My husband and I went to this hotel for a week on a half board basis and we were very pleased with what we got........So much so that we are going again in April with our kids...........It is absolutely immaculate and the gardens are fantastic........The rooms do need upgrading but that is happening now with no disruption to the guests as they do 1 block at a time to minimise disruption..........The public areas were kept pristine and the cleaning of all floors etc was done in evening to ensure that gusets wee not disrupted...........The food is superb and you cant fail to find something you like to eat............However we are going on a b&B basis this time as we missed out really on all the fabulous places to eat that are very cheap. The beach bar has a happy hour 12-1 and 7-8pm everyday.........Drinks were on the expensive side £3 for a bottle of beer is rather extortionate especially when the same bottle is 80p in the shop outside the hotel entrance and I paid £4.80 for a cocktail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.A good thing to remember if you are going in this area is that just along from the jolie ville beach bar there is another called the Gazala and they do happy hour from 5.30-8.30pm with ALL drinks buy 1 get 1 free and are cheaper than jolie ville prices.........It also serves delicious fish dishes at reasonable cost............If you are gonig to this hotel avoid the rooms in the palm area as these directly back onto the main street in naama bay and several holiday makers told us it was awful with the sound of the towns nightclubs booming till 4am. If you are going to book any excursions then the Red Sea Cruise is a must........Fantastic snorkelling and a decent meal served on board for £35 each we shall be going on the trip again when we return in 2 weeks time. There are loads of fish just of the jetty on the beach directly in front of hotel and plenty of sunbeds all day. Overall the most relaxing holiday we have ever had and I wouldnt hesitiate to recommend this hotel. We are told as well that as returning guests that you do get several perks so we are looking forward to this..........e.g. chocolates wine and flowers in room with bathrobes and a meal with the management at no extra cost............If you are doing any trips with an early start and tell reception the day before they will make you up a lovely breakfast bag containing fresh fruit water juice bread rolls boiled eggs and cake that you can pick up from reception. The only complaint I do have is that the waiters are not very helpful and on several occassions we were ignored and felt the need to complain to the restaurant manager who was very apologetic and assured us that it would not continue..but it did!!!!!!!!!!! But hey you cant everything!!!!!!!!!

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.
