Stayed at this hotel June 2007 and had a great holiday. Hotel was definately 4*. Room was spacious and immaculately clean, sheets and towels changed very day. Food was buffet style with different theme each day, they will cook you a fresh omelette for breakfast if required.
Hotel was only 10 mins from airport, hence some aircraft noise but not too much. On busy road but not difficult to cross if going to Sonesta Beach.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. Bags were delivered to room within 10 mins of arriving. I was able to keep room on, on the day of departure for

We stayed at the Sonesta Club from 10 - 24 May 2007, and can't wait to go back!!! We arrived just before dinner but decided to go into town to eat the first night. Check-in was simple, hand over passports given keys to room, safe key, towel cards and water vouchers.
Luggage was brought to our room 5 Min's after we got in. The hotel is spotless, rooms cleaned everyday, and our cleaner had a lot to put up with, couldn't fault it at all!!
The food is a bit samey, breakfast has a selection of cereals, salad, hot food and danish pastries, lunch and dinner was salad, cooked meat rolls, pasta, hot food including local meat dishes and a wide selection of deserts.
The hotel is located in a fab place. You can walk across the road top the Sonesta Beach and through to the beach approx 10 min walk, and a taxi trip to Naama Bay, do not pay more than LE25! The staff are great and can't do enough to help, one of the children broke the flush on the toilet 10 Min's later it was fixed!
No bad comments about the staff at all! Entertainment evenings were put on we went to a Bedouin evening were we ate local food and drinks and a shisha pipe, after we had the spinning man, belly dancers and camels there which kept everyone happy!
Music is played by the pool all day long. The pool is busy but if you put a towel on the sunbed by 8.30am you'll be fine. 3 pools there, a baby pool a pool with waterslides and a pool which has a volleyball net. We're already looking to book again for the end of the year!

We arrived late at night and were too late for breakfast the next day.
Staff were helpful and brought breakfast to our table. They even gave us a takeaway for our teenage son who was still asleep!
The pool area was small and crowded. Many people put sun lounger cushions or just towels on the grassy areas but these lacked shade. You need to get up early, by around 7.15 to ensure a sunbed and shade.
Good value and tasty snacks at the bar. It's about 400 metres away from Sonesta Beach across a busy road but there is a shuttle bus.The pools at the Sonesta beach seemed quieter but we didn't use the beach. Instead we went to the beach near the Red Sea Diving college-easy to get sunbeds all day for a small fee and good to be in the cente of town. Lovely walk along prom from Sonesta Beach-preferable to mad cab drivers.
Fantastic day trip to Luxor-some people already had towels down on the sunbeds as we were leaving at 5am!

The hotel was very clean but needed updating in certain areas. The bar staff were so friendly but always pay for everthing as you go, they get mixed up!!
If you tip the towel man he will keep your favourite sun bed for you. Hotel doctor very good and not too expensive.
Do not use the Diving school at the Sonesta Hotel not very good, loads more to choose from in Naama Bay.
There was no evening entertainment at all even the bar was quiet at night so it closed early.
Breakfast was good but after a few days we got sick of eggs. Food at the bar was ok and not expensive.
We both had massage in health club it was lovely, worth a visit.

This is the best holiday that me and my family have ever been on! As soon as we got home the next day we book a holiday to go back to Sonesta Club in August 06!
We were a bit unsure to go to Egypt after the bomb in sharm but we are glad we did go! The security is excellent!
Ok onto the hotel! Everything was so clean and tidy in the hotel the people were lovely the bar staff and the restaurant staff especially!
Inside the hotel there are are 4 shops and a hairdressers and and a tattoo shop! in the shops they are fixed prices.
The pool excellent! you get your own towels but I would suggest to take your own as well! We made a mistake of not taking our own! There is also a health club inside the hotel.
We were on the second floor and and we were facing the side of the health club and you could see mountains! The room was very basic two single beds pushed together "double" and a single bed in a arch way effect. Beds were a bit solid like but you get that anywhere! In your room was a mini fridge t.v free of charge huge wardrobe! bathroom- shower and toilet, and sink within the bedroom area hairdryer too. Bathroom could do with a make over, air con in you room very very good! and out onto a small balcony!
Restaurant has very nice food, buffet style every night different theme.
Kids club also.
Tried the Sonesta beach a few times beach small but good have to get up early to get a good place. 10min walk from Namm. Cars are mad only two lanes but when it come to the locals its 3 lanes! Taxi ride is a must do its mad! They drive so fast! make sure you put your seat belts on! oh no there is none!
Buy bottled water and take lots of imodioum with you I think you will be needing it in that weather.
Would recommend Sonesta Club! A place you must visit.

Our first impressions of this hotel were "fantastic" we arrived on boxing day and the effort the hotel had made to decorate the place was great.
Our rooms were on the second floor. They were very roomy, plenty of cupboard space and somewhere to sit if you wanted to. The balcony looked out over the Sinai mountains.
The food was the usual buffet style. It wasnt very hot but I think that is quite common. Our buffet meal on New Years Eve was out of this world. I didnt see much evidence of entertainment during the day or evening but this isnt really our sort of thing anyway.
It was mainly full of Italian people. Everywhere was kept clean and tidy. There were a few tourist shops in the hotel. Most things here were at fixed prices. The only thing I would say is you are about 10 minutes from the beach and about another 10 minutes from the heart of Naama Bay.

Stayed in the sonesta club in October. On first impressions we thought it was fantastic, nicely decorated, clean and well presented gardens around the pool area. The room was clean with air conditioning and a balcony. The rooms were cleaned daily.
We went to the beach everyday and were given fresh towels daily, so no need to bring any. Our hotel had a shared private beach with the sonesta beach club. You had to cross a busy road, walk through the beach club to get to the beach (about a 10 minute walk, our exercise for the day!!)
All the hotels along the beach had there own private beach, you could tell if you were an outsider as each hotel had different colour towels. Our beach was by far the smallest and most crowded as it was accommodating two hotels so we just walked along the beach until we found a hotel with the same colour towels as us (the Marriott) and sunbathed there all week which was really nice.
There were restaurants all along the beach and nowhere was too crowded though we were told in the height of the season it

I recently returned from an amazing 2 weeks in Sharm el Sheik. Sonesta Club Hotel was a great place to stay with regards to it's location, cleanliness, quiet rooms, friendly staff etc. I would return to the hotel as it was easy to be there. They did have entertainment throughout the day and night, mainly aimed at the overiding number of Italians who were staying there. As I was mostly diving in the days I cannot comment on how this affected the pool area.
It is worth considering their main customer focus when booking this hotel, if you intend to sit about all day it may become too much.
All in all a perfectly pleasant base.

My family and i have just returned from a two week holiday in Sharm El Sheikh. We stayed at the Sonesta Club Hotel. We found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was well run and we all found it to be of a good standard.
We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and found the selecdtion of food to be acceptable.
As the pound is strong against the Egyotian pound, we foung it very cheap to travel to Naama bay which is where all the restaurants and baars are althouugh from 1800 hours the hotel provides a shuttle bus to the area for 50 pence per person.
The only critisism i have is that i booked this hotel for the kids club but was very dissapointed to find out when there that all the entertainment was in Italian which made it redundant for the kids.
I would not recommend this hotel for the above reason as it was frustrating that we could not enjoy the entertain,ent by day or night.
On the plus side we found Sharm to be a great place for guaranted sun and good diving.

Wanting a relaxing and undemanding one week holiday with guarateed sun, we returned to this hotel for a second time.
The hotel is the other side of the main road from the beach, and although there is a regular shuttle to the beach at the Sonesta Beach Resort (and it is only a 5 minute walk) this makes the hotel generally a little cheaper than those on the other side of the road. Obviously for some, this is an important consideration.
The snorkelling from the beach at at the Sonesta Beach is excellent
We chose the hotel because it had a gym. The Sonesta Beach claims to have one, but this is just a reference to the one at the Sonesta Club. The gym is quite well equipped, air conditioned and usually empty. The health club also has two jacuzzis, a steam room and sauna. A charge is made for the use of the health club - about
