“Terrific time at the melia,Sharm el sheikh”

Melia Sinai

Jul 26, 2008
2/4 found this review helpful

My daughter (12)and I booked a late deal to sharm el sheikh.We stayed at the Melia Sinai resort.Its rated as a 5 star hotel but to us it was more of a 4 star.The rooms were roomy and very clean,the amenities all were great except for the "so called" entertainment programme was virtually none existant and when it was ,it was of very poor quality ,you almost felt sorry for them.The staff were great and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.The food was average and varied.The staff at the Dive centre were also very helpful and informative.As this was my first experience at snorkling and diving this was vital to me .The only draw back to this place,was the location.If you needed to go anywhere you had to get a taxi.it was rather remote.So if you are the type of person who enjoys shopping and bargaining then this isnt the place for you.The staff at the health club all very experienced.If you fancy an Egyptian massage ask for a young lady by the name of DOODOO......she was amazing!.for certain will go again and stay at the same hotel.all in all a brill holiday.

“best holiday i have had”

Melia Sinai

2/3 found this review helpful

This is my first visit to egypt and i will definately be going back. I went with my partner, my daughter and my son. The hotel was brill, the resort was brill, the weather was brill and the trips were great. I cant fault anything.
We were delayed for 12 hours going out but once we were there we had a great time.
We did 3 trips - snorkelling, glass water boat and aqua park.
All three were first class.
The service in the hotel was also first class.
Cant wait to go back.

“Perfect Hotel, surroundings, weather and staff!!”

4/5 found this review helpful

Well where do I start really??? Just returned from the Melia Sinai Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh after 2 weeks and cannot compliment and sing its praises enough. I travelled with my girlfriend and we didnt want to come home. After years going to Ibiza, Malia and Agia Napa I fancied a nice relaxing holiday and this is exactly what I got. From the moment we arrived at the hotel at 11 in the evening, we was greeted by everyone from the bar staff to the security guards on the main gate. They were all very polite and extremely helpful. I could write pages and pages about how much I enjoyed this hotel but I wont. I've not got enough time really but I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone. Fair enough the bars arent packed solid and lively but a holiday is what you make it. People should be able to make their enjoy entertainment. Myself and my girlfriend were more than happy having a meal in the evening and then just unwinding down by the various bars. All of the bar staff are extremely friendly and humourous. Whilst I was there though, not one member of staff indicated to us that they would like a tip from us, not the cleaners, not the lifeguards, the waiters or bar men - we tipped when we wanted to and even if we didnt we still got the same excellent service and attention. Treat people how you want to be treated I say.

The hotel itself is immaculately clean and the staff are working non stop all day everyday. I didnt see one piece of litter around the hotel at all. As for the food, I'm a really fussy eater but I always managed to get myself enough food at every meal time. Fair enough some foods were repeated now and again but that didnt mean I had to eat them, I just chose something else. There was always something different to eat whether it be a salad, a bowl of pasta or BBQ'd food - I was never left hungry. The restaurant waiter service was excellent from breakfast through to the evening. Some of the staff deserve medals working 14 hours shifts and still walking around with a permanent smile on there faces!!!

We met some really nice people at this hotel who also sung its praises and have returned on more than one occasion.

I shall definately return to this hotel at some point in the future, I was really sad to leave the hotel and that was my only complaint - having to come home when I did!!

It was definately the best holiday I've been on, I would also recommend to anyone a trip to the Pyramids & Sphinx in Cairo. We had a very enjoyable day and one that will not be forgotten!!

“A Fantastic Holiday Experience”

Melia Sinai

Jul 18, 2008
4/5 found this review helpful

This holiday was absolutely brilliant =D. we got picked up from the airport exactly on time and had help with our bags aswell. Once we reached the hotel my mum, sister and i got 100% magnificent service, with people friendly staff showing us our way around the hotel and giving us tips on what to do and where to go.

The rooms are amazing with spectacular views. The room i stayed in had a sea view which was relaxing to look at. They were very clean with good, working, powerful air conditioning, which did make a noise now and again, but you get used to it. =) and the bathroom was all good aswell. We had a television which worked perfectfully well and our room would be cleaned spotlessly, with lilttle animals made out of towels.

We went on all inclusive, adn the food was delicious. Eventhough i am a vegetarian, there was a wide range of foods to choose from, from different cultures. Mouth-watering deserts were layed across the tables, with salads to choose from, and fresh pasta being made right infront of your eyes. Even at the bars, we got served crisps and nuts.

The staff are unbelievably friendly!! => They were helpfull and liked to have a laugh with us, makin sure we were having a good time. There was an animation group, who is a group of staff who enetertain us 24/7, always putting a smile on our faces. It was dissapointing to hear that we couldn't go to the sea by walking in, but we had to walk across a jitty and jump in. It looked scary at first, but when i did it it was such a beautiful place to be when you snorkell seeing millions of different colourful fishes. It was like a different world. I was not a snorkeller myself and never have been snorkelling, but when i went in i was so glad i did. If you do not know how to snorkel, they will teach you, and even give you lessons how to speak arabic! In the morning when you go down to the pools you can do water aerobics and many more. There are soooo many pools to chose from.

There is internet acces, gift shops and shuttle bues taking you to different place like Naama Bay and Old Market, which are places where you would deffinately enjoy yourself. They drop you and pick you up on time which is good =D.

Overall, it was one of the best hotels i have ever stayed at and rasther than 5* i think it shoulkd be 6*. I will never forget how amazing this holiday was, as the hotel was excellent.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Where it was situated, in a nice calm place on the beahc, which is not too far away from the Naama Bay and Old Market.
    • Disliked — When your room is too far, as you have to walk up and down the stairs to much, and then a good 10minute walk all the way to the reception area where the reataraunt and pools are, leading the way to the beach.

“Loved the Hotel and the Diving is good too”

An excellent hotel with superb views and brillient snorkelling and diving. There is also a dive centre at the hotel.
Travelled from Manchester on Thomson flight only, got a transfer with Alibabas Comfort Cars(English lady)great service and very reasonable prices. We booked Bed & Breakfast and used Alison to take us to Naama Bay most nights,plenty of restaurants to choose from and very cheap to eat out, all the big names are there.The hotel will charge you £20.00 for a taxi so be carefull!
As far as the hotel goes, it was very clean, breakfast was excellent, plenty of swimming pools, private beach, if you wanted lunch you could get burgers,pizza etc.
As most guests were on All Inclusive, people were not too happy and said the food was repetative .
You can purchase water and beers at a fraction of the price in Naama Bay and if you go there, be prepared to be hassled, but it is all part of the fun,say NO and they will leave you alone.
You may get Pharoes Revenge(tummy bug)don't blame the hotel as it is in the air some get it some don't,buy your remedies there as English brands do not work and you will just waste your money and end up buying them in the Pharmacy in Sharm or Naama Bay.
Mainley Italians when on vacation can be loud but OK. The Russians tend to go September onwards,other than that great holiday would go back again to the hotel.
