We stayed here with my four year old son in October 2024. We had a wonderful family holiday and loved coming back to Sharm! I WOULD stay here again :-) Hotel & location The hotel is spotlessly clean and the cleaning / gardeners / maintenance staff work very hard to maintain these. The location of the hotel is pretty good, walking distance to shops, McDonalds, KFC, Hard Rock and Arabucks. The beach is accessed via crossing the road and using the Holiday Village hotels beach - the beach is stunning. Jetty isn't the best for reef but you can see little fish. You can have soft drinks at the beach, but nothing else so be mindful as it's a 10/15 minute walk which is a lot when you're carrying bags or have small children. Wifi is really good across the entire hotel, no problems video calling / streaming etc - we paid £10/15 for unlimited for the week, definitely worth it. Pool The lifeguards are FANTASTIC, they work hard and are always vigilant - they are strict with pool rules which I feel is important. They always made effort to interact with my son and make him laugh and helped getting us on the rafts in the lazy river. One lifeguard even jumped in the pool as my mom was being dramatic and they thought she needed help (she didn't). The toddler pool is great, with shelter and water shooters and little slides. Perfect depth for toddlers and lifeguards always watching. The wave pool is lovely, gets nice and warm in the sun and waves come on every 30 mins I believe. The splash pad is brilliant as well. My son adored the pools. I went on the slides which were a LOT of fun and the lazy river - only thing I would say is that the life jackets they make you wear could do with being replaced as they smell a bit. Food I loved the food here, lots of choices cooked fresh by chefs and salads / fruit and beautiful puddings. I LOVED the Egyptian desserts - they are beautiful. Food pretty much available all day at various locations. Little kids area with nuggets, chips, pasta and fresh pizza always available. Popcorn available by the main pool also. Drinks We enjoyed the drinks, cocktails were nice and good choice. Entertainment Staff work hard to engage people, a lot of the guests were British when we stayed and staff tried hard to get everyone to join in. There were pool parties when we stayed which were fun and my boy enjoyed the mini disco at night. The entertainment is pretty bog standard but I've been to Sharm 7 times and it's the same in every hotel so do not let this deter you! Cons A few niggles and why I didn't give the hotel 5*: - room a little bit tatty and furniture scuffed (some rooms may be newer though) - some outdoor areas look a bit dated as well, e.g decking around pools - the gym was very poor, hardly any equipment and a few pieces broken, no air con on so was 32 degrees in there - this could be improved. - drinks served in paper cups which I didn't like as they make your drink taste like paper so take your own bottles.
