Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh

I had a great experience with my family at Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh, everything exceeded our expectations while staying there in terms of hospitality, service, cleanness, food, ambiance, location, sea spot, beach, restaurants, specious room, and hotel’s facilities. The hotel’s architecture is one of a kind and very authentic. The water features, gardens, and landscaping are state of art! The hotel is located in the heart of Sharks Bay and very close to SOHO square where all shops, restaurants, kids areas, cafes, walking areas, and night shows are available. I would like to personally thank: - Mr. Leon Baum the GM of the hotel who personally checking on us and all other guests on daily basis during the breakfast time. - Mr. Othman ElSheshtawy the restaurant manager of Zitouni who were showing extra care to me and to my children to draw a smile on our face. This man really from heaven for such kindness and respect, he was orchestrating the whole team in way to make our stay very pleasant and unforgettable. I want also to thank Mr Emad the restaurant manager and f Arabesque and his team in general and Abanoub and Marwan in specific. Special thanks to Mr. Narouz the deputy manager of the beach and his wonderful team specially Tony, Mohamed Essawy, Rafaat Mokhtar, and Abdo. Golf car and housekeeping teams showed great hospitality, support, and enthusiasm for serving us durum our stay. Thanks again for everyone who works for Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh for making our stay truly enjoyable, memorable, and unforgettable. Can’t wait to plan for my next stay at Four Seasons Hotel Sharm El Sheikh.

What an amazing hotel and team of people who WILL make your holiday an exceptional experience. That’s what our week at the Four Seasons Sharm el Sheikh was, a complete experience. We travelled with our 2 children 4 & 5, we were in room 316, a beautiful, clean and open room with a spacious bathroom with both a shower and a HUGE tub (to my delight). We had a terrace where we could sit and enjoy the outdoors, with a sea view. It was beautiful. We have travelled to many different countries and stayed at many 5* hotels/resorts yet the service and attention to detail from every staff member from the waiters to housekeeping to the golf cart drivers was next to none. Joseph checked us in and gave us all the information we required all with a smile and helped us make a booking for dinner by the time we got back to our room all our luggage was already there. Our daughter fell ill a couple of days before we left and the team at Arabesque restaurant Emad, Dana, Diana were amazing with her they sent us a fruit basket, a get well soon card and soup to our room (P.S her getting unwell had nothing to do with the hotel). We used the Hotel Dr and he was amazing also everything was arranged so fast but its the care and attention they showed after that made her feel so loved and cared for. Staff knew us by name and couldn’t do enough to make our stay more pleasant. The grounds are so well kept and beautiful, I used the Spa and this was so clean, they had everything you could want and the massage literally put me to sleep. Noha was so attentive before, during and after my treatment. The food at all of the restaurants was amazing. We especially loved Yatai and Zitouni. They had everything you could want for Breakfast at Arabesque. Our daughters used the kids club and it’s one of the nicest ones we’ve seen with many different activities. The ladies here were great with our daughters especially Shosho. If you travel with children we would recommend taking a boat ride with Sinai Blues the watersports on site because the highlight of our trip was seeing dolphins our girls were squealing with excitement! It was such a wonderful experience we’ll never forget it. Although our girls were too young to snorkel they have some of the best reef on site and we were able to see some amazing colourful reef and colourful and unique fish right from sitting on the jetty! If you are considering this hotel this is your sign to book! Will we go back? Absolutely!

We were at the hotel for a week – that week happened to be the week of the Israel-Iran conflict – which meant that the hotel was probably quieter than usual. First thing that comes to mind is “stunning grounds”. 90 acres of manicured greenery and flowers, in between the desert and the Red Sea. This is the largest Four Seasons property in the world, as far as we understood. The hotel has had its capacity doubled with the addition of new rooms and villas. Before we get into the details, I would like to mention that all members of staff were very nice to us and very helpful, but the person who really stood out was Hani, the manager of the beach area in the original part of the hotel (Hani, I miss the rayeb and the z….). I would also like to mention Ibrahim from the other beach, Walaa (hope I got the name right) from the new pool and the spa reception staff. The new hotel rooms very modern, spacious and featured beautiful furnishings and the latest technology. We somehow ended up experiencing two rooms, rather than one…We had booked a Premium Sea View room and we therefore expected a view with a wow factor. When we got to the room (2106) and looked at the view…we were quite deflated. We did have a sea view to a certain extent, but the palm trees as well as the walls of the other rooms were featuring more prominently, to put it this way. As we arrived late at night, we asked for a room with a better view the following morning, and we got moved to 1104 which had a really beautiful view. Before coming to the Four Seasons we had read reviews about the music blasting from the nearby hotels throughout the day and well into the night. We could hear it, of course, but we got used to it after the first day/night 😊and it stopped bothering us pretty quickly. I am not sure why the local administration of Sharm el Sheikh does not impose some sort of limits on noise pollution. As the property is very big, guests are ferried around by golf buggies. We found the waiting times for the buggies to occasionally be quite long, although the hotel was clearly not at full capacity. There are also 2 funiculars, but during our stay they both happened to have some sort of revision time, which meant that buggies ended up being the way to go, on some of the days (I had a leg injury at the time, so I could not walk around too much). Food at the hotel restaurants was very good. We only had lunch once (tasty lobster roll and octopus at the pool restaurant), as we were trying to avoid gaining weight during the holiday – but we dined at the hotel every night. We particularly liked the Lebanese restaurant and the Italian one (you should try the foie gras and mushroom pasta…) for dinner. The only restaurant we did not get to try was the Asian one, purely because we looked at the menu and found that most dishes were Chinese/Japanese, rather than Thai, Indian etc which is what would have been more appealing to us. What I personally did not like was the breakfast. I think breakfast was the weakest point of the hotel. Service was good if you went to have breakfast early, but if you went between 10-11AM…the service was more patchy. I also did not find the quality, variety and the presentation of the breakfast food to be of a Four Seasons (or even 5*) standard. Only 1.5 months before going to Sharm we were at the Park Hyatt in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and they both had a much better and nicer breakfast offering. In addition, the constant fight with the birds and the mess they made was pretty bad (we showed the staff photos from our stay in Abu Dhabi and Dubai as an example of how those hotels dealt with the bird issue), and the option of eating indoors meant being in a noisy and crammed environment. The hotel had singers and a belly dancer in the main bar area every evening. As the belly dancer performed every night between 9-9:30, we found we had to eat either earlier or later than that, to manage to see the show. Perhaps worth varying the show time throughout the week? My husband also thought that the bar area - where the entertainment was - was disproportionate (too small) compared to the size of the hotel/complex. We really enjoyed the two gyms. The original one (attached to the spa) gave us the opportunity to swim in peace in the lap pool and then to exercise right after – which was very nice and we did that usually before breakfast. That was pure luxury. The new gym had very modern equipment and we also attended a complimentary class with Hasan, which was really good. What we were wondering was why – in the era of social media, views and the need to differentiate – the new gym ended up in a building with no view and no proper signposting. During our stay we also went to check out Soho Square, the shopping area behind the Savoy hotel (next door). I was impressed by the way the Savoy treated the stray cats (they fed them and had them vaccinated – see photo below) and I wondered why the Four Seasons could not do the same. For example when we went to Mauritius, the Four Seasons and the nearby Anahita hotel shared a Cat Club, where guests could go and feed the cats, contribute to the upkeep of the cats through sponsorship etc. On that note, it also seemed to me that the German Shepherd dog used for explosive detection at the main gate of the complex seemed to be limping… Anyway, this is a really nice hotel in our view – and we are likely to go back ourselves and also recommend it to friends.

The Golden Rule of the Four Seasons: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This was our tenth visit to Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh. Our first was in 2010, and the most recent—though surely not the last—was just a few days ago. As Mr. Isadore Sharp wrote in his book, Four Seasons truly is a “home away from home.” Visiting the same place ten times over the past 15 years proves that this isn’t just a slogan—it’s a fact. My wife, my two daughters, and I enjoyed our time as if it were our very first visit. We encountered an issue that was completely beyond the control of the staff or management, yet it was handled swiftly and professionally by the entire team. It’s always wonderful to reconnect with long-time team members, many of whom are now in senior positions within their departments. It’s equally delightful to meet new staff members who carry the same Four Seasons DNA—eager to ensure your stay is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. On behalf of the Srouji Family, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to every member of the team—from the front office, golf cart captains, housekeeping, Chefs and lifeguards, to the pool and restaurant staff, and of course, the managers. A special thank you to: • Mr. Karim Azab • Mr. Mina Fathy • Ms. Donia Back office • Mr. Ragab Hamouda • Mr. Gaber Attia • Mr. Zakaria - Lifeguards Chief. • Mr. Hani Golf Cart Captain • The Il Frantoio team: Mr. Imad, Mr. Abanob, Ms. Mirana • Mr. Zeyad at Reef Grill • Pool staff: Mr. David, Mr. Mondy, Mr. Abdo • Mr. Anter and Mr. Yousef at Breeze Beach • Mr. Khatab, Mr. Haitham, and Mr. Samy at Zitouni Restaurant • Mr. Armando and the Bullona staff. • And finally, Mr. Leon, who personally ensures that every guest is having a quality experience at his resort. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone who helped make our stay as superb as ever. We are already looking forward to our next visit. All the best, Zaid Emile Srouji
