Iberotel RedSina Resort (ex.Magic World Sharm)

Coral Sea Waterworld in Sharm El Sheikh, the hotel itself is beautiful, with fantastic facilities that make for a super comfortable stay, the grounds are cared for everyday and kept spotless. Every member of staff from the front desk to the restaurant team and the lifeguards, are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. Including the animation team who work hard day and night to make sure there's always something fun happening, keeping everyone entertained, shoutout to Budda who was extremely welcoming and enthusiastic, organising most of the activities making sure to involve as much people as possible. The location of the hotel is great, only 20 minutes from the airport and conveniently close to local attractions like Arab Bucks, The Hard Rock cafe and more, which are within a few minutes walk from the gates of the hotel, with Soho square being only a short drive away. One of the best things about the hotel is that it is beachfront offering amazing views and unique experiences to see incredible marine life just from walking out to the beach and onto the jetty. The rooms are very clean and modern with an incredible balcony view and really friendly cleaning staff who always let on and say Hi. More than likely will be coming back here next year:)

Rooms were clean although well overdue a lick of paint and general fixing around the hotel grounds - wouldn’t call it grand at all. Staff were friendly but do expect a tip for things like mattresses for your sunbeds. Drinks pretty awful all taste like sugar with watered down alcohol. No bottled water around the hotel at all most hotels have fridges filled with bottles of water all over the hotel. 38 degrees heat and you have to queue at the bar for a small plastic cup of water - now wonder people get sick here they’re all dehydrated. First hotel I’ve been to that doesn’t provide drinks in your fridge either just two bottles of water that get replaced everyday. Entertainment during the day does not exist other than darts very very poorly organised. Nothing happening during the day other than bad pool music. Every other Tui hotel has various day time entertainment this just was so flat and boring. Night time entertainment was dire couldn’t even see it tiny little stage can’t even call it a stage no lighting so barely visible crappy little dance and very poor host, never had such bad entertainment in my life. Really ruined the holiday as there was just nothing to do all day everyday. Daughter hated it. No fun at the hotel at all. Food was pretty good a wide selection even for fussy eaters. Water park was ok but only certain slides on at certain times. But again dead no entertainment in the day or even music just a dead atmosphere. WiFi is ridiculous have to sign into it every 5 minutes and we paid the extra 10 dollars still useless. Hotel don’t play the football so we went over to Arab bucks and motion bar - entertainment was a million times better but shouldn’t have to leave the hotel to see entertainment. Excursions to White Island and buggy’s were the highlight of our stay but booked with a company outside the hotel. In all honestly this isn’t your usual tui hotel at all it’s like a badly run family hotel I would not return and have no idea why anyone would return there’s far better hotels out there a lot cheaper. The hotel has potential but all the things mentioned need addressing.

I honestly cannot recommend Coral Sea Water World Resort for the amount of money they charge. I stayed at this hotel for two weeks, so this review is not based on a first impression or one random bad experience. It is based on my actual stay, and unfortunately many of the problems happened repeatedly. First of all, I have to mention that the way TUI describes this hotel is much better than the reality. In my opinion, around 70% of the description does not reflect the actual standard of the hotel. On paper, it looks like a proper 5-star all-inclusive resort, but once you arrive, the experience is very different. The description creates high expectations which the hotel simply does not meet. The hotel does not feel like a true 5-star resort. The food is very repetitive, and after a few days it becomes boring. There are some decent restaurants inside the hotel, which I would rate around 7/10, and the desserts are actually quite good, but the overall food experience is nothing special. It is also clear that the hotel has been renovated, but the quality of the renovation is poor. From a distance it may look refreshed, but when you look closer, the standard of the work is disappointing. For a hotel in this price range, it is simply not good enough. Another big disappointment is the lack of a proper house reef. For a hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, this is a serious downside, especially if you are expecting good snorkelling or easy reef access. The service at reception and at the bar near reception was also disappointing. The alcohol served in the hotel is very low quality and unpleasant. If you have already booked this hotel and you plan to drink alcohol, I would strongly recommend buying a bottle at the airport before you arrive. Another issue is that some restaurants inside the hotel charge an additional fee of around £5 per person. On top of that, drinks are also charged separately. These are not imported or premium drinks, but the same drinks that are served for free at the normal bars. For an all-inclusive hotel, this feels very strange and disappointing. I was also unpleasantly surprised by the different treatment of guests depending on the room category. Guests who booked more expensive rooms, for example rooms with a jacuzzi, were happily taken by golf buggy to the hotel gates. However, if you booked a standard room, this service was not even offered. It feels like the level of service depends not on the fact that you are a guest at a supposed 5-star hotel, but on exactly how much you paid. For a hotel of this level, that is very unprofessional. The water park also raised safety concerns. I personally saw staff telling guests to throw their shoes down from the slide tower instead of leaving them safely at the bottom. That says a lot about the level of organisation. Some of the aqua park staff seemed poorly trained and not very professional. The table tennis equipment was terrible. The bats and equipment were in very poor condition, which is embarrassing for a hotel that presents itself as 5-star. Entertainment was basically non-existent. I could hear music from another hotel around 800 metres away, but I could not hear any proper entertainment from my own hotel. That says quite a lot. There are some positives. The hotel grounds are large, green and well maintained. The waiters and housekeeping staff provided good service. The desserts were tasty, and the external companies offering diving and water sports were good. However, overall the hotel is heavily overpriced, located far from the Old Market area, and simply not worth the money. For this price, you can definitely find a much better hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. After staying here for two weeks, my conclusion is simple: this hotel does not match its price, the TUI description, or the standard you would expect from a 5-star resort.

Just returned home and we are gutted. Me and my Family had the best time possible. I joined in with the animation team every day for all activities, seeing the negative comments recently is far from true, the animation team try with everyone but people simply don’t want to join and complain there is nothing to do, the team are always trying their best in this heat with smiles on their faces. Tia and Budda constantly made the effort with my family, they was never pushy and we joined in because they made their activities fun and enjoyable, i did darts and beer pong with Tia and Aqua gym with Budda and many conversations during the day and night. Our hotel room was spotless everyday the cleaners was really good. The bar staff are very friendly and on it with your drinks. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend this hotel and recommend people to interact back with the animation team as they’re a great small group and really do try their best. We can’t wait to return, please try the hotel before judging☀️

What can I say that I have not already said to the staff….. I see Water World as my second home, as been here over 8 times (out or 19 times in total) . I have come either on my own or with friends. As a single woman, I feel safe, extremely looked after and treated with much respect, kindness and they all ensure my safety is paramount. Straightforward, check in upon arrival, reception staff give you information and keycards prior to being taken to your room by the bell boys If you arrive late the restaurant has a late service, where the food has been freshly made prior and only half the buffet area is open (2 station other than them all) Upon arriving to the Rooms, (fruit and small plate of mixed sweet treats were very much appreciated) noted how big and airy it felt. Decor is pleasant and do like the small reading light to each side of the bed. The bed is clean and absolutely love the fact I have a huge bed to myself! HEAVENLY!!! Complimentary Tea and coffee facilities available and housekeeping will always top up daily: along with bottles of water. Small fridge to the room, for your use if you buy anything that needs refrigeration. My bathroom had a bath and over bath shower.. water pressure was superb!!! Housekeeping came daily to clean the room and replenish towels. Meals in the main restaurant has various dishes, that can suit everyone’s needs this includes vegetarians, vegans and gluten free items. Although others have stated dishes are repetitive, there are various choices and to actually make a meal up.. from vegetarian, fish to daily meat of the day. If there’s something in particular you’d like but can’t see, chefs will endeavour to find and make something for you, it’s not a problem. Each evening is themed, therefore the cuisine is made for that country (Mexican, British, Asian and Egyptian etc) Chefs and restaurant management are always around to ask questions and to help if needed. Waiters are always around and do come to tables to ensure you have drinks. Personally, I tend to get water myself as it’s freely available. However, I’ve never had an issue here. The pool areas are spotless and both the lifeguards and bar staff keep the areas clean and tidy, no sunbed wars as there are plenty of seating and beds available. Lifeguards will place cushions on them when asked. The pool bar guys work tirelessly, on occasions there has only been 1 guy due to the other one out delivering drinks to guests on their sunbeds. (Or could have nipped to the loo!) Unfortunately the last time I was here, my friend encountered a very hostile guest shouting and swearing at the one bar staff, stating they had been waiting at the swim up area and no one came. My friend actually her not to be so rude and he was actually serving people… the poor guy was so stunned by the encounter as he does work so hard ensuring everyone was served! Unfortunately, I’m not one for entertainment, but I did see in the evening was good, one day around the pool, we were treated by proper Egyptian musicians which did make a nice change. Security at the main gates always ask for your room number and where your going, this is for safety as they do write this down and this is to check youve come back safely. The gardens!!!! The gardener work so hard from early morning to sunset.. to ensure the gardens stay well maintained. Overall every employee I’ve met over the times I’ve stayed at WaterWorld, are always respectful, kind and supportive. Nothing is too much trouble and they will do their utmost to ensure you make special memories. My friend stated it was one of the best holidays she has had! She read 5 books whilst there and came home completely relaxed and different mindset. There are different areas you can go to for fun, peace and of course the water park if that’s your thing. The small area at the end of the pontoon has been sectioned off for safety reasons and also to protect the coral around there. I used the laundry service here for the first time, as I can only use certain products to wash clothes with… and WOW!! The service was amazing! It came back so quickly the first time was given back the same day!!! Beautifully washed, ironed and hung on hangers, protected by plastic covers! Extremely impressive and shall do this again!! (And my skin didn’t react, so all good!) The Gym area above the spa, is actually one of the nicest I’ve seen, has every piece of equipment possible.. clean, tidy and airy… huge windows that look over the sea also air conditioned…. I can not say what the spa is like as I had not used it…. However I had a tour and although it’s small it has everything that’s needed. I will certainly be taking advantage of this next time! Thank you to Mr Khaled and all your team for the ongoing service you all contribute to 🙏🙏😊 I look forward to my visiting my second home again very soon 🌞🌞

Where do I even start Coral sea water world is a stunning place and I had an amazing time. The service was great from the bar staff to the animation team, to the rooms, EVERYTHING. Tia kept us occupied during the days and we had lots of fun going out at night too. Dj Ibrahim was good on the decks and so so lovely. I will be coming back 100%.

Came here for 2 weeks paid £6,000 for a family of 5 this was too much money for this hotel unfortunately, I have been to Egypt 4 times, holiday village, aqua blu and neverland this was the worst out of them all, the good bits first room was fine the hotel grounds clean enough, cleaner friendly, lifeguard at the very small tots pool very friendly and played with the kids a nice touch. Bad points pool closed about 5 times in total spoke to the manager about this while frustrating for our holiday it’s not really the hotels fault. You only get 2 bottles of water in your room each day, this hotel didn’t have fridges outside filled with bottles of water every other hotel did and is needed in this heat . Soft drinks served from bottles unfortunately not on draft so was often flat and warm, all the bar staff rude and unfriendly I felt under pressure asking for drinks due to this, every other hotel they would speak and ask you where you from and how’s your holiday but they are bad staff here just wanting tips or they are unhappy first time in an Egypt hotel I have seen this and it was all bar staff. Was never offered a drink while sat around the pool out of my whole stay I even gave my feedback to the manager and told him to check the cctv as camera around lots of places because that’s how rude the staff are giving people drinks around the pool for tips only and ignoring everyone else unless you tip all the time you will get drink brought to you ( I never even got offered a drink so not going to tip for a service I didn’t get ) the staff even allowed people to push in front in Ques the ones who tip this is unfair! The cup sizes are tiny plastic cups if you don’t tip 80% of the time I asked if I could have bigger cups like some others they said no! ( too busy making sure they had big cups for the people that tip) you never say the waiter walking around with his tray with these tiny cups only the big ones. The hotel needs to look into this. I had a leak through my ceiling from an aircon fault. Lifeguards remove cushions from loungers on purpose so in the morning they bring them to people that tip and take loads of loungers for people if they have tipped another example of wanting tips. Also they keep the left over inflatables and give them to people wanting money. Camel man and hotel shop avoid the amount of time I have heard peoples cards been charged loads more money ! The shop is also very over priced go outside the hotel then to the left and use the metro shop red bull £0.80 monster £0.55 Food is the poorest I have had out of the 4 hotels unfortunately, also the snack bar at the water park sometimes had birds eating chips from the counter they where not covered but everything else was. Summary Better hotels around unfortunately and so even cheaper to book, If you tip all the time you will get drinks but the food isn’t great. Too much favouritism to white wrist bands doesn’t make sense why not welcome new visitors.

Food good. Cleaning rooms good. Entertainment rubbish. The corridors to rooms needs Cleaning. We there for 7 days, they were never mopped. Sticky due to spilt drinks. We stayed in room 2062. And had cock roaches daily in our room.

Don’t do your nails there !!! My 13 yrs old daughter went there and we paid £45 for nails and went out. After 3 hrs she came back with these sh*ts and crying al the way to our room with words that she wants to take it off. At the end they said to her that these nails should cost £85 and not £45 what we paid .

Just finishing off a week with a family of 9 first time at this resort overall a great break airport was smooth and we booked a private transfer with falcon great service waiting to greet us and very smooth the hotel staff were excellent very attentive in reception we had a delux double with partition and terrace 1008 I would recommend this room easy access to pool area close to main reception and evening activities the pool area was excellent the room attendant was excellent he kept our room spotless and towel art was available daily we had a couple issues with mosquitoes out side our door and asked the hotel to fog this and were immediately there. Tip get some raid from the metro outside the hotel it’s a £1 just to spray any that have managed to get in the room if you get bites make sure you use good repellent they are numerous and a lot of people had bites the quiet area and the kids area was very will supervised we had no problems obtaining beds however for the most popular area next to the kids access you would probably have to get there early however again the pool staff would find beds for you and provide padded beds overall the quality of food is good we had no health issues and the areas are kept very clean sanitiser is on constant use in the dining room by the staff we tipped small amounts for staff who seemed very grateful we booked one trip with Aquarius around the pool a days boat trip with snorkel and scuba it went very smooth the staff were very professional and safe only 25 max on the boat and the sea life was the best I’ve seen the water park is good again the supervisors are excellent very safe for kids . The night time activities are basic mini disco fire show and karaoke but to be honest the kids were so tired from the day they were happy to get back to the room

This hotel has absolutely no business calling itself a 5-star resort. At best, it would qualify as a tired 3-star property. This was my 12th trip to Egypt, and I can honestly say this is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The hotel advertises “renovated rooms,” but what you actually get is a collection of poorly patched-up, worn-out spaces filled with broken, rusty, dirty, and visibly neglected fixtures. We booked a twin room and were given a room with a rusty folding bed. The curtains looked like they had not been washed in years. The ottoman was covered in stains that resembled vomit marks. The wardrobe was made from rough unfinished boards, making it unsuitable for storing delicate clothing. The bed linen was old, rough, and covered in pilling. One of the light fixtures was broken, with the lampshade and bulb barely staying in place. The shower had weak water pressure, and the water temperature constantly changed from hot to cold. There was not a single towel hook in the bathroom. What was even more shocking was the reaction from the reception staff. When we asked to change rooms, they genuinely could not understand why. I was shown five different rooms, all suffering from the same issues. After inspecting multiple rooms, we simply chose the least bad option available. Calling any of them “5-star rooms” would be laughable. The food was equally disappointing. The selection was poor, repetitive, and uninspiring. Many dishes were sitting at room temperature rather than being properly served hot. The dining area felt dirty, chaotic, and unpleasant. Getting a drink often required so much waiting that it was easier to get it yourself. The beach is another major disappointment. While Nabq is not known for the best beaches, the situation here is particularly bad. After walking the long pier, there is only a small area where swimming is possible, and access to the water is via a rotten, unsafe staircase that should have been replaced long ago. The biggest issue is not the outdated rooms, the poor food, or the weak beach. It is the complete lack of standards and the apparent belief that guests should simply accept these conditions. Nothing about this property reflects the quality, comfort, or service expected from a 5-star hotel. Save your money and book elsewhere. Egypt offers far better hotels at the same price point. This hotel left us feeling not only disappointed, but genuinely misled by its advertised rating and room descriptions.

Do not bother to take or get EGP currancy. Take £/€/$ cash as that is what they like here..especially £ sterling! Though you pay by card for the extra trips. You will get treated well anyway and staff always go the extra mile, but the occasional £1 tip here and there is always greatly appreciated! Best all inclusive holiday we have ever been on and well worth the money. Staff are incredible, food is very varied, Waterpark and pools are incredible. We have bagged a lovely quiet week here as no queues, always a sun lounger and parasol. We arrived at 01:30 and were instructed to leave our suitcases so we could go and eat tea, which was soo kind of them to provide and hugely appreciated after a very long flight and day of travel. You will have a fridge and they provide water, air con is lovely and the rooms are MASSIVE. We will be making this a new holiday destination regular as just too beautiful of a country...perfect weather..happy kids...lovely people = best holiday.

So we stayed from the 7th to the 14th of June in room 2011, room was kept spotless so Thank you, the location of the room was close to reception restaurants pools ,this. Was our 2nd visit we came last year in june it's hot hot hot,the staff are a credit to this Company alway smiling and polite which was very much appreciated,good value Holiday, enjoyed all our meals, no sunbed wars, life guards give out cushions for the Beds,which i thought was a nice touch they were also good with the children,pool bar Staff a big thank you for keeping the family topped up with drinks i love the iced Coffee, if you want a chilled out holiday coral sea water world gives you that, so a big Thank you to all the staff from the uk.

I have just returned from the most amazing week here! The rooms absolutely impeccable super clean everyday our lovely cleaner Mohammed was so lovely checked in with us everyday if we passed each other, he also made amazing towel designs and refused to take the tips we left him !! The staff is where this hotel really stands out for me everyone is so welcoming so kind and to intrigued to learn more about you, The food was overall good breakfast got a bit repetitive however it was still good, besides that we had no problem with the food and always managed to find something enjoyable to eat . But a big shout out to the animation team who came over to us everyday informed us about the activities and upcoming entertainment in the evening checked in with us to make sure our holiday was going smoothly! Always got us involved without it feeling forced amazing activities for adults as well as children and we’ve returned home feeling like we’ve made some amazing memories and made great friends! Coral sea we will be returning!!

We have been here 3 times now and will keep coming back. All staff are wonderful and always make you feel welcoming. Good selection of food and very well cooked. The omelettes and eggs are perfectly cooker each time. The gardens and pool are always so clean and fresh and the rooms are always cleaned to perfection. Nighttime entertaiment was really good even more so for the Kids. Mini disco was always the highlight for our daughter she love Waller (sorry for miss spelling) She always got the kids up and dancing and always involved everyone she could. My daughter absolutely loves her. She does the kids club too. All the staff in the restaurant are always welcoming and would do anything to help out. This hotel is one of the nicest and clearest and well facilitated you won't be disappointed

Have just come back after spending two glorious weeks at this hotel. We couldnt fault anything about it to be honest. The hotel was spotless, staff so so friendly and couldnt do enough for you. We had a double room 1241 which was fine for us although there was a generator on the roof which got on our nerves but apart from that the room was quiet enough. Cleaner did a really good job sorry cant remember his name but he always left us clean beach/pool towels every evening for the next day. Couldnt fault the food either. We ate mostly in the Italien which was lovely and the rest of the time in the Stone Grill / Indian which were our favourties. We had to pay 5 gpb per person and it was 50% of drinks which we found to be fine as the food was lovely. We spend all of our days on the beach which was lovely and peaceful. Lifeguards were superb helping us with our chairs and basically anything we needed, well done ! Beach bar staff were also lovely Osama and Hussain were lovely and always had a cheery smile every day, well done lads! Nobody expected a tip but we always did but there was no pressure to this entirely up to yourself. My husband kite surfs so this is why we chose this hotel but we really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately it wasnt windy every day but you cant plan the weather, It was very very hot though so a high factor and plenty of water as we did see a lot of burnt people. We did venture out one night just for a change and went to Arab Bucks which was recommended. I wouldnt go back the food wasnt great and no atmosphere so would definately give that one a miss. Looking forward to coming back may be end of Sept/Oct as it was nice and relaxing for us anyways. Plenty of kids but to be honest apart from the water park I think little ones especially would have been bored. Airport on the way home wasnt too bad just a couple of checks and then that was it. Roll on the next time.

so friendly and kind and nice !
