This is a great hotel and location is immediately in the heart of Na'ama bay, right next to Pacha nightclub. While we were on the opposite side of the hotel (thank god) from Pacha, you will not escape the music regardless where your room is. It really does go from about 10 to 4am. Rooms are very nice, clean, and very big. Breakfast is very good, great selection and attentive service. Tandoori restrauant onsite- food is overrated, service good but skip this and go to the Chinese down on the corner. We used the hotel transfer service which is 18 euros each way (not really any other option unless you want to haul all your stuff our of the bay to the main road). Hotel was nice but we had a missing luggage crisis and without a lap top we were left to self service our problem by phone. Hotel staff really isnt dying to help you where a chain might take it the extra mile. We also made inquiries about taking a trip to St. Katherines, and again, staff isnt prepared/equipped to handle these requests. Dive staff is great, very safe and professional and well organized. We were with Claudio and he did a great job. The water is 75 but we were freezing and aborted the other days. If you are not diving, then I do not recommend the Camel. If you are, there is no better place to be if you can stomach the noise. You can quickly walk to the beachfront boardwalk to see the other hotels, which are walking distance from the heart of NB. The Camel bar is indeed the best and be sure not to miss the rooftop area as well. If you are heading to Sharm anytime soon, dress in warm layers, its a very cold 70 degrees. We were in Luxor and Cairo and were so much more warm. The best thing in Sharm was meeting Tony Blair, who dined at the Chinese on Christmas night 20 feet from our table! Another tip, if you are not diving in Sharm and hitting this as a stop of your tour of Egypt, you only really need 1 day, maybe 2 for beach time and walking in town eating and drinking. There is a bowling alley which we found to be fun that you can walk to. Also, Sharm airport is only 6 months old.

We've just got back from a great week staying in the Camel Hotel. The hotel is very centrally located in Na'ama Bay, which means you don't need to get shuttle buses/taxis anywhere. This also meant that we didn;t have far to go to the jetty for the boats going out to the dive sites.

The rooms and bathroom were spacious and very clean as was the pool. All the staff were very helpful. Both the restaurants (Tandoori and Pomodoro) were good, and the food there was the best we had during our stay. The Camel Bar is fantastic, with the best view and the best shisha in town (especially when made by Dr Shisha). All the businesses (hotel, dive club, diving school, restaurants, cafe, bar) worked very well together, and you could put everything on the same bill if you wanted.

One thing we would suggest however is that you do take earplugs with you, as like another reviewer here mentioned, the proximity to Pacha on one side and the Hard Rock Cafe on the other side did disturb the peace at night somewhat - luckily not every night at least while we were there. We were so tired at night after diving all day that it didn't keep us awake for long, but is worth bearing in mind if you are a light sleeper...

If you are going diving, we suggest booking the dive packages in advance as you get quite a discount. Be advised though that to do "special trips" (e.g. to the Thistlegorm or Dunraven wrecks) you will need to pay extra supplements on top of the daily rate.

Have a great stay and enjoy the diving!!!

Very simple hotel, and not recently refurbished but attractive enough and very clean. Rooms spacious, big stand up showers.

Staff very helpful. Restaurant Tandoori excellent. Pomodoro restaurant ok.

Only one problem and its a big one - Pacha nightclub next door. Despite sleeping pills and earplugs I couldnt sleep 4/7 nights until Pacha turned off at 4am. Maybe I am a lighter sleeper than average but be warned!

Have stayed in Hilton, Sonesta Beach, Marriot in Sharm and Camel best value for money by miles..... if you aren't a light sleeper!

My trip was awfull, first the air conditionning in the room was broken, then we were awake by the traffic and the coach drivers who were speaking very loud just under our window every morning at 6.00 AM.

And the service of the hotel was a shame for a four stars hotel. At the end of the check out, the concierge asked me a tips for the check out!

I was very disappointed by the Camel Dive Hotel and I don't understand
the other annotations...

However, Sharm is beautiful dive spot!
