“Overall A Superb Holiday”

Grand Rotana Resort & Spa

Apr 29, 2008

Stayed at the Grand Rotana Resort and Spa April 2008 for 1 week, travelling with my Husband and our two sons aged 7 and 1. Upon arrival at the hotel we were greeted with a warm smile, cold scented hand towels and some delicious fruit tea - so far so good. We were then told we had been upgraded and would we be ok with twin beds? I replied as long as we can put them together and that there was a cot and bed in the room for our sons, at which the response given was of course!
We were taken to our room but unfortunately there was no seperate bed for my 7 year old or a cot for my youngest. It then took a couple of hours to sort this situation out by which time it was 11pm, we were all exhausted and because I was so flustered I ended up tipping the porter guy 50 euros!!!

Anyhow the next day we woke up to brilliant sunshine and after a lovely breakfast spent a great day aound the fabulous pool. This then set the pattern for the rest of our stay.

This hotel is great for relaxing, the weather was superb, staff very friendly, and hotel kept very clean. We were on a b&b basis which I would recommend. Our friends were on hb basis but soon got very bored of the food on offer at the Ramses restaurant. We ate at the Mezzaluna. Silk Road and Palms Restaurants all of which were quite good. We only ate once at the buffet in the Ramses restaurant which we all found very uninspiring. The food is not overly expensive a lot less than you'd pay for the equivalent in the UK..I would really recommend the Grand Rotana, it's about a 10 minute taxi ride into Naama Bay which is worth a visit for a giggle.

Overall a great holiday and we would definately go back to Egypt and the Rotana!!

“Great /Grand rotana”

Grand Rotana Resort & Spa

1/1 found this review helpful

From the moment we arrived the staff seemed to be on a mission to make our stay a good one or they were looking for tips either way the result was an excellent holiday. The hotel itself was beautiful from its front desk to its beach front.Three seperate restuarants to cater for all styles and tastes also a good selection of rooms from the standard to the superior deluxe . The pool area was excellent with a large pool and two kids pools , with waiters to bring you anything you desire.Small tips go along way with the staff from holding poolside loungers to very attentive service.Our room was kept very clean thru out our stay with room service also available handy for the romantic nights in.Highly recommend this hotel.

“Suberb & Friendly”

Grand Rotana Resort & Spa

Apr 24, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We have just returned from a week here - 16th-23rd April 2008.
Weather extremly hot (37-41%C) , and this hotel was not a disappointment.
Rooms are located in various 'buildings' around complex.
Alot of steps in some cases, so not very good if you are not good / unable with stairs.
Our Deluxe Seaview Room was indeed that. Aircon working when required and even had a clean during our stay.
It had a balcony which we could both lie on if we wanted.
Rooms cleaned everyday, - including sheets & Towels most days.
Food on Half Board was a Buffet affair with plenty of choice, and the drinks we had around hotel were not too expensive either unless you went for a Liqueer.
The Staff were always courteous and friendly throughout, and they are cleaning all parts of the hotel continually, so nothing is left.
This Hotel has a Spa, which is Air Con. and has views out onto the Red Sea.
The massive pool is clean too and although its slightly difficult to get a sunbed, unless your up really early, there are plenty from around 3pm when everyone has had enough, and the sun is much more tenable.
They have a small Bank in the hotel, and you can change your £'s easy and they give a good rate too. !
The only really bad points if you were to push me, was that having a drink in the Sea bar in the evening you are likely to get eaten by mosquitos.
There can be a smell of drains around the Roman Theatre at times, but not excessive.
We almost certainly will be returning. !!

“3rd visit to Grand Rotanna & Spa”

Just returned from my third visit to the Grand Rotanna & Spa.

The hotel and staff are improving every year. The grounds whilst always were magnificant are now maturing making for very tranquil surroundings. Ramy is excellent around the pool as are all the staff --very attentive right down to the cleaning of your sunglasses. As usual they gave me a lovely room (same number as last year)

Great hotel, great surroundings, great staff.

“Great Relaxation Hotel”

Grand Rotana Resort & Spa

Mar 31, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

This hotel lived up to expectations it was suitably impressive as you drove up from the gate. Our room was excellent as we had views across the pool and the sea.

The staff where really friendly and helpful and the food was of a good standard.

It was the perfect getaway for my wife and I and we could always get a sun lounger and relax reading our books. The pool was colder than the Red Sea but great for refreshing.

There were the already mentioned Russian clientele but I didn't find them as rude as people made out and they didn't take over.

Also the gym was absolutely top class with the best cardio equipment and I use lots of hotel gyms. All brand new and there is bottled water on side.
