Me and my partner both loved staying at this hotel, we went for two weeks and were absolutely gutted when we had to go. Rooms were nice and cleaned daily. Our air con broke one night but that was fixed really quickly and no other problems. Huge beds and lovely balcony. If you want a shower though its best to... more

This hotel has very good facilities, nice pools. We used the 2nd pool as quieter, sunbeds no problem. Beach nice but snorkling not as good as other hotels at Sharks Bay as no house reef. Long walkway and shallow water so excellent for children or people new to snorkling. Accomondation good, big, clean room. Resturarant very good, lots of choice... more

This was our 1st - and probably last - visit to Egypt. The holiday was chosen for the weather - and the hotel looked nice in the brochure although I honestly didn't really do any research as we booked this as a last minute alternative because we couldn't book the part of Cyprus we wanted. It wasn't our best holiday... more

We had stayed in Sharm before but in Sharks Bay. Booked the half term holiday at the Oriental at Thomas Cook. On arriving at the hotel, we were a little disappointed at its outside appearance - not as snazzy as a lot of the places we dropped other people at. But inside it was fairly smart and the building site... more

My partner and I visited the Oriental for 2 weeks from the 2nd of September 2009. What a wondeful time we had! When we arrived, we were slightly suprised by the appearance of the hotel as some building work was being done at the entrance so it did not look as attractive as pictures we had seen. However when we... more

Arrived back early yesterday. We were a little worried about what to expect after reading the reviews, all we can say is that we feel all the bad reviews written based on our experience there are totally unjustified. My Husband and both children really didn't want to come home (both children cried age 10 and 13!, and even I had... more

The service we received was very good,the staff were always helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.The hotel was always clean and the rooms were a very good size and also kept very clean with fresh towels every day.The complex was big and backed on to the beach with three bars,two by the pools and one on the... more

We just got back from a week at the oriental, Nabq. After reading some of the reviews on here, I now think the bad ones are not justified. People need to understand that Egyption hotel ratings are not the same as UK - a 5* here is not the same as ours. I would class this hotel as a very... more
