weather was Fab.
