Coral Sea Holiday Resort & Aqua Park

Stayed at the Coral Sea Holiday resort. The room (1204) we had was jacuzzi suite room. Lovely and spacious. Spot less room. Around pool, no problem finding comfortable beds, and beach beds were in abundance too. The buffet, there was plenty to choice from & out side the chef was cooking specialties meats. Overall highly recommended.

The best hotel in Sharm, our 6th visit and we will always come back.

Really great location, great facilities, good food and accommodation was lovely. The whole place was well laid out. Plenty of sun loungers. Entertainment was great at night for kids and good facilities for kids.

The pools definitely need a revamp. They have had a plastic overlay on them which looks really tatty and made it slippy on the swim up pools. The access to the pools - the steps - were too short and the steps too deep between them for older people to manage. There were people with disabilities who struggled to get in and out - this really needs attention. The allocation of pool towels was stingy. Towels only given in room when the ones you had used were returned so you had to call someone for this. There should be a better system for changing towels.

We visited this hotel last year - 2024 - and had nothing but good things to say. So much so, we extended our trip an extra week while at the property. Unfortunately, in 2025, things have taken a sharp downturn. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s a ‘Holiday Village’ during our stay, when previously it wasn’t, or it’s something else. What we liked: - Swim-up room is super convenient - Grounds/nature in the hotel complex is beautiful and well kept What we didn’t like: - Variety and quality of food were really bad - including a bout of acute gastroenteritis for one of us. Really bland and repetitive menu, suited to maybe a teenager’s palate. Very limited options for vegetarians and especially vegans. Unless you love soya kofta. - Animation/entertainment is VERY kid-focused. The previous year included interesting performers like singers, saxophonists, guitarists, etc. This year, just violin playing the same 5 songs every night for 30 mins. Other than that, if you’re a couple without a kid, you’ll be bored out of your mind come evening time. - Cleaning staff were kinda pushy about giving tips, even when we had literally just arrived. The tips also don’t give you anything more than standard room cleaning - if you’re expecting those cool towel designs or flowers, you’ll be dissatisfied. - Nor applicable for all - but we had a free airport transfer by Booking, and the driver was doing 160kph into roundabouts. All the taxi’s in SSH are a gamble, but this one in particular was straight up scary. Dude even hit a curb at 90kph while he was busy texting and driving with one hand and looking at his phone. If you value your life, maybe walk :D - A different point is about the clinic. If you do get sick, try and get to a local clinic if you can and avoid the one in the complex. The staff are amazing there, my thanks to Ahmed and Mustafa, but the cost is insane comparatively.
