    Pros and cons of my one-week stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 7 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    The downsides of my week-long stay include the room furnishings and bathroom, which really need updating. Everything is solid and meets your needs, but a hotel of this caliber deserves better. It's very clean, though. They gave me a room with a sea view, which I really liked. The food is very good, but I think you'll get bored after a week because it's so repetitive. The only snacks are hamburgers and fries. I was expecting something like ice cream. But overall I was very pleased and it exceeded my expectations.

    Here are the positive aspects of my week-long stay: The location is super, right next to Soho Square, and you can find everything you need. It's also close to the airport. The food is delicious. There's always a variety of meat, fish, and chicken and beef..., but it's always repetitive, meaning the same dishes always appear. If you stay longer than a week, you'll get bored. The staff is very nice. Aschraf from room cleaning and Mohamed sish from the restaurant took great care of me. The reception service was also very good. If I come back to sharm el sheikh, I'll definitely come back to this hotel. That's why I give it a 9 out of 10.

    There were some issues with door handles, and the furniture and plumbing were a bit dated — like in many places in Egypt — but the staff was very responsive and quickly fixed any problems we reported.

    We stayed at the hotel as a family and were very pleased with our experience! Although there were sometimes lines at the meat and fish stations during lunch and dinner, if you came 30–60 minutes later, there was usually no wait at all. Special thanks to the staff — cleaning was always timely, they helped us find a table, were polite, offered drinks, and even played with our child, which was very nice! It was occasionally difficult to find a free sunbed on the beach, but with a bit of effort, it was always possible. Non-alcoholic drinks were available and freely accessible. We didn’t try the alcoholic options. The à la carte restaurant came highly recommended, but unfortunately, we didn’t manage to visit it. The reef is beautiful, though the pier could get crowded at peak times. Swimming beyond the buoys is not allowed, but even within the designated area you can see a lot of marine life. The evening entertainment and mini-disco were a bit repetitive, but our child enjoyed taking part, and we had a chance to relax during that time — a great format for families with kids. We also appreciated the walking distance to the central shopping square — it was easy to go for a stroll, change the scenery, and pick up some souvenirs or necessities. Summary: An excellent hotel for a family vacation. There are a few minor things to keep in mind when planning your day, but overall the impression is very positive. Cozy, clean, tasty food, and friendly staff. We were happy with our stay and would gladly return!

    None… really enjoyed my stay and so did my family

    I had a truly wonderful experience during my stay. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond expectations, offering genuine hospitality throughout. Special thanks to Mr. Ahmed Nagy from the reception and Mr. Mahmoud El Shennawy for their outstanding support. Mr. Amir at the Italian restaurant provided an exceptional dining experience — the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious. A big thank you as well to Mr. Mohamed Osama, the golf car driver, for being so helpful and friendly. The hotel facilities were excellent, and the room was clean and comfortable. The variety of activities provided made the stay even more enjoyable — great job to the animation team for keeping things fun and engaging. Overall, the food quality was impressive, especially at the Italian restaurant, which truly stood out for its exceptional cuisine. Many thanks to all the respectful and dedicated staff for making our stay so memorable.

    there are a couple of areas that could use improvement. The rooms felt quite old and in need of renovation, which affected the overall comfort. Also, the food lacked variety, which made dining a bit repetitive, especially for longer stays. With some updates to the rooms and more diverse food options, this hotel could offer an excellent all-around experience. Still, the service and location make it worth considering.

    What stood out the most for me was the exceptional staff—they were consistently friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. Their warm hospitality truly made a difference. Another major highlight was the location. It was conveniently situated, making it easy to explore the surrounding area and access everything I needed during my stay. If I ever return, it will definitely be because of the amazing staff and the unbeatable location. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming and well-placed place to stay.

    1.The food mostly tasteless except the Italian Restaurant was extraordinary . 2. The hotel will be excellant with remodeling. The furnatures are very old. 3. The hotel needs extra golf cars to help guests reach the resturants and other facilities. The area of the hotel is large and beautiful. 4. The beach needs extra sandy space for swimming. At least 10 meters width and 300 meters length. 5. The diving area is excellant but will be better if it is larger. 6. The hotel needs a new chef who is welling to taste his own coocking before serving it to people. The fruits are un ripe and rasteless as well. Will be better to be used for juices and fruit salad with syrups. 7. Please put a note that you will charge guests 10 dollars for waisting food. Each person is required to finish the food in their plates and pay for wasted food.

    The buffet was repetitive, not much variety. The reception had a very weird bad smell (probably the air freshener but it is very bad).

    If you have a great people, all your problems will be solved

    I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding experience I had during my recent stay at Island View Resort. Staff truly went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction throughout my visit. First and foremost, I must commend Mr. Saeed Al Haddad for his exceptional service. His dedication to guest satisfaction is truly remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to interact with him. He exemplifies professionalism and is always willing to go the extra mile to assist guests. Any issue or concern I encountered during my stay was promptly addressed and resolved, thanks to Mr. Haddad's expertise and attentiveness. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Tamer at the reception desk. His warm welcome and efficient assistance made check-in a breeze, setting a positive tone for my entire stay. Additionally, Mr. Ahmed provided invaluable assistance when I needed to arrange a car rental. His helpful recommendations and seamless coordination made the process effortless and stress-free. On top of the exceptional service provided by your staff, I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food served at Island View. From breakfast to dinner, each meal was a delightful culinary experience. The variety and freshness of the dishes exceeded my expectations, and I savored every bite. Overall, my experience at Island View resort surpassed all expectations, thanks in large part to your dedicated and professional staff members. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Saeed Haddad, Mr. Tamer, Mr. Ahmed, and the entire team for their outstanding hospitality. I look forward to returning to Island View in the future and experiencing more of the excellent service and amenities that your hotel has to offer.

    The room is a little pit old but any way it’s comfortable.

    I like the location, the stuff is really friendly and helpful and the food was good and many types. The visitor does not need to go on a boat trip to see the coral reefs or dive, because it is possible for the person to stay here on the hotel’s beach, and this is what distinguishes its wonderful location.
