We spent Christmas at the Hyatt Regency with family, there were six of us. We all had either Club suites or Club rooms which meant we had the use of the Club beach, Club pool and Clubhouse. We only used the Club beach (not the main beach) which was lovely - comfy sunbeds, parasols, drinks bought to you etc. You could access the amazing reef directly from the beach or from the end of the jetty if the tide was low.

We only used the Club pool once as the beach was so nice. We didn't use the main pool but had a walk around it and it looked lovely.

Our room (sea view club room) was large and comfortable, a little dated but fine.

There was a large selection for breakfast every day. Most days we had lunch in the Beach House Restaurants and a couple of days we had lunch on the beach. We ate dinner every night at the Souk which was good as we could all have different types of food. The fish was particularly nice. The dessert section was also lovely with freshly made crepes, pancakes etc.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful but our favourites were Abdulah on the club beach and the dessert man (not sure of his name).

The hotel was decorated for Christmas including a huge Christmas tree in Reception.

We will definitely return in the future!

We were impressed with this hotel as soon as we checked in! Our room was a seaview king room which had an excellent view of the Red Sea! Our king size bed was lovely and comfortable and the room was clean and had all the little amenities you needed. Room service daily was fantastic and the room was always made up very nicely. The buffet breakfast is great! Lots of variety and plenty to choose from. The best buffet breakfast I've ever had. The hotel itself was very clean and quiet! The pool area was quite and peaceful and not over crowed. The hotel is very well maintained and the staff are very friendly! The beach is nice and the reef off the pontoon jetty is amazing! So much marine life, you could spend hours snorkeling around the jetty. The restaurants are all very good! Sala Thai is a lovely restaurant, great quality food and very well decorated. Souk is also very nice! Lots of different variety of food to choose from with entertainment daily! Cascades and The Beach Hut restaurants for lunch were tasty, great service and very friendly. This is definitely a great hotel and a great place to stay, we will definitely visit again!

My partner and I stayed at this hotel early last year and had a wonderful time. The hotel itself is quite nice, the landscaping and gardens are kept well and the pool areas are big and of various sizes (I believe the pool is the biggest in Sharm).

For our stay we chose the club rooms which were all ocean front rooms. The added benefit of these rooms is that you get extra perks i.e. having your own pool area which are only available to all other club members (there were only 4 other couples at the pool so it was blissfuly quiet and relaxing), you able to eat breakfast in the Club Lounge which is very nice and sophisticated. Free drinks are served during the day either at your room or by the pool area. In my opinion it is definitely worth upgrading to the club rooms as the main pool areas were always busy and the main breakfest area was over crowded.

The waiters at the club pool were amazing. They always made sure you had drinks and brought fruit in the mornings with wet towels which was a nice touch. They actually went as far to ensure that we had the same pool beds every day (the beds were set for us each morning). This was great.

On the rooms thesmsleves, our room was very spacious and had a nice contemporary feel about it. There were no mosquitos which was very pleasing.

The hotel had a wonderful souk area which contained various restaurant of various flavours which tasted wonderful. They had an amazing Thai restaurant - the food was very good and the decor very cool.

Generally the staff were very helpful and made our stay relaxing and welcoming. The hotel itself is in a great location and only 5 minutes (by cab) from Naama Bay. However be prepared to haggle hard before you get into the cabs. They can't afford to refuse the business so make sure you start with a low figure.

If we return to Sharm again then I will definitely consider staying at this hotel.

A week in Sharm was our big holiday choice for the summer of 2011 and we definitely took our time choosing a resort. Based on reviews and location we decided the Hyatt Regency and I would definitely stay there again. The Resort is self contained which is lovely, just be sure to expect hotel prices, you have live shows (which are a little lacking), a few restaurants and lots of shops. You really wouldn't need to leave if you didn't want to. The pools are all well maintained and nice to sit by but I really enjoyed the beach portion the most. A bit disappointed that the swimming section is so limited but I highly recommend renting fins and a snorkel mask and paddling around! The fish are really something to see.

The rooms are a bit dated but big enough to make this detail disappear, with all the amenities you would expect from a Hyatt Regency. The biggest downfall of this hotel is its service standard. We booked a king seaview room and when we showed up we were put in a twin room with the beds pushed together. We had requested before our stay that we wanted an actual kingsize bed and not two twins pushed together (who likes sleeping in the crack for that price?!) so we were pretty upset that this had been ignored. They ended up moving us to a ground floor room way in the back with a lovely view of...bushes. For the amount of money we paid we thought this was pretty unacceptable so we kept at it, calling them every so often to check on our room status) and the next day they finally found us a beautiful seaview kingsize room and moved everything for us. Was incredibly frustrating though as nothing starts a holiday off wrong like room issues! They didn't seem too responsive at first and we really had to keep at them for any help, we found this to be the case throughout all aspects of service in the hotel during our stay.

All in all I would definitely go back to the Hyatt, I would just be a bit more insistent about the the room order. It's one of the best resorts on the Bay so if it's an option, stay here! Na'ama Bay is only a free shuttle away.
