We had a great 2 weeks at the Hotel Jolie Ville Resort & Casino in Sharm, end of Feb/beg of March. Our room was big, immaculately clean and very comfortable. The hotel was great, very pretty with all the lights in the gardens and around the pool. All the staff were brilliant, friendly and very helpful. Our room was in block 17 which was halfway between the reception and pool and ideal. There was some renovation of the blocks near to the pool area going on but it was mostly screened off from the guests, though it may have affected those around them. We were glad to be on the beach side of the road mainly because we spent loads of time on the beach! There's no need to take any beach towels as you get a towel token and can exchange this for a towel at any time - lovely Egyptian cotton towels too! The breakfast was fabulous - fresh omelettes, pancakes, waffles, all made while you watched plus some yummy pastries, buns from the bakery (well, you are on holiday!) and loads of other breakfast goodies. We had nice meals in Zigolini (the Jolie Ville Italian Restaurant), Pomadoro, Kanebesh (beach side), and definitely worth a visit is the Indian Restaurant at the Sofitel Hotel at the far end of the resort (be sure to book and ask for an outside table - you will not be sorry). We booked the one day Red Sea Cruise with Thomson and had a great day on board a lovely cruiser with 3 very professional divers, and saw some fantastic reefs and fish on the 3 snorkelling stops that we made. Would advise hiring the wet suit as well as snorkel and flippers (I think it was only £10). We got a much better rate of exchange over there so don't change you money before you go. We met some lovely people on our trip and will definitely be going to Sharm again and to stay at the Jolie Ville.

Recently returned from a week in the Jolie Ville, chosen by location and previous reviews. Mixed feelings on the hotel. We had to change rooms as ours was overlooking the service road - bins etc and was well below par on the decoration. We later saw that the rooms were in the middle of a bit of an update in as much as the furniture was resprayed and new curtains.
This is by no means a 5* hotel - I would say it is probably a 3+* to a 4*.
BEACH - nice situation, clean but some broken beds and hammocks.
ROOMS - good size but very dated and well in need of the current spruce-up. Bathrooms still looked dated however. No tea or coffee altho' mugs and kettle provided plus a fridge. No bathrobes, slippers or extras (usual with a 5*). Rooms very clean
GROUNDS - lovely, and spotless everywhere.
Location for Naama Bay night life - excellent although rooms in the annexe back on to the town.
BREAKFAST - pretty basic, but fresh with something for most tastes. (we were B&B only)
STAFF - Overall very helpful although care should be taken at the beach bar where my change was not returned even after prompting, but it wasn't worth making a scene. We signed for all our drinks after that.
I have been critical only on our expectations from Travel Agent descriptions and other reviews.
We enjoyed our holiday and might stay here again if we ever came back as our expectation would be lower.

Just back from a fantastic week at Jolie Ville. We stayed on a B&B basis,and the choice at breakfast was extensive, there was something for everyones taste,even the fussiest of eaters would be impressed. We didnt sample the food in the hotel in the evenings,but a couple we met on the first day were half board,and they were extremely happy with the food offered for their evening meal. Different themed evenings throughout the week. Both breakfast,and Dinner are served in the Orangerie restaurant close to the pool,and beach entrance.
The beach bar has a happy hour from 12 noon till 1pm, and again in the evening from 8pm till 9pm (if i remember correctly)
The Seagulls Bar,which is situated straight across from the Orangerie,also has a happy hour from 9.30pm till 10.30pm.

The staff here were outstanding,always a smile and a warm greeting,no matter what time of day,and nothing was too much trouble for them. I have stayed in various hotels around Egypt,and I have to say the Jolie Ville has been the best so far.
Our room was close to reception area,and faced a small road leading to the annexe,which i thought may disturb our sleep at night,but we never heard a thing. We had 2 balconies,one of which had the sun all day by 10am so a nice place to sit if you dont feel like sitting around the pool. I may add that i was pleasently surprised to find that the pool was heated,as i found the sea to be a little bit chilly for me at this time of year.The rooms have a kettle and mugs,hairdryer and a safe.
The gardens around the hotel were beautiful,and very well maintained,and the scent from the Jasmine was wonderful. We even had an orange tree outside our balcony,which by the end of the week was missing a few oranges :-) maybe they ended up on the table at breakfast, or some guests were light fingered, I dont know :-D


We had a fun evening in Casino Royale,well worth a visit.
The Jolie Ville also has a bakery,which serves waffles to die for,and i highly recommend you have at least 1 during your stay.


I will definately be returning to this hotel in the future,and would go again tomorrow if i could.

My husband and I are just back from Naama Bay after a fabulous week. We stayed at the Jolie Ville Movenpick (now owned by Maritim hotels) and this was a superb hotel with beautifully -kept public areas and gardens that took your breath away. Staff were all very good humoured and friendly. We were on a bed and breakfast basis - breakfast served in the Orangerie had food to suit everyone's tastes. I am very fussy with what I eat but I gave this place 10 out of 10. The hotel is in a perfect location with one exit taking you right on to the beach (best stretch in Naama bay) while the side exit takes you out to the centre of the resort. Best meal outside was at a place called Vino's - recommended by the Thomson rep. There is an "off-licence" just outside the hotel called Drinkies where you can buy a decent bottle of local wine for around £5 - otherwise wine in the restaurants tends to be quite expensive. You will hear the noise from the nightclub which is not in the hotel grounds (despite you feeling that it's right below you). The place doesn''t have a roof and that's why the sound carries....... - a small blip on an otherwise excellent holiday.
