Me and two friends have just returned from this hotel, we are all 25 years old and the hotel caters for all ages. However saying this the children could get bored, the pool is not huge but you are 20 seconds from the beach so thats ok.

The major problem people have with the hotel is the food… I have done many all inclusives and this is a common problem. Whilst I never got food poisoning nor did anyone I spoke to it was not great, although I know a lot of people who did really like the food. I have to admit I wasn’t a fan – I ate a lot of potato’s and pasta, the desert was good though.

In my opinion it was great that the beer was poured out of a bottle – could never be watered down and was good quality. People moan about plastic cups – it is that for your safety – no one wants broken glass on the beach or around the pool nor do you want to dodge glass in flip flips in the bar area. The music wasn’t incessant and loud in the bar – if it got loud they would happily turn it down. As for someone saying the hotel was under the flight path – I heard 2 planes in 7 days and that was on a Tuesday at 2pm hardly complaint worthy.

The beds are fairly hard but I never had a bad nights sleep, shower was good heat and power, rooms cleaned daily and was always clean hotel. People moaned about mosquito spraying in evening – this is for your benefit and happens in every country I have been to! There are flies around the pool in the day but again this has happens all over Egypt – and ive been a few times! The beach is virtually fly free and has a nice breeze.

There is an abundance of water sports from the beach guy Bonzo – nice guy and gives good discount but the English will always pay more as we are more affluent than the Russians who go there. I paid £20 for quad bikes with no speed restrictions and could also do jumps and slides – no where else will let you, £7 for ringo’s, £50 to have speed boat for an hour (that is for a group not per person) and you get to drive and it was £20 for 2 turns of water skiing. Russians pay about 70% of this. There was also very little hassle from shop keepers in Sharm old town which was 5 mins away.

Na’ama Bay is 10 mins taxi it’l be about £4 but you can get it for £2.50 – we were just lazy and couldn’t be bothered to haggle! Never a problem getting one to or from hotel at any time of day. Nightlife is amazing – Na’ama Bay has Pacha, Little Buddha and Hard Rock as clubs – mainly house music with some R&B, then there are English bars Camel and Tavern and some smoking places. If you are there for nightlife (like me) its great, on Wednesday’s get in a cab to El Fanar – beach party starts at 12 (get there at 12 too) and is brilliant, its not on sand so don’t worry about clothes (£4 from hotel) and Dol Che Vita on Friday’s is a foam party – outdoor club that is amazing – about £5 in cab. Drink prices are about £2 a bottle of beer and £3 large spirit and mixer and £5-£7 for a cocktail. Not great value to be honest. Clubs are £7 - £15 to get into after 12, free for ladies and guys get money back in drinks vouchers.

I love Egypt and will be back next year.. to this hotel, probably not but it was a close call between this and Sharm Holiday, but Sharm Holiday’s was bigger and had an entertainment programme, whilst not superb it was fun and I made friends with entertainment so much so I have followed them around Europe!! All in all it was a good hotel with great guests and the different nationalities mixed well and we were out on nights with Russians and Americans, I would recommend this hotel and bar the food was really good value! Also have to give special mention to the workers, they are always smiling even though they work 21 days and have a week off. Reception was great and so were bar staff. Don’t be nervous if you have booked this hotel you will have a great time!

We have been twice to this hotel now and would not go anywhere else.
First time was in Nov.2006. We were amazed by the cleanliness of the room and the politeness of the staff. The only rude people we encountered were the Russians who talked to the staff as if they were something they had scraped off their shoes. But the hotel staff were polite back to them, which is more than i could have done.
anyway we went back again in Nov 2007 because we liked it so much. The minute we walked into reception on our arrival, Ahmed the receptionist recognised us straight away and welcomed us warmly. He is such a nice guy and very helpful.
We dumped our cases upstairs and went down for dinner. they were having an outside meal that night with dancers for entertainment, and Nagi the restaurant manager, recognised us too and made us feel welcome. It was as if we had come home.
The staff are polite, very hard working and can't do enough for you. Yes the food is basic but it was good and it filled you up. Tea and coffee and drinks were available all day.
The waiters at the restaurant were efficient and quick, one in particular, Mahmoud, was very helpful and if he knew your preferences he didn't forget them. For example i like butter with my meal at night but it's not on display for the evening meal so i asked him for some, and every evening after that he came over with butter for us without us having to ask for it. Brilliant
The pool was exceptionally clean and had a bar which was open from 10am - 4pm. Water was a bit cold though and it would have been nice if it were slightly heated. There were plenty beds and parasols around so you can get enough shade if you want it.
The beach is across the road is busy and has a bar. The water is lovely and warm and some nights there are beach entertainment.
The disco is basic and the young kids liked it if there were enough of them, but most were happy to sit peacefully and chat. That's the kind of hotel it is...quiet and peaceful and relaxing. It has three small shops attached to it and a small doctors clinic which i only used once when i got bitten and that is hardly the hotels fault.
It is only a ten minute walk to old sharm market which you can spend hours going round.
On the whole i love the hotel, and will not go to another one. I have made it my home in Sharm and am looking forward to going back next April. We never want to go home when we are there.
If you are into posh nosh and five star hotels then its not for you. But if you like simple tastes and friendly atmosphere then this is the hotel you will like.
Absolutely great.
Well done Turqoise Hotel in Sharm, you have made that hotel a home from home. Roll on April 2009

We have to write this review as we were starting to dread what we had booked.
But we need not of worried. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly, even the chef made a plate of chips for my daughter to take out of the restaurant as she was asleep through diner.
The food is a bit basic but breakfast is fine. The hotel does have a lot of European guests and the food and disco is geared up for them, but they were all very freindly to us.
The beer is bottled so it's not watered down but the wine is a bit iffy
Take plenty of mossi guard and apply it before you leave the airport as they dont always give you time before they get yer.
Overall we all enjoyed it 2 adults and 2 children aged 4 and 2 and we would go back again

We stayed at this hotel in early Jan. 2008 and what a great hotel it was,. It is 5 min. walk from old sharm has its own beach just across the road, plenty of space around the sun beds, the sand leaves a lot to be desired, but is no worse than the rest of the bay. The water is crystel clear with fish in abundance, go on to the piers to see the bigger fish, a little bread really gets them feeding. The hotel staff are really good and do speak engish, although most of the guests are from the eastern block and not very friendly. The food is of good quality and plenty of it, but can get repetative, so choose wisely. Taxis are everywhere and do try to screw you, never no change! charge from the airport to hotel 60-70 egyption pounds is your bench mark. We had a really good time and would certainly go backto this hotel.
