we were a party of 4 adults staying one week in mid March 2008. All agreed it was best hotel we have ever stayed in. We had 'courtyard rooms' -ie facing other rooms with an empty marbled courtyard inbetween. Large rooms, big bathroom, big terrace. Least expensive rooms but no need to pay for dearer ones unless you want to sit on a balcony with a view of pool all day! Don't bother with expensive 'Royal' rooms recently built at front of hotel - immature gardens, and very exposed to wind - and its always windy - with an extra half mile walk to beach. Hotel gardens lovely, exceptional swimming pools, lazy river and water slides. 146 steps across wooden bridges and Treasure Island Pirate type boardwalks to the edge of sea. ok going to beach but remember its 146 steps UP on your return ! Four big wooden pontoons out over the coral to enable you to snorkel and swim with fish. Coral in excellent condition - no crowds or queues on the pontoons. Lifegauards on duty on each one. Plenty sunloungers at pools and on 'beach' areas. Food in all the restaurants was first class. Never ever buy any wine -all a disaster.Staff everywhere excellent. We will return for two weeks next year. Hotel shop poor. Free hotel bus to centre of Naama Bay ( coral there deteriorated alarmingly over last three years.)Short taxi ride - cheap. If you are going to Sharm for one week and don't intend to tour away from there then no need to buy the £10 visa on entry at airport-just ask for 'Sinai Only Visa' this is free.

We stayed at this hotel from 8th-15th March and the brochure does not do it justice. The rooms are of excellant standard, clean, comfortable and spacious. The Standard rooms do not supply kettle facilities, the only downside is that standard rooms look onto a galley and face opposite other rooms. We would therefore recommend you upgrade to a seaview or pool room. Or even better the Royal Wing which we did for the last three nights and you will not be dissapointed. The breakfast buffet was ample with a good selection. Totally recommend the lebanese restuarant and the grill were both good value for money. Watch the spirits, a double G & T cost me £10. All the staff were extremely helpful and could not do enough for you. The pool areas are fantastic both for singles and families, families can use the family area and couples can find plenty of quiet places to relax and unwind. The beach has a wonderful and unique decking are but is not ideal for the elderly or unfirm, where as the rest of the hotel is fine. The Royal Wing was far beyond our expectations with a size and half bath with shower and your own terrace area with comfortable chairs overlooking the grounds. Two queen size beds and sapcious room. With hairdryer in everyroom and also a kettle supplied, as well as robes, slippers and beach bag, to make that holiday extra special. Thoroughly recommend this holiday for a romantic stay with sunshine guaranteed.

My best friend and I researched this hotel, arrived 2nd March, and were not disappointed. Beautiful layout, unobtrusive but efficient staff, helpful porters etc. Bedrooms nice, good size, excellent bedlinen, generous balcony. No hospitality tray, asked about it and this is the norm here, though we were loaned a kettle when we asked!

Great bathroom, decent shower, air-con useful. Choice of nice restaurants, Lebanese(good but pricey) in the golf club, chinese (excellent food), buffet and bistro in the main hotel. Breakfast was excellent, with large choice of cooked and chilled/fresh items for any tastebuds(nice pancakes!) Alcoholic drinks pricey as in all hotels here.
Room service prompt and meals very nice. Gym/spa area good.
Pool, beach and reception staff all excellent, very polite, particularly Karim, Ashraf, Zak and the Mandarin staff were especially welcoming. Fabulous grounds, very nicely kept, lots of little areas for refreshments, and plenty of sunbeds in the shade or in the sun. Great terraces heading down to the beach, nice spots to take in the view--Treasure Cove beach bar staff were nice, apart from one or two who were slightly too attentive with two unattached female guests! Well worth staying here.

Just back from a week in the Jolie Ville Golf hotel in Sharm el Sheikh and we loved the hotel. Had stayed in the Luxor one before and this was just as good.

Paid a small amount to upgrade to the Royal Wing and it was well worth it as the rooms were much nicer and there was the use of an extra pool.

There was a good range of food with the usual buffet, several pool bars through the day, a diner style restaurant, a Lebannese and a Manderin to choose from. Tried them all and didn't get a bad meal in any of them.

The staff were more than helpful and you never had to look far to find someone if you needed them.

The only thing I would say is that while they still stock the Movenpick ice cream (they are now run by Maritim), it is almost twice the price in the JV Golf compared to the JV Casino hotel in Sharm. Less competition out of the town I suppose. Still that was the only thing I would say let it down so I still give it a 5.
