This was our 3rd time at Aqua Blu and was overall an improvement on previous stays. We were here for three weeks and had a great time. The room was comfortable and clean and where we requested, near to the Med/Asiatique restaurants (rooms beginning with 7)


The food was good at the Mediteranean, Asiatique and Italian restaurant with us opting not to use the Cave De Roi as it is very hectic and was furthest away from our room. There was plenty of choice, the Kebabs at L'Asiatique on Thursday night are very good!

The hotel has 2 new bars since our last visit in 2011, including the Biliard Bar which was completed whilst we were there. There is also a new coffee bar serving cakes and ice cream. The beer (Sakora) and wine was good, we didn't bother with the spirits. The range of spirits could be better as it is limited to vodka, gin, rum, bacardi, brandy, whisky and a handful of cocktails. Would expect to see Malibu, peach scnapps etc added to the range in the future. Champions pub, just outside the hotel is good and good value as you can use the internet and play pool for free.

There is a new childrens swimming pool with slides and bar. Kids free ice cream is now served here and the Elephant Bar by the other kids pool has been removed. The wave pool, at the centre of the complex is the place to be, but you need to be up early to get a seat here!! Elsewhere there are plenty of sun loungers.

Some of the rooms were being refurbished whilst we were there and there seems to be a general programme of repair and renewal in place with various ares being touched up. The Cowboy Bar (late disco) was also being refurbished whilst we were there.

The entertainment was better than last year with the Fakir show a highlight. Mini Disco is every evening at around 8:00pm which is good for the younger kids.

I would suggest booking a transfer to the hotel online as haggling at the airport on arrival is the last thing you want and you can easily be stung for £30. The hotel now has its own taxis so getting about is quite cheap, LE30 to the Old Market and LE150 for a taxi to the airport for 4 people with 4 cases and 4 cabin bags.

Overall a good stay, steadily improving qualty and facilities and friendly, helpful staff. Excellent value for the price and we hope to return again in the future.

We returned end of January and could not fault this hotel. I honestly don't know where some people usually eat - The Ivy?! We could not fault the food at all and it was some of the best food that we have experienced at an all inclusive resort.
We are a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids (aged 4 years old and a 6 month old baby). Not 1 of us had a dicky tummy. The fact that you could get plenty of bottled water from all the restaurants and housekeeping stocked the fridge up daily made it easy to drink "safe" water. The hotel was spotless as were the rooms and all the staff worked tirelessly to endeavour that we had a brilliant time. All the staff were fantastic with the kids and always were friendly and called us "Boss". I agree with what other people have said that if you treat them with respect you will get it in return I never saw any staff member being less than civil even when some of the british were being with them. Yep Mohammed was a bit pushy with the trips but he was also helpful with the local information so cut him some slack he is just trying to make a living and a simple "no thanks" is suffice.
The top kiddies pool was quite cold so wasn't heated nor was the quiet pool by the 8 water bungalows but the rest of them were fine and the smaller kiddies pool at the main complex was lovely and warm.
We were upgraded to one of the water bungalows which was massive and stunning, we didn't have a cot in it when we first arrived but a call to reception and just ten minutes later a guy came with one with sheets and it wasn't just a travel cot it was a proper solid wood sturdy cot. Also there was no plug for the bath but again after asking at reception the next day we had one delivered, well it fit the sink but again after explaining ourselves again they returned promptly with a bath one. Like most places they do really well understanding and speaking English far better than my egyptian which does not exist so how can you have a go at them for not being fluent in English like some people have on this site. I also received a lovely chocolate cake in our room for my birthday and the bed had been scattered with flowers and a personalised scroll had been left for me, it was such a lovely touch. And no-one had prompted them to do it.
It is a bit scruffy just outside the hotel and on the way to the beach but again its Egypt so you have to expect it not to be as clean as England.
The shops just outside the hotel are great, really helpfull and not that expensive even for pampers nappies which were about £3 for 9, which was much better than what I had thought as I was running low the last couple of days.
The rose wine was nice and so was the beer and the coffee's and cakes at the coffee bar opposite the Asian restaurant were gorgeous, better than a Costa!
All in all we got a cheap late deal and I can honestly say that I would have quite happily paid brochure price for this hotel, its great for the kids and for us bigger kids!! Can't comment on the nightlife as after a full day on the slides we were all shattered by 9pm. We would be hard pushed to beat this holiday however our 4 year old might expect this standard of holiday everytime now!!

We stayed at Aqua Blu Sharm in February 2012 for 11 nights and it was even better than we expected. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The food in all the restaurants was excellent. We especially liked the Indian / Chinese restaurant where the chefs were actually from India and China so the food was very authentic. I would even go as far as to say it was the best curry I had ever had and the tandoori chicken and shish kebabs were the best as well. Also the pizzas in the Italian restaurant were great. The staff were lovely and bent over backwards for us.
The water park is the best one we have ever been to and believe me we have been to ones all over the world. If I can pick one fault it would be that they were not all heated and it was a bit of a shock when you hit the water on a few of them but really it just added to the fun of it!
The kids pools and slides were brilliant. We took our 3 year old and he absolutely loved it.
We had one of the best holidays ever at this resort and we are looking to book again for later in the year. I would highly reccomend it to anyone but especially families with children.

Dont no why people go abroad and expect it to be like been in England,STAY AT HOME !!!! We are a family ov 12 from ages 11 months/ 43years n we all enjoyed every minute ov it .The cleanliness ov the hotel overall was to a very high standard.The staff through out the hotel were always very helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble for them .the animation team worked very hard all the time and always fun to be around .The food was always hot n fresh n well presented ( if u want english food everyday then stay in england )Their was always plenty ov selection ov salad,vegetables,meat,soups,rice,pasta,n puddings everyday ,my 13 year old daughter who is a very picky eater never went hungry and enjoyed it .
the water slides n pools n wave pool was good too with plenty ov lifeguards always keepin n eye on the swimmers ,
The rooms were always kept to n high standard n kept well clean .
The occasional tip is always welcome to bar n cleaning staff as they earn very little .
The is nothing i can fault this hotel for n WILL deffinatly be going back .
WELL DONE AQUA BLU for making our holiday pleasent n enjoyable xx
