Our second holiday in Sharm and the Sofitel was much as I expected. It is overall a good quality hotel, but not five star. This seems to be typical in Egypt. The hotel is set in huge grounds with a very good, large swimming pool and several small beaches. Each beach gives access to excellent snorkelling on the hotel's own... more

I was in Sharm for a diving vacation. Stayed at Sofitel for the first two weeks( March 6-20) of my vacation and since they don't have a room available for the third week, I had to move to Hilton Sharks Bay. Like the previous comments, check in was easy, although the lady at the reception forgot to give me my... more

Easily the best views in Sharm, very friendly & helpful staff, large pool, nice private beaches, lovely on-site Indian restaurant, a sea view room which is amazing when you wake in the morning, a relaxing romantic getaway with good size rooms. The only downfall however is that they are a little dated and bathroom needs a touch-up. Overall it is... more

Three of our party of five had stayed at this hotel three years previously & were keen to return. It is one of the best situated hotels that we have ever stayed at being at the eastern end of Naarma Bay, with every room facing the sea over the pool ( the largest hotel swimming pool that we have seen)... more

This hotel is by no means a 5 star hotel... perhaps it is closer to a 3 star hotel. We spent a week in march 2008 at this hotel and everything was disappointing. There was no air-conditioning and when inquiring from the hotel manager about the problem he stated it was hotel policy to turn on the chiller system effective... more

After reading many reviews on trip advisor and heeding much of the advice given we choose the Sofitel in Sharm and had an excellent holiday, mainly due to the brilliant hotel. It is situated in an excellent location at the end of Naama Bay and therefore is a lovely stroll out if you want a bit of life. There are... more

I've tried to include information that I believe others may find useful, especially those who worry about the minor details...like myself. I hope it's not too long and of some use. Making the booking I booked the hotel directly through an online travel agent and got a good deal on a garden view room for single use. After receiving confirmation... more

After spending 2 nights in Cairo ( Le Meridien Giza), 3 nights in Aswan ( Isis Island)and 2 nights on a nile cruiser ( Liberty) it was such a surprise to find a hotel in Egypt where the staff, from the gardener, to the manager, are so FRIENDLY and genuine! It was so refreshing and we are so glad we... more

We have just reurned from 10 days at the Sofitel. The Hotel is more 4* then 5* mainly because it needs updating in rooms and communal areas. The best things about it were the views from all rooms and the excellent Staff. Food in the main restaurant was just passable but La Brise and the Indian Restaurant were good. Don't... more
