So glad that we ignored the reviews on this site. The rooms were clean - but not 5*., the staff wonderful. Only went on one trip the whole fortnight we were there for the meal/show in the desert. The reef /fish are fantastic, although they need to employ a Marine Biologist as it will never survive with the boat and people pollution continuosly
Food was fantastic, didn't eat anything uncooked to avoid a bad tummy.Italian Ice Cream at the Nauticulus Bar, five restaurants, three bars in the All Inclusive tariff- just wish they had white rum. italian Rose brill and hubby loved the beer. Made some lovely new friends , including a lovely Russian couple and had a brilliant time with them - we think a trip to the Urals might be on the agenda later in the year. Would definetely go again.

I have just spent 2 weeks with my fiance, in the Domina Harem at Coral Bay complex.

We had a lovely time, the staff were very pleasant and our room was always kept clean to high standards. And our bar man in the main lobby bar was spot on.

The only 2 grumbles we had was the bar closed too early in the lobby bar (11pm) which is really 10pm egyptian time because they put the clock forward 1 more hour, in order to get more sunlight, is what we were told. The pool bar closed at midnight, but with the nights sometimes being cooler you dont always want to be sitting outside.

The pool bar also shut in the afternoon, whilst dinner in the evening was being served.

The other was the lack of entertainment in the evening, although with the heat an early night was sometimes appreciated.

We travelled into Naama Bay on a few occasions, it cost 52 egyptian pounds one way if you booked from main reception( oasis). There were also taxis just outside the complex which you could you use, and negotiate a price with the driver, £5 is a reasonable offer, considering the distance.

The pool was of a nice size and the holiday was very relaxing and easy to get to the beach.

Excercise classses were on the beach and water aerobics offered in the pool, for those who wanted to be a bit more energetic, ( when you go all inclusive, its nice but you do eat a lot) as the food was lovely also.

You could only drink and eat in certain restaurants and bars on all inclusive, if you went else where and chose to pay, the drinks and food were expensive.

I reccommend going on an all inclusive basis. The Harem i would say is the best hotel on the complex, the others I would say are 4* , although are classed as 5*.

On the whole a very enjoyable stay.

Firstly we thought it was a good choice as the complex had 11 restaurants and 12 bars......... problem was we were assigned to two restaurants and two bars, and unless you were booked in the other hotels on the complex you could not use facilities. You could pay for other bars, but why should you a beer is a beer in the end.

We were even told where to sit on the beach, Security were on you if you moved !!!!

Clean (ish) when I get over the food posioning (had for last three days) probably due to luke warm food, sure it was nice food once when it was hot...
The room was nice & clean though,

They should also invest in some new CD's listening to the christmas CD looped all day in March was painfull.

Please can you tell me why no one mentioned the prays that was belted out through loud speakers at several times of the day starting at 05:30. It is very annoying, I could only image what its like when your kids get woken up each morning. What a nightmare. Plus points. I thought that Domina time is a great idea. The hotels clocks are set an hour earlier so you get more daylight and sun. The staff where very nice except the cleaner bothered us 4 times regarding a leaving tip. The food was very good and you had a choice of five buffet style restaurants.This place is huge with lots of bars and swimming pools but Harem customers could only drink at two bars unless they paid and they where rather dull. You could not swim in all the pools either. I would rate this place as a four star at best. Yes our second room had a jacuzzi but there was no tea and coffee facilities and no iron or board. There are more minus than pluses and I enjoyed my time there but would not recomend it to people.
