Excellent beach resort.

Since the moment of arrival, the check in took less than 10 minutes. We're given a first floor room. Very spacious room, clean with a sea view. We used the two pools in front of our room. The beach is fantastic with some corals and plenty of small colourful fish. Food was excellent and a huge variety of fresh plates. All local drinks were available and served everywhere. Excellent friendly staff. We'll surely return back.

Two complex away from each other..one only for adults and another one for families so if you have a big group make sure that you stay together. Umbrella by reservations only you can't find a good spot on the beach or only if you pay 85 euro per day to have a good spot....food variety is limited and not tasty. Overpriced and not worst at all. Nerve come back again.

Beautiful hotel and great spot for snorkelling . I will recommend to go for premium inclusive if you wish to enjoy all facilities as long as you don t have young kids accompanying you . The only downside is on my day of arrival at the beach I had 16 people visiting us trying to sell some spa treatments some tours some diving lessons etc … it was the most annoying thing especially when you pay to have some relaxing time . It is for sure extremely unfair . Except this staff are polite and courteous . We paid for premium inclusive on supplement but we still stick to our familial suite instead to be upgraded for a villa … make sure when you book to be wiser than us with the hotels options !

Wonderful stay. Immaculate hotel, lots of food choices and plenty to do. Beach is great, you can spend days just snorkelling in the bay! Only downside - like most places in Egypt - is the constant sales pestering, but they are polite when you turn them away. The hotel is making loads more upgrades too, so will definitely return!

It was 14 years since we last stayed at Fort Arabesque. We knew it was a good hotel but it has improved in so many ways since we last visited. The facilities, grounds and beach are fabulous. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. I’ve now stayed 3 times at ‘The Fort’ and I’m sure I’ll be back.

Hervorragendes Hotel

Das Fort Arabesque ist ein hervorragendes Hotel, optisch und servicetechnisch 1a. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit allem, es gab keinerlei Probleme. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, fast alle können Englisch und sehr viele auch Deutsch. Das Hotel ist definitiv weiterzuempfehlen und wir werden es in Zukunft sehr wahrscheinlich noch einmal besuchen.

West Bay

Pænt hotel med mange stille steder og flot have. Buffe var ok, Club 159 havde super mad. Skal betale for tennis og fitness. Utroligt at gæster får lov til at resevere solsenge. Troded de fleste hoteller havde forbudt det. Skulle stå op kl.7 for at få plads ved den opvarmet pool eller en solseng på stranden. Der lå håndklæder overalt. Persolnale taler Tysk til en selvom man svare på engelsk. Boede i West Bay og mærkeligt at man ikke kunne bestille taxi der, men skulle og i den anden afdeling. Det havde taget 1 min for personalet at bestille den.

A January gem. Not too busy. Spotlessly clean. Well maintained. Beautiful gardens. Polite, helpful, obliging staff. Amazing food. Very well managed. Great for adults only at this time of year. Nice beach. Plenty of sunbeds around the pools and on the beach.
