Nice facility, but far away and unhelpful staff.

First of all, this hotel is not in Hurghada, despite the address. It is an hour's ride, which can be very expensive. The hotel does not provide transport from the airport, and the taxi driver tried to charge me 200 euros. The hotel itself is a nice facility and a lot of natural beauty along with the facility itself. It does seem to be getting a bit run-down; we had one morning without running water and the buildings are starting to show age. It is very difficult to get drinkable water; the staff is reluctant to provide it. Staff is generally unhelpful.

4 star going on 2 star

this hotel is a 4 star going on 2 star and is very tired and run down it requires money spent on it to bring it up to standard the facilities were not as advertised only 1 beach bar no pool bar, the room was basic and the bathroom had a very small shower with a dirty shower curtain. hamburgers were for lunch each day no variety, the food in the main (1) dining room was ok with some variety. some days no wine at all. the staff were helpful but not too friendly,the (1) bar opened at 4pm (usually at 5 or 6) and was meant to be all inclusive until 8pm however if you asked for a drink between 4-8 you were told to pay for it. so few facilities because few guests. asked for some English speaking tv but told did not want to upset the Germans or the Russians or the Egyptians. so we paid peanuts and got the probverb peanuts. Safaga is falling on its feet with the economic problem and this hotel proved the point. shame really because the pool and beach were lovely and good snorkling.wifi was meant to be free in the lounge area but no they charged..good sized bed and clean.hotel.com are advertising this hotel all wrong.

The stay couldnt have been any WORSE.

We booked this hotel as a last minute 2 day break for my birthday, a group of 12 of us in total. And thankfully we had good company and lots of us The photos on the website are NOT what this hotel looks like in the slightest. We arrived at 10am. We were not allowed to use any facilities, restarants or bars until 12pm and not allowed to check in unless you are able to provide paperwork. The staff on reception was very rude about this. The staff were mainly very kind. Its a shame that every single one of them was miserable in their jobs and constantly looking over their shoulders to ensure that management wasnt there ready to "shout at them". Every staff member wasnt afraid to tell us how poor the management was and hoe strict they were to the stage the poor pool guy wasnt allowed to serve us more than one drink at a time!!! The bars unfortunately do not give you any sort of plastic cup or glass but instead give you children plastic party cups. Animation tried so hard but again having spoke to them...management REFUSE to buy them resources so therefore no evening entertainment and minimal daytime. Very very friendly animation team and i hope that they receive new jobs soon! The all inclusive bar shuts at 11pm.... so if you want a late night then bring your own alcohol. On departure we requested to speak to a manager who refused to see us and provide an email for us to complain to!!!

Bad experience

Firstly i booked the hotel online and paid in advance , and when i went to the hotel they said that they can't confirm the booking and i had to call anyone from Expedia which where i made my reservation, or i have to pay again or they will not allow me to use the room After 1 hour of negotiations i took the room The room is fairly good but with poor supplies like shampoos and shower gel And after that was my experience with the restaurant, my booking was all inclusive, so when i went to the restaurant there where a few selections and very poor drinks bar The hotel has no activities to do The next day i went to the beach at 6 AM, there was no one from the hotel on the beach or to serve a towel The first 1 i saw from the hotel staff was at 6:30 AM The sunrise is at 4:45 AM, so 6 AM is not that early The only reason i give this hotel 2 stars, because of its value

Good hotel with beach access for the price

I had a major issue with Travelocity and the hotel reservation but the hotel was great about resolving the problem. Before it was even fixed, they told us to go eat in the dining room because it was late and it would be closing soon. Great service at the front desk. Abdoul was awesome!
