DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh-Sharks Bay Resort

A wonderful, huge hotel in close proximity to the airport. The hotel is divided into two parts and there is a bus to take you from one to the other. One area with swimming pools, the second with access to the sea. The food at the hotel is amazing. A wide variety of breakfasts for every taste and this also says a lot about the hotel. There is children's animation, a children's room, and adult animation greets us every evening with different thematic stands, which adds brightness to the hotel. But don’t think that you will be bored in the morning, the animation will not allow this to happen. For a great active holiday, definitely come to this hotel!

Reception Both arrivals and departure super efficient and a late check out was made available at no extra cost. Room. Really good. Usual stuff, large king bed, air con, large bathroom with separate shower and bath. Plenty of storage and digital safe. Mini fridge, large TV limited channels, hair dryer. Patio doors lead to small grass garden, then path straight to swimming pool. Food All inclusive 3 meals per day and snacks by the pool. Huge variety to choose from at all times. Salad, pastries, hot buffet, soup, omelette and egg station morning and pasta on the evening. Lots of desserts too, but strange such as apple crumble but no custard or ice cream? Range of coffees from machine on morning. Little bar for alcohol and cola. Fresh fruit too. In summary plenty for everyone except bacon lovers. Pool Wow. Huge and nearly every room has a pool view. It looks like one huge pool but is 3 separate ones. There are 2 bars serving drinks and the wave bar has good from 3pm.... And ice cream. There are 2 rock formations with slides but both were roped off while I was there. But, at the far pool there are 3 water slides. Plenty of sun beds and parasols always available. For those with small children each pool has a roped off shallow section, watched over by lifeguards. General Please note that the hotel is split in 2 divided by a road. I stayed in the inland area. The beach side part was under renovation and looked the better side to be however... Beach Absolute pants! It's about 10m wide and a mix of sand and shale/shells. Visited once, the water is crystal clear. Walked about 2m out and could see fish easily in knee deep water. After 5 minutes a guy from the water sports based there started shouting at us to get out because it was dangerous. Yet their snorkeling guests were happily swimming a further 20m out! If you're going for the red sea experience, choose a hotel with a better beach. Locally String of shops nearby and the large shopping center of Soho square is walkable too. Summary This was a cheap relaxing break. It was exactly that. Only spend was on tips (pound coins) and crisps and souvenirs from the hotel shop. £55 in a week. Great rooms, good choice of food, great pool and sunshine! Would go again.

We absolutely loved our stay here from the end of February until the beginning of March 2024. The grounds are lovely, the staff are fantastic and the weather was just right. The cleaner was amazing. 5 minutes walk to Soho Square We would definitely return. Thank you 😊

Single beds were queen size and very comfortable. Toiletries and towels were replenished daily. Room was cleaned daily. Shout out to Muhammad for our daily towel surprises which got more elaborate everyday. Reception staff were always at hand professional and a valuable source of information. The shuttle bus and golf buggies were an added advantage to get you to and from the beach or spa. We had a regular golf buggy driver. I'm sorry I can't remember his name but he was excellent. The beach bar service was exceptional. There's limited access to the water from the beach due to protecting the coral but the sea can be accessed from the pier which has a lifeguard present at all times during the day. Snorkeling is good from the pier due to the protection of the coral. Finally a big thank you to Ahmed for making our holiday special he was our Captain in the restaurant his attentive service and humour was exceptional throughout our stay. The buffet food catered for all tastes and was of a high standard. Exceptional holiday was had by all due to the high standards of this hotel and all of its staff including the chefs and all of the bar staff.

Good value hotel but a bit of a mixed bag. First the good stuff - pool, rooms (if a little tired), location, WiFi quality and cleaning / restaurant / lobby staff. The negatives are the entertainment - incredibly repetitive in the evening and food area - when it's busy your seats and cutlery go missing. The restaurant simply isn't built to cater for large numbers of guests. Overall its a solid option for a relaxing time in guaranteed sun but it comes with compromises.
