A Hidden Gem in Egypt: Perfect for Families and Seniors
We just got back from our trip to Egypt and I'm excited to share our experience at this wonderful hotel. If you're looking for a chill, peaceful vibe, this place is perfect. Honestly, it's not the best fit for party animals or those looking for a wild nightlife. But if you're a family with little ones or a senior looking for a relaxing vacation, this hotel is ideal.
For kids, there aren't many activities for older kids, but the animation team is super laid-back and gentle. They've got a small playground and a mini-water slide in the pool area, which was a lifesaver for us! The property is compact and cozy, which is a total plus. Everything you need is within arm's reach, from your room to the beach. And the best part for seniors and parents with strollers is that the terrain is completely flat, no steep stairs or hills to navigate.
The hotel's infrastructure is minimalist, but functional. The centerpiece is a decent-sized pool with a bar right in the water! They also have a separate area for little ones. What really impressed us during the off-season was that they heated the pool! For adults, there's a volleyball court, but that's about it. All in all, this place is about relaxation, proximity to the sea, and effortless navigation.
We were happy with our stay! We went to Egypt with a specific goal in mind: seeing the Pyramids, so we opted to save on accommodations. That's why we chose this hotel. I highly recommend their excursion program, which we found through Grand utopia. If you search online, you'll easily find their programs. The 'Triangle of Cairo' package is a real showstopper and great value for the price! It includes, of course, visiting the Pyramids, but also the New Museum in Giza, which is worth your time. The surprise bonus was a visit to a massive shopping mall. If you're missing European brands, this is a treasure trove! They have a huge selection of tours, and the prices are very reasonable.
I highly recommend it! Food-wise, it's your standard, no-frills fare, but budget-friendly. Don't expect gourmet cuisine. The food is simple, satisfying, but not impressive. We had crab occasionally, but that was about it. In general, you won't go hungry, but you won't be wowed by the culinary experience. There's one main restaurant for all meals, plus three à la carte restaurants. We used two of them for free during our stay, which was a nice perk! I highly recommend checking them out to mix things up.
The rooms are a bit worn out, but they're clean and still work just fine. Since we only slept in the room, it was okay for us. Considering the price, the quality matches. If you're not a foodie and don't plan on spending much time in your room, this is a solid choice.
We'd definitely recommend this hotel to families, seniors, and anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Egypt. Just keep in mind that it's not the best fit for party animals or those looking for a wild nightlife. But if you're looking for a chill, peaceful vibe, this place is perfect.
The hotel's location is a major plus – it's close to the beach and has a great view of the sea. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. They'll do their best to make sure you have a great stay.
We were happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Egypt.
