The Maritim Royal Peninsula enjoys a terrific location close to Sharks Bay, a luxury resort in 200,000 square metres of landscaped grounds, it is an modern and tranquil hotel where excellent service is a priority. Accommodation is in bungalows throughout the grounds, each with their own terrace and fully equipped for a satisfying stay.

Another favourite is the Thai spa where a complete range of massage and beauty treatments await you. Two tennis courts, a multipurpose basketball and volleyball court provide more active options, and body work out programmes will help to keep you in shape.

Our opinion: A great choice for beach lovers and night owls.

The Falcon Naama Star, at the top of Naama Bay, is famous for having a friendly atmosphere. It is a short walk to the beach and the clear Red Sea, and a five-minute stroll to the restaurants, shops, bars and clubs that make up Sharm el Sheikh's main resort. The hotel's swimming pool, Jacuzzi and children's pool take centre stage, flanked by sun terraces furnished with loungers, parasols, and shady canopies. When temperatures are soaring, the shady pool bar offers ice-cool drinks as well as snacks, and an outdoor body herbal massage will elevate poolside pleasure to a new level. For a touch more privacy, there is a spa, steam room and sauna or if gentle exercise is what is required billiards and table-tennis are available. Mealtimes are well served, too, with a buffet at breakfast, lunch and dinner, complemented by live shows. HOLIDAY EXTRA - Diving can be added to your Holiday.

Our opinion: A good value hotel with a variety of facilities, ideal for a budget holiday in Sharm El Sheikh.

The Amar Sina Hotel is an unusual, older hotel built in typical Nubian style, located in the Hadaba area of Sharm El Sheikh. Naama bay and the beach are within easy reach. It offers a low-cost opportunity to experience the many delights of a holiday in this exotic but unsophisticated part of the world and experience first-hand the warmth of the Egyptian sun and her people. The friendly staff at the Amar Sina makes you feel welcome, rooms are basic but spacious and suitable for young people travelling together seeking a lively time; doors remain open for late night revelers to get their head down at any point before dawn.

The Jasmine Village Hotel is a cheerful, roomy establishment occupying an exceptional spot directly facing a glorious 200-metre sandy beach. A windsurfing school has been established at the hotel for guests to take full advantage of the wonderful opportunity this confers. It is a perfect spot for all manner of water sports, but holidays here are not just about snorkels and swimsuits; there are plenty of other dry-land activities going on too, such as tennis, squash, mini-golf and basketball. If the sun has faded your competitive streak, though, a stint in the health club and gym should suffice to keep you in trim. Children will enjoy days spent around the hotel's large, attractive pool or perhaps in the adventure playground or maybe the mini-golf will capture their enthusiasm. With 2 restaurants and 3 bars to choose between, as well as a beach snack bar with grill, there's no need to wander far beyond the hotel and beach. Nonetheless, the hustle and bustle of Hurghada is only 7 miles away and worth a visit to experience its lively atmosphere.
