Coral Sun Beach is the best location in Egypt that I have stayed at so far. What I liked: My room was clean and spacious, lots of power sockets (make sure you take the right, round pinned power adaptors), rooms are cleaned daily, free 2 litre water bottle daily, a kettle and fridge were in my room. The shower was great, the toiletries pleasant and the bidet worked great. I stayed all inclusive...free food, free drinks. The menu changes daily. On the whole, the food is delicious...best kofta in Egypt (so far)...good options for vegetarians too. The attention to hygiene in the restaurant was of a high standard. The cleanliness in the whole resort was of a high standard. When staff were on duty and carrying out their tasks, very few people were using mobile phones. I liked this because if you're head is buried in your mobile phone, you can't be aware of what is going on around you and you can't adequately look after your guests. I also liked that guests with disabilities received extra care and support. The reefs in the area are awesome, they're free to snorkel in and the marine life is diverse with some BIG shoals. There is guided snorkeling and a dive company on site for enthusiasts. There is also a diverse range of birldlife on site, including resident Kestrel and Osprey. You might also see the Hummingbird Moth which I saw. I didn't feel the need to leave the site. Videos of the site will be available soon on YouTube: @wolfphotographyvideos.

The WiFi isn't free and problematic...you can't always get a connection in your room (not good if you're staying there on a business trip and need to focus on work). Few rooms have access to WiFi, main access is in the reception area. All drinks are served by the glass...unless you're paying for drinks. Sometimes the beer will be a bit flat, as a bottle will stay unopened until dispensed. Given that it's a cheap local beer (which still tasted good to me), they need to just hand over the bottle to the guest). The hotel ride to the airport is $40 or €40...I can't remember which. I booked a ride back from booking.com for about $25.

The facility had many different 'wings" so you can request options to be by the pool and action or off on the side in quieter areas. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The dive center is a minute walk in the sister resort making it very easy to plan and schedule dives. We had a late evening flight and were able to store our bags during the last day and then they provided us access to a shower before we left for the airport. We were one of the very few non-German guests, but that was not a problem at all. We loved our time there and wish we could have spent a few more days.

You had to learn how to navigate the food. We are very adventurist and love a lot of different things. Some of the food was excellent, while other things were just ok. A lot of things tasted the same. But all in all, we learned very quickly how to search out what we knew we liked.

- awesome reef for snorkeling and diving - nice sea view, calm area and sandy beach - comfortable beds and clean rooms - tasty traditional oriental dinner (2x/week) - quick response to my email requests

- Booking.com didn’t specify total price after Taxes in the confirmation and receptionists didn’t speak well English - annoying sellers/waiters and boring entertainment program (from 10 years ago) - food was almost every day the same and sometimes even inedible (raw, underdone, over-salted, fake) - TV had only few watchable channels - no specific swimming instruction (tourists don’t know they aren’t allowed to swim in marked places)

The hotel is on a beautiful beach, lots of sunloungers, superb snorkeling. We stayed in a deluxe room which had been recently renovated. Was just like the photos and had a very large balcony. Food was excellent for a hotel buffet. Extremely clean hotel. Very helpful staff. Very quiet hotel , no loud music by the pool.

Essentiel to be able to climb some stairs to restaurant.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, starting with the friendly welcome from the reception staff, especially Tantawi, and of course from Mr. Peter Aziz, the reception manager, who stayed with us until he saw that we were all content and feeling at home in our rooms as a group. Additionally, once he know that I am a vegetarian, he quickly informed the restaurant, and the main Chief there welcomed me with special dishes every day. Of course, I will return to such a cosy and peaceful place. There is a trampoline, a bilrardo table, a Bing bong table, and daily animation. I want to thank the animation team in particular for Mohamed Emad and Mahmoud since they were incredibly kind, energetic, and interested in the guests. In general, I'd want to thank the whole staff for their tolerance, compassion, and professionalism

The location is a little out of the way, the mobile coverage is not great, and I believe the food quality might be higher.

everything was very good , the room was so clean and spacious, i loved it. the beach is great , u can find the beautiful coral reef if u want to snorkel.. and there are also some areas that you can access the water from the beach to have a nice swim. the staff is super friendly, the facilities are good , it's a small cozy relaxing resort.

the food isn't great , but you will definitely find something you like to eat .. the breakfast is the best. and i can't complain bec it's just convenient considering the price .

Sandy beach - clear sea water - all rooms are sea view - short walk to each place

You can rate the food as good not very good

Spacious dining area; short walk to the beach; long sandy beach for walk and swimming; snorkelling

wi-fi (2 Euros per hour) in the reception area only

breakfast was good lots of choice,but much of the same,lots of cheese and meats .eggs cooked to order,staff excellent.as always of course we will be back.

food only warm, never hot,

Very nice house reef on both sides of the bay. Further out the better. But also interesting close in for the less adventurous. Nextdoor is the orca diving. You can rent and head out. Small feeling resort not a mega resort. Nothing else around.
