From trip adviser yorkshirelass7

Stayed at the jolie ville from 28 march-11 april and can honestly say it was love at first sight. As soon as the bus pulled in to the hotel I had a good feeling and I wasnt dissapointed.

Check in went smoothly and quickly and we were taken to our room which was an upper floor room in block 17 on the main walkway between reception and pool area. The room was very spacious and clean with a large double bed and a flat screen tv. For some reason we also had a bottle of water in the fridge, bowl of fruit, dish of nuts flowers and a bottle of wine with a courtesy card from the manager. We also had the bathrobes and slippers which we thought you only received if you were returning visitors.

Hubby wasnt too well for the first 3 or 4 days so we did have to use the room service for food a few times, We found this very speedy with a good menu and reasonably priced.

The housekeeping was fantastic, we had bed and towels changed daily and more often if needed. Our housekeeper was a very smart young man who was always polite and friendly and never tried to rush you out of your room to clean. He waited until you left the room but was always about in case you needed anything. Another young man called every night about 6.30 to see if you needed anything and to close your curtains and turn your bed down also gave you your goodnight chocolates.

The gardens and walkways are absolutely beautiful and are constantly being cleaned although they are never in your way. they were even polishing all the marble walkways in the middle of the night.

All the workers (buggy drivers pool attendants,bar staff, beach staff and security) are so friendly and happy and will do anything to make your stay there a good experience.

We were on a b&b basis and found this brilliant, there was so much choice, actually im a very picky eater and even i couldnt find any thing to complain about.

We never had a problem finding a sunbed either by the pool or on the beach and it was really good having good clean towels supplied daily.

We also got 2 invites to a bit of a management get together with drinks and a buffet. (Ithink this is something else that is usually for returning guests)

We might have not been returning guests on this occasion but we will definately be returning again. As soon as possible.

Probably lots more to say but cant think of now. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Overall one of the best hotels we have stayed in and anyone going there is in for a really fantastic holiday.

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.
