We stayed at Camel Hotel as I was booked to do 5 days diving, As a diver the hotel is amazing only a 10 minute walk to the jetty and for any non-divers in your group it has everything needed to pass the time until your diving friends return.

From the initial pickup at Sharm El Sheikh airport and purchasing of the visa until the drop off at the airport all the staff are extremely helpful and will do whatever you need without any fuss.

During our stay we tried all 3 restaurants and each time the food was excellent followed by the fresh ice cream.

Rooms are clean and basic, cleaned daily by male maids who do a very good job and make patterns from the bed linen.

I would recommend if staying here take the pickup option as normal taxi's cant get near the hotel but camel have special arrangements and get into the heart of pedestrian area.

I will defiantly return to camel on my next dive trip to Sharm El Sheikh.

I only dived with Camel, didnt stay in the hotel because we had one non-diver with us and he prefered a all-in-resort to relax when we were diving.
Camel dive club used to feel like a warm family, I've been diving 3 years with them (about 50 dives), but now the guides are not interacting much with the guests anymore. You only see them during the briefings, the rest of the time they stay inside and chat to eachother I guess. It used to be more fun. The dive briefings are a bit overexited, but perhaps they are instructed to try to fire up the guests, anyway, the imported things are all mentionned and the safety instructions are good. Boats are very nice, I was so fortunate to spend most days on the President 2, one of the nicest boats to my opinion. Their material is getting a bit old, they should do a couple more checks, especially for leaking regs. 2 People on our boat had a leaking 2nd stage, but there was only 1 spare... It wasn't gutting out, but still, it doesnt make you feel completely comfortable.
My friend pre-ordered 3 15-liter tanks for every day; he uses so much more air that otherwise his dives are very short . Apparently it is too difficult to remember to keep 3 tanks available. They even gave one away to another guest who didnt oreder the 15 liter. When we wanted to do the 3th dive, every time the tanks were empty. We complained and they'll tell you that they wont charge you the 15 liter. Well: I most certainly think so, but the money isnt the problem (think its about 1,5 euro's) the problem is that my friend has to go up too early. I would pay more if it meant that they managed to count to three....
Also I think that when you climb back on the boat they can instruct the othere guests to make some room so you can get your tank in one of the holes. I am not a softy, but having to wait a long time isnt much fun. They used to help out the guests more, chat a bit after every dive, I miss that personel touch. Of course they also have very friendly instructors working there, but last vacation we had 2 rather quiet days and 2 good ones. That used to be a 100% great!
It all sounds bad, but all and all Camel is a very nice dive school. They pick you up from every hotel, have friendly instructors working there, the dyas with them are very relaxing, and I would book them again. Special thanks to Tamer, David and Beth; you guys are great and made our holiday (again!)!

We live in Egypt, and have been to Sharm many times over the last year, but have previously stayed at the larger (and more expensive) resorts. What we discovered was :
1. with older teenagers, it became clear that they preferred to be near the action at night, and a taxi ride from places such as the Hyatt, though not expensive, added a level of complexity an evening out
2. The more diving we did, the more we discovered that we were not taking advantage of the "resort" atmosphere at this fine locations. And trust me, you pay a price for this resort atmosphere.

So, this past month we went and stayed at the Camel Dive Club Hotel, centrally located in the middle of the main tourist area. The rooms were fine (nothing too special, and honestly in need of some updating), but the pool was more than adequate, and the restaurants, bar and breakfast were all great for the price, which was about 40% of the price/night compared to the bigger chains. We also used Camel for our dives, and my daughter and I were thrilled with the dive-masters and the overall dive experience.

In the future, since all in our family are divers, we will only be returning to Camel, and we're thankful we've now found our "place" for our beach get-aways. It simply doesn't make any sense to spend over twice as much on accommodations when we're not using what we're paying for. I will be honest and say that if you do want to pay twice as much and don't dive, (and are happy to lounge around a pool), this may not be the place for you. But for those who are traveling to Sharm for diving, this is the place to stay!
