| said: We arrived New Years Eve just in time for the celebrations,the hotel is really nice and organised,no confusing situations when you first arrive.
The hotel is spotless,cleaned regularly.
The food was ok. Im a bit of a picky eater and I managed. Every night there are a couple of options,always beef or chicken usually,salad,soup,breads,pasta. Be careful with the salads as they wash it in their water and weaker stomachs might not like it.(like mine!).There are a nice selection of puddings,(the guy on the puddings proper laser cuts the cakes hes a bit stingy).
The breakfasts are fine,the omelettes are gorgeous,sometimes I had 2.
My only complaint there could have been a bit more choice in food but then its not a massive hotel and there are some great places to eat in Naama Bay.
The location was a bit of a thorn but there are plenty of free shuttle buses to Naama Bay,just be on guard when they come because the rude foreigners push in when you have been waiting longer.
There is no entertainment, but a good English bar,just make sure you ask for your change because they accidentally on purpose forget to give it you.
The hotel beach is a bit scary when you first see it,you heard the expression sardines,but its worth putting up with. This is the beach where the coral reef is. All the boat trips come here ,it is absolutely amazing,you swim over the coral and then it drops 100 feet and there are scuba divers swimming below you,the fish are fabulous. Make sure you go snorkelling and you will need protective swimshoes for your feet as you have to walk over some coral. There is a free shuttle bus here regularly.
If you dont fancy this beach every day our Thomson rep reccomended us to go to Terrazina beach which is 5 mins by taxi in Old Sharm,its great. There are bean bags laid out. A really chilled atmosphere,it has its own dj playing trendy dance music and by 3pm everyone is dancing on the beach to the chilled out grooves. Popular with families too,it costs 3 pound to get on but you get a towel ,bed and umbrella and no hastle.
The restaurant here is tasty from pizza to fresh fish.

| said: Excellent bar the poolside AstroTurf.
Food palatable and plenty of it. Maybe a little lacking in choice but only a small hotel.
Not bad between old town and Naama bay, but nobody tells you these things.

| said: The main areas of the hotel were very clean and well maintained alothough the astro turf around the pool could do with replacing. The hotel staff were very courteous and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Fresh clean towels were provided every day by a great pool attendant called Abdul who reserved us our favourite sunbeds every day.
The sunbeds are plentiful and very comfortable.
Our only critism is the lack of day time activities, OK if all you want to do is sunbathe and read a book but would have been nice to have had some pool games like aerobics or waterpolo. We're not sure though whether this was due to the time of year we travelled.
We also had a number of critters (don't know what breed of insects they were) that paid us regular visit to our bedroom but these were controlled by the back of a flip flop.

| said: I thought the holiday wasn't going to be bad after it started off bad we went with Imperial travel I would not recommend that travel agents I had written a letter but nobody has got back to me.
I was impressed with the hotel when we arrived the staff was friendly and had somebody to collect the bad right away we got shown to out room which was very clean and cool. The air conditioning was excellent and it even had a TV that played American channels.
We went into town straight away by taxi that only cost £2 the night life was good it was busy even at 12pm the restaurants were open and we had an Indian meal that only cost £16 together.
The swimming pool is very nice at this hotel.
The staff are always there to help and your room is cleaned everyday you can also trust the cleaners as nothing is ever taken.
The location isn't close to the town or market but there is a bus that takes you to town at certain times and picks you up again for free.
Opposite the hotel is a lovely sandwich place and the food is always fresh they do lovely salads to.
The only downside to the holiday is the bed, and breakfast is horrible and bland. The food at the pool bar was horrible and as we were getting ready to leave the hotel a rat run out of our cupboard.

| said: After reading a few reviews about this hotel (after booking it), I wasn't particularly looking forward to it. But I shouldn't have worried, I and my mate had a fantastic time.
We booked a Bed and Breakfast holiday. For breakfast you can basically have as much to eat as you can handle. There are pastries, cakes, omelettes, croissants, bread and bread rolls (with jam, butter or both), cornflakes. The food certainly hits the right spot. There is also a small selection of drinks available, which I wasn't that impressed with. You can have coffee, tea, orange squash and also another squash (I’m not sure what flavour).
The rooms are very clean, the cleaners call every day to make your beds, they'll even fold your clothes for you if you leave any lying about. If you don't want your room cleaned on a particular day just tell the cleaners, and they'll come back the following day.
There is a fantastic pool at the Tivoli, we were in there two or three times every day. You can swim at any time of day or night, apart from when the pool is being cleaned. In the middle of the pool area is an island which is where the pool bar is situated.
Alcoholic drinks are expensive, but the food is very cheap at the bar. Unfortunately though, I didn't like eating here too much because of the flies that were pitching on our food. The pizza's are highly recommended, and only cost about £1.40.
Another great thing about this hotel is the little gift shop next to the reception area. It's run by (not owned by though) a man called Chopan, who is an incredibly friendly man, and nowhere near as pushy as the other shopkeepers. He lets you look at things without forcing them down your throat. Also if you want anything that you can't find in his shop or anywhere else for that matter, let him know and he'll bring it into his shop the following day. He will let you buy it for a very fair price as well. He also gave us history lessons as well, which certainly opened my eyes.
There isn't much entertainment at this hotel, but there is a free shuttle bus to the beach and Naama Bay.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anybody who wants a clean place to stay, while they explore Sharm El Sheikh.

| said: The exterior of the hotel is very nice with a great pool. However the rooms are very dark and poorly furnished. This is supposed to be a three star but the rooms where certainly not up to standard.
The location is a good 15 mins by taxi to the main area of Naama Bay.
The breakfast was more Egyptian that European so there is very little to eat really although they did have bolied eggs.
The staff where really friendly and very helpful however the accommodation lets this hotel down.
