After a week at the Ramada Resort there are some pros and cons. The room was fine but the balcony was only 2ft wide. The room was in a bad location as it was above the indoor bar/lobby area which was full every night and very noisy. There was no chance of getting to sleep before 1am and on one particular night it sounded like a fight broke out where shouting and screaming was going on til almost 3am. The food was OK and you wouldn't go hungry and the staff were lovely and really friendly. It was a little out of the way location wise but the No 5 bus from outside the hotel will take you into Side itself and the Old Town/harbour area is worth a visit. We used the Spa and had a massage for 5 days which cost us around £250 for 10 sessions so always haggle to try to get the best price. We went in March and although the weather was glorious the pool was absolutely freezing. The Animation Team tried to get everyone involved in activities and were chatty. A mixed bag really but it was mainly the noise and the rowdiness of a few other holiday makers that spoilt it really which is not the hotels fault.

This was a great hotel and great holiday! The room was ok, not super up to date but it was good. The air con was working perfectly, everything worked ! The food was divers and very good , tasty. Everywhere is very clean , in the food court and at the pool area. We were a family of 2 adults and one under 2 year old baby. If you go for the all inclusive , you also get the lunch at the beach bar so you don’t have to go back to the hotel! The ride to the beach was for free and the driver was very nice and pleasant. You can also walk to the beach it is a 10 min walk. Everything was good for a good holiday. There are shops and kids club in the hotel too, everyone is very nice , especially the man who runs a designer outlet ( i cannot remember his name) but he was very nice and accommodating! ! We recommend this hotel !

We stayed for 4 days 16-18 of us large group. On the last day this stay went down hill as the house maid stole money from our bag. we did not use the safe but we should feel comfortable to leave our bags with our belongings and not have to experience this terrible theft. There are no shops only in the hotel you need a car to stay here and the reception staff need to smile (MEN). Housekeeping are lazy did not sweep did not make bed did not replace coffee,, had to ask for shower gel.

Ant infestation in room & in bed, cold water for showers every day, food was awful and staff were unhelpful. Hotel is in the middle of nowhere and basically on a building site. No shops nearby that were open in the evenings either. How it is a 4 start hotel I will never know. Arrived to the hotel around 9pm to be told to sit down, have a drink and wait for our room key whilst everyone else behind us were being given their room key’s straight away. After 30 minutes we got up to go back over to reception to find out what was going on, and was then told to sit down again and wait longer which we refused and again asked for our room keys. We were very hungry at this point so asked about food, to which the member of staff laughed and said soup. I thought he was joking and that they would’ve put on a bit of food for late arriving guests. I was wrong and all they had was ‘night soup’ which wasn’t on until 11:30pm. So we walked down the road around 25 minutes to where there were supposedly some shops, it was all shut up and completely derelict. Came back for the ‘night soup’ which was just watery soup and stale bread. The food in the restaurant just continued to get worse, we lived off chips for the couple of days we were there before deciding to leave early, and we are not fussy eaters. Chicken pieces were purple and undercooked, turkey ‘kebab’ was full of fat and grissle. Very little vegetarian options too. All inclusive drinks were awful as well. When complaining about the ants in the room there was no apology from the staff, just said they will get the cleaner in. No offer of being moved rooms etc. We decided to book a flight home after 3 days as we couldn’t take anymore. Worst holiday we have ever been on, would not recommend to anyone.

Stayed for a week recently from UK for solo trip. Pro’s - Staff are friendly - Hotel is quite nice and rooms are okay (although on the small side) - Pool is nice - Few bars - Food was nice and had a few different options each night Cons - Far from most things we rented a car - Not a lot of alcohol choices - Have to pay for internet (free in the lobby) - There is no night entertainment apart from a little few dances for kids. - Beds are not comfortable - The house keeping never once changed my bed the whole week and when they made the room. I’ll attach a photo of how they left it. - I had to ask reception for the house keeping to refill the fridge - Aircon/hearing wasn’t great and was cold at night - In the evenings everyone has to sit in the reception foyer as there is a very small ‘entertainment’ area. - In the twin room the The headboard is designed for a double bed so where the light and switches is installed it’s just above your pillow making it awkward and can bang your head.

Hotel needed a bit of tlc in places, but was clean enough. Felt like the staff could be increased. Arrived at about 2.30am and after getting to our room, and settled down, there was a fight started in a room close by, which went on until about half 4. Threats being made of throwing someone over the balcony and loud banging, like someone was getting their head smacked against a door! Wasn't given a number to dial for reception when we got checked in and didn't want to leave my son in the room by himself. Asked the desk the next morning if we could change and after a quick look was told they were fully booked, but they will have a word and then said what the number was to call them from the room. Apparently they have security but can't say I ever saw any during our stay. Extra staff would also help with the foul language and constant arguments that occurred at the poolside while kids were wanting to play and families wanting a nice peaceful break. Guess that's what all inclusive is for to, get mortal and start agro because they have a rep to uphold!! Saying that, the food wasn't too bad probably one of the better "all you can eats" with fresh grilled fish most nights, rice, veg, salad, pizza, pasta, chips and loads more. Not much info on what going on out and about and not much in the way of entertainment either, for an all inclusive the activities are limited and take place across the road in the "family friendly" area.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) HSM Canarios Park is a great choice for a family vacation or a relaxing getaway. The hotel offers good facilities, including spacious rooms, a clean pool, and a pleasant garden. The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to meet guests' needs. The location is convenient, with shops and restaurants nearby, and the beach is just a short walk away. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. Although the breakfast is tasty, the variety is somewhat limited and can feel a bit repetitive during longer stays. Additionally, the restaurant can get crowded during peak hours, leading to slower service. Suggestion: It would be great to see more variety in the breakfast options and additional staff in the restaurant during busy times to avoid queues and delays. Overall, HSM Canarios Park offers good value for money and is suitable for a relaxing stay. With a few improvements, it could be even better!😊

Awsome little hotel. Very well maintained! Arrived give us the top floor with views of the pool. Lovely and clean fresh smelling room on arrival. Shower was lovely and water was boiling hot. Small balcony with 2 chairs and table. I think the balcony was small as we was on the corner part of it. 2 socks. Lots lights. A/c. Hair dryer. Free safe! Which is rare! Food was good. Good variety. Lots of fruit, loads of breakfast choice. Food cooked infront of you. Food all fresh. Drinks all good drink machines in the restaurant with good amount of choice again. Staff, well I cant praise them enough!!! Staff and chefs around the restaurant dont stop! Litrally work flat out! Cleaning tables, shifting plates. Worked good 12+ hours straight. I hope they get paid well for what they do! The amount of plates and tables they clean and sort is incredible. Solid workers! Pools are awsome. The ones outside the front of the hotel are brilliant for kids! Life guards also. This place is more for people who have children and dont plan to adventure out much as the 15 min walk to the town. Got everything in the hotel. Wish I took more pictures of the place but we litrally didn't stop exploring the surroundings. We rented a scooter to get about to get the most of our stay but would have loved to stay around the hotel abit more. Our stay went very quickly. Iv read lots of bad reviews on this place. Heard a few story's also. Like last night someone was climbing balconies on the 6th floor covered in blood. Obviously wasn't the hotels fault just get the odd muppets who drink to much! Dont know how often this occurs, hopefully it was a 1 off as the balconies are spread out and high up especially 6th floor!!! Climbed cross 4 balconies! Il try add more later

Good value and nice for a few night stay, music and entertainment in the evening. Had no safe key and they ask for a deposit to have a remote to use your tv There are some reviews on bad food but as a picky eater myself, there was always something to enjoy for breakfast lunch and dinner. Don’t recommend the milkshakes but had some nice cocktails.

Marietta Belgrau

We got a standard double room for 2 adults and 2 children which is fair to say wasn't adequate. Food was not great, out of buffet for every meal there was potentially 2/3 nice items and rest of the food was flavourless and what I can only describe as poor quality, no drink served in the restaurant, just soft drinks. Kids pool was really good and amazing way to spend a day, also the shuttle transfer to the beach was a plus, however any shops were about 25 minute walk away from the hotel and the shop in the hotel has barely anything in it so if you need something (which in our case was formula and nappies) it's some distance. Staff were trying to be helpful, particularly guys in reception, very good!

This is not a five-star hotel, and honestly, I’m not quite sure what rating to give it. I’d say it’s a solid three stars. We stayed here for just one night, mainly because the hotel has a pool — that was our main reason for choosing it. Yes, there are pools, but in reality, only the kids’ pool and one of the general pools are open. The largest and deepest pool is under maintenance — and that’s during the start of the season, which seems like a very odd decision. Especially considering that we were here two months ago, in winter, and everything was working perfectly back then. Now, with only one small general pool available, it gets overcrowded quickly. The atmosphere is not exactly pleasant — it feels cramped and far from relaxing. As for the food — it’s a mixed experience. The snacks are very basic and limited, nothing special. However, dinner and breakfast were actually good: full meals, decent variety, and tasty. One more issue worth mentioning — there were no towels available at the pool. We checked in at 3:30 PM, and by the time we arrived at the pool around 5:40 PM, there were no towels left. It’s a small thing, but it really affects the overall impression. In summary, this hotel might be okay for a short stay if you’re not too demanding and don’t mind some inconveniences. But if you’re looking for comfort and proper service — you might want to consider other options.

We had what is called a "Day Pass " to enjoy the spa and lunch at the hotel. The spa was good, but we did expect better at a 5* hotel . More therapeutic jets around the pool, please. A couple of things we didn't like were the fact that the tiles are quite slippy and it looked like people had glasses of water from the free dispenser, I hope that they were plastic cups that are much safer around a swimming pool. The buffet was enjoyable, and we felt that there was a very good variety of food to choose from. We actually had a good laugh at some of the other diners, especially the man being fed by his partner because he was too busy with his phone and the woman who was filling her pool bag with extras for her time by the main swimming pool.

Spacious rooms, great service, and excellent food We had a lovely stay! The rooms are huge, the staff is very friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. There were plenty of gluten-free and lactose-free options, and both vegans and vegetarians will definitely find something suitable. The beds were very comfortable. The building could use some renovation, but everything is well maintained and clean. The suites are very well equipped — the kitchen area had everything we could possibly need. All in all, a very comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Heather Steele

The staff are amazing, the whole place is clean, but - the rooms are shabby, the 'Piano Bar' is a replica of a Butlins family entertainment bar with no piano in sight. The all inclusive food is ok, but nothing special, the pool bar snack food is dire. And to top it off the main pool is closed as being refurbished, even though it's the start of the season. All in all, this is absolutely not 5*, closer to 3* if I was expecting 3* I would be more than happy

Maria Cronin

Just back from a week here.. ignore bad reviews...this hotel, While a bit dated was lovely. So clean which for me is so important...reception area is beautiful...I had breakfast included and it was gorgeous. Such a choice and all you could wish for..reception staff are really lovely and nothing was too much trouble.. this hotel is really nice if you want to get away from it all..for a restful peaceful holiday..not near any commercial shops.....its a bit isolated that way..irish pub across the road was wonderful too... we did t get great weather for our trip but I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel....thank you all.

Erdi Aksoy

Let’s start with the positives: The food was genuinely good, tasty, varied, and well-prepared. The staff were also kind and helpful, doing their best to make guests feel welcome. And the view from the resort is truly stunning; it’s one of the highlights of the location. Unfortunately, several things really disappointed us. First and foremost, hygiene standards were not up to par. For a resort of this level, we expected much better cleanliness, especially in the rooms and common areas. The elevator situation was honestly terrible. There’s only one, and it’s small, slow, and unreliable. Reaching your room without waiting an eternity or climbing many stairs with kids or bags was a daily struggle. What really made us feel misled, though, was the fact that during our stay, there was some sort of festival or large group event with many young people partying and drinking heavily. While we don’t mind people having fun, the atmosphere was very loud and clearly not child-friendly. If we had known that the hotel was going to be hosting such events, we never would have booked it as a young family. I wish all the hard working people at this hotel the best, but I would never return even if it would be free (genuine feedback)

Eleonora Hadjithoma

We had an unforgettable time at this hotel during the salsa event 1st-5th of May! The atmosphere was full of energy, and it was such a joy to dance the nights away with my friends. The rooms were absolutely amazing, comfortable, clean, and stylish. What truly made the stay special was the warm and friendly staff, we shared so many laughs and felt genuinely welcomed. This event was a perfect mix of fun, music, and great hospitality. The hotel must host this incredible event again!🤩

Dorothy Hadjithoma

Wow! What a beautiful hotel, with amazing views! Super quality food! And excellent service. Everything was provided when asked. I loved my time there and can’t wait to be back. Here some beautiful photos from last weekend

Overview- I brought my 4 kids to this hotel with my husband, upon arriving we got upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi, lovely but the problem is this new rooms did not have enough beds my daughter had to sleep on a couch and I had to sleep with my son and other daughter in my bed while my husband and other son slept in another room. Apart from this the room was very nice but the AC did not work , lowest it could go to was 16degrees which is not cold. There is also NO WIFI in ANY of the hotel rooms after reporting this to reception they said it was broken, it’s not it needs a password and they refuse to give it out to anyone! My children also got stuck in the elevator leading to our rooms , it’s stopped working they were trapped for 15 minutes , not a lot but they refused to go in any elevators for the rest of our trip. The hotel has great amenities but they are not used correctly. At dinner time considering the fact that this is a child friendly hotel there was not many child friendly options. I was very annoyed that not a single night there was chicken nuggets , I have a picky son and he stated that all the chips were soggy with to much oil , the only thing he ate every night at dinner was bread and bread at lunch (same problem ) and bread at breakfast as the croissants were stale and pancakes had no sugar in them , my poor son ate barley anything and lived off ice cream. The pools are lovely and the kids club is nice. Most of our time was spent in reception since that was the only area with wifi. The hotel is falsely advertised and could be used much better Overall I have been to turkey 7 times and this is the worst hotel I have stayed in , very disappointed

Nadia Futa

Orka Sunlife offered stunning views, a definite highlight. However, practicalities were lacking. The single lift, necessary for our upstairs room, broke down, causing inconvenience. Attempts to dine at the Chinese restaurant were frustrating due to vague and repeated "come back later" responses. Finally, the complete absence of Wi-Fi was a significant drawback. While the view was beautiful, these issues overshadowed the positives. Personally, I don't think this hotel is 5 stars.

Nihal Haddi

we had the best experience in this Hotel and in Egypt in general. The hotel is beautiful and there is so much to do for the whole family without the need to even go out if you don’t want to. The food is amazing and lots of variety and good quality. The cleanness and attention to details is of a high standard and the staff are super friendly and very professional. They work hard to make sure everyone is served and they are helpful and joyful. We were offered the excursions by our travel agency Rep the day after our arrival and we did the snorkel g, the safari and day trip to Cairo (flight) and we were well looked after by the reps and even the bus driver were all very polite and super professional. I can go on about every detail but to conclude, if you are a family and looking for easy fun holiday that won’t cost an arm and leg this all inclusive package is the best. We had our holidays booked with Red Sea holidays and we were not disappointed .

Viral Mehta

I absolutely had great times at the resort with my family and also going different places like Cairo (for Pyramids), Luxor, Red Sea Snorkelling etc. Hotel Management will look after you very well if you have any issues. Only problem I had was related to Food as resort is focusing more on Beef items and less items of Chicken, lamb etc. The service is also OK at the resort. Though this resort is rated as 5 star, my personal view is that it should be 4 star and not the 5 star. To show 5 star category, this resort need to improve a lot on food, service including wifi and for some rooms as well. My suggestion would be to add more items of chicken and different cuisine like Indian, chiense, mexican etc. and reduce Beef items. Al Carte restaurants doesn't have attractive menus as I could see again many items are related to Beef so needs improvement on there too.

Nabil Elsayed

My family had a wonderful experience at the hotel, thanks to Mr. Mohamed Ibrahim the Executive assistant manager , who was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. The entire staff was amazing, especially Ali Ibrahim (350) and Mustafa, (184) who took great care of our rooms. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and highly professional. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended!

The Seeker

Let me start with the drive to the hotel… It started with our driver joyfully picking us up from the local airport, only to tell us that our tour guide wants to see us now to talk about our excursions. (Mind you, this was around 10pm and we’ve been travelling for about 10 hours+). So I told him we’re tired and we can talk about that another day, so he reluctantly agreed. (A bit strange that they didn’t already know that and that I had to explain to him multiple times IM TIRED! SO GIVE ME A BREAK!) Then he dropped us off at titanic hotel, but it was the wrong one. So make sure you tell them it’s titanic beach and not just titanic. As there’s a whole group of titanic hotels and other similar sounding hotels. So he picked us up again and took us to the correct hotel. We were given rooms on the other side of the hotel, even though our package said we have ‘Poolside Rooms’. I also found it strange that there were other people in front of us and the man at the desk asked them “what rooms do you want? Top floor, or bottom?” And when it was our turn they just gave us any room. Strange indeed. Anyways, some of the rooms have fridges which make the drinks very cold. Which is ideal for me. Make sure to set it to number 3 and leave it for a day to get cold. The AC is strong enough to keep you cool and the bathroom is very spacious, with a walk in shower. You can use the bidet which is installed inside the toilet itself but it’s not really ideal. They also have balconies to hang clothes and relax in The cleaners also give free drinks of water bottles, coke and 7up, as much as you please. So enjoy and make sure to tip! Overall the staff were only nice when it suited them, otherwise they were arrogant and needed an attitude check. There were the odd few who were kind and looked after you but it was the exception, not the rule For example, i spoke to one of the staff at the arcade and told him your manager gave us half hour to use today and he said to us “that’s your problem, not mine!” I mean why do you have to act like a spoilt child when asked a basic question? Customer service is definitely not trained in Egypt I see. Well you can guess what I told him back - “No, that’s your problem! So you better sort it out!” He did end up giving us the time to play but after much back and forth. There is a gym (if you can call it that) in the Spa building. You have to walk past Jack and Rose restaurants and the Grill and you’ll see a turning on your left. Go through that and and on your left you’ll see the Spa. Go in there and on your right will be the “gym.” Best to go around 1pm, as literally no one is there and you get an empty gym to yourself! Also, don’t waste your time with the city tour or any other excursion with your tour guide, from your country. They charge extortionate amounts and the only justification for robbing you blind is that they give you insurance. What a joke! (Only buy the sim card from them, as you’ll need it to ring people and use the internet. - Much cheaper than Airalo) The city tour itself is a waste, apart from visiting the big mosque. You go to overly priced shops and restaurants and pay UK prices for Egyptian goods. Complete rip off and not to mention a complete waste of time Book everything from getyourguide and download the app. The horse riding with swimming is the best horse riding I’ve ever done! Take my word for it In addition to this, there is no prayer room sadly. Even though there are multiple bars, multiple restaurants, massive arcade room, numerous pools and slides, etc. Sadly, the prayer comes after everything else in these hotels.. sad that One more thing - do not use taxis from this hotel as they’ll charge you an arm and a leg. Instead use Uber and it’ll cost you like £2 to get to Senzo mall and back

Peter Kirby

We stay here twice a year, the staff are always there to help. Plenty to eat, barbecue every lunchtime. Drinks on tap, what more could you want?We have taken the Grandchildren here many times,good planing with the children’s pool and play area. We have tried many Hotels in this area, this is by far the BEST….

Ludmila

Mohamed and Adrian are the best Waiters Mohamed speaks many languages very well and He is very friendly to guests. Was very nice to meet him. The food was always fresh and diverse. We recommend the stay in this Hotel, but it would be good if the rooms were cleaned every day

Mark Layfield

Lovely hotel, very good selection of food. Great staff always friendly and helpful. Good entertainment for young and older, only slight issue was the lack of sandy beach close by, mostly rocky. But thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

Ian OTimelord

This was my second stay at the royal monica. Last time was two years ago. It's a lovely place to stay, stunning views too. Staff are friendly & very helpful. The food...what choices...so many...& deserts...so tasty. Only small critisim is no proper sausages...but that's a minor grumble. Food is always fresh & some of it is cooked live. Entertainment was good, especially the Flamenco dances. My room was big and cleaned daily.

Ross Rosewarne

You get what you pay for. The hotel is like stepping back in time its very dated. It is clean but the whole place needs some love. Swimming pool is freezing and if you look closely its missing a lot of tiles . The tiles are on the bottom of the pool. Sunbeds are old and some are broken. The Drinks are okay, the cocktails are not so good. Best part of the food is lunch , we only ate once in the evening as it was not great at all. Breakfast not great either, Beans placed onto the hot plate cold in the hope they will cook /warm up so if your first in you get cold food. Got left a note in the room asking for us not to take drinks back to the room - Was only water ! Most of the staff are very friendly and work hard. The older lady on reception with the ponytail - Just plain rude. Great location for peace & quiet 40 min walk along coastal path to playa blanca, very scenic and enjoyable easy walk. This place could be really really good with some money spent on it , defiantly the sick man of the SBH hotel chain .

Denise Arthur

The Hotel is old and Tired. It is a good 30 minute walk to the town but the views are spectacular. The staff are friendly enough. Food is terrible but what do you expect for a budget hotel. All these you can take in your stride but not offering a shower facility for guests with after check out flights is unforgivable , it's been a long time since I've had to change in a bathroom and not have a shower before boarding an evening flight .shocking 🙃

Alin Gadaev (‫מה גיליתי‬‎)

We stayed at the hotel for five days and four nights, and truly enjoyed our time there. The service was excellent — the staff was kind, helpful, and always available when we needed something. Even though most of them spoke primarily French, they made a big effort to understand us and assist us in every possible way. It really showed how much they cared. The food was absolutely delicious — rich, varied, and plentiful. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, and we always found something fresh and tasty to enjoy. Although we visited during a rainy period, it didn’t take away from the experience. The hotel offered plenty of indoor activities and entertainment, so we were never bored. Honestly, if we had such a great time in rainy weather, I can only imagine how amazing it must be in the summer! In short — a warm and welcoming vacation, with great service, wonderful food, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates genuine hospitality and a hotel that truly invests in its guests.

Aleksandra Pa

I spend 9 days with my family on all inclusive. The hotel was very nice and spacious. The food was good and the service was also very nice. The choice of food and drinks was impeccable. A big plus is the sunbeds on the beach and a small bar, a very nice way to spend time. The downside is that most of the activities were conducted in French and not always translated. The hotel is generally worth recommending .End of season lots off sale and much more quiet. Weather 23 degrees and not much sun in that part of Create.

Michal Lushi

We had an exceptional stay at this lovely hotel! The dining options were impressively diverse, featuring a wide variety of meats, fish, side dishes, vegetables, fruits, desserts, and delicious ice cream. The restaurant, with its cozy atmosphere and stunning sea view, was a highlight of our experience. Access to the beach is very convenient, The beach area was pleasant, with sun-beds available. The hotel maintained two beautiful pools, both featuring a lively atmosphere with music and breathtaking views. There’s also a designated shallow area for children, along with a gaming room to keep them entertained. The staff was friendly and engaging, providing excellent service - multilingual, speaking German, French, and English. They were incredibly welcoming, always smiling, and eager to assist in any way. Overall, we had an amazing time and highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a fantastic all-inclusive experience!

I was with my partner on a week's holiday, I definitely do not recommend this hotel if someone suffers from asthma. The entire hotel smells incredibly of chlorine, which made it hard to get out of bed in the morning plus a sore throat. I will also add that people using wheelchairs or the physically disabled will have problems getting to the hotel or moving around on its premises. Apart from that, the hotel is really nice, nice views and we got a nice room (for an additional fee of course). Hotel service at a high level so there was nothing to find fault with. Animation only in French so if someone wants to go to this hotel with children, please keep that in mind. The drinks at the bar were very weak, the wine from the restaurant was much stronger, strange. Souvenir shops at every turn are a big plus, two supermarkets right next to the hotel are also a plus. The sea is about 200 meters from the hotel, so very close. Greetings to the entire hotel staff and management! 🩵

I stayed for 9 nights and had a generally good experience here. Reception staff were helpful along with polite and informative . The hotel in generally nice and clean and in good aesthetic condition. There are loads of sunbeds outside in the pool area.

Hanna MB

I just returned from a great week stay with 2 adults and 2 very young children. Staff were excellent with my children, very kind and interactive. Food was good - there was always something for us to enjoy at each meal. Drinks were good, I believe they have introduced a well thought out system where they only serve 2 drinks per person at a time to keep the queue moving at the pool bar, though they could benefit from a second person to make this even faster. Room and facilities were basic but very clean. Children’s playground could use an update as the flooring is uneven. Pool is not heated so a bit chilly in March. But this wouldn’t be a problem in the summer months. Life guard present, who does take the time to inspect and observe that rules are being followed.

Lillian Okungu

The staff are very friendly everyone can afford a smile when you meet them, just the Managment should provide a bottle or 2 of water per day in those fridges rather than keeping a fridge running empty, it’s a good hospitality to do so and doesn’t cost much, plus things for making a hot drink, what’s the point of the electric jug in the room when there is nothing in the room to use it for. The TV was in Spanish, so I could not use it. And pool towel is bought so best you carry yours or be ready to buy one 10 Euro. Otherwise the staff were helpful especially the restaurant, evening bar and house keeping. Would come back

Mandy Scoble

Arrived to wait 3 hours for room. Not offered a drink etc. Very noisy hotel in the evening. Staff not welcoming at all. A very quiet resort!! Absolutely nothing in the area at all. 5 euro taxi to town. Limited selection of drinks. Restaurant breakfast selection was good - lunch fair - dinner poor choice. Labelling of food re allergy is zero! Room was fine but poor 5 x weekly 'clean' - no cups washed etc. Overall I would not recommend this hotel and certainly not location.

Crystal ann

I’ve seen a few bad reviews, but i think i personally it’s due to them choosing the standard room. Me and my partner had chosen the highest room they had and honestly it’s lovely! The pool is lovely! The area, the workers! food etc. If you were thinking of staying here i would definitely recommend getting the more expensive room they do!

Elle Hill

We stayed at Globales Costa Tropical for 3 nights as a budget break. Check-in was smooth and we were given our all-inclusive wristbands at 12pm, although the room wasn’t ready until 3pm. We were in one of the duplexes, which are set in a quieter area of the hotel away from the main building – a definite bonus for a more peaceful stay. The duplex itself was clean but very basic. There was no soap or shower gel provided, and no beach towels – so make sure to bring your own. Room towels were included. One major downside was the lack of air-conditioning. It was quite uncomfortable at times and we had to leave the windows and balcony doors open to try and cool down. There were self-catering facilities such as a fridge and kettle, but no cutlery – not even a spoon for tea or coffee. Another letdown was that no bottled water was provided in the room, which felt like a small but noticeable omission, especially given the heat. The pool area was clean and well-maintained. Only the pool bar was open during the day, and while staff were generally friendly, there were frequent queues as only one bartender was on duty. They would often disappear to make drinks at the other bar for non-inclusive cocktails, which slowed things down. The food was okay – nothing fancy but we always found something to eat. There was a consistent selection of pasta, breads, salads, desserts, and ice cream. Beer, wine, and soft drinks were self-serve, which was convenient. Evening entertainment was underwhelming, with a random mix of music. There were always queues at the bar, but it was still pleasant enough to sit outside and enjoy the evening air. Do note that rooms in the main hotel building can be noisy, especially those directly above the bar – several guests were complaining about the sound levels. We had no such issues in the duplexes. There are two on-site shops – a souvenir store and a mini-market. The location of the hotel is somewhat remote. There are a few bars nearby, but the main town is a 15–20-minute walk through a wasteland, or about 30–40 minutes via the scenic coastal route. I’d recommend the latter – especially to see the chipmunks along the front! Taxis are inexpensive (around €3.50), and there’s plenty to explore in the nearby town. Checkout was at 12pm, but we were pleasantly surprised that our all-inclusive bands were not removed, allowing us to grab lunch and drinks before leaving. Overall: For a cheap, no-frills break, this place offers good value. I’d stay again if I found another budget deal. Would I pay premium prices to stay here? Definitely not. But if you go with the right expectations, it does the job for a quick and affordable escape.

Well what can I say. What a great holiday we had here. Our rooms were upgraded because I believed we had booked sea view rooms but apparently they were side sea view to which I was not happy however Olga the customer relations manager upgraded us to sea front rooms and she was very helpful to me before and during the holiday. Our rooms were clean and spacious and our cleaner Ahmed was a lovely man and looked after us well. The food was Amazing lots of different selections to choose from . My daughter who is gluten free was looked after well by the restaurant manager Waleed and head chef who even brought partner some special vegetables when he heard him asking for vegan meals. Our waiter Mostafa couldn’t do enough for us! Only downside is you do not get your full 7 days all inclusive as we arrive about 7-8 at night on the Saturday and on the following Saturday check out was at 12 and they cut your ands off so we couldn’t access the food and drinks. They did allow us to keep one room for free until 3pm and allowed us to eat lunch at the restaurant. First time in Egypt and the hotel staff made it enjoyable for us They views were Amazing too! A special shout out to the names mentioned above Olga Ahmed Waleed Head Chef and Mostafa they are a credit to your hotel . Bar staff on beach and restaurant looked after us and beach staff were great, pool was closed for most of our week which we was not told about. Animation staff okay however one was very pushy can’t remember her name maybe seo ? Loved this hotel I would 💯 go back again ♥️

I recently stayed at Barceló Tiran Sharm, and while some aspects were great, others were disappointing. Check-in & First Impressions Upon arrival, the reception staff were professional and welcoming. However, I was surprised when they immediately offered us a paid room upgrade—before we had even seen our assigned room. This made me wonder if there was something wrong with the standard rooms. We declined, as the website showcased beautiful rooms, so why pay extra for something you already expect to be nice? Once we finally got our keys and entered the room, it was quite outdated—nothing like the website photos. The bedding was worn out, with visible fabric pilling from overuse. The room also didn’t seem to have been properly cleaned before our arrival. Since we were tired from a late arrival, we just went to sleep. The next day, after leaving a tip for housekeeping, the room was properly cleaned, and we were given new, comfortable bedding. Food & Drinks The food was repetitive, with not much variety. Lots of plain salads, but enough to keep you fed. Drinks at the beach bar were great, and the bar staff were fantastic—friendly and welcoming. Biggest Disappointment The pool was under refurbishment, and at no point before arrival were we informed that it would be completely unavailable. This was frustrating, as a pool is a major part of a beach resort experience. What Made the Trip Worth It? The animation team! They were the true highlight of the stay, keeping guests entertained throughout the day and evening. Special thanks to Zarina, Ksysha, Regina, Saio, Hamza, and Rob—they truly know how to keep guests engaged and motivated. Would I Return? Yes, despite the issues with the room and food. The entertainment team and beach bar staff made up for the shortcomings. However, management should be more transparent about room quality and any ongoing renovations.

Had an amazing stay at Barcelo Tiran Sharm! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, very clean and well-maintained. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Drinks were great, and the bar service was fast and professional. Rooms were spotless every day. Highly recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation!

Firstly where do I start 😊 From the minute I booked this hotel the service and the emails back and fourth with Olga were brilliant. I would like to thankyou for the room upgrade on arrival as well as the birthday cake, room decoration and the stunning views at the hotel. The photographer was amazing helping me with our wedding proposal and capturing it on camera for us. The beach is stunning, plenty of sunbeds for everybody and lovely service from the towel hut and life guards. The Animation team are excellent. Very welcoming and polite always going out there way to get everybody involved in activities and suprising us on the evening of our engagement congratulating us. The food is beautiful, a wide variety and always something for everybody. During the day for the more fussy eaters the beach restaurant (snack bar) 12pm till 5pm has chips, burgers, hotdogs, pizzas etc available. I couldn't fault the hotel. It was a shame the main pool was closed for renovation although this is due to be complete by the beginning of March I was told. Hoping to return in the future 🥂🍹🐫🏝

We have just returned from a beautiful 3 night stay at the hotel on the all inclusive package. I had initial reservations regarding the hotel after looking through reviews but was glad that they didn't reflect our experience. - The room was gorgeous and well set up, lovely balcony and view of the pool. - food was enjoyable but nothing special. The buffet in the morning has a great selection and lunch + dinner you order from the app at your table, with salad options by buffet. The a-la-carte restaurant was fully booked which was a real disappointment. Avoid the bar snacks in the day though, dry and inedible. - The drinks were awesome, great selection and delicious cocktails. - Staff were warm and welcoming, always happy to support. We really enjoyed the service from Chris at the pool bar. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable escape from life. It's not the "foodie experience" promised on the website, but I'd return :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although we went during a festival so we could not visit the old town of Corfu liked we wanted it was still a lovely get away. The rooms were beautifully decorated with lovely balcony’s. The whole hotel was decorated and stunning. The food everyday throughout the breakfast, snacks and dinner were delicious. The all inclusive only option was amazing as we had as many cocktails as we wanted. We got to enjoy the pot smashing and also the fireworks on one night. The whole atmosphere at Cooks Club was fantastic. Location wise not that great but a bus stop is right outside the hotel so you can travel.

We recently visited cooks club in Corfu. The hotel is immaculate and outstanding. The staff are great and very helpful. The food was out of this world, would go as far as saying the best I’ve ever had at an all inclusive. The pool area is fantastic, I can’t fault the hotel or its service. The entertainment is brilliant and there’s something for everyone. The hotel is near the port by car and also the old town. But it seems to be in the middle of nowhere so you definitely need a taxi everywhere you go. The rooms were great, good size. However my only complaint is that the hotel is very very very noisy. The walls are paper thin. We had people moving furniture at 2:30am, people shouting banging you could hear everything from your hotel room. We were on floor 1 so maybe the floors above are a bit quieter but we struggled to sleep. We did complain about the noise to reception and they immediately took action and done something about it so again I can’t fault the hotels service. Just a shame we had people wanting to move their beds round at 2:30am. The hotels little shop is a great little gem. And the hotel also have a courtesy room so that you can have a shower and get changed before your flight. Overall fantastic stay just a shame about the noisy neighbours.

Hotel looks GREAT, but reality is, it’s instagrammable but not great. Food is poor / average. Menus sound great, but reality is most things either in the snack bar or main restaurant were pretty poor. Sun loungers super uncomfortable. No AC in the hotel rooms. Walls super thin so can hear your neighbour speaking / watching TV. Service and staff nice. Pool was nice. Gym was ok, but again no AC. Electricity would fail and turn off cardio kit. Wasn’t ideal. Overall, the pictures were great and sold it To us but I wouldn’t go back to the hotel in Corfu. Overall 4/10

While the hotel rooms are nicely decorated, the walls are paper-thin, we could hear every noise from neighbouring rooms and the corridors. Our stay was repeatedly disrupted by hen parties running through the halls at 1–2 a.m. We called reception twice, but no meaningful action was taken. These large, noisy groups were not separated from other guests or managed in any way, despite this being advertised as a boho, adult-only resort. The food was, by far, the biggest letdown. It was consistently poor and showed clear signs of cost-cutting. Hot dishes were overcooked and repetitive. There was no fresh, local Greek food, just tinned olives, no traditional mezzes, and no proper salad bar (only small, pre-prepped bowls). There were no local cheeses or cold meats, and very few vegetarian options. The weird service style buffet restaurant focused on bland, uninspired international dishes that you order via an app but have to get up and get your drinks. Even simple staples like bread and pastries tasted stale or mass-produced. It lacked quality, variety, and any authenticity. Also we have to look at everything on our phones, when we are on holiday we don’t want to spend all our time looking at our phones. Guests staying fewer than seven nights are only allowed one à la carte meal, and we could not book via the app because we were under 7 nights, this wasn’t communicated upon arrival, we only found out by asking. Due to how poor the buffet was, we paid to eat out on multiple nights, despite booking all-inclusive. Drinks were also misrepresented. Love Holidays stated branded drinks were included, but in reality, you have to pay €5 per branded spirit. Shockingly, even bottled water isn’t included in the package, you must pay for it, otherwise you’re limited to small glasses from a dispenser, which is unacceptable in a hot climate also in a country where we should not be drinking tap water. To take glasses or water to you room at night is terrible. We voiced our concerns to the hotel team, but they were indifferent and took no visible action. There was no sense of responsibility or service. This hotel felt like a cheap, poorly managed operation with misleading marketing, dressed up as a premium adult retreat. Sadly, it fell well below expectations on every front. I would absolutely not recommend this hotel to anyone and will be pursuing a formal complaint with both the travel agent and the hotel management.
