With its many activities, this hotel is ideal for sports addicts. Riding, squash, diving, ice skating and gymnastics, everyone can find something to distract.

The Concorde El Salam is located on the beach at White Knight, 6 miles from Sharm el Sheikh airport, 12.5 miles from Nama Bay and 18.5 miles from Sharm el Sheikh.
The hotel can accommodate over 1,700 customers and has 725 rooms located in two complexes linked by free shuttles that run every 15 minutes. The section beside the sea contains 420 rooms and there are 305 in the newer part. Each room has a balcony or a terrace overlooking the garden, swimming pool or sea (extra charge), a bathroom with a bathtub and skin care products, air conditioning, an empty mini-fridge, a telephone line, television and a safe. Some rooms are equipped with a third bed to accommodate a child. Room service is available 24/24.
Open since 2001, the hotel is divided into two parts, the first near the beach and the second, opened recently (2003) hosts most of the sports facilities. There are 5 pools including 2 heated are in winter, a swimming pool reserved for children and an indoor pool near the fitness centre. A team of international animators offers activities throughout the day and the Kid's Club caters for children aged 3 to 12, open from 10 AM to 09:30 PM. Due to the large grounds, golf carts and a small train are available to transport the clients. It also has a skating rink, a hippodrome and a wooden boat-shaped disco.
The two main restaurants of the hotel (one in each part) offer international cuisine buffet style. Lebanese and fish restaurants are in the area and there are bars where you can drink, take quick snacks or smoke chicha. Do not miss them, as some have an integrated pool bar. With the bar located right in the pool, it is possible to order a cocktail without even leaving the water.
The beach is terraced and has several levels. It is equipped with thatched umbrellas, padded deck chairs, a diving centre and water sports - windsurfing or canoeing for a fee. There is no sand in the water - the sea bottom has rocks and coral. A pontoon allows you to get in deeper waters.
You should take advantage of the rooms with a sea view, which are not very numerous. Our advice about accommodation: the rooms closest to the sea start with the numbers 5 and 6. On the other hand, the rooms whose numbers start with 1 or 2 are farther from the sea but close to the sports complex. We recommend the rooms starting with the numbers 81 and 82 which are located around the large swimming pool.

Cet hôtel est absolument charmant. Le personnel est vraiment incroyable! Ils ne peuvent pas faire assez pour vous. Pas une seule fois nous tombons sur un membre du personnel grossier. La piscine est belle et dans un beau cadre. À distance de marche de Soho Square. Nous recommanderions cet hôtel à tout le monde! La nourriture a une grande variété .

Y en a pas désolé =)
Although it appears to be a little old at first glance, this unpretentious hotel has many facilities to satisfy its customers and its beach has a very good spot for scuba diving.
Perfectly maintained, this hotel facility offers luxury and refinement. With its shaded gardens, many fountains and outdoor jacuzzi, it is the ideal place to relax.
The Hilton Sharks Bay is a well equipped hotel, or a manageable size, perfect for families.
The Sierra Savoy is the Savoy's version of a resort. Although fairly modern and well maintained, guests should not expect a luxury establishment. The site is fairly small so most of the nightlife happens in neighbouring Soho Square which makes for lively evenings during busy periods.
An all-round good quality hotel compared to most hotels in Sharm el Sheikh. The extension of the Hilton Shark's Bay is neat and well maintained and is separate from the original part of the resort. There is also nothing Egyptian about the place; one could be anywhere in the world. This part of the hotel lacks in atmosphere but is relaxing and guests are guaranteed a fairly good quality room.
The Jaz Belvedere Hotel is easily one of Sharm el Sheikh best quality resorts. With its beautiful interiors and very well maintained exteriors, the Belvedere is more of a hotel than a resort. Directly on the beach, the hotel is small enough to retain intimacy and large enough not to feel claustrophobic after a week. The Belvedere is definitely one of our favourites.
The Domina Gardenia Plaza is an ideal resort for guests looking to sunbathe around a pool and even then there are so much nicer places to stay at within the same price range. With its beach 25 minutes away, a serious lack of atmosphere and a need for refurbishment, this resort is at the bottom of our list.
A very well organised resort with extremely pretty gardens containing pleasant water features, and villa-like accommodation buildings giving the establishment a village feel, despite the rooms and bathrooms needing a renovation. The beach is a short walk away across the gardens and the sea is ideal for snorkelling although it can get a little crowded. The highlight of the resort is the wonderful views of the Red Sea from the beach Fatima Restaurant.

This gargantuan complex is quite simply in a class of its own. You can take any aspect of the hotel, its rooms, its spa, its eateries, its views or its staff and you'll find everything is top draw. If it is top of the range you are after for in Sharm then you can't go far wrong in choosing the Royal Oasis, perfect for couples and families looking for the very best in service and facilities in a setting to die for.
Fully equipped, this hotel offers exclusive comfort in a pleasant setting. Ideal for a week of relaxation.
One of the classier outfits in Sharm el Sheikh, the Royal Grand Sharm offers the complete package to guests looking for that little bit extra from their hotel. Perky staff, a beautifully kept environment and convivial atmosphere make this a natural choice for both couples and families. This mid- to high-end establishment is extremely comfortable and is recommended wholly by Easyvoyage.
Quiet and pleasant, this hotel is ideal for couples and diving fans. However, it is poorly adapted for a family-style vacation due to the absence of a kid's club.

The Oriental Rivoli is without doubt one of the classiest hotels in Sharm el Sheikh. Its sumptuous decoration must be the finest in the resort and all of its services exude quality, from its staff to its food. Best suited for couples or groups of friends, due to its lack of animation or a kids club, it is the perfect place for relaxation, reflection and rejuvenation.
