Red Sea Coast Romantic Holidays

Great hospitality and local

We can only comment on the Villa section as we didn’t really venture into the rest of the resort other than eating at the Greek restaurant and getting some spa treatments. We had a swim-up villa with sea-view which was truly lovely, luxurious and peaceful (to the point of feeling eerily quiet whenever we walked around to go to breakfast, dinner or the beach. I don’t think we ever bumped into a single other guest – a bit strange…) Our cleaning staff (Habib and his colleague) were absolutely lovely and kept us extremely well-stocked with everything. The private pool which leads into a long stretch of common pool was blissful even though you will see other guests swimming past your terrace (luckily, we were in the second-last villa so had very few passing “visitors”). While we were in the top row of villas and thus had maximum “sea-view”, it has to be said that this consists of a fairly narrow stretch of water in the distance – which is dwarfed by the main hotel which looms like a large fortress right in front of the villa section and does rather spoil any view. It is also worth remembering that Hurghada is located at the edge of the desert and there is no pretty scenery to look at (other than the hotel grounds, which are beautifully maintained). In contrast to the dusty, barren landscape, the sea in front of Fort Arabesque is a magical world of colourful sea-life and the snorkelling is amazing.

Wonderful 5 days. Nice beach and lots of pools. All staff very helpful and pleasant. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I was in the area.
