Hotels With Pools in Red Sea Governorate, Egypt

This was my first time staying at this hotel in 2015, and I've been here a total of 4 times. This year, we only stayed for 3 days; we decided to try different places. Previously, the hotel was mostly Germans, with some Europeans, Russians, and locals. This year, it was mostly Arabs – affluent and cultured, which really surprised me. The food is simple, nothing fancy. There's beef, chicken, sometimes fish, and tasty salted fish for breakfast. Various side dishes, standard pastries, and desserts. Lemonades and juices are from cartons. Ice cream is available at the bars from 12 PM to 5 PM. Cocktails are made everywhere with local alcohol, but you can buy imported drinks. The cocktails at the lobby bar are the best, and they also have various iced drinks. They change daily – water with oranges or cucumbers, apple and orange juices, and cold coffee. Sometimes there are cakes and pastries. I was with my 3 children. We had a family suite, though I'd call it more of a junior suite. The adult room is standard, and the children's room is small with two beds, a table, and a small window to the corridor. It's clean, towels are white, and the mini-bar is refilled daily. There's no refrigerator, I don't know what it's called, more like a cooling display case. The pools are clean. The kids swallowed some water, but we had no issues, and we always wash and sanitize our hands before eating. Children who can't swim are only allowed in the pool with armbands. Without them, they can only go into the pool with the ship and a designated area on the other side of the hotel. The aqua park is good for kids and adults; our backs didn't get scratched. There's nothing for toddlers. There's a lifeguard at each pool, and they monitor well. There's a rooftop pool, but it's 18+, so we couldn't go. There's animation, but we didn't participate. We didn't go to the hotel's beach this year. Last year, we didn't like it. There's a show every evening, but the kids are small, so we went to bed after the mini-disco. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and friendly.

We stayed at Grand Waterworld Makadi as a family of four, two adults and two children aged 4 and 5, and the hotel honestly exceeded our expectations. We arrived around 12:00 PM and had a very smooth check-in. The reception was calm and organized, and a special thanks to Mr. Mohamed Sabry, who was extremely welcoming, professional, and helpful. We received welcome drinks and were in our room within about 10 to 15 minutes. Without even asking, Mr. Mohamed Sabry arranged a very convenient room for us, close to the kids' aqua park, restaurants, and elevator. Since the resort is very large and we had two young children, this made a huge difference. The room was very spacious, more like a suite than a standard room, with a living area and two sofas that could be used as beds for the children. The furniture is a little old, especially the wood, but it was not a problem for us. The room was comfortable and practical. We also found a welcome plate of desserts, fruit, and soft drinks in the room, which was a very nice touch. The food was very good. The main Sun and Sand restaurants had a good variety, and everything felt clean and fresh. The staff were always smiling, helpful, and attentive, especially with the children. The à la carte restaurants were one of the highlights of our stay. There are Mexican, Italian, Kebab, Vino, and German options. Mr. Mohamed Sabry helped us arrange our dinner reservations during our four-night stay. The Kebab restaurant had very good grilled food, and our favorite was definitely the Italian restaurant. The steak was excellent, and the table service made it feel like dining in a proper restaurant. The snack options were also excellent. Places like the African and Tropical restaurants work more like proper restaurants, where you sit down, order from a menu, and the food is served to your table. There were also plenty of options for children throughout the day, including ice cream, waffles, pancakes, popcorn, juices, and snacks. Bottled water and drinks were always easy to find. The kids' aqua park was fantastic and one of the best we have experienced in a resort. There are many slides and pools, and our children loved it. Safety was taken seriously, with lifeguards present throughout the area. At one point I mentioned to a supervisor that one slide area was getting crowded, and he immediately added another lifeguard. I really appreciated the quick response. The resort also has many different pools, including a wave pool and a sandy beach-style pool area. The landscaping is beautiful, with plenty of greenery, palm trees, shaded areas, and attractive Islamic-inspired architecture. The beach was another major highlight. It is sandy, clean, beautiful, and directly accessible from the resort. There were plenty of sunbeds, so it never felt overcrowded. Snorkeling was also surprisingly good because you can see fish and marine life even in relatively shallow water without having to swim far out. But the number one thing that made this hotel special was definitely the staff. From reception to the restaurants, beach, aqua park, lifeguards, and pool teams, everyone was friendly, smiling, and genuinely trying to make guests happy. I have stayed at several very good resorts before, including Albatros hotels, so my expectations were already high. Grand Waterworld Makadi exceeded them, and personally I enjoyed this stay even more than Albatros Portofino. For families with young children, I highly recommend this hotel. Great staff, excellent aqua park, beautiful beach, very good food, plenty of snacks and drinks, spacious rooms, and a relaxing atmosphere. We had a wonderful four-night stay and would definitely consider coming back again. Special thanks again to Mr. Mohamed Sabry and all the staff who made our holiday so enjoyable.

We usually visit several hotels during our trips, and generally, they're all pretty similar. But THIS hotel is something else entirely – it's Rixos-level luxury! It seems the hotel is still new and hasn't built up enough of a reputation for sky-high prices yet, so you get Rixos quality at Albatros rates. The food is amazing; salmon and shrimp are commonplace here. The staff are friendly and attentive. I particularly want to commend Mohamed at the front desk. He's a young man who's incredibly dedicated to his job. We got an early check-in from him just for a smile. When we lost an AirPod, he helped us resolve the issue. It was my wife's birthday, and he made sure we were congratulated, and he helped with many other things. Not once did I see a bored look or any hint of expecting a tip... We really regret that our trip is already planned out and we have to move on to the next hotel. If we had known how great it would be here, we would have spent our entire vacation right here.

Amazing experience at Amarina Jannah Resort & Aqua Park! The rooms were clean, the food was great, and the aqua park and pools were so much fun. A special thank you to the animation team for their incredible energy, fun activities, and amazing evening shows. They made our vacation unforgettable and always kept everyone smiling. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to visit again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Stay at The Grand Hotel Hurghada (24/7 – 30/7) I had an absolutely wonderful stay at **The Grand Hotel Hurghada** from **July 24th to July 30th**, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the entire team for making our vacation truly memorable. The **food** was simply outstanding. The quality, taste, and unbelievable variety exceeded all expectations. Every meal offered something new and delicious, making dining one of the highlights of our stay. The **staff** deserve special recognition. Every single member of the team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. They were always smiling and genuinely happy to help, serving guests with dedication and pleasure. Their positive attitude made us feel at home from the very first day. A special thank you goes to **Mr. Nader** at the Reception. He is, without a doubt, one of the best hotel reception managers I have ever met. He is highly professional, courteous, and an excellent problem-solver. Any issue was handled quickly and efficiently, always with a smile. I would also like to thank **Mr. Mohamed Moawad** from the Food & Beverage Department. He is one of the finest professionals at the hotel—extremely humble, welcoming, respectful, and genuinely caring about the guests' comfort. Another person who deserves special praise is **Chef Mahmoud**. He is simply one of the best. His passion and dedication are reflected in the outstanding quality of the food served throughout the resort. The team at the **Eastern Restaurant** was exceptional. They were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. **Mostafa** and **Ashraf** and **Mohamed**deserve special recognition for their excellent service and kindness. Dining there was always a wonderful experience. The **Room Service** was also excellent. **Majed** is a kind-hearted gentleman who serves guests with genuine dedication, professionalism, and a cheerful attitude. His hard work did not go unnoticed. The **beach** is beautiful, sandy, clean, and perfect for families. There were always plenty of available sunbeds and enough space for everyone to relax comfortably without feeling crowded. The hotel offers a great selection of restaurants: * The International Restaurant next to the Reception. * The Pasta Restaurant on the second floor. * The Eastern Restaurant with its outdoor grill near the Reception. * The large white beach restaurant serving Shawarma, Burgers, Hot Dogs, and Pizza. * Another beach restaurant serving snacks and French fries. Every one of these restaurants offered excellent food and service. The only point I would suggest improving is the **swimming pool area**. The hotel has only one main pool, which is not enough considering the large number of guests staying at the resort. Overall, my family and I had an outstanding holiday. The excellent hospitality, delicious food, beautiful beach, and the genuine kindness of the staff made this one of our best vacations. I highly recommend **The Grand Hotel Hurghada** and look forward to returning again.

泄湖景完全是來搞笑的，所謂泄湖就是個小水泡，陽臺中間還隔着一段距離和樹擋着，跟其他評論一樣，存在一定的歧視，但是大部份工作人員還是挺友善的，雖然這本來就是他們應該做的。中間想加錢升級海景，帶我們去看的也還是一個稍微大一點的水泡而已，工作人員告訴我這已經是最好的海景房了，最後並沒有升級，泳池開放時間特別晚關閉時間卻很早，如果要出海這家酒店完全沒必要，吃的甚至不如國內100塊錢人民幣的自助餐，基本都靠吃麪包吃飽的，我們拿行李小費給了一美金態度還可以，同行的另一對沒有零錢了給了10埃磅態度就很差，對於一家五星級酒店這種事不應該發生，還是建議加錢選擇更好的全包酒店，或者普通的全包，想省錢或者出海沒有時間在酒店那就市區選擇一家便宜的就好了，這邊出行也並不方便，最後，我們check out的時候工作人員態度非常好，忘記問他的名字了，當看到我們自己拿行李過來了一直在向我道歉，告訴我他們應該安排擺渡車過來接我們的，海邊和泳池邊工作人員也很好，太陽下山後我們想去游泳，海邊的工作人員告訴我太陽下山後海里很危險，並且開玩笑説會有鯊魚，泳池邊的工作人員很耐心的告訴我泳池關閉了，要消毒，會傷眼睛，總的來説，真的不值這個價

The hotel is clean and comfortable, and we had a lovely garden view which made the stay feel calm and relaxing. The environment is very peaceful and perfect for unwinding. The food selection offers a wide variety of choices. However, the taste was a bit below our expectations—possibly because we are not very used to the local flavors. That said, there were still options available for everyone. What we enjoyed the most was the beach. The long bridge walkway stretching out into the sea was beautiful and a highlight of our stay. Walking along it and being able to see fish and even turtles in the clear water was truly a special experience. Overall, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy nature, especially if you love the sea and a peaceful atmosphere.

I recently stayed at Mercure Hotel, and overall I had a really good experience. The food was alright—definitely better than what I’ve had in all-inclusive hotels in Turkey or Tunisia. There was a wide variety of dishes, including lots of tasty options, cakes, tea, coffee (which was actually good), cocktails, and decent beer. The service was excellent. The staff were very polite and always willing to help—you can ask them anything and they’ll do their best. A special mention goes to Ahmed, the kitchen chef, who is an incredibly kind person. He really stood out, and I’d give an extra star just for him. The resort overall is not as busy as many other places in the area, which I really liked. It’s a smaller hotel compared to others nearby, with a simple, nice look—white buildings with brown windows, just like in the photos. It’s not a big aqua park-style resort, but honestly that was a plus for me, as I could relax without too many kids around. The beach is nice and quiet, perfect for relaxing. There are comfortable beds with shades/umbrellas around, so you can always find a good spot. The hotel has three swimming pools—the one next to the main restaurant is very large and usually empty, as most people stay at the smaller pool or by the beach. The sea water was a bit cold for my preference, but it’s beautifully clear and very clean. Many people really enjoy it, especially for snorkeling—there are amazing snorkeling spots right next to the resort. Rooms are cleaned every day, and you get two bottles of water per room daily, which is a nice touch. There are also plenty of activities: you can play tennis (though they only have one set of rackets), mini golf is included in the stay, and there’s a gym which is usually empty. There are snacks available by the pools and the beach, and a bar in the main restaurant. Outside the hotel, taxis are easy to find either at the lobby or on the street. Just make sure to agree on the price beforehand, or use the inDrive app—it’s usually cheaper than Uber or Careem, and you agree on the price upfront. There are a few shops nearby as well. If you need medication, it’s better to order from Self Care Pharmacy (you can find them on Facebook). For example, I ordered Antinal and rehydration salts with delivery for only 250 Egyptian pounds. They can deliver pretty much anything you need, and it’s much cheaper than buying inside the resort—definitely good to be prepared for emergencies. Overall, it’s a clean, more peaceful hotel with good service, plenty of food options, and lots to do. A great place to relax and enjoy the Red Sea.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Resort Hurghada and would happily return. The value for money here is truly outstanding. For an affordable price, you get a beautiful hotel complex, friendly staff, and an excellent location. Restaurants, shops, and the promenade are all within easy walking distance. We were particularly impressed by the Wi-Fi: it works throughout the entire hotel, providing a stable internet connection almost everywhere – which is by no means a given at every hotel. The resort is well-maintained, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the food is varied. Overall, the Grand Resort comes highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing holiday in Hurghada without breaking the bank.
