Coral Sea Holiday Resort and Aqua Park

The facilities were excellent, and the waiters were all charming. it is certainly worth the cost of it and it is quite the opposite of what is thought of Egypt. any problems were sorted very quickly and they applied many complimentries to make it feel like home.it is truly one of the best places i have ever visited.

First of all, I'll get this out of the way... objectively this is a great hotel. If you're coming here as a family you'll love it. First impressions were excellent, we arrived just before tea time and reception were great at check in, well organised and very friendly ️ Staff - without doubt they are the most impressive thing about the hotel. To a man, they were all wonderful. So happy, friendly and always helpful. The hotel should be commended on putting together such a great team. Room - we booked a swim up room and it was lovely. A great size. Huge super king size bed and a single for our daughter. Large bathroom with walk in shower. Walk in wardrobe. Water in the room, fridge with tea & coffee making facilities. Good size balcony with gate opening out onto our private pool - not heated but as it's breaking through 30⁰c every day this is not a problem at all, it's nice to have a quiet cool pool to jump into. Restaurants - You can't expect fine dining at these places so as long as you don't expect Gordon Ramsey cooking your meals you'll do ok. The main buffet serves breakfast, lunch and tea. There's plenty of choice and you'll find something that you'll enjoy. Fresh cooked omelettes, eggs & bacon in the morning is a nice touch. Each night has a different theme so it does get a nice mix over course of a week. Plenty of salads etc and all the brightly coloured cakes you could ever want for desert. There's 4 A la Carte restaurants (Indian, Oriental, Mediterranean and American Diner). All are nice change away from the hustle of the buffet. The food is good (the Indian was my personal favourite - the vindaloo was fantastic). As my wife and daughter are both vegetarian they would have preferred a bit more choice for them. The A la Cartes are part of the all inclusive and you can go to each once per week. Booking is done via some giant touch screens that are dotted around the reception area. You can book 48 hours in advance. Pool & bar areas - all spotlessly clean and plenty of space. It's not very busy at this time of year and you'll have no problems getting sun loungers. Bar staff will come and serve you drinks at your loungers always with a smile on their face. Very relaxing all round. Entertainment - There's music & games by the pool during the day if you want to get involved but it's not over the top with crazy loud music (there is a quiet pool if you want avoid it though). Night time there's a mini disco for the kids, a music/dancing show and a singer in the upstairs bar. If anything, these are the hotel's weak spot, the shows are pretty generic and don't have much wow factor. When we were there, the shows were done inside but there is an amphitheatre near the main pool so maybe they do them out there during the summer and the shows might be more impressive if done in that setting. Tipping - as there's so many staff I was a bit unsure how to go about tipping. Normally I'd wait til the end of the holiday and slip the waiter/barman/hou

We stayed for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff were fantastic with the children and were very accommodating. Location was great and the sea was safe for paddling. Pools were great, food was very good. Overall excellent and a great holiday had by all.

Having never been to Egypt we were a tad apprehensive however the hotel did not disappoint. It was extremely clean and tidy with beautiful gardens. Khaled at the beach bar does the BEST cocktails. He couldn’t do enough for us. So polite and friendly & insisted on bringing drinks to our sun beds so we only had to move when we needed the loo! The al a carte restaurants were great. Gave us more choices throughout our stay. The general Buffett restaurant had a great range of choice and the waiters come to your table to take your drink orders. They couldn’t do enough for you and the minute you are finished with your plate they are cleared away really quickly. Our cleaner Ahmed was brilliant. He left amazing towel art on our bed everyday which turned into a competition with myself. He won !! We had a swim up room which was truly amazing. The only downside was that the pool was freezing as it was not heated !!! So we only used it once. The sea was warmer!. Possibly because we went during March the pool hadn’t had time to warm up for the season yet. Had it of been a heated pool it would have been perfect. Only the “quiet pool” was heated. We just spent our time on the beach instead. If you can book experiences out and about, definitely do this. We did the VIP boat tour and snorkelling along with quad biking and camel riding in the desert. These were amazing. Overall had a great holiday and definitely recommend it.

This was our first time in Sharm, it certainly will not be our last. We came as 4 adults & 2 children aged 11 & 6. The hotel is beautiful, our rooms were lovely & kept very clean. The food was perfect, plenty of choice for everyone. All the staff were amazing, very friendly, polite, they all went above & beyond to make you feel welcome. Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday.

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Coral Sea. We were 2 families (9 of us in total) It was our first time in Egypt and we all had the best time here, we did not want to leave. My brothers family did have a tummy bug the first week of the holiday but unsure where this was picked up as we had all eaten the same food. The food was delicious at the buffet and resturants. Staff we incredible everywhere. Everyone in and around the resort couldn't do enough for you and were all extremely generous. Every time our little boy went to the shop to buy a lolly the man would give him another one for free. They were great with all of the kids and loved it when they were practising their Arabic words. Rooms were clean and tidy. Had an issue with our shower one evening and someone came out to fix it straight away. The resort was having some refurbishments done but this didn't affect our stay at all. All restaurants were still accessible. The aqua park over the road was great, we wished we had ventured over there more during our first week as the kids loved it. Weather was great every single day which was nice to get away from the rainy English weather. Lots of sunbuds available at all pools and beach every day. Only one thing I would say is that to the right hand side of the jetty where the sand is softer is "adults only" - one day there were no adults there & our kids wanted to play n the soft sand so we walked over there and we were quickly moved on.. Very minor problems. We were all very sad to leave and cannot wait to return!

We arrived here on the 23rd March 2024 and stayed for 12 days. I come with my family which there was 19 of us including children and from the very beginning of our holiday the reception staff was very rude. The second day we decided we wanted to upgrade our rooms. So 3 of us family's with children upgraded and it cost us £160 we got a bigger room & pool view it was a lot closer to the restaurants and pools. But In the rooms they were dirty dusty and in my room there was a gap in the door so from then the mosquitoes were constantly getting in, In the end I had to put a towel up to stop them coming in. Our air con wasn't working for 4 days and no one seemed bothered to come and sort this it took them that long and for us to keep asking to sort it. There were mosquitoes squashed on the ceilings and walls where it obviously had not been cleaned off. This should have been an upgraded room it was not. One evening we wanted to go into soho square so we asked the taxi staff who work with the hotel how much it would cost and they was going to charge £70 for a small mini bus to take 6 of us adults and 7 children return !! so we thought that was very expensive we then got a quote from outside of the hotel and it only cost us £10 a family return for 3 taxis But the hotel staff was not happy and very rude to us that we went with outside of the hotel they wouldn't let us leave for about 45 minutes and would not let the other taxis come in and collect us baring in mind we had lots of children with us. So always go outside of the hotel for a taxi We had to always ask for fresh pool towels they were never clean ones in the room. They had Buggy's outside of the reception to help with luggage and people who would struggle to walk to end of the road as it was a long walk to get out of the hotel. They was always so rude and clearly didn't want to take us to the end of the road when we asked always huffed and puffed at us, would click their tongue must of been because we would always need a big one as there was alot of us and with prams One of the reception staff said to us because there was 19 of us and we had 6 rooms we could have a room for late check out didnt mention to us about an extra charge. The following day we went to reception and asked what room it would be because we would need to send all of our suitcases there and he said we could have 1 of the 3 upgraded rooms but it will cost us £60 obviously we was shocked because the way he was speaking the other day made out as if we could have a room so he did not explain himself very well and he was very rude about it. The waiters and bar staff were absolutely brilliant would not fault the people working in the bars and restaurants. Always so happy and great with the children. The end of our holiday we wanted to speak to the manager and the tui reps because we wasn't happy about how we was treated, well that was a waste of time, they didn't believe what we was saying was smirking at us when we was

Beautiful and Fabulous hotel, very clean and lovely food. The staff there are amazing, they see to your every need and nothing is too much trouble. What a fantastic week of winter’s sun we had. I requested a room near the amenities due to my walking disability and it was granted. I’d like to give a mention our room cleaner, He was was the most lovely guy and the room was cleaned to perfection each day., We stayed in the sister hotel across the road, Coral Sea aqua club a couple of years ago and we were able to use that hotel’s facilities too. Will definitely be back.
