+ve: Everything was astonishing. Excellent hotel, nice room, good food and friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay and for sure we will visit it again. -ve: Guest relations insisted to send feedback before my stay end.
It was a pleasant stay, we stayed for 4 nights in garden view classic room, the scenery was beautiful, th staff were helpful and hospital. Room service was good, only 1 comment on food portion; it is so minimal for what is payed. Everything was clean in the room but during breakfast and dinner in ramses, the staff were always late to clean the tables and we would st...
The facilities in the hotel were very good. The thing that impressed us most was the wonderful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. They were courteous, friendly and genuinely nice. We travel all over the world and have stayed in top class hotels but we have never met such lovely people anywhere. They deserve 5 stars just for their staff
Very large hotel with massive swimming pool particularly for families to enjoy, fantastic reefs with a huge variety of red sea life,very pleasant hotel staff,rooms alsways kept tidy and clean and quite spacious with balcony overlooking the sea as all the rooms are,equestrian centre if you like horse riding, no dive centre which was a disappointment, the hotel would rea...
I'll be honest, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, but there are a lot of things that mean this resort is not 5 star. While it may have been planned to be a 5-start hotel, time has wearied the facilities, things look a little run down, and the rooms, while large, are not furnished like a 5-star venue. There is only limited, very slow wifi available in the lobby (or, if ...
In general the experience of the hotel was quite wonderful. the staff was friendly and would do anything we ask within seconds. the scenery is absolutely beeautiful with the outdoor swimming pools and all. the beach was not that good but that's just the rocky Red Sea it's not the hotels fault. The food was great. Loved the big buffes. The indoor buildings are although ...

This resort had the best location so far, on my yearly break and decide to choose this resort as it is near to airport and the dive operator can come and fetch me at this resort, anythis the room is clean and nice, staffs is very helpful with everything, love the pool bar and the view to Red Sea is cool and chill. The buffet however is average, normal and i was confu...
Amazing stay, I really wish we have more hotels like Jaz Dahabeya in Egypt. I think it should be taken as a role model. The food was not super though, but this is might be a result of limited food quality in Dahab in general.
You have no wifi in the room, only at the reception ( it’s very very bad connection ) we have no air-condition between 1 november till 1 april ( when we going, the température it’s 35 degrés ) and the housekeeping stole us inside the room 20€ ...
beautiful gardens and grounds
I have really nothing to complicated only to Praise. I was looking for a quiet, yet comfortable and easy get to Beach Destination. I got it all. Food was great and Staff very friendly. Totally recommended!

It’s really 5 stars hotel . Amazing entertainment for the adults and kids . The aqua is super fantastic. The staff are very cooperative Special thanks for Mr. Mostafa Hamdy in the reception for his great help and continues support..... I really like his way of working . Only one concern is about the level of the food it is not good as other resorts in Sharm and unfor...
Everything was good except the location of the hotel. They should include the transportation regarding their far location. Also there is one point I dislike which is ( they charge if you didn’t return the key card of the room ) this is the first hotel doing this case.
Every thing is wonderful .... definitely we will come back.
First there’s no way that the food is 5 star although you can eat plenty of it. Also Agoda advertised free 2 way transfers but we actually had to pay ( they did refund us 15 usd and apologized tho). The gym and pools are very nice and you can drink as much beer and vodka as you want but it is cheap local stuff, that is not the best to say the least. Anyway if the pri...
We really enjoyed our stay here, very happy with our choice considering there is so many to choose from in Sharm El Sheikh. The room was very big and overlooked the ocean, swimming pools and gardens. I think the rooms need the furniture and decor replaced as they are getting a bit old now but are still ok. There are three private beaches (600metres) located on the reso...
The staff is Amazing, we was in our honeymoon and went the Last 2 nights to this hotel, and it was by far the best experience in our trip Cons: the air conditioner un our room was old and very noisy
Thank you for the owner for making me feel so welcome in Dahab. I arrived very late after taking the Go Bus to Dahab, and he was happy to welcome me with a comfortable room, fast Internet, and filling breakfast - all for a very very reasonable rate. I highly recommend this hotel while you are in Dahab. Also, they were re-doing the pool, so I expect it will be even more...
Location was convenient near to the 24hrs supermarket, a lot of eateries etc. Delicious breakfast with an awesome view. Room is spacious and basic with an awesome view as well. Staff was all friendly and helpful. Thank you to Khalid who helped to arrange with airport transfer and also gave me a friendly reminder before the day. I would have missed the transfer if n...
nice service from the host, but equipment is really simple, no door for bathroom and no breakfast
Nice little hotel up the road just a bit from the ocean. Great little courtyard with a pool and complimentary tea/coffee. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
Dirty. Staff are unhelpful , sleep anywhere at the reception area, water cuts, construction work done in the evening and early morning . Internet price is 3 times more than booking direct .
not the newest, but a well maintained hilton resort, internationally rather max. 4 star. i was staying in the low season (summer), so it was not very busy and it was perfect for relaxing. the beach is nice, the location is still within the town, but in a quiet, less-touristy part (you need to walk a bit, or take taxi if you want to dine outside). perfect value for mone...
We stayed here 6years ago when it was the Hyatt and I am pretty sure we were in the same room again! We liked our room, a good size with a nice shaded balcony with a view of the golf course and the mountains beyond and a lovely bathroom. The food was good, it was all inclusive so some of the buffets got a bit repetitive, but OK. The drinks were good nice range of cockt...
Cheap places to stay in Janub Sina'
I had a lovely stay at the Falcom Naama Star Hotel, but it's not a hotel that's suitable if you're there on business. The hotel itself is clean and professional, with facilities that go beyond its 3* rating. However they seem to want to sell themselves very clearly to the package holiday crowd, so there are lots of very loud games by the pool, loud music during the day...
I stayed there for 2 nights alone. The best thing about the hotel is that cheap but really good quality. They have nice staffs and nice swimming pool. The Location is perfact. You can reach to any good restaurant in 3 minutes and carrefour supermarket, beach, tour company, shops, diving shop. If you are looking for cheap and cozy romm, go for this hotel.

Fine overall, need more work in the cleanses part. I found the toilet towels were disaster "almost black and tore" which made my confidence in the place very down.
Every thing is wonderful .... definitely we will come back.
Nice little hotel up the road just a bit from the ocean. Great little courtyard with a pool and complimentary tea/coffee. Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff.
I stayed for an over night in the hotel. The hotel is somehow close to the airport, however it's far from the activities in Neama Bay but somehow close to Soho Square, so location isn't the best. The rooms are spacious and clean, yet somehow dated; the lock of the room needed to be maintained. Beds are not comfortable at all. The private beach is fine, the pool is good...
Warmly welcome check in. Super friendly and helpful manager and staff always with a big smile, felt like an old friend or family. Hotel room was okey , big bed comfy with sheets. Seaview is amazing and the pool view , really quiet no disturbing noises. English channel tv. Ac did the job. Hotel organize diving also really good price better than other dive centers. Break...

Only great things to say about Dahab Paradise. Wonderful rooms with comfortable beds and nice balconies. The staff were superbly helpful with booking and arranging trips to blue lagoon, snorkelling/diving, as well as Mount Sinai/St Catherine hike and taxis to restaurants and the airport. Food was also consistently good with tasty drinks and shisha too.
this was not a pleasent hotel, the staff was not serviceminded, the rooms was not at all clean, and we had to ask them for each day, if we want cleaning, and even then they did not come..the roofbalcony was a mess,nothing was cosy, and the breakfast and coffe was not good!! It was low season and very few guest's so I can not understand why the administration in the hot...
The room had an awful smell, the ceiling was leaking water and there was no TV, fridge nor hotwater
The staff are terrible and very racist and they have no manners in hospitality what so ever I don’t recommend it at all

Hotel Sol Y Mar Sea Star is a really good hotel.The room was beautiful, with a small seating area and balcon overlooking one of the two swimming pools. One pool is a 'quiet' pool, with no music or bar and the other is more lively, with a bit of music and a bar pool.

The hotel is dated but maintains a good standard. Staff are outstanding in all depts. you can walk through to the crossing for Elat. The food was some of the best we had in Egypt. I would definitely go back and I would recommend this hotel to my friends.
We had a great stay here, the breakfast buffet is amazing. Staff are friendly and helpfull. One thing to complain about is the internet. It is not free for guests. There is free internet on the square in front of the hotel, but not on the inside. A strange thing, the hotel is expensive and i consider it standard that internet is complementary for all guests.

Pros: location, the view from the hotel of the Naama Bay is beautiful. The rooms and spacious and clean. Breakfast is good as well.

Perfect service and excellent staff. We enjoyed the stay in this hotel much. The hotel area and the private beach was clean. Positive is the close proximity to the Old Market of Sharm-El-Sheikh, not more than 2 minutes walk. Would definitely recommend.
I had a wonderful stay at the Hotel. Food is awesome and most importantly i never received such special treatment from many of hotels that i have stayed, but Royal Savoy is the exception. the reception staff, Samuel, Michael, Eva and another Lady really did a great job.

Unforgettable Reasons to Explore Janub Sina
Janub Sina is a treasure trove of attractions that make it an unmissable destination for travelers. One of the standout features is its stunning coastline, which boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Egypt. From the lively atmosphere of Taba Heights Beach to the serene shores of Nuweiba Beach, there's a perfect spot for every beach lover. The crystal-clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and diving, allowing you to witness the breathtaking underwater world that lies beneath the surface.
In addition to its pristine beaches, Janub Sina is home to remarkable historical landmarks. A visit to St. Catherine's Monastery is essential for anyone interested in history and spirituality. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world and offers a glimpse into the rich religious heritage of the region.

Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, the diverse experiences available in Janub Sina make it a destination that caters to every traveler's desires.
When to Experience the Magic of Janub Sina
The best time to visit Janub Sina largely depends on your preferences for weather and activities. Generally, the ideal months for a trip are from October to April, when the temperatures are mild and pleasant. During this period, you can enjoy outdoor activities without the sweltering heat that characterizes the summer months. The pleasant climate allows for comfortable exploration of the region's natural wonders, historical sites, and vibrant markets.
For those interested in experiencing local culture, plan your visit around significant events and festivals. The Sinai Peninsula hosts various celebrations throughout the year, showcasing traditional music, dance, and cuisine. These events provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and connect with the community. Additionally, visiting during the cooler months means you can partake in activities such as hiking and desert safaris without the discomfort of extreme heat.
Keep in mind that peak tourist seasons can lead to crowded attractions and higher accommodation prices. To avoid the hustle and bustle, consider traveling during the shoulder seasons, such as late spring or early autumn. This way, you can enjoy a more tranquil experience while still taking advantage of the region's beauty and charm.
Insider Travel Tips for Janub Sina Adventures
When exploring Janub Sina, being aware of local customs and practices can enhance your travel experience. Embrace the friendly nature of the locals and greet them with a smile; a simple "salam" (hello) can go a long way in establishing rapport. Respect for local traditions is paramount, especially when visiting religious sites. Dress modestly, particularly in areas like St. Catherine's Monastery, where appropriate attire is expected.
Safety is another important aspect to consider while enjoying your adventures in Janub Sina. While the region is generally safe for tourists, it's wise to stay aware of your surroundings and avoid wandering alone in unfamiliar areas after dark. Opt for guided tours when exploring more remote locations, as this ensures a safer and more enriching experience. Additionally, always carry a copy of your passport and any necessary travel documents, just in case.
Lastly, make sure to stay hydrated, especially during outdoor activities. The desert climate can be deceiving, and it's easy to overlook the importance of drinking water while engrossed in the beauty around you. Pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun's rays, and be prepared for temperature changes, particularly if you're venturing into the mountains. With these tips in mind, you're ready to embark on a memorable journey through Janub Sina.
