Just back from another fabulous week in the Lido (Jan 19th -26th). We have never been to a hotel 4 times, but this hotel is like a magnet and always maintaining the same excellent standards of cleanliness, service and friendliness and all with the very best location in Naama Bay.
From the very genuine GM, Mr Tamer right through, the staff really are a credit to the hotel and are always so helpful and pleasant, whether you are a first time or returning guests, the standard of service is exactly the same. A really small, quiet and intimate hotel with only about 70 rooms so staff get to know you and what you like very quickly, making the holiday so personal.
There is a small private beach with plenty of sunbeds, with the ever helpful Soudy always ensuring you have sunbeds exactly where you want to lie, also his knowledge of the marine life in the Bay is incredible. There is also the decking area where sunbeds are placed during the day and becomes the beautiful On Deck Restaurant by night. Unfortunately while we were there the weather was unusually cold at night, so never got to eat here, but hope to make up for that in the summer.
There are patio heaters scattered around the restaurants and bar areas, which came in very handy.
A heated Pool is on the roof and has amazing views by day and night time views of the lights over the whole of Naama Bay.
The hotel is situated right at the far end of Naama Bay, with a five minute walk into the centre, making the holiday as relaxing or as hectic as you like.
Rooms are kept spotlessly clean with daily changes of sheets and towels and some fantastic towel art. For Hubbys birthday bed was done with elephant, and birthday cake made of towels, flowers everywhere and was a lovely touch to the day.
Food is varied and excellent, dinner is different theme every night with about 6 different choices and also a fresh pasta and pizza station, breakfast and lunch also has plenty of choice with amazing views overlooking the port and the boats sailing in and out.
Snorkelling excellent especially behind the decking, and a short stroll to some amazing reefs all around the bay.
While there, we realised we left the camera charger at home and wanted to film an octopus that was in on the hotel rock, Hassan went up to the town, shopped around for price (he was even willing to go into the Old Town for a cheaper one) and brought a charger back for us, so thanks to Hassan, we got some amazing photos and video. You don’t get this kind of service everywhere.
No hard sell on tours and massage, they are available just not pushed on you.
No animation team = no children = Heaven LOL.
A big Thank You to all the staff and looking forward t returning again.

We have stayed at the Lido 4 times now, each time it gets better. The views are first class. The bay & the Red Sea. the pool on the top deck is awesome. The cost of meals is reasonable, but it is only a short stroll in to Namma bay with a vast array of restaurants. All the staff are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble. the beach attached to the hotel is unusual for Sharm as in that you can walk into the sea from the beach. most hotels in Sharm you have to walk down a floating pontoon and straight into deep water. So this is a blessing. the snorkeling is good. if you are a Scuba diver like me them i would recommend the Red Sea College dive center 500 yards along the beach. also the dive boats leave from the jetty only 25 yards away. The perfect hotel in a perfect location. many thanks for a brilliant holiday

We first came across this Hotel in May 2011 - we had dinner at the On the Deck Restaurant - which was amazing and have since been back to eat several times. Whilst we where having dinner we enquired as to what else the Hotel had to offer and we were given a guided tour and the offer of spending a day ( for a very small charge approx $20.00 which included drinks etc ) at the hotel so we could experiance their facilities over a full day.
Well we had such a great time - that as soon as we returned to the UK we booked 10 days ( all inclusive ) for Christmas and New Year just gone.
I have to say that we were not disappointed - the hotel and its staff are first class - the Hotel is approx 7 - 10 mins walk outside of Naama bay - so you get all the bright lights but not so much of the noise at night ( although some rooms might hear music at night depending on which side of the hotel they are on and the wind direction etc ).
Whilst there might be more "swanky" hotels in the area - where the Iberotel scores over these is that it is only around 75 rooms - so in no time the staff get to know your needs and requirements.
It is the staff and the managment team that make this Hotel stand out from the rest - they are led by a great Manager - Mr Tamer Gawad - who personally came over to us on the first full day we were at the hotel and greated us warmly by our names ( which is a first for me at a hotel ).
From then on the pool / restuarant / bar staff could not do enough for us - they were friendly but always very respectful and professional - a special thanks to Hassan / Mohamed / Makram / Anwar / Mansour / Sammy and many others who made our Christmas and New Year very relaxed and enjoyable.
The New Years Eve Party was first class - with a good mix of Music and Live Entertainment - the food throughout our stay was very good - plenty of variety in the buffet - which also included a fresh pasta and pizza station.
I would reccomend this to anyone seeking a quiter relaxing holiday - yet it is close to the shopping and nightlife of Naama Bay - many guests are repeat customers which is a good reccomendation in itself - we enjoyed the whole experiance so much we have already booked again for Christmas 2012.
Many thanks again to everyone at the Iberotel Lido - keep up the good work it is very much appreciated. Best wishes Lesley and David
