Just returned from Egypt , Coral Sea Resort . People have been asking me , have you had a good holiday ? well , not really , apart from the weather and the beautiful beach and clean room , i wasn't happy with anything else . The room itself was clean and our houseworker Sherrif was lovely but it wasn't like the pictures we had seen . The barstaff were rude and we were given our first cocktail in a papercup??? the waiters were mostly nice in the main restaurant. The gym was terrible !!! The... (read more)

have just returned from a fantastic holiday, wishing i was still there. The management, staff, cleaners (especially ours 2234)gardeners were polite, helpful and totally great. The resort is so lovely, not too many kids around too not like some of the other resorts. the food was excellent too so much of it, even though i ate salad most of the week i did try different food with it too. i cant wait to go back next year and for many years after too.

Written on: 17/05/2009 by skolsuper75 (1 review written)

We only had a few bad points really. We went all inclusive and found that the hotel had so much choice food wise, the bad point with the food was thats its quality was awful. Im not really a fussy eater, but finding little rock hard bits of crap when your munching your food isnt pleasant nor is chewing a big piece of grissle which meant that for most of our 11 night stay we lived over the road from the complex at burger king and kfc. Our second bad point was the minibar in the room. On our... (read more)

Me and my family went from 23 June to 8 July 2008. On arrival treated very special- bags taken to rooms and refreshments waiting whatever time you arrive! Staff were more than helpful could not do enough for you, mini fridge stopped working so I rang for desk and literally within five minutes there was a knock on the door with a new one! Food was lovely lots of variety, fresh bread, soaps, meat, fish, pastas, salads, fresh made to order pizzas.... something for everyone! hotel was immaculate... (read more)

Arrived at Coral Sea to welcome drinks and cheerful, helpful staff, room was large, comfortable and clean. Food excellent, staff likewise, bottled water available morning, lunchtime and dinnertime in restaurant. Kid's made lots of friends and enjoyed pool's, beach, kids club (to watch DVD's, playstation or simply play with friends when they wanted a break from the sun!, recommend you take some vd's with you as you can play these there). Only downside was booking trips with First Choice!... (read more)

Written on: 24/07/2008 by MANDIE1971 (1 review written)

Friendly staff, good pools, overall a good hotel. Variety of food could have been better, a bit repetitive. You could only get bottled water between 12.30 and 2.00pm otherwise it was warm water in dispensers around the hotel. Never had that one before! Only went for 10 days and was ill for 5 of them, have been to better hotels in Egypt and I would not return to this one. (read more)

Written on: 14/06/2008 by sharon greenleaf

Excellent place to stay if you are after a relaxing holiday. Entertainment was aimed at the children rather than adults but Naama Bay with its shops, bars and restaurants is within fairly easy reach by hotel shuttle bus. If you visit Naama Bay, you definitely need to sample the food at Viva Beach restaurant. The service is excellent, the staff friendly and the food was fabulous and very cheap.

If staying at this hotel, the reps would welcome some Cadbury's chocolate and a bottle of... (read more)

On arrival the hotel Coral Sea Resort just looked stunning we were checked quickly and our bags brought to our rooms, the rooms were only fab huge and big and we had a lovely sea view it was so lovely. Word of warning the beds are like stones and if you have a bad back this wont help matters. The pools are lovely.

After going to the Coral Sea Resort in September 2007 we came straight home and booked again for June, this time with our 2 children. With 5 weeks until we go back I cant wait and get butterflies at the thought. A holiday that I think we'll find hard to beat and I'm sure our children will love it just as much as we do. Hotel staff work very hard and were always friendly. (read more)

There was plenty of leg room on the First Choice flight. We had no difficulties on arrival at the airport. The return flight was delayed for 2 hours due to weather conditions in the U.K.
Hotel was only a short distance from the airport. The gardens in the Hotel were well maintained by a team of gardeners working in full sun all day. The pools where also well looked after and were not over crowded. The cool pool was welcoming and refreshing from the hot, hot sun. There was a good choice of... (read more)

Well then where do I start, we have just come back from Coral Sea Resort and arrived back in the house at 6am this morning.

The hotel is first class and how it has not been awarded five star status is beyond me, with the facilities and food being excellent. The rooms are cleaned daily with a change of sheets and towels each day. The hotel staff cannot do enough for you, just treat them with respect and they will really look after you. The cleanliness of the hotel is amazing. The weather is... (read more)

Other than the bad points we really enjoyed our stay at the Coral Sea Resort in Sharm El Sheikh. We had a jacuzzi suite, which was enormous and kept very clean. The entertainment is limited, but the First Choice entertainers work so hard, and they put so much effort in, so we can't fault them. We generally chilled out, but they organise lots of sports if you like that.

We did try to always tip the Egyptian staff as they get paid so little, and we were very generous with them, but we wish... (read more)

We have just returned from the Coral Sea Resort and we were very impressed.
The hotel is very large and like other people we got lost on our way to our room. But we quickly found a number of short cuts back to the main building. The grounds are well kept and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.
The food was great, they supplied a good selection every day and for people who are a little fussy there was freshly cooked made to order Pizza, fries, Rice, Pasta and Salad at Lunch and... (read more)

Coral Sea Resort itself looks great and is in a great location. The entrance is impressive and away from the main road. Reception were helpful but the First Choice Reps are terrible. No guidance from them at all - your luggage is taken away and taken to your rooms - you have no need to worry about it although in the present climate is it wise to allow your luggage out of your immediate sight? Room was very clean and tidy. Plenty of space. Bathroom was good size. Towels for your loungers are... (read more)
