Returned to this hotel after staying in 2005 and it was fab again, cant find any fault with location, cleanliness, staff.
I did miss fried eggs/omelettes in the morning the section was closed because of bird flu!!! Hard boiled eggs were available.

The hotel was absolutely fantastic, the facilities were fantastic and it really is a top class hotel.
The staff are very friendly and will help you all they can.
There is lots of pools and the main ones are next to the sea and small beach which has a jetty and the snorkeling is amazing. Watersports are available n there is lots to do through the day.
I didn't really rate the food, except room service was good but my boyfriend loved it and I suppose I am quite picky!!
The entertainment wasn't very good, may have been the time we went but they had a children's disco and a quiz one night but we tended to go into town anyway.
Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Without repeating much of what has already written about the Crowne Plaza, we found the hotel to be everything we were hoping for.
The hotel rooms, common areas and gardens were spotless.
We only ate breakfast and a light lunch at the hotel and found breakfast to be slighty lacking in choice, but lunch at the C view bar was fine.
The location of the hotel was lovely, very peaceful, beach area very nice and sea, well, what can I say!!!
Staff were all absolutely fine, friendly and helpful.
Entertainment non-existent!!
I am sure sometime in the future we will return.

The food was ok only ate once in the Italian found it to be a bit pricey.
C-view bar was good.
The location was excellent right on the world famous garden reef.
The staff were very good.
Did't really see the entertainment so can't really comment.
We would go back.

This is a beautiful Hotel and spread out over a very large area. We stayed in a standard room which was very nice and spacious, with a walk in shower. Housekeeping came everyday.
There is building work going on currently but it is only audible at the beach area, but to be honest it did'nt bother us at all (and i am very picky!).
The Italian restaurant offer the best service and food is very nice.
The C-view restaurant by the beach is also very nice, but expect a slower service as they seem a little more laid back.
The Coral reefs at this hotel are extremely good, there are two jetties to go off, the concrete one to the right of the beach is the better one though.
For a really relaxing night visit the Arabic cafe and laze on the comfy seats smoking a Shisha pipe also known as Hubble Bubble pipes.
This is a fantastic hotel, we will definitely go back one day.

This is a really pretty hotel, with low rise buidings on several levels down to the sea.
It's not that new, so furnishings and rooms were clean and adequate but not plush.
We ate breakfast in the buffet restaurant every day - typical international style buffet food which was fine. We had lunch in the beach bar every day; it was quite cheap, and the food was really good. Mostly barbecue meat or fish. We also ate in the Italian restuarant twice and the Tapas Bar once, and found the food to be really excellent, and good value for money in each. Beer and wine are not cheap, so the overall cost can seem high, but food is reasonable.
The location is great if you want to dive or snorkel - it's right on the Far Garden coral reef and you can swim over the reef straight off the hotel jetty. It's a 10 minute drive into Na'ama Bay, which suited us, but might be incovenient for some people. There's a hotel shuttle bus at 6.30 and 8pm which is free, the hotel taxis are 30LE and local taxis home were usually around 40LE.
All the staff were enthusiastic and helpful. Most spoke excellent English.
We weren't really interested in the entertainment, but there were activities around the pool every day, a dive school and water sports company on site, live music in one or two of the restuarants every day etc.
We'd definitely recommend this hotel, and go back again. The only minus was that they were building the new Sheraton hotel next door, and there was some noise. This is probably inevitable in a growing resort though.

Fab hotel, location great for garden reef off jetty. Staff very friendly and can't help enough.
Room very clean with mini bar fridge (payable locally), safe (no charge).
Food in hotel restaurants (Italian, tapas, c v bbq) was ok so was the room service menu.
There are a lot of steps to get from one level to another but there is a road either side of the hotel that you can walk down to the sea if steps are a problem.
There is building work on hotel next door with noise some days worse than others, it did not spoil our holiday and I would recommend this hotel we are returning in October.
Because of the sheltered location you do not get any choppy seas as we have experienced in other hotels in Sharm it's flat calm great for snorkelling. There is a dive shop on site that does shore dives straight off the jetty.
Entertainment - there is an animation team in hotel who do the usual entertainment around the pool - keep fit, formation dances, pool games etc, there were live singers in the tapas bar and c v bbq bar few nights a week.

The hotel is fabulous and the staff couldn't be more helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return.
The rooms were lovely and were cleaned every day with fresh towels. The surroundings are very palatial and the staff are very hospitable and helpful.
There is no beach as such, but a jetty from which to snorkel and swim. The pools are very clean and beach towels are provided every day on your way to the pool.
When we arrived, a couple who had been there for one week already told us that the food wasn't that great, I have to disagree completely, so obviously this is a very personal thing. There was a huge choice of food and not a chip in sight!
We were half board and both breakfast and dinner were the highlight of the holiday!! In the morning, tell the egg chef how you like your eggs and enjoy endless refills of coffee and tea. In the evening, there was something for every palate. Two evenings out of the seven that we were there, there was a barbecue with lamb koftas and marinated chicken, jacket potatoes, you name it. It was delicious.
There seemed to be mostly Russian and Italian guests in the hotel and there were many families with kids, although not enough kids to annoy anyone! The entertainment team were really good with the kids and it was definitely a child friendly hotel.
The entertainment in the hotel wasn't that spectacular but keep in mind that it was only March. There were two evenings of dancing displays (which the men enjoy!) and the usual guy on a keyboard. But we still had a ball chilling out at the Al Kahwa Arabic cafe which was just outside our room. You can sit here with a coffee or something a bit stronger, smoke a sheesha pipe and just relax.
Despite the lack of entertainment, I would definitely recommend this hotel, I will definitely return.

This was our second visit to the Crowne Plaza this year. I suppose that this says enough really. This hotel is a good 4* +.
The rooms are spacious and clean. The air con is quiet & efficient. You are supplied with everything that you need in the room.
Most things are reasonably priced at this hotel. The drinks in some of the other hotels are pricey, but this is not too bad.
Taxis are inexpensive to get into Naama Bay - about
