Myself and the boyfriend stayed in the Jolie Golf for a week. upon arrival we were very impressed with the decor and even more impressed with the staff. We had read previous reviews on trip advisor so asked when checking in if we could be upgraded to the royal wing. this was done free of charge.

The Royal Wing apartments were like miniature villa's, great space, huge beds (like 2 king size beds stuck together) double sinks in the bathroom, marble floors throughout, mini bar topped up every second day.

My only qualm about this hotel is at night it is very quiet, we arrived the night of the champions league final and there were 2 other couples in the Ascot Bar for the night, there is a lovely nightclub onsite la luna but no one is ever in it, we ventured into n'ama bay for the nightlife.

Overall I was very impressed with the hotel, but for couples in there 20's I think staying in the Maritim Casino resort in N'ama bay is a better option within walking distance to everything.

Beware of ordering drinks with ice or eating salads as the water in Egypt is not up to European levels.

I have today returned from the Jolie Ville Golf hotel. I must say this hotel is very worthy of a 5* complex. From the size, decor and cleanliness of the room to the friendliness of the staff who cannot do enough for you to the first class cuisine. My husband and I, with the exception of the first night when we regretfully went into Naama Bay stayed on the hotel complex. If we had known before we left we would have booked half board as the food is excellent. If you do book half board you can use one of the other restaurants on the complex and you receive £80 EGY (approx £8) towards a meal elsewhere. We also upgraded to a room with a sea view (approx £13 sterling p.n.) which was well worth it. The rooms overlooking the courtyard are bland and you cannot sit on your balcony without looking into someone elses room across the courtyard. We also looked at up-grading to the Royal Suite but that to us wasn't really worth the extra you get a bath but not much of a view! and we were also still able to use the pool in the Royal Wing. The snorkelling of the reef via the jetties was excellent, we saw many species of fish of all sizes incluing a blue spotted ray and a scorpion fish (must admit was off when I saw that!!!) and the wooden structure getting you there was incredible the architecture was amazing! I would stress however that it is not ideal for people who have problems walking. Please if you have booked this hotel you will not be disappointed. Visit the Lebanese restaurant if you like this type of food. I must confess we were terribly spoilt as due to the European Football Cup the hotel was fairly empty and we had our own chef and waiter in the Lebanese. I would recommend, therefore, to go out of season or when there is a football event on.

Stayed for 1 week in the Maritim Jolie Ville in May 2008.

I had done a lot of research on the hotels available in Sharm and had picked this one based on its Tripadvisor rating and on the excellent value offered by the travel agent.

We were not disappointed. Some of the reviews I had read were quite negative of various aspects of the hotel. I really cannot understand this as we found very little to complain about here. The standard of service in every part of the hotel was amazing. The food was surprisingly good - and I am a very fussy eater.

The pools and beach were fabulous. Although we only went down there once and when I went for a swim there seemed to be very strong currents and I was carried quite far, quite quickly so I got a bit of a shock but wasn't too worried as there was a lifeguard close by monitoring everyone in the water. The snorkelling here was amazing and well worth investing in the gear. I would advise everyone to try it.

When we arrived we were put into a standard room - which was fine but overlooking one of those enclosed court yards. It was fine. A very large room with a large bathroom and massive walk in shower. However, I had my heart set on upgrading to the Royal Wing from all the other reviews I had read. We went for a walk as soon as our bags arrived and we got them to show us one of the royal wing rooms which are really like little villa's with your own entrance opening onto the royal wing pool. This was my favourite part of the resort and so we went for the upgrade. It costs US$40 per night extra. They gave us a discount of 25% - probably because it was low season. Anyway, worked out at US$30 per night which was roughly €20. Definately worth the little bit extra which is not even that much between 2 people. The tour operator was looking for €250 extra for this upgrade (for 7 nights) if I had booked in advance so we saved about €110 by doing it when we got there.

The shop in the hotel was very useful and not too expensive. Used it to buy Mosquito spray (Off) - which seemed much better than the jungle juice I had brought with me (and not as sticky). If you are prone to mosquito bites - there are loads in Egypt so you need to be really careful as you will get badly bitten. If you do get bites, there is a brilliant Egyptian bite cream which I got in the pharmacy in Naama bad (its in a yellow/gold coloured tube) and is fantastic if you put it on the bites as soon as you see them coming up.

Naama bay is lively. Loads of people around and just a typical strip like most holiday resorts. We found that people didn't hassle you as much on the 2 main strips as they do on the little side streets, purely becuase there are more people to choose from. Having said that they weren't as bad as I was expecting at all.

I wouldn't have gone half-board as I would never want to eat in the hotel every single night. However, we did eat there 3 of the 7 night we were there. We also had lunch there every day and breakfast, so managed to try all the restaurants. There were all lovely I have to say, couldn't fault any of them. In particular, loved the Chinese and the Jolie Bistro - all the pool bars were good for lunch.

At the royal wing pool they would bring out ice cold face towels during the day and would come round and take drinks/food orders. We usually ordered bottles of water which came in a huge bucket of ice so wouldn't be warm in 5 mins.

We didn't have children with us but this resort looked to be great place to take kids and there was plenty of room for them to play without taking over the whole place. Loads of features in the pools, slides and stuff.

The only thing that wasn't fantastic was the night time entertainment. There was a couple of singers one night on the main restaurant outdoor stage - and that was all we saw, but we weren't there every night. The whole resort got very, very quite there at night time. From May-Aug is quiet season apparently so the hotel wasn't very busy anyway, but nothing much happening at night at all. We walked through the night-club one night and there was only one person in it (although there could have been another in the toilet!). Apart from that we went to the Ascot bar a couple of times and went to the Shisha cafe a good few evening for a drink on the way back from the pool/beach. So, if you want night-life, go to Naama Bay.

Apart from that there is no need to leave the hotel.

This is a fabulous place to relax. Staff are so friendly and helpful and I really couldn't fault the place at all.

We spent 6 glorious days in Sharm at the JV Golf from 8th May. The hotel is fab but we expected this from brief visits last year when staying at the sister hotel the JV Casino. Rooms are large, bright & airy with stocked mini bar (word of warning – we thought we'd borrow & replace some drinks but cleaner got there first & charged us, so wasn't such a good idea). We had courtyard view rooms with balcony, had wondered about changing but after 1st night decided that although view wasn't brill, it was nice & peaceful so stayed put. We had arranged transfers from the airport via hotel shuttle which cost 150 LE as we'd read that taxis are unable to enter the hotel grounds for security reasons and didn't relish a fair treck with all our luggage for our family of 6.

The snorkelling from the hotel was fab and although there is no sandy beach, this suited us as I HATE getting sand everywhere!
The food was good, obviously more pricey than in Naama. Breakfast was great, plenty of choice and spread out enough to not have to be pushed in front of by 'certain' people. Hubby got sick of toasting bread only to have it nicked; on the last day he actually shouted at someone that he wasn't the 'Toast Boy' and snatched his toast off her plate, it was hilarious!

The only downside to the JV Golf is the location which meant having to rely on shuttle/taxis to get about, unlike the Casino where you can just walk straight onto Naama. Saying that, I would return if we got another excellent deal as I can not fault the hotel & staff.
