Two complex away from each other..one only for adults and another one for families so if you have a big group make sure that you stay together. Umbrella by reservations only you can't find a good spot on the beach or only if you pay 85 euro per day to have a good spot....food variety is limited and not tasty. Overpriced and not worst at all. Nerve come back again.

Wonderful stay. Immaculate hotel, lots of food choices and plenty to do. Beach is great, you can spend days just snorkelling in the bay! Only downside - like most places in Egypt - is the constant sales pestering, but they are polite when you turn them away. The hotel is making loads more upgrades too, so will definitely return!

It was 14 years since we last stayed at Fort Arabesque. We knew it was a good hotel but it has improved in so many ways since we last visited. The facilities, grounds and beach are fabulous. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. I’ve now stayed 3 times at ‘The Fort’ and I’m sure I’ll be back.

A January gem

A January gem. Not too busy. Spotlessly clean. Well maintained. Beautiful gardens. Polite, helpful, obliging staff. Amazing food. Very well managed. Great for adults only at this time of year. Nice beach. Plenty of sunbeds around the pools and on the beach.

My husband and I stayed at Fort Arabesque for our honeymoon and it was everything we wanted & more. The staff was very respectful and professional. It was very clean and sanitary all around. We loved it so much that we added an extra day to our stay. The food was excellent, especially at Club 159 and The Pavillion. We stayed at the Swim Up Villa, which was very quiet and relaxing with privacy. This was the best decision we made when choosing a resort to stay in for our honeymoon.
