Carlton Luxury Villa

The staff was very welcoming and attended to everything we needed. the villas were clean for the most part, the mosquito screen was really helpful, and the pool was regularly cleaned. There was a BBQ, but we didn't use it.

The stove top cookers barely cooked the eggs I was trying to cook, took a really long time. And to be honest for the amount of money that was paid, the villas were quite empty, I'm not sure, but maybe table tennis or pool table, or some extra amenities are definitely needed. it just needs some extra things to make you want to actually want to stay and recommend to others. we started using "indrive" for cabs from the second day, as I knew we was getting ripped off, the stewards and cab drivers outside the compound kept trying to convince us to pay triple to five times the amount for cabs, which at one point got annoying.

Location and the view

Location of the house was great with an amazing view of the sea. The beach was small, however very nice and the corals nearby were fascinating and full of life. House was very spacious and swimming pool was perfect for the little ones to play in. Area is very secure and close to a supermarket for your general groceries. A car rental is mandatory to be able to explore the whole of Sharm El Sheikh and all the beautiful beaches it has to offer.

House has all the basic amenities you need but could do with a bit of maintenance, upkeeping and some general love and attention. Hotel Resorts either side of this compound beach have their own pier to get you to the deep end of the corals for both swimmers safety and to protect the corals. The compound where the villas are do not have this and you either have to swim over the corals when the tide is high or use Monte Carlo's resort pier after you persuaded the life guards on the pier. The management or owners of this compound either need to build their own pier for their guests or make sure their guests can use one of the adjacent resort piers.

the villa is spacious and it has all what we need . Reda and his team is so polite and professional . whatever we need we ask for and they bring it quickly

nothing

Our host, Reda, was amazing! He arranged transport from the airport to the villa and met us with the keys to the villa. He spent time sitting with us and not taking payment until the following day to check we were happy with everything. He sent someone out to get mosquito spray for us and lent us two snorkelling masks and a router for WIFI! He even took us to a shop to sort out SIM cards out which took about an hour and he waiting the whole time. Reda went over and above and text us every day to check all was ok.

For a self catering villa, the facilities in the kitchen are very poor. The crockery and cutlery was not clean. However, we washed the plates, cups and cutlery that we needed to make toast every morning and ate out every day. The swimming pool was too cold to swim in but the sea was warmer.

Love the property with beautiful sea view perfect location. I would like to say special thanks to the amazing staff and Rada he made our stay memorable and was only phone call away if we had any issue in the property.

Property needs alot of renovations . Hot water does not last if 2 or more people have shower at same time .property from inside needs modernising as it is falling apart .
