Just to give my review a context, I have holidayed in Sharm four times and stayed in four different properties in the last three years:

Grand Rotana
Hyatt Regency
Sofitel
and finally, Jolie Ville Golf Resort.

I was perfectly happy in all the other resorts, you take the good with the bad and the good always out weighed the bad. I have always managed to get very good deals also, which I think you need to keep in mind when you are less than satisfied.

However, I wouldn't feel right if I didn't let others know that in my experience you can do much better than the Jolie Ville.

The breakfast was not good, the food is all a little bit tired and the standard is certainly not as high as the other hotels I have stayed in. The staff in the breakfast area never offered us tea/coffee proactively, we always had to look for them (in the other 3 hotels they were all over you with refills and even got to know your name). Nobody ever said good morning either, which is in stark contrast to the other hotels I have stayed in.

The restaurants had no atmosphere , whenever we walked in they were dead quiet with no music or buzz about them. We tried the Bistro, the Lebanese Restaurant (the best of them) and then we went into the Chinese Restaurant. The Chinese restaurant had no customers and no music playing with four staff looking at us! We had that feeling of dread and decided to leave and get a taxi to the Grand Rotana next door as they have an Oriental Restaurant there called Silk Road. What a contrast, the doors were opened before us, everyone was saying hello, the staff were extremely nice to us and the Manager came to our table to introduce himself. Quite honestly it was like a joke, as if someone had told them how bad the other hotel was! My husband and I were on holiday with my sister and brother in law and their two kids..............they couldn't believe how gorgeous the Grand Rotana was. We ate there a second night also.

The pool at the Jolie Ville is fine (as are all the grounds, its an old'ish hotel, but clean) but nobody from the bar comes round for drinks orders or lunch orders during the day. Again, in the other three hotels they were always doing the rounds and getting a drink was easy (makes sense too because you order much more and thus spend more money with them!)

The taxi situation in the hotel is ridiculous too. You order a taxi at the concierge desk as you normally would in a hotel. They then send you out to a hut where you are harassed about the price! Its as if you are in the centre of the town! Our taxi from Jolie to Rotana cost £65 Egyptian, and from Rotana to Jolie £25.

We asked to meet the Manager, better to give honest feed back face to face I would have thought. The Manager was too busy and would not meet us! I hate any kind of stress on holiday (whats the point?) so we just decided to forget about it and left the hotel every evening to eat off site.

Again, all I can say is that there are much better hotels in Sharm for in and around the same money. The great thing about holidaying in Sharm is the lovely friendly staff and the attentive service. I'm afraid I cannot say this about the Jolie Ville and I think I am well qualified to remark as I have experienced other hotels nearby.

recently returned from a two week visit to this hotel and all I can say is that is was fantastic. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the rooms huge and the service very good, We stayed on half board basis and can honestly say the food was very good, ,Breakfast was buffet service and there is something for all tastes and plenty of it. Dinner is based on a theme such as oriental or mediteranean so its not the same food night after night and they never serve chips!
you also have the choice of a chinese or a lebanese restaurant. There is nightly entertainment which consists of two girls singing (sounds like karaoke only not as good) and then a show which iis different every night., saw belly dancing and guy who stood on broken glass, none of it brilliant but it was entertaining,
There is a kids club which was pretty good and ran most of the day. There was an amazing sight at the back of the hotel where there is steps down to the beach and the jettys onto the red sea, it was gorgeous. The pools in the hotel are amazing i have never seen so many, there is a lazy river that runs round them all and it was lovely. There are water slides and play areas for the children, big and small.
Taxis from Naama a little hair raising and they will try and get you to pay a lot but definetely should not pay more than 50 egyptian pounds.
Prices for dirinks around the pool a little pricey but hey this is a 5 star hotel. Just stock up at the supermarkets in Naama.
Take note this is not the place to go if you want to drink good wines etc with dinner, the egyptian wine is 18 pound a bottle and it is rubbish. We do enjoy a glass of wine but alcohol consumption was greatly reduced here. Not complaining though every thing else so good.
if You want to go to Sharm I would definetely suggest you go here.

Got a very good deal for a week's stay at the Jolie Ville Golf & Resort in Sharm el-Sheikh. Breakfast included. We had three standard rooms all facing the inner court yards. All our rooms had a large balcony, well-stocked minibar, nice beds, big, marbled bathroom, tv with many international channels and the rooms were large. They were cleaned daily and even if you returned home to your room around midday, housekeeping was done. That was a relief from other hotels where housekeeping often is not done until late afternoon.

The hotel and the hotel-grounds are large, spacious and clean. Reception is polite but tended to be a bit slow upon check in. The concierge's people were all very helpful and polite and for a small tip (10 EGP) even nicer and helpful. But let me say that they were nice and polite and serviceminded also without the tip. We used them to take care of certain arrangements we had where we needed a private car, and although the prices were higher had we hailed the cab ourselves, we did not feel ripped off.

There are two large pools on the grounds, the main pool being VERY large, with a lazy-river running all the way around the fine area around the pool. Water was clean and pool and pool-area were cleaned daily. Fresh towels were easily obtained from any number of manned towel-stations around the grounds. There are palmtrees, bourgainvillea-flowers and green grass-areas all around. At the main pool near the water slide there was an animation-desk and a "Snoopy-club" and while the adults got a tiny bit tired with the animation-gals yelling into their mikes at all times, the kids seemed to like it and there was always a lot going on.

We were many nationalities and none stuck out as being too loud, too silly, too drunk or too much. All kids were well-behaved and we didn't experience any bad things around the pool, in the hotel, the restaurants or at the beach.

It takes about five minutes to climb down to the gorgeous beach-area with several wooden jetties leading to an amazingly beautiful coral-reef. There were plenty sunbeds and you can also lounge on either of the jetties. There were restaurants at the beach as well as barservice and several showers where you could wash off the salt from the sea. There is also a small divecenter where you can book diving or rent snorkel-gear. The friendly Abdou in the diving center laughed at us for not buying our own snorkel-gear as we ended up renting each day. It was rather pricey, and Abdou adviced us to get our own already the first day, but ended up giving us a discount a huge grin the last day. The areas on the beach with sun-loungers is divided into several parts and it didn't feel crowded when we were there, although it is not by any means the largest beach areas we've been to. There is a small sandy patch by the waters where smaller kids can splash around, but other than that, it is only deep waters with reefs. Our five year old in the group loved it after a day of getting adjusted.

Breakfast at the hotel was buffetstyle and there was everything: eggs, sausages (chicken or beef), baked beans, cereals, cakes, croissants, fruits, omelets, oriental style stuff, cheese, bread, vegetables, juices, coffee, tea and much much more. The busy waiters kept the place relatively nice and were quick to change the food around, and we could make the breakfast last until evening. The coffee was good.

The Ascot bar had even better coffee, good beer and was a fine place to relax before bed or before dinner. Nothing much went on there and it was also more expensive than in Naama Bay, but we went there a couple of times and had a nice time with snooker, listening to the jazz-band (not the best band in the world) and talking.

We ate at the Jolie Bistro and at the Lebanese Restaurant across the street in the golf-section of the hotel. We were taken there in a small buggy and also picked up again. It is pricey to eat at the restaurants, but they had nice food. The dinner entertainment is horrendous with two ladies singing evergreen but not singing very good. We just had a laugh about it. We went to Naama a couple of times using the free shuttle at 6 PM. Took it back to the hotel at 11 PM, just when Naama began to get pumping.

All in all we had a very relaxing week at Jolie Ville Golf and experienced nothing but good atmosphere, nice service and wonderful weather, topping at 40 degrees the last days we were there.

This hotel is located a short drive to the airport but a long drive to Naama, Old Market or Hadaba. There are no taxis, so you have to arrange driving with the concierge or walk to the security man who sits in a booth before you go into the square in front of the hotel, and have him call you one. This is also where you will be dropped off when you arrive home with a taxi from Naama.

From the Main Road (Peace Road) there is several kilometers drive to the security booth/hotel, so you cannot walk down to Peace Road and hail a cab yourself. This is one of the only drawbacks of the hotel, along with the fact that there is nothing there except for the hotel. The hotel has a shop with a large selction of stuff, but it is expensive. We could have used a supermarket, but then again, we went to Naama and did some shopping anyway, so it wasn't anything that ruined our vacation.

Nice big rooms, lovely hotel. Beautiful and I mean beautiful grounds. BreAkfasts are amazing. Wont say too much more except grounds were fantastic see photos...
Location about 10 mins from strip by taxi. Close to airport (approx £5 fare)
