Sharm Prestige Room 52 - Luxury sea view at coral bay vs Similar Hotels

Complaints regarding outdated and sometimes dirty rooms, especially in the 'new' area.

Several room-related problems reported (AC too hot/noisy/blowing hard, safe box and minibar not working, bathroom issues, no lock on main door in one case) that lower the room score despite otherwise good stays.

Spacious room with all necessary amenities.

Mixed reviews about cleanliness, with observations of dirty rooms despite the overall care of the resort.

Multiple reviewers explicitly note the structure is clean and 'pulizia tutto ok'; overall housekeeping and public areas are reported as well maintained.

Nice clean hotel, but some concerns about thoroughness.

Positive comments on the location with great beach access and a beautiful reef.

Reef and private beach are standout positives ('spectacular reef', 'spiaggia privata bellissima'), though some mention difficult beach access, crowded areas and shuttle capacity issues.

Convenient location with nice views from top floor rooms.

General positive sentiment regarding the staff’s friendliness and attention to customer needs.

Very strong praise for staff by name (reception, F&B, entertainment, lifeguards) and described as gentilissimi/very helpful; one isolated report of poor problem-solving/management but majority celebrate excellent service.

Staff were exceptionally helpful, with special recognition for Hamada Saeed.

Food quality noted as a bit low with some variety, but improvements could be made.

Multiple strong compliments for restaurants (Al Dente singled out), food quality and attentive F&B staff; overall dining is a highlighted strength.

Food was pretty good, with fresh and warm options.

Good variety of facilities including pools and dining options, though the sheer size can be difficult to navigate.

Extensive amenities praised (restaurants, 24h pub, adults-only pool, entertainment, pools, diving/snorkeling access); some negatives like one non-working water slide and sunbed availability issues.

Good range of amenities including diving and entertainment options.

Concerns about high prices for services and amenities that did not meet expectations for quality.

Explicit mention of 'rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono' and many guests felt the experience justified the price; isolated service/room failures slightly temper perfect marks.

Great value for a hotel of this standard based on overall experience.
