The quiet adults-only (16+) choice on Sharm El Maya bay: a sandy, walk-in beach, a calm older crowd, and the Old Market a few minutes on foot. There is no house reef; the hotel runs a boat to its coral for a fee. Book it for the beach and the walkability, not for snorkelling off the shore.
Jaz Elite Palace, formerly Iberotel Palace, sits directly on Sharm El Maya bay at the old end of town, next to the Old Market rather than the Naama Bay strip. That decides who it suits. It is adults-only from 16, 263 rooms, and the beach is sand: fine, clean, a gentle slope you walk into, with turtles grazing the sandy bottom. There is no coral in front of the hotel; the house reef is reached by shuttle boat for a charge.
The mood is calm. Reviewers describe an older crowd, attentive staff, no sunbed wars and evenings that end early. Dining is the main buffet at La Coupole plus à la carte restaurants, Bluemarine and Ali Baba among them, and the à la carte is what gets praised. There is a spa with hammam, steam room and sauna. Meal plan varies by rate.
The cons are consistent: buffet food that disappoints some, air conditioning that struggles in peak summer, small shallow pools, the call to prayer, and recent construction noise on the beach. The airport is about 18 km, a longer transfer than Sharks Bay. If you want a reef off the sand, DoubleTree Sharks Bay; if you want a livelier adults-only, Pickalbatros Royal Grand on the hill above Hadaba.
A plan built around this hotel
In short, if you’re planning to visit Sharm El Sheikh and don’t want to regret your choice, you have to choose this hotel! My wife and I spent our honeymoon here❤️ I honestly can’t find a single thing to complain about, everything was more than perfect. Everyone we met in the reception was amazing person. The room cleaning was fantastic. Delicious food and incredible variety of dishes across the restaurants to the excellent hygiene, friendly restaurant staff specially Mr.Sami and Mr.George. Every detail was taken care of, and the service was outstanding! But what made our stay truly unforgettable was all the amazing, kind-hearted people we met. We will miss you more than you know. A HUGE THANK YOU to EVERY Ahmed, EVERY Mahmoud, and Mohamed Ali, and every single person at this wonderful hotel. You all made these days so special, and we will carry these memories in our hearts forever. Thank you for everything, guys. Until we meet again, hopefully very soon! ❤️🇪🇬

Special thanks to the housekeeping team for their attentive and excellent service.
— The bartenders could improve the variety of cocktails they offer, especially when it comes to classic cocktails. They do the basics well, but a wider selection would make the experience even better.
Yes. Guests must be 16 or over; under-16s are not accepted. The crowd skews older and calm, and reviewers describe a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere.
A private sandy beach on Sharm El Maya bay with a gentle walk-in entry and no reef shoes needed. There is no house reef; the hotel takes guests by boat to its coral reef for a fee, and reviewers mention turtles feeding in the sandy shallows.
The hotel gives 18 km, one of the longer Sharm transfers. An airport shuttle is available for a charge if booked ahead; otherwise pre-book a car or agree a taxi fare before leaving the terminal.
Superior Queen or Twin Bed Sea View for most couples. Junior Suite Queen Bed Sea View (52 sqm) for a honeymoon. Garden view is the saving if you live on the beach.
The Old Market and Al Sahaba Mosque are a few minutes on foot. Naama Bay is a taxi ride, and the nightlife is there, not here.
Yes. One of the two outdoor pools is heated in winter, and the Mividaspa has an indoor pool as well. Both outdoor pools are on the small, shallow side, so on a cool winter day the indoor pool is the more comfortable swim.

Mostly quiet. Reviewers describe an older crowd and evenings that end early. The hotel lists live music and local entertainment, and for a drink there is the Borsalino Pub or the Sundowner Bar on an upper floor, looking over the sea. For clubs, take a taxi to Naama Bay.
Yes, there is a hammam, and the hotel marks its spa services as extra-charge. The Mividaspa offers a signature hammam, a steam bath, a sauna, massages and facials. Ask reception for prices on arrival and book your session early in the stay.
Yes, but the hotel itself lists it as limited speed. That is fine for messages and photos, less so for video calls or work. If you need reliable data, buy a local SIM at the airport.
36 sqm with a view across Sharm El Maya bay, which is the reason to be here; garden rooms face away from it. Sea-view Superior is the sweet spot before suite prices, and it sleeps up to three.
Value pick:Superior Queen or Twin Bed Garden View — the same room at a lower rate; fine if you spend the day on the beach anyway.
The one Sharm hotel where the Old Market is a stroll, not a taxi; TripAdvisor lists it at 4 minutes. Go after sunset for the lanes behind the mosque and dinners that cost less than Naama Bay.
The shore reef the hotel does not have, on the next headland south. Take your own mask and snorkel, and go for the last two hours of light.
The lookout over Old Sharm and the bay you swim in. Worth the detour for the photo on the way to or from Ras Um Sid.
