Domina Coral Bay Resort, Diving, Spa and Casino is set on the Shark's Bay stretch of the Sharm el-Sheikh coast, around fourteen minutes by car from the airport. It is a well-known Italian-run resort complex with a private beach, scuba diving and snorkeling from the shore, a marina and boat tours, a spa with massage, a gym and a casino and nightclub, so there is plenty to do from morning to night. The pool area has a children's pool and lifeguard cover, and the grounds include a restaurant, a poolside bar, a lounge bar, a cafe and a snack bar. All-inclusive plans are offered on some rates, with buffet meals, snacks and selected drinks, while other rates are room-only or breakfast, so look at the details of the one you choose.
Location and getting around
The resort is in the Shark's Bay area, close to SOHO Square, so an evening of dining and entertainment is a short taxi ride away. The airport is around fourteen minutes by car, and an airport shuttle is available for a fee per vehicle. Excursions such as the Tiran Island snorkeling trip, the semi-submarine and the Bedouin desert dinner collect from most Sharm hotels, though you should confirm that your property is on the operator's pick-up list when you book.
Who it suits
The resort is a good fit for divers, who can use the on-site diving and snorkeling from the private beach, and for sociable travellers who like having a spa, a marina and evening entertainment within the complex. Families will find a children's pool and a relaxed beach, while adults travelling together will enjoy the bars and the nightlife. If you want a quiet, ultra-private retreat, a hillside hotel such as the Four Seasons will feel calmer, and the casino and nightclub make the resort livelier after dark than some of its neighbours.
Food and drink
The resort has a restaurant, a poolside bar, a lounge bar, a cafe and a snack bar, so you can graze through the day. On all-inclusive plans, buffet meals, snacks and selected drinks are included, but check which venues and which drinks are covered. If you book without meals, you can also eat out at SOHO Square or in Naama Bay.
Good to know
The spa offers massages and treatments for an extra charge, and activities such as archery and boat tours are available on site, sometimes at an additional cost. Free Wi-Fi is provided in public areas. As in all Sharm resorts, the sun is strong, so bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for the reef entry. In the busy season, from October to April, book dive courses and restaurants early.
