We liked this one a lot! Many a Sharm el Sheikh hotel resembles the next one and struggles to differentiate itself. This is not the case with the Maritim Jolieville which is unique in several ways. Every aspect of the hotel meets the grade from the welcome to the rooms, the dining to the sports facilities. Strongly recommended to families, couples and to groups of friends.

    Location 3.0 /10

    The Maritim Jolieville is located on the main road going through Naama Bay along with several other hotels. The property has privileged plot right on the Red Sea. The airport is just a 15 minute ride away as in the neighbouring zone of Hadaba, with Shark's Bay even closer. Part of the complex, namely the sports facilities and diving centre, is across the road.

    Accommodation 8.45 /10

    While the outside of the hotel recalls architecture of the 1980s, with its angular overhanging roof supported by wooden columns half way round the building, the interior is 1970s cruise boat kitsch, featuring several shades of brown, marine-themed mosaics around the top of the walls and the classic display of clocks with the time in some of the world's major cities. It is though an agreeable introduction to the hotel. An attractive flower display adorns the central seating bank and there are more at the reception to the right and the bar to the far left corner. The hotel has two swimming pools (one of which is heated in the summer, the other being a salt water pool) which are well maintained and whose numerous sun beds are exposed to the sun all day long. There is also a kids pool for the little ones to play around in close to the main ones. The animation team consists of five English-speaking Italians who take care of both children (at the Snoopy Kids Club for those aged three-12) and adults (pool games, volleyball, music and dance shows at Seagulls restaurant). If you are looking to keep in shape in style then you'll love the Maritim's gym, one of the best we have seen in Sharm, with excellent facilities. The Thai Spa is equally as impressive with an attractively designed warm red entrance hall, several massage rooms (including one for Thai massages and two hydrotherapy rooms), a beauty salon, two saunas and two designer steam rooms. Across the road from the hotel are the tennis courts, diving centre and a small bar. Back on the main site you can also play table tennis, baby foot and pool. Excursions, such as jeep safaris and fishing, can also be arranged through the hotel. The Library/Tea Room is the perfect place to wind down with a book and a cup of tea or coffee and is certainly something that makes the hotel stand out from the rest. Due to the size of the complex and its layout, getting around can take a while, so buggies, driven by hotel staff, are at hand to get you from A to B. You will notice when aboard that the grounds are kept neat and tidy and at night they are lit attractively with, among others, Moroccan lamps.

    Overview 8.20 /10

    The Maritim Jolieville has a shade under 400 rooms, including 23 suites of varying sizes. The standard rooms are of a generous size and have a little more class than your average Sharm el Sheikh standard. The first touch that differentiates them is the flowers that lighten up both the bedroom and bathroom and which are placed there as a matter of course. Another feature marking them out are the flatscreen televisions placed on the solid dressers with wickered doors. Then you have the tea and coffee facilities, complimentary bottle of water, quaint artwork and wall lighting all of which make for a comfortable, homely atmosphere. The spotless bathrooms have hairdryer, personalised toiletries and either a shower cubicle or bathtub depending on which block the room is in. For a little more space you should opt for the Jolie suites which have a seating area and small extras such as bath robes, or for a separate living room then the Executive suite is the one to go for. The other two types of suite are the Senior and Presidential which both offer more living space still as well as kitchenettes. All rooms have a safe and either a balcony or terrace.

    Food and drink 8.45 /10

    In total the Maritim has five restaurants and four bars with a couple of other options for snacks. The main restaurant, Orangerie, is open for breakfast and dinner and serves a themed international buffet which runs on a one-week cycle. Within the restaurant is another à la carte option, La Fleur, which offers a French menu and is open only for dinner. If you fancy a bit of entertainment with your meal then the 150-seater Seagulls à la carte restaurant is where the animation team put on their daily shows at dinner time (you can also have lunch here, although there will be no show) and where you can dine al fresco day and night. Perhaps the restaurant with the best atmosphere is Zigolini's, the Italian outfit which looks over the main drag of Naama Bay's tourist area. It can be accessed from both the interior and exterior of the hotel (one entrance is off the aforementioned principal artery) and serves all types of Italian dishes for lunch and dinner. Final choice for lunch or dinner is the BBQ Restaurant located on the beach and which proposes grilled specialities on a daily basis along a theme which comes back on itself once a week. For small snacks at lunch time you've got the pool terrace or for afternoon tea and snacks the library next to Seagulls. If it's just a drink you are after then you've got four bars to choose from including the lobby bar and one in Seagulls.

    Beach 7.70 /10

    The hotel's 500ft private beach is laid out so as to give the maximum of space to all sun worshippers. There is a slight incline to the beach toward the water to which there is both direct access and access via a pontoon for snorkelers. One part of the beach area is decked while the rest is covered with good quality sand. The water here is crystal clear, although on our visit we did spot some rubbish floating around which spoilt the experience somewhat. At the rear of the beach is the BBQ Restaurant which serves grilled items every night on a one week themed cycle.

    To know

    The Maritim Jolieville can boast to have played a small role in the history of the Middle East peace process. Back in March of 1996, the Summit of Peacemakers took place in Sharm el Sheikh and no less than 17 heads of state and the Secretary General of the UN at the time stayed at this resort. Amongst them were British PM John Major, American President Bill Clinton, Israeli PM Shimon Peres and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat.

      If there was a Sham el Sheikh hotel alumni, the Helnan would be part of the old boys club. This grand edifice right in front of the Red Sea is one of the resort's original hotels although you'd never know it from the way it has been looked after. Popular with foreign tourists (Italians, Russians, British) as well as Egyptians, it is suitable for families, couples or groups of friends. With a great location, good infrastructure and friendly staff you need look no further for your Naama Bay base.

      The Three Corners Palmyra has merged with another resort, the Amar Zaman providing a different, more intimate atmosphere from that of the resort-feel found at Three Corners. The Three Corners is a typical resort with nothing special about it ? a good place to stay for those seeking nothing more than sunshine and a good size swimming pool. The resort does have a cleanliness issue however and the food is of particularly poor quality.

      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.

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.

      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 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. Recommended whole-heartedly by Easyvoyage!
