Coral Sea Holiday Resort & Aqua Park

Buffet and aqua park

Insect and mosquitoes

he hotel was very clean – pools, rooms, and the whole area were well maintained. The food was relatively varied and of good quality, and the sea was beautiful and clean.However, a big issue came up if you are traveling with a child and you are not from the UK. A company called Holiday Village controls almost all the entertainment, sports activities, and the kids’ club. If you are a UK guest, this hotel is absolutely amazing, but if not, it can become a nightmare for you and your child.Guests are given different wristbands – UK guests get a blue one, most other Europeans get black, and Arab guests get white. Since we had the black wristband, my 7-year-old son,because Normally he doesn't speak English well,was not allowed to join the kids’ club, entertainment, or even activities like football. Even when several children from outside Holiday Village wanted to play football in the evening, the staff would literally turn off the lights on the field. Only after strong insistence from parents and kids did they allow them to play for one hour on one night. This kind of separation between children is very hard to accept and really disappointing.Apart from that, everything else was as expected from a 5-star Egyptian resort. Alcoholic drinks were very limited and cannot be compared to Antalya hotels, but the reception staff specially a nightshade guy named Mahmood,help us a lot to experience a nice welcome to this hotel.housekeeping also were polite, friendly, and did their best.

Friendly StaffNice LocationVariety of FoodVery Good QualityCooperators Staff

This was my first time staying at this resort, and it definitely won’t be the last I will be coming back many more times. Everything was excellent starting from the moment we entered the lobby, where we were warmly welcomed with beautiful smiles and a smooth, professional check-in process.I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Mahmoud El-Gohary for his warm welcome and professional attitude. I also want to thank Mr. Ali, as well as Mahmoud Shaaban, Taha, Ahmed, and Diaa at the restaurant. I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone, as every single staff member was exceptionally friendly and welcoming.The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and of high quality. The rooms were great, the furniture was in good condition, and I’d like to thank Mohamed, who was responsible for housekeeping.As for the swimming pools, they were extremely clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The water activities and entertainment were fantastic—my children truly enjoyed them! A big thank you to Abdelhamid at the Aqua Park.All the staff members were very kind and treated everyone equally, regardless of nationality. They always had a smile on their faces and were quick to help with anything we needed.Thank you, Coral Sea Resort, for bringing joy and smiles to my whole family. We will definitely be returning again.

The staff is welcoming and really cares about satisfaction of guests, food variety is great , food and beverages served almost all day.beach is very good.All public areas are clean , rooms are super clean as well

Changing towels wether room or beach towels , takes sometime , you have to plan it ahead

The restaurant staff was friendly and clean amazing people

The animation team was quite racist against any non English guest , there was 4 big animation girls , they ignored my son completely and they asked if he can speak fluent English and they said if he can’t so he can’t join the pool games !!! May be it’s good for English guests but if you are Italian or Russian this is not your hotel and better to find another place that you will be treated equally . Specially if you hav kids because they will completely ignore them .

Excellent staff property and locationEverything was great makes my stay memorable

The food in the main restaurant needs to be improved for the variety and quality of food

perfect stay! i definitely recommend for families! The hotel is super clean, rooms are spacious, the greenery around the hotel is impressive. Great location! all inclusive formula is really good, the food is fresh and super tasty! Wonderfull and helpful staff! we had a great time there!

The food was very good with a very good selection. The pools were nice, friendly and attentive staff and the sea had a beautiful view. We would definitely go again.

We visited this hotel last year - 2024 - and had nothing but good things to say. So much so, we extended our trip an extra week while at the property. Unfortunately, in 2025, things have taken a sharp downturn. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s a ‘Holiday Village’ during our stay, when previously it wasn’t, or it’s something else.What we liked:- Swim-up room is super convenient- Grounds/nature in the hotel complex is beautiful and well keptWhat we didn’t like:- Variety and quality of food were really bad - including a bout of acute gastroenteritis for one of us. Really bland and repetitive menu, suited to maybe a teenager’s palate. Very limited options for vegetarians and especially vegans. Unless you love soya kofta.- Animation/entertainment is VERY kid-focused. The previous year included interesting performers like singers, saxophonists, guitarists, etc. This year, just violin playing the same 5 songs every night for 30 mins. Other than that, if you’re a couple without a kid, you’ll be bored out of your mind come evening time.- Cleaning staff were kinda pushy about giving tips, even when we had literally just arrived. The tips also don’t give you anything more than standard room cleaning - if you’re expecting those cool towel designs or flowers, you’ll be dissatisfied.- Nor applicable for all - but we had a free airport transfer by Booking, and the driver was doing 160kph into roundabouts. All the taxi’s in SSH are a gamble, but this one in particular was straight up scary. Dude even hit a curb at 90kph while he was busy texting and driving with one hand and looking at his phone. If you value your life, maybe walk :D- A different point is about the clinic. If you do get sick, try and get to a local clinic if you can and avoid the one in the complex. The staff are amazing there, my thanks to Ahmed and Mustafa, but the cost is insane comparatively.

Waiters

We had flight at midnight, we requested to extent our check in but they couldnt find available room in 62k m2 hotel :) and we had to wait 10 hours at lobby . It was our second time at that hotel we also brought friends this time but thanks it was our last time now.

Nice size rooms , very efficient check in and out, super friendly staff everywhere . Very good food.

It was difficult that we were not allowed to eat at the restaurant on the Aqua park side , making it a long walk to get to lunch. We were also having to purchase drinks in the Aqua park side, as we were told alcohol is not included on the other side of the road.

Exceptional Service, Great location and very clean and tidy hotel and grounds. Lovely food plus great choice of a la carte restaurants.

Staff are so friendly and helpful especially when you have young children. Hotel is so clean including the pool toilets. Always fun activities by the pool and kids club in evening. Small splash pool in hotel and main one oposite. Plenty of sunbeds, ice cream and popcorn available poolside, drinks bought over to you On the sunbeds. House keeping are excellent always cleaning the room, clean beach towels and making displays with towels on the bed for my young child. There are always many options for food, including different restaurants you can book into.

How near it was to the beach and the buggy’s that could take you there people with disabilities walking showers

Staff not speaking English are understanding English some of the staff at reception not help full

Clean , comfortable, staff very friendly and helpful.

Booked and paid extra for a swim up room that could not be used

This is an amazing place, everyone is very kind, helpful and really professional. They made our Holiday an unforgettable experience. I spent a week with my family here, which was their first time but for sure not the last. In my opinion the service here is superior to any other hotels in whole Sharm El Sheikh! The food in the restaurants was excellent, tasty and various, very delicious. Me and my Mom, we have many food intollerances and this was no problem at all, they took care in the restaurant for everything, very carefully. We are more than grateful that we could enjoy this beautiful environment and taste the specialities without being worried of anything. The rooms are spacious and the bed is extremly comfortable. They took care of the cleaning, to have enough water always and less mosquitos possible. At the reception they were more than helpful by providing information, giving us advices, recommend programs or sharing their opinions about a trip or service in the city and off course they solved everything for us immediately. If you would like to spend your Holiday as a Queen and King it is a must to visit this place. Highly recommended! We would like to thank everything for the whole Staff. ?Special thanks for Mr. Hussein and Mr. Hassan for their professionality, patience and kindness. We will go back for sure❣️?

The only problem was that we couldn't stay longer. ?

pool is amazingfood is amazinglocation is the best

no reef for snorkeling

Generally the staff were great. The room cleaner would provide us with additional towels or anything else that we needed. Pool staff were friendly. Restaurant staff made a great effort with the children on the holiday. Food in the restaurants was great. Water park was really fun - lots of slides for kids and adults, plus the wave pool was great.

Our only issue was the restaurant situation for dinners. It was not explained to us during check-in, but you are only permitted to eat in the restaurants on 3 occasions for dinner (per week). The manager was adamant this would have been explained when we checked in. This was not the case. On the final night we wanted to eat in a restaurant (rather than the buffet) and were informed we had already met our quota for number of visits. They told me we are allowed 4 visits per week - I said we had only gone there 3 times. They then looked at our booking and said because we booked with booking.com (rather than TUI) we are only entitled to eat there 3 times, not 4. Really unfortunate booking.com have less visits to the restaurants than other companies, and that no one explained this on check in (and it isn't mentioned on booking.com website!). The manager could have surely been lenient and let us attend the restaurant given we did not know about the rule, but he didn't so we were disappointed by this. They remained adamant about it, so in the end we had to pay to eat in the restaurant. This did spoil our final night.

the quality ? of food and drinks ? ? suitable small aqua park at the hotel and another large one at the behind hotel no.2the reception men reachable and faster helping

the animation team was very poor and especially for British guests and also some of the facilities and activities for British guests only .the sea is suitable for kids but needs to long the bridge to see the reefs and make good snorkeling .
