| "I have never written a review before - unfortunately my first is negative. The Halomy staff are ok - whilst you are spending money. The facilities are very run down and the entire resort has the faint smell of cat about it - not nice. Food is best only eaten if you can actually see it being prepared.
The most dissapointing thing I found was that on leaving the staff were in with the taxi driver they had booked - all trying to rip me off.
I live in Egypt and am well aware of what taxis should cost - a little more, granted, for a place like Sharm - but they tried to tell me that 150 LE - almost 20 UK pounds - was an acceptable amount for a ten minute trip to the airport - when in fact it should have been more like 30 LE. The taxi driver told me to take it up with the hotel - the hotel told me to take it up with the taxi driver - Hmmmmm??? - BEWARE!" |

| "I have to say that we loved our room at the halomy, however when we arrived, they had overbooked and we had to stay at the neighbouring hotel for one night, which was fine. However the way that we were told about the situation was terrible, they told us that we would be in one hotel for one night then the halomy for the next 4 nights, so that we could have different views of the ocean (I don't like lying), when asked if it was overbooked they said no they just wanted us to experience other views, when we asked if we were allowed to use the facilities at the halomy they just said "as you like" (but only handed us passes for the other hotel) I didn't mind having to spend time at another hotel just hated the made up story that came along with it. however when we did finally get to our room they had upgraded us to an ocean view room, which was wonderful, I have to say that the hotel was lovely so I would reccomend people to stay here.

| "Superb location on a cliff overlooking Naama Bay with access to it's own coral reef and couple of minutes walk to the Bay itself. Small hotel with cosy moorish design & very friendly staff. Slightly run down which I didn't mind." |

| "Would definitely stay at this hotel again. I think the value for money would be difficult to beat. We paid 20 british pounds per night for bed and breakfast which is amazing value for Naama bay.
The hotel doesn't pretend to be 5 star and it isn't. The rooms are large and clean albeit a little dated and shabby.
The pool is lovely, the views unbeatable and the snorkelling from the private shoreline of the hotel is fantastic. The location I would rate as 10/10. It is a 5 min walk to the heart of town but you are far enough away that the noise and neon doesn't keep you awake.
We went for the B&B option which I would recommend as the food here is nothing special and it means you can eat somewhere different every night in Naama bay. If you feel lazy and want to eat in they do a decent pizza at the bar and the dinner buffet is only about 4 british pounds if you pay up front anyway!
Will recommend to friends." |

| "Generally a good hotel with helpful staff. The rooms are a little basic but they are cleaned daily so therefore tidy. The hotel has a good pool and plenty of sunbathing areas including a small beach with a very good snorkelling reef. The views are very good as the hotel is on a cliff overlooking the bay and the main streets are a five-minute walk away. All the staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel and location is fantastic for value for money. The food is ok but not great (same food each day), but there are plenty of cheap places to eat nearby. Their are also many diving clubs in the location to cater for all levels. " |

| "The hotel is at the top of the cliff, only 2 minutes walk from the centre of Namma Bay. Perfect if you don't mind climbing the steep steps to your room.
The hotel has stunning views and is very pretty. I opted for Bed and Breakfast, which was just as well as other guests reported the food to be repetitive and boring. My only reservation [and this is a big one!]were the cockroaches that I found in my bathroom! I complained twice before I was given another room and it was explained that work on the room above had disturbed them in the pipes." |
