4-Star Hotels in Red Sea Governorate, Egypt

The Regina is a basic all inclusive hotel right in the centre of Hurghada. Easy walking distance to the Marina and bars, restaurants etc are right outside the front door. Majority of staff are friendly, tips get you better service (as in most places in Egypt). Samir who cleaned our bungalow was absolutely fantastic, every day he left something else in our room that helped us enjoy our stay. From a kettle (not typical to get in Egypt all inclusive) to hotel embroidered slippers and a wonderful smile every single day, I hope the management cherish him as he is simply brilliant. The bungalow was spacious enough but the shower was tiny, beds comfy, plenty of clean towels too. The food is basic and not to the standard I’ve had in other hotels in Hurghada but there was always something to have. The beer is poured in to small glasses from a bottle and all the spirits are local equivalents. If like me you need coffee early morning (before 7) then you’ll have to pay for it. They have a machine in a little cafe area and at the pool/beach bars but machine coffee is not available whilst breakfast is being served. Instead it’s provided in a huge urn and not very palatable. If you arrive before 3pm you’re not entitled to have lunch or dinner after 12 o’clock check out on your last day…they cut your band off when you check out. If you check in after 3pm then you can get a voucher from reception which allows you to have lunch. I’ve never had this at any other hotel in Egypt (this was my 18th visit) and adds to the basic feel of the hotel. If you’re looking for a cheap hotel to enjoy the ever present sunshine then the Regina could be for you.

✅I came to Hurghada because only Hurghada has an overnight bus to Alexandria, so I just came and lay down first~ 🌊I booked a standard room with a swimming pool. I was originally worried that I would be assigned to the balcony on the first floor because the swimming pool would not be very private. When I went there, I found that the rooms on the first floor were the most popular. There is no elevator in the hotel, so you can ask the staff to help you carry your luggage. There are 1 bottle of Coke, 1 bottle of Sprite, and 2 bottles of 1.5L water in the room. The decoration is like the last century. The network covers the lobby and swimming pool, but it is a little slow in the room. 👨👨👧👧The guests are basically foreign grandparents who live there. Asian faces are very rare. We went to sit at the snack bar by the swimming pool and received everyone's attention. The staff were very enthusiastic and would say hello in Chinese when they saw us. There was an uncle on the beach who took the initiative to chat with us. At noon, we ate by the pool and took photos of the grilled chicken. The grilled chicken master lifted up the grilled chicken skewers. Pose for me~ 🎭There are performances in the upstairs restaurant at 8:30 pm and in the theater at 9:15 pm every night. The night I stayed there was a light and shadow show and an African brother performing acrobatics. At first, I thought the light and shadow show was an old-fashioned show with lights and music, but I didn’t expect the little brother. Playing with lights and shadows is particularly fancy. The African brother's acrobatic performance is also of a very high level. The neck-flipping and waist-flipping performance was so shocking that I couldn't bear to watch it. 🐠If you are too lazy to swim or go to the sea, just stroll on the beach. The Red Sea is beautiful and you can see small fish with the naked eye on the beach. I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to lie down all day and night. When I checked in, I was given a bracelet and when I saw it, I could eat and drink for free. After checking out, I could use the bracelet without recycling it. The grilled pigeon, grilled chicken and grilled fish in the restaurant were delicious. , the snack bar’s pies are also good. We exclaimed that this hotel with more than 300 yuan per person including three meals was a great deal. 🎁Shopping: Diagonally across from the resort is Cleopatra, a shopping mall with clearly marked prices. The top floor overlooking the resort is surprising, but the price is not the best for reference. The short-sleeved dress with Egyptian patterns is 240 EBs, the printed papyrus painting is 41 EBs, and the essence is 4 EBs-9 EBs/g, starting at 50g. The bottle is ugly, but you can buy a small essence bottle for 75 EBs and fill it back. There is also a row of souvenir shops nearby. Now that I think about it, if I have a reference price and go shopping, I might be surprised. Anyway, there is not much business in those shops during the day. 🐟Eat and drink nearby Almustafa Fish: Although the resort can provide all-inclusive meals, I still want to experience the local restaurant. There are many foreign tourists. The seafood soup is sufficient but too salty, the mixed grill is not bad, and the squid is delicious. 🚖Take a taxi: It’s only 2-3km to the Go Bus station. Uber shows 25 Egyptian pounds, but the driver will increase the price to 50 Egyptian pounds.

The room was beautiful, the hotel environment was also very good, the waiters we met in the hotel were also nice, but the front desk was really terrible. When we were checking in, the group of guests ahead of us had some issues that hadn't been resolved, and none of the two or three front desk staff came to help us, so we had to stand and wait for a long time.

The check-in experience was not good. The front desk gave me the first floor, but after negotiation, I changed it to the third floor. The air conditioning in the room was not very powerful and was not repaired in time. The front desk and the dining area were arrogant, with East Asian faces. No matter how fluent in English, they would treat me differently. Egypt is a food desert, and the food in this hotel is even worse. Fortunately, the view and size of the suite are comfortable, so it's okay considering the cost performance.

This hotel is a fraud. I made the reservation on booking and as Egyptian, I should pay in EGP and the amount shown to be deducted is in EGP and I suddenly found that they took it in US dollars and when I contacted the hotel someone called me as the GM and told me you can come and book the room from the hotel!! I refused and when I arrived I discovered that that person called” Yasser” left the hotel a month ago but he still contacting guests and taking their money and they can't do anything about it. I booked a seaview room. I paid extra go enjoy a 10 vacation by the sea and what I got a buildings view room otherwise you could move to a tiny room with a double bed attached to the glass door bathroom and you can't sleep. I moved twice in one night in different rooms to find comfort and it is terrible. The service is horrible! I paid over 40K EGP and I can't have a glass of water over dinner with my very small portion meal. They don't offer a Buffett. In the room they offer for 2 adults guests one bottle of water in a temp 48 degrees C. !!!! They don't have a beachfront they lied. You have to take a shuttle for at least 10 mins to go to the beach and it is Rocky not sandy and got injured on my first day. The facilities in the room are bad and not clean. Everything is horrible. Not worth a penny to stay there. The worst experience ever.

I recently stayed in the Sunrise Alma Bay for 8 days and the hotel atmosphere was just great. The hotel staff were so helpful. My room cleaner Ibrahim was so accommodating, friendly and efficient...and an expert in towel art! Emad at the pool bar was so welcoming and the service was excellent. Hamdy and Mohammed in the towel station/by the beach were friendly faces every morning and so helpful. Anastasia in Guest Relations came around to our table every breakfast and was able to action any little requests we had. She was very impressive with her notebook and actioning things so quickly. And lastly, when I asked to extend my room for a few hours (and very reasonable additional cost) on my last day, the Hotel Manager arranged for me to be moved to a suite on the seafront and the concierge Mahmoud was so kind in helping with my luggage and room change. I have been visiting Egypt for 10 years now and this stay has been a highlight for me because of the helpfulness and friendliness of the hotel staff, the delicious food, the pool (one of the best I have seen), and the beach front with pier and lagoona just make it the perfect location. The added bonus is that it is only about 20 mins from Hurghada airport. I would recommend this hotel to families, couples, singles and will definitely be coming back again. Thank you. Ciara

The worst hotel experience ever. 1. When I checked in, they said there was a problem with the reservation information and made me wait for almost an hour. 2. They didn’t even have conditioner. When I asked for toothbrushes and slippers, they said they didn’t have any and didn’t give them to me (although most Egyptian hotels are like this, ordinary hotels will give them to you if you ask for them, not to mention that they call themselves four-star hotels). 3. The staff kicked you out when you were playing with your phone right after breakfast, saying that you can only eat in the restaurant and can’t sit and play with your phone. 4. When I checked out, they said it was no problem. I walked to the door to call a taxi, but they called me back and said they needed to check the room and asked me to wait for 15 minutes! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? 5. I lost my room card when I went out to play, and I got a new one when I went back that day. They didn’t say anything and insisted on paying me $25 for the card when I checked out! I was in a hurry to leave to catch my flight, so I didn’t make a fuss. In short! A very bad experience, it felt like racism, there were many people from other countries in the hotel, and basically no Asians

The hotel facilities are relatively new, the beach is large, and you can go diving right outside. The experience is great

This hotel is in the center of Hurghada. There are many shops at the door. It is very good to go shopping. The hotel is a family hotel. There are a lot of people. If you want a quiet place, I suggest you choose Somabay. We booked a room with direct access to the swimming pool. It is a great room type. There is a water slide outside. The slide is super fun. There are many swimming pools in the hotel, and there are two swimming pools surrounded by sea water. The quality of the sea water is not as good as in the south. The hotel staff is super nice. I went there alone at dinner time. When the staff saw me alone, everyone who passed by came to ask me how the food was and if I needed anything. It is much better than other hotels that discriminate against Chinese people. It is very pleasant. I recommend it.

Ctrip's hotel description is vague and unclear and cannot cover general possibilities, causing great distress and loss to guests-time, energy, economy, and spirit! After communicating with the customer service, in the case that the customer service expressed understanding and apology and actively promised to help with the cancellation of the order, one day later, there was one that could not be cancelled! As a result, the house was not lived and the money was not refunded! And just because of Ctrip's own problems! learn a lesson! !! !!

I had the most incredible time at Amwaj Beach Club Resort and can't wait to return next year! The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delicious—every meal was a delight. The drinks were top-notch as well, making for the perfect vacation experience. The resort features a stunning beach and three beautiful pools, which were perfect for relaxing or enjoying water activities. I also want to extend a special thanks to all the staff who went above and beyond to ensure everything was smooth, easy, and comfortable throughout my stay. A big shoutout to the animation team as well! Their energy was contagious, and they truly made my trip unforgettable. Whether it was the fun dancing shows, darts by the pool, or volleyball on the beach, they kept me entertained to the max. This was an amazing trip, and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year!

The Solymar beach resort is not the most expensive resort in the Hurghada/Safaga area, but it’s also not the cheapest. Because of this, we were expecting it to be quite middle-of-the-range in terms of quality. At every turn, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted. The staff were friendly and courteous - whether at the reception, in the restaurant, or walking past someone watering the grass, you are guaranteed a friendly greeting. Everyone is quick to know their customers - after just a day in our usual spot on the beach, Ahmed knew our usual order. The hyper-energetic Magic Entertainment team members were also quick to build rapport and make us feel included in the resort vibes. We plunged immediately into extreme relaxation with a “honeymoon massage” at the spa, which included time in the dry and steam saunas, a special hammam exfoliation ritual on a heated marble slab, a full-body Dead Sea mud wrap, and an oil massage. The masseuses were talkative and playful - possibly not to everyone’s taste, but this seems to be the Egyptian way and certainly got me smiling and giggling along. There is not a moment of the day when you might be at risk of going hungry. From the early breakfast in the main restaurant, to the late breakfast at the beach, to the drinks and snacks on offer throughout the day at the pool bar and restaurant, there is always a wide array of quality F&B choices. There is some variation from day -to-day options, and it’s always worth checking out the “fresh-from-the-grill” area to see what the day’s speciality may be. Part of the stay includes one complementary meal at one of the two a la carte restaurants (Italian/Egyptian) where the food is a level or two up from what’s served in the buffets. Go hungry - the Egyptian meal included a starter of hot and cold mezze, a soup, a main course and a dessert (with alternative plant-based and kiddies’ menus). The resort has done a lot to ensure that it is eco friendly. Apart from the usual request to hang up towels to save water on unnecessary cleaning, they also purify their own water, which is left in your room in chilled glass bottles (it tastes a little weird, but it’s good for the planet). Overall, highly recommend the Solymar resort.

Poor hotel for a holiday. It was my 20th visit to Egypt over the last 6 years, so I have a comparison because I have stayed in 3, 4 and 5 star hotels. First of all, you can smell cigarette smoke everywhere - outside the hotel building, there are smokers everywhere and the beach itself is dirty with cigarettes. Deckchairs on the beach are ”reserved” in the evening, the day before. In the morning at 8 there are almost no free sunbeds, workers on the beach turn a blind eye to it for money. The cuisine is aimed only at meat eaters, vegetarians are screwed - seriously. The free internet in the lobby does not work. Finally, the creme de la creme is when guests log out after starting only on the 7th day, which was supposed to be fully usable. You lose your all-inclusive wristband, your room and only dinner on a voucher from the reception. When I talk to the receptionist that it is not in accordance with the contract, they lie and blame it on Tui. I spoke to a Tui employee and he confirmed the hotel's lie. Bathrooms are old and moldy. The hotel service was fine, the hotel itself was clean and cleaned regularly. I certainly don't recommend it.

Very good hotel Clean rooms Check-in and check-out process was perfect Pools and aqoa were amazing but there is no deep pool all the pool is 90cm hight which is not good for me. The food variety is limited in some meals The animation team is very good at night but not very active in the morning. I would like to thank MR kerolous from the receiption team and MR Adel rhe head of food and beverages for their professionalism and their politly way. Thank you and I will come back again
