The most awful vacation in my life!!!!!!! 5 star????????? Are you sure??????? There is an disgusting smell around the pavilions, same food every day (only egyptian of course), filty rooms and towels (if you pay extra to the cleaner maybe you will have a clean room),not friendly personal (lazy as much as possible), boring animators.....

I usually do not write bad reviews about the hotels I stayed in. Actually I never had a bad experience in any country I travelled. But this is the necessary exception.

Having seen other reviews, our expectations were not high but our chosen hotel was overbooked and we were switched to the Desert Rose a few days before departure. The hotel is very big (over... more

I tried to transfer the booking to alternative accommodation but Excel travel refused - not surprising as we were the only 2 Brits in the place. The food was even worse than described in reviews as... more

We were moved to this hotel by the local representative after problems at another hotel. We only stayed one night. It is a sea of concrete with a number of accommodation blocks scattered around. The staff are very nice and helpful and the rooms are OK but there isn't much of a beach and the areas around the pools are... more

Just got back from the Desert Rose on an all inclusive, to sum it up Hotel very tied!!! Having stayed in a 4 star last year at Maras Alam and having the most amazing time, i was so looking forward to visiting Hughada what a let down!! Food was cold and bland breakfast was the best meal, although you could... more

Rooms are clean but basic, food is adequate, staff are very nice but largely untrained and the entertainment was amateur high school standard that made... more
