Concorde El Salam

I don't recommend it. The hotel is old and doesn't deserve 5 stars. It's mostly Russians and Ukrainians. It's dilapidated, clearly a dozen years old. As a diving base, yes, but not for 5,000 for 9 days per person.

We stayed at the Concorde Front Hotel in September 2026. Our room was on the first line with a sea view (our view was absolutely stunning). The room was tired, but clean. The guy cleaning the towels made some funny things. Beach: Since this hotel has a second line, a bus brings these vacationers to the beach early in the morning. They take up all the spots with towels and go off to breakfast. They can return to the beach in 3-4 hours, and the spots will be taken by then. Meanwhile, we, who paid for the first line, arrive after breakfast and there are simply no spots left. The beach is very small for two lines; today we witnessed vacationers arguing over spots. The reef is beautiful and there are lots of beautiful fish. Food: Almost all reviews say you won't go hungry, and this is true; don't expect much variety. We had a fish day (shrimp, crab, squid, and fish—every day, in abundance). There was also plenty of delicious mango, and delicious ice cream on the beach and in the restaurant. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and without asking, they brought a delicious cake to our room—it was a great touch. The staff left a good impression, both in the restaurant and at reception (especially the Hamada). We also visited the second-line Concorde Sport hotel. In our opinion, if possible, it's definitely worth paying extra for the first-line hotel; the stay is more comfortable and enjoyable. For those who don't need fancy food, we recommend this hotel.

Good day, we are planning to come to the hotel in November, we have seen positive reviews. Our only question is whether the pools are heated.

Concorde El Salam – More Than a Hotel, It Felt Like Coming Home Where do I even begin? My experience with the Concorde El Salam in Sharm El Sheikh actually started before I had even arrived in Egypt, and that is where I have to begin with Amr on Reception. Without going into every stressful detail, I had a problem before travelling which genuinely threatened the whole holiday. I was getting nowhere and becoming increasingly worried that the trip simply wasn’t going to happen. Amr stepped in, helped me when he absolutely didn’t have to, kept communicating with me and somehow managed to sort things out. Quite simply, without Amr’s help, I would not have had this holiday. And that tells you a lot about this hotel before you even walk through the door. When we eventually arrived, the welcome was warm, friendly and genuine. Not the rehearsed “hotel smile” that disappears the minute you turn your back — the staff throughout the Concorde seemed genuinely pleased to help, chat, laugh and make sure you were enjoying yourself. The hotel itself The hotel and grounds are beautiful. The gardens are immaculate and obviously cared for constantly. Everywhere you look there are flowers, palm trees, beautifully kept pathways and wonderful views. The whole resort is spacious and peaceful without ever feeling empty. The pools are gorgeous — clean, huge, beautifully maintained and surrounded by plenty of loungers and umbrellas. One of my favourite things was simply looking across the pool towards that ridiculous blue sky and the Red Sea beyond it. And at night? Completely different atmosphere again. The lighting around the resort, gardens and pools is stunning. Walking around in the evening is genuinely lovely. The views over the Red Sea and the mountains are something else entirely. Some mornings and evenings I could quite happily have sat there doing absolutely nothing except looking at them. Rooms and cleanliness Our room was lovely, comfortable and kept spotlessly clean. In fact, cleanliness throughout the entire hotel deserves mentioning. Rooms, reception, pool areas, restaurants, toilets, pathways — everywhere was constantly being cleaned and maintained. And you notice the staff working incredibly hard in that heat, yet they still manage to smile and say hello. Food I also have to praise the food. There was plenty of choice and I always managed to find something I enjoyed. But I need to make a special mention of the chef at the pool bar and his wonderful “special” burgers. Those burgers became a little holiday event in themselves. 😂 I’m not entirely certain what made them “special”, but whatever he was doing, he needs to keep doing it. Absolutely gorgeous. The staff are what make this hotel This is the biggest thing I will take away from the Concorde. You can have the prettiest hotel in the world, but if the staff don’t care, you won’t remember it fondly. Here, the staff made the holiday. Mohammed, the towel lad, deserves a huge mention. What an absolutely lovely young man. Always smiling, always friendly, always helpful and working away constantly around the pool. Then there was my trip to the spa/hairdresser. I asked the lovely lad who did my hair what his name was and, after much laughing and questionable Arabic tuition from everyone around me, I was jokingly informed that apparently his name was “qird” — monkey. 😂 I am reasonably confident that was NOT actually his name. That little episode probably sums up half my holiday. I arrived in Egypt armed with a few Arabic words and an enormous amount of misplaced confidence. To every member of staff who patiently listened while I murdered the Arabic language, corrected me, laughed with me and still somehow worked out what I was trying to say — shukran. I promise I will be better next year. Probably. 😂

Overall is nice
