Coral Sea Holiday Resort and Aqua Park

Absolutely brilliant hotel, friendly staff and food to satisfy any taste The guys are all amazing but the best and funniest has to be Ahmed the lifeguard who had us in stitches everyday.. just lovely. Clean and safe for the kids but also, Egypt the people, they want us to visit.. simply the best.

Feel a bit sad writing this review as it's our third stay, however standards have definitely slipped at this hotel. Firstly the house cleaning is now sub-standard. Have lost count of the number of times we have had to phone reception as there have been no clean towels left in the room, on occasions there have been no towels left at all (3 times). The pool towels are never changed and even when we asked to change them we found out they had just folded up the old ones. The cleaner has never even mopped the floor. Gone are the days of the towel art etc it's just like they cannot be bothered at all. The pools are freezing, this time last year the they were heated, they are now colder than the sea as cold water is still being pumped in to them. There's visibly less staff around, and witnessing more agitated guests as drink orders are forgotten , rooms not being cleaned etc. Entertainment wise this is very poor with nothing worth speaking about as night time entertainment, not even any effort given to Halloween for the kids, when the three hotels adjoining us are audibly partying into the night. I can say the gardeners and the bell boys are the only ones who seem to be keeping up high standards but even the gardeners seemed to be short staffed which is a shame. Overall it feels like an hotel that's closing down for the season and is becoming increasingly tired and rundown as our 2 week holiday runs to a close. Even in the restaurant the food is becoming more limited as demonstrated by the pasta station where there is now no spaghetti or cheese available, stock is obviously not being replenished. The pools are not cleaned daily like they used to be , at the beginning there was all leaves in the vents , unfortunately we won't be returning which is sad as this is our third time back here

Counting down the days until we return to this beautiful hotel and country. This will be our 7th time staying at this coral sea holiday resort, but our 17th time going to Egypt. Fantastic place and very welcoming and friendly staff. See you on 24th of November :) Regards Sandra & Dave

It’s long!… We chose this hotel from the great reviews it had, and glad we did! It was our first visit to Eygpt, and it didn’t disappoint! We found the Egyptian people to be some of the most welcoming and kind natured people we have come across. The staff at this hotel work tirelessly to give us a fab holiday, all the waiters were amazing, especially Michell , he was so caring when I got the dreaded gippy tum, he recommended an eygptian natural remedy of anise tea which really helped, he asked me every day how I felt, he is the kindest man, and Ahmed the waiter was very close behind tbh, he was the same, really lovely fellas Tarek the lifeguard too , he’s lovely! He used to move our sunbeds into the sun for us and make pillows from towels! Him and my husband got on like a house on fire ! Ibrahim also deserves a mention as he was our housekeeper and did a wonderful job, he’s a sweet quiet man and also so kind! Food, was ok, in fairness there’s loads of choice, but it’s not amazing , I did also get the dreaded tummy thing while at the hotel on 2nd day which meant we didn’t venture out properly. Stone grill is worth trying even tho you have to pay, the steak you cook yourself on the hot stone in front of you , it’s lovely steak ! That meal was delicious! Entertainment was by the HV staff and was amazing!! The voices of Milly, Georgia G and Reece was something else! And the dancing was so good by all of the hv staff, they really got everyone involved ! We tip well, and didn’t ever get asked to tip or made to feel like we should, these people work hard to give a holiday of relaxation and likely get paid quite low , we found a lot of people think once they paid their all incl why should they pay a penny more , that’s not right, a tip makes these people’s day! And changing up their coins is because they can’t change coins in their banks so they are useless tips to them. Be nice people !! I also can’t say I came across one member of staff that was at all rude like some reviews say? Maybe it’s the way you treat them and look at yourself first ?! From the main reception desk to the lifeguards, the waiters and the cleaners, all were lovely and friendly and always had a smile ! Swimming pools are cold ! Probs could do with being heated from 1st October , couldn’t use the swim up we paid for due to this Sea was no good for snorkelling as the pier is not long enough , but we did see a few pufferfish and a lion fish We had room 7101 which was nice and central , has the family divider and swim up , room was really nice, and huge! Only downside is we had a family constantly traipse over our private garden part which was really irritating so could do with signs saying don’t walk over others gardens and to use front door like you should ! Bobby the camel is lovely, and as his handler says , he doesn’t bite after you pay to ride him 🤣! All in all yep we would come back, in fact we are next October !

Arrived at 11.30 pm was checked in really fast and took to our room. The accommodation was really nice. We were impressed. We went to restaurant which had been kept open to 1am for people arriving. Food was really great for 12am in morning compared to what we had last year in hurgarda. We used the main restaurant for breakfast lunch and some dinners. The food was of a high standard lots to choose from. No one could say there was nothing to eat. Variety was really great. We used American dinner 3 times the food here was amazing. The staff were friendly laughing and joking with you. The diner was set out really nice. Atmosphere was brilliant. We also used aisen BAMBOO restaurant twice again great food great atmosphere and great friendly staff. We used Greek taverna to. Great food servings very large. great staff great atmosphere. Indian restaurant great food a bit hot for me though We used the quiet pool it was lovely and clean water was cold though. We had life guards to. when we arrived at the pool life guards came over took your towel and sorted your bed out for you. We also had a very friendly waiter. He must of walked loads of miles every day. Bringing drinks for us and all pool users. Cocktail bar was a bit noisy with children running around. So we used the terrace at the front of hotel. People watching. We never used the beach. Tide was out every time we went. And sunbeds were quite a distance away from sea. We had a great holiday. And if I return to Egypt I will consider going back to coral sea holiday village

Just got round to writing my review after another brilliant holiday at Coral sea resort/Holiday village.We returned on 10th October this is a hotel that just keeps on giving. We have been coming back time and time again, and we are always surprised to find something new,this time the food court was open. One thing I really like is the fact that the American diner,Sari and Bamboo are all on ground level making access much easier.The hotel is as always just brilliant the rooms are large and kept immaculately clean,we were looked after by Zaher who is a great asset to.the hotel. Regarding the food is great in all the restaurants sometimes we were spoiled for choice.All the staff will go the extra mile to make sure you have a great holiday.Round and about the hotel the pools are kept immaculate with the pool guys kept us very well hydrated. So all in all from check in to check out it was certainly a great holiday and well recommended.
