You NEED to visit Holiday Villages Red Sea/Coral Sea Holiday Resort! We visited as an English couple for 10 days (neither been to Egypt before) and couldn’t have had a better holiday. Area: 10 minutes from Sharm airport, huge resort with private beach, close by; shops, pharmacy’s, bars and restaurants and all security controlled. Airport is very ott with checks/scanners/security, so be ready for that. Food & drinks: buffet; so much food, lots of variety for breakfast, lunch a dinner, all cooked well and all cuisines/themed nights. Themed restaurants; Greek, Indian, Chinese etc which we tried which were lovely! Local alcohol is pretty good (cocktails, beers, spirits, etc) & lots of soft drinks available (juices, slushy’s, coke, sprite, iced coffees, etc), all ice is made from bottled water and bottled water is available in all bars. We ate lots of salad and fruit also which was well prepared and neither of us got the typical ‘Egyptian tummy’. Rooms: we had a standard room which had all you needed and was very spacious. Lovely patio as we were on the ground floor, mini fridge and a safe which is free to use. Room was cleaned and made up everyday, bottles of water left, and the cleaners made animals out of towels etc which were brilliant! Resort: massive resort which is beautiful! Clean, tidy and kept to a high standard by the gardening, maintenance and cleaning teams. Entertainment/activities/pool: so much to do. 1 massive main pool with activities throughout the day and one smaller quiet pool located at the other end of the resort. No need to get up at 5am to reserve sunbeds. Entertainment & activities every day (football, swimming, diving, kids club, quizzes, water polo) and night (singing, dancing, bingo, magicians, etc) which tui reps put on. Excursions man across the road from the resort for all outside the hotel. Staff/service: every single member of staff were phenomenal! Polite, friendly, accommodating, caring, helpful and the majority spoke good English. You were always greeted wherever you went on campus. We took GB£ to spend which everywhere accepts. Staff are very much appreciative of £1 tip but isn’t expected/waited for. We tipped when we wanted to and didn’t feel pressured at all. Take £1 & £2 coins along with £5 & £10 notes for spending. Some staff will ask you to change their coins for notes but this is only because they can’t change coins at their banks. Say no if you don’t want to but they aren’t rude with it all. Only negative is the rooms don’t have full length mirrors in but that’s being very picky and didn’t affect our holiday. All in all, an absolutely fantastic and relaxing stay and we will definitely be returning very soon and in years to come! Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so wonderful❤️
