Charmillion Sea Life Resort

We had a fantastic 2 week holiday. The grounds are so beautiful and some of the staff were amazing. Abdula at the pool was so nice and very attentive. Served some delicious different cocktails too. (Tips really help!) The beach bar staff are good too. We found the bar staff in the hotel less friendly. The drinks are not premium. On the plus side, no hangovers! The best part of the holiday was the snorkelling. We walked a short walk to next door, Club Resort, as it's nearer to the peer and has a bar. The fish are out of this world! So many different beautiful species. The sea is shallow at the shore so you can walk and snorkel in the shallows and see incredible fish. You can also walk along the peer to go down the steps to the reef. We called it 'the drop off'. Although most of the coral is dead it is still beautiful, and again, has a beautiful array of fish. We saw eels, urchins, clams, a lion fish, and too many other fish to mention. Amazing! Stay within the buoys, they are there to protect you. My other half grazed a live coral on his way back up to the surface and got stung on his elbow. He said the pain was excruciating but didn't last too long. The life guard sprayed it with a solution. The sea is so warm! Absolutely amazing. So clear too. The pool is warm and clean too. There was foam one afternoon at our pool which was great fun and a jet pack show which was brilliant. We went on a boat trip. We went with the organisation on site as they offered a half day trip. It was far too hot to a whole day! It was £100 for the 4 of us and extra if you want to scuba dive. The coach trip was short and the boat was great. Clean and with 3 decks. Most of the staff were friendly with reasonable English. The guy with longish curlyhair was particularly good; very calm and patient. They take photos and videos and want you to buy them. Far too expensive for us. They had fizzy soft drinks and water then on the way back come around with a bread stick and fruit slices. We saw lots of fish, although more variety at the hotel. I was excited to see a ray which our guide pointed out. We felt very safe in their capable hands. My partner really enjoyed his dives. We went to Soho square one evening. I enjoyed the experience but the rest of the family not so much. All the shops were very samey but the fountain show was pretty. We ate at a sushi restaurant which was really good The indrive app is much cheaper than booked through the hotel. This is the most non-inclusive all-inclusive we've ever been to. You have to pay for ice creams, to play pool, fresh juice at breakfast (which looked gross). You also have to pay for the pool foam party and the beach party. These are both at the Club hotel. The rooms are spacious with nice views. The cleaning could be better. Around the edges of the rooms and under the beds were not clean. There were 2 plug sockets in the bathroom and only 1 in the bedroom. This was very inconvenient. I advise to bring multisockets and even e

Having spent two glorious weeks at this fabulous hotel I would highly recommend to all. It caters for all ages from small children to mature adults like myself. There are mixtures of nationalities & cater for all religions regarding top qualities crusine. The staff are superb. From reception to housekeeping, waiters to lifeguards. Both around the pools & on the beaches.They all go beyond their duties to insure you have a wonderful time. If you wish to venture out day or night the hotel arranges taxis for pick up & return to the hotel. Every evening they spray the entire area for mosquitoes. Many thanks to all for making my holiday special & so memorable. Special thanks to Mohamed, Amr, Kamile and Rashed
