Camel Dive is a perfect dive center. Anything you wish or ask they do it immediately for you with pleasure, smiling face. I was extremely satisfied with their services and definately would choose them again next time. The dives and pick-up service from the hotel was very well organized, requests for preferred dive spots were also considered as much as possible.

Thanks very much for Tiztiana, Rod and Tereza for their excellent job!

luved the camel special...

this was the second time iv been here and cant wait to go back!

We first went to Camel in 2002, and although we didn't go last year, we were very pleased to see last week that it still remains a great place to centre a dive trip.
It never pretends to big a big shiny hotel, but what it lacks on that front, it more than makes up for in friendliness and atmosphere.
The two restaurants both offer great value and good top end if you want to spend a bit more. The Camel bar is still legendary and the Dive centre is always a freindly place for a beer after a day out on and under the water.
Since our last trip they seem to have added another set of double-glazed doors to each bedroom, so there is no noise at all from outside despite being in the centre of town. I note they also have a sound monitor outside so presumably have some agreememnt with local businesses not to turn up the volume too much.
Namma bay unfortuantely is getting more and more tacky, but if you don't stray too far from Camel, you won't be disappointed.

I don't usually do hotel reviews after I've stayed in them, but my stay at the Camel Hotel in January 2008 was impossible to fault, so a proper review is the least I can do.

Location is the best in Sharm - right in the middle of one of the two pedestrian cafe and nightclub strips, yet the rooms are tucked away behind the dive centre and hotel restaurants so were quite secluded. There can be some noise from the nearly nightclub or camel bar but it certainly wasn't significant. If people want complete peace and quiet they will go to a resort out of the centre anyway.

Rooms were large, modern, comfortable with all the facilities you'd expect, and all overlook the hotel pool.

The two hotel restaurants - Pomodoro (italian) and Tandoori (indian) were in my view the best in Sharm, and we tried alot. Reasonably priced, excellent food. It also has an excellent bar that overlooks the main drag that serves awesome cheap drinks and cocktails and is great for chilling out after a dive or people watching.

The dive centre was full of mainly young English guys and girls who lived and breathed diving, and were incredibly helpful and pleasant to deal with. They take care of everything so whether you're doing a scuba course or just want to do some boat dives they sort you out with all equipment you need and put it on the boat \, so all you need to is choose which boat and location you want to go to, and show up.

The hotel also has arrangements with two local beaches where you can chill out on a sunlounge. You can do this by the hotel pool as well, but it's more aimed at dive classes than as a resort pool.

The hotel staff (waiters, dive centre staff, reception) were all genuinely friendly and remembered you and what you'd been doing. The guests also interacted a lot more than usual in hotels as we were mostly all there for a common purpose - diving.

This hotel is perfect for divers, snorkellers or mid to young people who want to be in the centre of the action or to meet other travellers. But if you want a choice of lagoon pools and a kids club, stay at a resort.

Thanks Camel, looking forward to my next stay.
