The property is directly connected to the beach without having to take shuttles. On the beach there is a small space on the shore suitable for entering the sea with small children. For those who love snorkeling, all you have to do is take the pier which takes you directly to a wonderful coral reef full of fish of all colours. We were lucky enough to even have an encounter with a turtle! The shops on the beach have very friendly and not at all invasive sellers. Mimmo absolute number 1! There is also entertainment and beach volleyball/racquetball and football pitches. Also try the massages offered by the SPA (don't forget to negotiate the price). The food, with a little spirit of adaptation, is not bad (if you are looking for Italian cuisine, go to Italy). The staff are super friendly, just be kind and smiley and they will be just as kind. We left a small tip (in euros) a few times to the guy who cleaned our room and he always cleaned everything perfectly for us. She also made really beautiful towel arrangements! Location of the property perfect for reaching (via taxi with a few euros) any tourist area of Sharm.

We went for Christmas and new year and stayed for 10 days from when we arrived the staff were very welcoming and helpful our first option for a room we didn’t like but straight away they changed for a better one we were very pleased with the speed in which it was done . The restaurant staff couldn’t do enough for you there was a varied amount of food but we would have liked more choice but saying that what we did have was tasty . Our rooms were cleaned on a daily basis always with some sort of towel art on our beds which was a very sweet thought ! I must give a big shout out to Mohamed Elshazly 5***** the bar guy at the pool in the morning and down by the beach in the afternoons who went above and beyond bringing us drinks coffees and teas and always with a smile on his face thank you Mohamed ! Also thank you for sorting the special tea out when my friend was sick that was super thoughtful. We enjoyed out stay at this hotel the only downside was that the restaurant on New Year’s Eve was closed and my friend was unwell and I stayed with her not going to the New Year’s Eve party in the adjacent hotel where there was food but it ok we managed !! Look forward to seeing you soon again

We had a great week and we can say it was a good experience! The property is beautiful, well maintained and immersed in a tropical garden with direct access to a beach. The pools are spectacular and spotlessly clean, with areas to relax or enjoy.
The staff were always courteous, attentive and available to satisfy all our requests, making us feel pampered and welcomed from the first to the last day. The rooms are spacious, clean and equipped with every comfort, with stunning views of the Red Sea.
A great addition is also the variety of food on offer: the buffets are rich and of high quality, with options that satisfy all palates, even the most demanding. International cuisine and local dishes are delicious!
The location of the resort is strategic to visit the main attractions of Sharm el-Sheikh: we were able to travel easily to destinations such as Naama Bay, central Sharm el-Sheikh, Soho and other places of interest. Also important for holiday retreats for excursions.
Finally, a special thank you to the animation team, who knew how to make each day fun and engaging, without ever being intrusive. The activities, the evening shows and the general organization were impeccable.
Meals are the most sensitive point in the quality offered and in the organization of the kitchen. But this is quite correct but below the rest of the general service.

Structure dated and abandoned to itself. The staff is very kind and super helpful, but they do with what they have, which is nothing. We are used to the Red Sea and for over 20 years we have changed the structure every time, and without a doubt this is the worst. Arriving at one in the morning they placed us in a dirty room, with the French window that didn't close, the bathroom door torn off and impossible to close, sheets changed four times and each time still dirty. We give up and try to sleep, too bad we are on the road and in front of the generator. I under the lamp, because the bedside table is practically above the bed... at 5 in the morning we ask for a change of room, and we insist until we find, in the afternoon and for a tip, a person who changes it for us. Definitely better, even if it remains at the bottom of Egypt's table. Hygiene in every room is latent. At the restaurant there are plastic placemats that are shaken out and put back on the sticky and greasy table. For glasses, it's best to bring them from home, because at the bar they are rinsed with water and that's it. A special mention to the dinner included on the beach at Alpitour: forget it! Old and spoiled fish. We all found ourselves leaving and eating at the central restaurant, sad but dignified if you don't use cutlery. Good grill outside for lunch and dinner. Ugly coral reef. Strong current. There's almost no animation, but this is a plus for me, given the little I've seen of them, it's better that way. Maintenance of greenery and structures non-existent. We recognized our ladder by a leaf that remained in the same spot all week. You don't fall down the stairs because your shoes stay stuck. Strong points: the pool and restaurant staff and the proximity to Sharm and Naama, where we always went. A change of management is recommended. Terrible reception and public relations. We did well because we made do, but there isn't even an Alpitour and Eden notice board. In fact, we are amazed and incredulous that a tour operator of this stature is offering a similar structure. I almost wanted to go home, even though I adored Egypt. To avoid...

We were guests of the Amphoras Blu hotel from 19 May 2024 to 5 June 2024, this is the third time we have returned to this hotel which offers accommodation in large, old fashioned but very clean and well refreshing rooms with excellent beds. The restaurant is well stocked and strangely for Sharm you eat well here with a well varied menu (don't look for al dente spaghetti or carbonara in Africa), grilled chicken and fish every day, ripe and delicious fruit. Structure on a human scale, everything within reach without traveling km. The large and well-kept swimming pool, the beach has a Light restaurant for lunch, ice cream and crepes every day at 3pm. Brand new pier where you can take 3m dives or snorkel. A special nod to the always smiling and helpful reception. The restaurant staff (especially Saad) are all good, smiling guys always ready to spoil you. Every year they make visible improvements to the hotel. 1 fish dinner on the beach included. Free access to the adjacent Amphoras Acqua structure with airboats. Welcome fruit and 1 liter of water in the room every day. Highly recommended to everyone

We stayed in the penultimate week of March at this village, and we had a more than good time, the staff were always helpful and kind, the rooms were cleaned every day, the food was good and varied, fruit, sweets and drinks were always available. The beach does not have a real beach, but a cliff and a pier to jump directly into high water, the coral reef is beautiful and also the quantity of fish. Furthermore, we had the plane returning in the evening and they allowed us to stay in the village to use all the services, giving us a room to take a shower before leaving.

All inclusive hotel with excellent value for money: 8 nights for two adults and two children aged 12 in a quadruple room 645 euros all inclusive. Having said that, I always expect what I paid and in this case the value for money is more than satisfied! Large and spacious room (the quadruple rooms, however, are only 6 and not close to the sea), minimal indispensable cleaning as often in Egypt, restaurant with edible food and where you can always find something to eat (not so obvious...). Very friendly staff in the reception room, it depends on who you are at. We came to Egypt for the tenth time for the same reason: the coral reef. The one in front of the village is discreet but if you want to take a taxi (not inside but outside the hotel) and with just 5 euros and 10 minutes you can take yourself to EL FANAR. With 100 Egyptian pounds each, you will have an umbrella (always Egyptian style though..), sunbed and above all the most beautiful barrier in Sharm. The other excursions leave something to be desired. The village is small in size and is not dispersive. Entertainment completely absent both during the day and in the evening which was exactly what we hoped for 😂, so for those looking for entertainment this is NOT the right village. Aesthetically very nice without large buildings and beautiful greenery. As for distances: 10 euros return to Naama Bay, 5 to El Fanar or Farsha Cafe, 20 Soho Square. If you have sea view rooms, the view of Tiran is very beautiful. Towel available every day, access to the water is via a short pier or from a small beach. Many umbrellas and sunbeds are always available on beautiful terraces with beautiful views. In short, I recommend it to those of us who came to Egypt to snorkel and not to look for something flashy or luxurious. We had a great time despite spending a very small amount. I advise.

Nice location Cuisine and housekeeping on a periodic basis Beautiful and magical pool The beach is fun
Dining is below average and minimalist The animation team average most attention to non-Arab guests Price too high for prices AC sounds loud while sleeping and irritating Hot drinks machines need to be wrapped up The chef, Mr. Hamid, on the last morning of the morning revealed that you had no tackles!!!It looks like I was on his side watching what to eat and what not to eat, and I wondered the real question They follow his policy of very savings in juicy wines that were very mild More control over the photo because the privacy in the pool is not controlled and the life guard should be alerted Prohibiting photos on the pools as it is a major breach of privacy and you rest assured

I regret having to give two stars but I could have given even half less.
- Restaurant: very little variety in food and quality below average compared to what you can find in Egypt, friendly and efficient waitstaff, nothing to say towards the guys who work. You can eat inside as well as in a covered open space outside, having said that, please opt for the entrance doors of the restaurant different from those already existing, a real torture, how do you have automatic non-sliding doors? You take food from inside to go out to eat and you have to do the stunts to open those doors. - Rooms: extremely basic, I stayed in the 1114, balcony with "Wall" view, attached to the neighbor's without even partition, obscene. Cleanliness decent, however the air conditioning worked well. - Swimming pool: Keeping three lifeguards in a pool like the one at Amphoras blue is ridiculous, as they sit around and do nothing else. You move the sunbeds and umbrellas yourself, even if you manage to find half a free one, from 10 am onwards forget to find a free space and the big classic: people who leave the towels and go who knows where, when I reported the problem to the lifeguard saying "I also pay like them, the towels can be taken away, since they can not be booked", he replied as if I was wrong. - Beach: Wide, only positive side. Sea? Never seen, direct entrance to the sea obstructed by rocks and descent from a utopian jetty, for a week there was practically a red flag and no bathing because of the strong currents, despite this, in case you are lucky to find the calm sea, know that you can swim in a circumscribed area of sea of 10 meters super crowded. - Animation: As if there isn't, you'll be lucky if you hear some music during the day, in the evening we don't talk about it at all. Final notes: I spent a week of total relaxation, I met beautiful people of various nationalities being an international structure and I had no problem bonding with local people (Johnny, the guy who works in one of the beach boutiques for moments of laughter and good coffee.), this helped me to spend a good holiday anyway but I would never return to the Amphoras Blue, in Egypt you can find much better Resorts for the same price.

The resort deserves a renovation or in any case more maintenance in general. The staff was kind both in terms of reception and entertainment and catering. The boy who "cleaned" our room started knocking early in the morning and his cleaning was limited to making the bed and maybe changing the towels twice... honestly I think the bathroom has never been cleaned in a week of stay! For the rest everything is fine, there are shows every evening, every day you can get towels for the beach with cards and this still means less space in your suitcase.

"A word of caution about the perfume/oil shop. While Mimmo, the salesperson, is very charming, we felt tricked into buying expensive bottles of oils.👎👎👎"
"An easy taxi ride to the town. It's on a cliff, so it isn't on a flat sandy beach but you can get into the sea if you walk down the stairs towards the scuba diving pier. "
