Tropicana Rosetta and Jasmine Club

Surrounded by the Sinai Mountains and with a private beach nearby, this hotel’s in a great spot. This place is in a great setting if you want to make the most of Sharm’s holiday vibe. It’s only a few minutes’ walk to the epicentre, Naama Bay, which is packed with shops, bars and restaurants.

Then there’s the beach to consider. This part of Egypt is known for its clear waters teeming with fish and coral. The hotel has its own private stretch, where you’ll find soft sands and a multi-coloured reef. It’s a great spot for snorkelling and diving.

Closer to home, you’ve got the hotel’s pool scene. There’s a large, lagoon-shaped pool, plus 2 smaller ones with a swim-up bars. What’s more, children have a pool to themselves. Loungers and raffia sun shades frame the pools.

On the subject of food, you can look forward to pile-your-plate buffets at the main restaurant. The menu’s made up of international flavours. Or there’s an à la carte restaurant specialising in Italian dishes. Rounding things off is the lobby bar.

As for the bedrooms, they’re housed in low-rise whitewashed buildings that surround the pool. Creams and vanillas dominate the colour scheme, with bursts of colour coming from the bold red and orange soft furnishings. Extras include balconies, which overlook the pool area.
