Renaissance Sharm El Sheikh Golden View Beach Resort - Sharm el Sheikh

The hotel staff were very professional and friendly, always smiling and willing to offer their assistance. The Resort was beautiful, peaceful and tranquil! Everything was perfect and the Christmas/New Year Decor made me feel like I was staying in a 5-star hotel back home in the U.S.

We spent four nights at the hotel. The hotel is well kept in the main building and satisfactory regarding the rooms. The first negative issue we noticed was that there was rust in the running water. Before each bath we had to let the water run for a minute before it completely cleared. I guess they used steel pipes to do their plumbing. Just to be on […] the safe side we didn't even brush our teeth with running water but used bottled instead. The food overall was not exceptional and the variety a bit poor. To be fair though i spoke to other people staying at nearby five star hotels and they had about the same comments about the food. Had dinner twice at Naama Bay restaurands and ended up with the same impression. Word of advice to anyone about to use a taxi or buy something. Negotiate all prices even if they seem low and this includes the various services (like massage) and tour operators in the hotel premises. They will offer a discount without being asked, you should target a lot less. If you are going for an excursion make sure that you have most of the things you need before you leave the hotel. We payed triple the price renting wetsuits at the Blue Hole than what we could pay at the hotel's dive centre. Of course this has nothing to do with the hotel but i wish someone told me before. Some rates you should know: Taxi from airport to hotel not more than 180 Egypt pounds. Taxi from Naama bay to hotel about 40. Read more

we went there second time as a couple, after been there x-mas with the family. The breakfast is great and the beach too, especially after they stopped the tour sales canvassing on the beach. Gym is a bit claustrophobic, but for us the jogging route makes good for the gym. It was difficult to change money, since we had only Canadian dollar. The banks […] at the Mercado do not take it and had long line ups, the Money machines in the hotel were out of service for two days, and the souk we did not want to go since they had the shooting there last week were a German and a French tourist did die. During our week 5 tourist were taken hostage in two incidents at the monastery and released a day later. Read more

it is a great hotel with great staff and great location, in a few words it is a money well spent.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The service was great. The diving center (Divein) inside the hotel was a plus. The food, the seaview, the hospitality were all great. The location is near to the Old Souk, Markato, and Ne'ma Bay. The prices were very competitive.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was fine. The rate was average/high compared to others in the neighborhood. It is a good distance from the center of activities in Naama Bay. The gym is not up to speed. The buffet was not outstanding, but the basics were there.

This is a hotel which has clearly suffered in recent years. Service is non existent, upkeep is lacking and the general atmosphere is noxious. The rooms are fine and the food is surprisingly ok (the Mexican was good, main buffet not so)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

FOOD AND BEVERAGE ARE THE ONLY ISSUES:- THE MAIN BUFFET IS GOOD FOR BREAKFASTS. HOWEVER EVEN ALLOWING FOR THE USUAL LIMITATIONS APPLICABLE TO BUFFETS AND THE CULTURAL RESTRICTIONS (EG NO ALCOHOL FOR FLAVOURING) THE EVENING SERVICE IS UNAPPETISING AND SUB-STANDARD FOR A 5* RATING BEVERAGE PRICES ARE 30% ABOVE VFM LEVEL, THE TWO SPECIALIST RESTAURANTS […] ACUPULCO JOES AND IL PALIO ARE 3/4* AT BEST. THE OVERALL STAR RATING IS THEREFORE 4 MINUS. Read more

Excellent hotel. Would recommend. Cons: expensive internet & choice of food limited.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I have stayed in many hotels both in England and abroad but I have never stayed in a hotel with staff who were as friendly, and yes, warm hearted as the staff in the Rennaisance, Sharm El Sheikh. They were utterly delightful and I was genuinely sorry to say goodbye. I hope their mamagement appreciate what exceptional staff they have! The only negative […] are the extremely steep steps from our room to to main building. But, if climbing stairs isn't a problem I would highly recommend this hotel. Read more

Very nice, clean, comfortable hotel. Friendly staff in all areas couldn't be more helpful. Beautifully laid out and maintained gardens, nice pool areas. Pontoon over the reef for excellent snorkelling. Two minor points: in the buffet restaurant, staff weren't always clear about the priorities to be given to their various duties (serving drinks versus […] clearing tables for example) and occasionally guests were left waiting slightly longer than necessary. Also the wifi service is not what is expected these days. There is no wifi in rooms (only cable). Free wifi is available by one of the pools but it is very slow, and the charge for use in other areas is exorbitant. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very pleasant large hotel resort offering a wide range of facilities and amenities to make a thoroughly enjoyable holiday experience. Everything was easily available and within easy reach of shops, bars and restaurants. Only downside of the holiday was the constant 'hassle' of the locals trying to persuade you to buy things or for 'tips' and whilst […] most of the time they accepted in the end a polite 'no', on a couple of occasions they could get rather rude and aggresive. Some things were very nice and you might be interested in buying them but the way they go about it just puts you off, shame they can't see that. Read more

Really pleasant experience staying at the Renaissance. The staff were very friendly throughout the hotel from reception to housekeeping. It was very reasonably priced and it was very quiet so enabled us to relax. We enjoyed it very much. The Italian restaurant was good and the rest of the dining was adequate without being superb. We ate out fairly regularly […] as the choice was better and didn't want to be tied down to the hotel. Although situated on the sea front there really isn't a 'proper beach' although a beach environment does exist above sea level (due to a rocky front). There is a pontoon to get into the sea. Overall would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a friendly hotel with decent facilities and good accommodation. Read more

My wife & I just returned from a weeks stay at this hotel. From the outset, the service was 5*, the staff were all very helpful, polite & accomodating. The resort itself is being updated in certain areas e.g.during the week of our stay the main pool was closed, fortunately there are other smaller pools dotted around the resort. Unfortunately due to […] some freak weather the jetty was also damaged, which meant no snorkelling - part of the reason we'd travelled to the Red Sea region. This has however been fixed. The rooms, I would class as more 4*, the furniture is fairly dated, and old. The TV's were the big old style ones, and there was no wireless internet access. In our suite we had a built in "MFI" style kitchen, though the hotel have a sign at the entrance saying that outside shopping is forbidden - so that was confusing. I wasnt happy that there wasnt even a basic kettle for us to make tea or coffee with, it was all room service. One final point on the rooms, there was no iron, we had to keep calling room service when we needed it. All the bad aside, would I go back here... YES, the key thing to remember is your going to AFRICA and not Las Vegas or London. Standards do vary, but the food, staff & location are brillitant. Don't pay more than 120 LE for a taxi to or from the airport as thats about the max rate. Oh and make sure you check out the house reef (we snorkelled for 20mins on the day of check out) its an amazing trip & just as nice as Ras Mohamed National Park. Read more

Very nice resort, helpful and friendly staff even got invited out to join a few of the waiters on their break and I would have if we didn't have an excursion booked. Extremely impressed with cleanliness and range of services. Only 10 minute cab ride to Nama bay (which I highly recommend only visiting in the evening) and 15 from airport and soho square. […] Some of the best snorkelling I did in Egypt was off the hotel jetty, saw a manta ray! Would happily stay here if I visit sharm el sheikh in the future. Also very stringent security to enter the hotel, which I didn't see anywhere else other than the savoy, although they didn't have bomb trained sniffer dogs. Read more

Very nice hotel .Helpful and friendly staff. Booked room with double bed but got two singles through out the stay. I will recommend this hotel to friends because of the locality and comfort.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel could be much better if they increased the hotel services, maintenance of the Rooms and some Variety on the breakfest. however, the location of the hotel is close of one of the diving sites called Ras Katy which is very nice

BEEN TO THIS HOTEL 3 TIMES NOW, VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE UPKEEP OF THE HOTEL, BATHROOM SINKS WERE ALMOST FALLING OUT WITH BLACK SILICONE AROUND THEM AND TILES WERE BLACK. SEATING IN THE RESTAURANT WERE FILTHY AND THIS WAS NOTICED BY ANOTHER COUPLE. I DID NOT EAT IN THE RESTAURANT AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT AS THE FOOD HAS COMPLETELY GONE DOWNHILL.

As usual, the service, the staff and the quality of the food were great. I came here before and will surely come back.

This is our third stay at the Renaissance Sharm El Sheikh Golden View Beach Resort. We will go back again. The welcome is always friendly, the staff attentive and the facilities excellent. There are four pools but only one of these, near Acapulo Joe's restaurant, is heated so in the later autumn winter months the others can be chilly! Given its location […] at the top of the headland it's a fair trek to the bright lights of Naama bay (4 km) where the chain restaurants and 'all you can eat' English breakfasts can be found. This is one of the benefits of this hotel. If you're looking for late nights and partying then this is not for you. If you are a couple or a family with young children whose wish is to relax and enjoy the sunshire and good service then this is definitely for you. Read more

I went there to enjoy Sharm el sheikh and relax and I totally found what I wanted. The place is beautiful, the hotel staff is very pleasant and the rooms very comfortable. The little beach and the pools are simply enough to enjoy. And the end of the afternoon in the spa is sooooo nice. I recommand this hotel for sure!

This hotel was fantastic. Very clean, professional and welcoming we enjoyed our stay immensely.

Me and my girlfriend spent one week at this hotel and really enjoyed it. we only had brekfast at the hotel and never dinner. the brekfast was like it always is in egypt, pancaces, omeletts, sweets, fruit and lots more. we really liked the hotel, specially the area where you have some of the best snorkling in sharm just round the corner (el fanar) and […] the quiet evenings away from nama bay. the room we had was one with seaview and it was really nice (the view that is) and the room itself was ok. clean but nothing extravagant. the service and help from the staff was really good. we enjoyed it, go there!

The service at the hotel was very good. My Egypt Air flight landed without my luggage and the concierge team were extremely helpful in assisting me getting my luggage back to the hotel. I found everyone I came in contact with at the hotel very helpful and friendly. Additionally, I found it extremely beneficial to have the Roxy Tour Company and the PADI […] Dive centre on site. I found the hotel to have a good variety of restaurants on site and the pools and the hotel site itself very well maintained and pleasant however the rooms were a bit 'tired' and the mini-bar was not stocked (had to ring to get it stocked but it was dealt with within an hour of my call).

Our 3rd visit in 5 years. Hotel is wonderful, with a staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. Always happy and willing to help in whatever way. The Renaissance is a beautiful hotel with magnificent views out to sea. The food in the Ocean restaurant (buffet) is fresh and tasty with a choice to suit all tastes. We have never returned to a hotel 3 times […] ever but the Renaissance has everything we could wish for on holiday. We travelled with our two grown up children 19yrs and 24yrs and the holiday was a real delight. Would recommend this hotel to anyone - I always call it my little piece of paradise!! Read more

It was very quiet when we were there, a combination of the killer shark problems in the area, the Arab Spring and the worldwide recession. Nevertheless the hotel offered a full range of services and the quality and friendliness of the staff is of a very high standard. The hotel is about 7 years old and the bedrooms / bathrooms need refurbishment if […] they are to compete with newer hotels opening around the world. This is a global marketplace. The Red Sea offers superb diving, resort hotels and guaranteed sunshine so it matters very little about the external surroundings. The only area of dissatisfaction indeed is with some fellow hotel guests who treat very intelligent and hardworking people as their slaves. They are fortunately in the minority. This is a very good hotel and we would definitely return. Read more

Min veninde og jeg tilbragte påsken 2013 på dette fantastiske hotel. Vi havde booket et 7-dages ophold med morgenmad inkluderet. Og vi blev ikke skuffede.

Vi är en familj på 2 vuxna och 2 barn som bodde 6 nätter på fina Renaissance Golden View Beach. Vi hade bokat 2 dubbelrum, ett till oss vuxna och ett till barnen. Direkt vid ankomst blev vi uppgraderade till rum med havsutsikt och fick rum som dessutom låg direkt intill varandra. Personalen var alltigenom fantastisk: "serviceminded", hjälpsam och trevlig. […] Hotellanläggningen är stor (men överskådlig) och ligger på en sluttning ner mot havet. Många trappor att avverka varje dag mellan stranden längst ner och reception/restaurang/pool längst upp – så det är inte att rekommendera för personer med rörelsehinder. Läget vid havet är helt fantastiskt. Korallrev direkt utanför stranden som man når genom en pontonbrygga. Vi snorklade flera gånger varje dag. Fantastiskt klart vatten och rikt på färgsprakande fiskar. Det finns några restauranger inom hotellområdet men de vänder sig främst till all-inclusive-gäster, även om man som "non-inclusive-gäst" också kan köpa sina måltider där. Vi valde att ta taxi till Old-Sharm eller Naama Bay om kvällarna, gå på shopping och välja bland massor av restauranger (med bra mat i alla segment). Taxi är billigt och det står alltid några bilar utanför hotellporten och väntar. Hotellet är känt som Mariott Renaissance för taxichaufförerna. Vi hade en underbar tid i Sharm och kan gärna tänka oss att boka vår nästa resa dit och boendet på Renaissance Golden View Beach! Read more

Goede ligging, met een rif voor de deur. Daarnaast diverse zwembaden, waarvan gelukkig ook 1 verwarmd. Ruim aanbod in faciliteiten, van spa en maasages tot restaurants. Vooral het mexicaanse resturant ligt geweldig, tussen zee en zwembad in. Wel een erg ruim opgezet hotelcomplex, je mist daardoor soms wat sfeer.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Me and my husband spent four lovely days together in Sharm El Sheikh. We especially enjoyed the fact that the hotel is situated very close to the sea and the amazing coral reef. This gave us the possibility of snorkeling by the reef whenever we wanted - amazing experience! Bring your own snorkeling equipment if you have such. Also, the service at the […] hotel is outstanding - the staff really did everything they could to give us the best service possible. For example, upon arriving, we were upgraded to a better room (a family suite) free of charge, and were also allowed to check in to our suite early in the morning. Since we arrived very early in the morning, we were happy to find two plates of breakfast in our suite, even though breakfast on our arriving day was not included. Later we unfortunately had some bad luck with our suite, when reparations were made in the room next to ours. This caused a strong smell of fresh paint coming into our suite and made it impossible for us to stay there. But, after we discussed the matter with the desk manager (who understood and took it very seriously) he directly helped us to move to another suite - plus gave us a lovely dinner at the hotel's restaurant free of charge. So, we are very happy to recommend this hotel to others and would love to stay there another time! Read more

Besoin de reservation une journee a l'avance et la plupart des restaurants n'ont pas de cartes plutot buffet. + resto Italien tres bon! Ambiance romantique! Bon service! (a reserver au moins une nuit a l'avance) - restaurant mexicain : a ne PAS recommander! Le service etait pitoyable.. et la nourriture......laisse a desirer. Attention : si vous sortez du resort, etablir un tarif avec le conducteur de taxi avant depart. Read more
