I nearly changed the hotel after reading some reviews, but that would be a serious mistake. The centre of Naama Bay- centre of Sharm is at your doorstep. You laugh at people asking if you need a taxi. Food lovely and large variety. staff helpful- I am a veggie and the chef walked me around the meals to show which hadn't had meat every day. there are 2 parts of the hotel- the main hotel and the villa part upstairs (take the lift to the third floor and there is a small vehicle with a driver to take you upstaris- no walking required).If you leave a small tip on the fisrt day like 50 LE there is no need to walk up to bar for a refill. the barman will run up to you which a full glass of whatever you had before as soon as he notices your glass is empty. Alternatively sit in the pool at the bar all day :) . beach staff lovely - voleyball of dancing with Mustafa very entertaining( those lads work all day. they have a small break after the beach and proceed to the evening entertainment in the sunset bar from 9:30 til 12 ) beach small but we were never there before 11 o'clock and never had a problem finding loungers. Locals keep trying to sell you trips or newspapers at the beach. just buy a trip - (quads were brilliant), and bring a book. problem solved. or just befriend one. then tell all the others you are dealing with Abdul. works as well. If you are to book an excursion get it off one of the salespeople on the beach- they give discounts. the rep at the hotel has them way overpriced. rooms lovely,big and clean. ours overlooked the main pool and also had a sea view. I have one complaint but it has nothing to do with the hotel. Budget Travel never bothered mentioning that the flight is through Larnaca. Standing like 2 idiots in the middle of the airport looking for Sharm and then standing in the queue for Cyprus not sure what's going on was not a good start.. anyway the holiday was brilliant and all inclusive is the only way to go. otherwise we would've spent a fortune at the pool & beach on drinks. alcoholic and non.But we spent it on fake bags and watches:) highly recommended.some person said this is an Egyptian 5 star not carribean. I would give it 5 stars anyway . one more thing. it was His birthday over there. staff noticed from the passport, rang our room on the day and left a bday cake in the room in the afternoon. nice touch

My wife and I have just returned from a weeks stay in Tropitel Naama Bay. The Hotel itself is lovely. I was suitably impressed on check in even if it was at about 3am. If you are flying from Dublin please be advised that you will travel to Egypt via Cyprus (we weren't told this and spent 10minutes scratching our heads at the airport looking for a flight to Sharm when there was none, but our flight number corresponded with the flight to Larnaca) Anyway, no fault of the hotels. The presence of the scanners on the door of the hotel was a little disconcerting but I can understand why. On check in we were told to follow a member of staff to our room, which was a camel ride away. It is quite a big hotel and our room seemed to be the other side of town. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. The pools are great and the staff tried to keep everyone amused throughout the day. There are also some water slides which are quite good too. I like my beer, and was frustrated that even though the beer was poured from a bottle you always ended up with a glass that contained about 2 mouthfuls (I have a big mouth). Why couldn't they just give you the bottle? We were AI and while I feel my wife and I got our moneys worth through the drinks, I thought the food wasn't up to scratch. Each day had a different theme e.g Italian, Bavarian etc but it all looked pretty much the same to me. On Italian day the had a few pizzas on offer but apart from that I couldn't see much difference. We ended up eating out 4 nights as we had our fill of the same food for the 1st couple of nights. The hotel guests were mostly Russian during our stay and although I don't wish to tar everyone with the same brush, on the whole, they were rude, selfish and obnoxious. Obviously queueing is not big in their country and they would walk over the top of you to get to the food counters. Apart from the food I would recommend this hotel. The staff were friendly for the most part, the facilities were good, it's location is excellent, and if you like a tipple you will your moneys worth on the AI.

my friend and i had booked this hotel through you travels sales reps recommendation, we arrived at about ten pm, checked in very swiftly, reception chap was very nice proffessional and efficiant. the hotels sweeping staircases are really nice ,a bit like dynasty. the hotel could not be better for location. i have been to better all inc hotels before in the sense you get all your drinks free ie water, coke, ice lollies etc but once you get the hang of it, its ok. i would say the staff are very friendly without being sleazy like i had been warmed of egyptians. the food was lovely, plenty choice, swimming pools great, entertainment really good, they all work so hard!!! beach a bit small but you just have to go fairly early, excursions first class, we went snorkelling for the day and swimming with dolphins, amazing experiences, i loved this holiday so much we,re going back in 8 weeks, i just got back last week, im staying in the same hotel, everything... wicked wicked wicked, cant wait!!!!!

This hotel does not do what it says on the TIN...myself , partner and son went here in september last year, it was very hot and the hotel was fine really, except we would have never gone all inclusive if we had of known, the food was ok but the drinks were a complete nightmare going all around the hotel to find the right bar at the right time that served drinks that we didnt have to pay for. The lobby bar which is the first bar you come to when you've been out in the scorching heat is for paying guests and only available to us at silly hours, the staff at this bar were quite rude and were never willing to give my son change for the internet or pool table. Reception staff and resturant staff were lovely. I could never understand why the staff were always reluctant to tell you were all the swimming pools were./??? Anyway over all we went to see the pyramids they were amazing! The hotel was clean....but beware of the FOOD us english have sensative tummys and myself and partner came back with food poisoning. Would we go back, probably not. In my opinion talking to friends if you want to go to Egypt go for the Real 5 star hotels
