Abu Dabab, Egypt
Positive section of review
- Very nice private sandy beach right next to the reef, 2 diving schools within walking distance - Plenty of food offered, including a lot of veggies. The meal time windows are relatively flexible - Resort looks a bit outdated, but it’s overall clean and comfortable - Most of the staffs are friendly and helpful, and nobody actively fishes for tips which is nice for Egypt

- They try to be international by doing themed dinners, but they are at most an attempted imitation of cuisines they are unfamiliar with using Egyptian ingredients. It makes no sense to me, it would have been much nicer if they can offer more Egyptian food options instead. There are veggie dishes, but not many protein options for vegetarians, I would have expected to see more local bean stews etc. - Overall we had a good stay, and we were also able to eat at the restaurant on the day after our checkout, which was convenient. However, we felt ripped off due to the 30 Euro taxi fare for a 20 mins ride to the airport, offered by the resort. The problem is that once you are there, you are kind of trapped in the middle of nowhere and they can ask for whatever ridiculous price they like. The front desk also “helped” us exchange a 50 euro bill to a lot of coins and a 20 euro note. Surprise surprise, the taxi coordinator (inside of the resort) refused to take the coins. So basically, the receptionist used us to get rid of the coins he didn’t want. This final interaction just before our departure killed our mood. We were happy with the resort but left there with a nasty taste - Make sure you have everything you need with you. e.g. Nivea sunblock would cost 25 euros at the resort pharmacy. I really don’t know how these resorts have the audacity to ask for crazy prices when the local income level is so low. When travelling in Egypt, I often feel stupid as I almost always end up paying prices which are up to 10 times in some cases only because I’m not Egyptian. This is a general observation, not related to the sunblock example - During our 5 nights stay, we spotted 2 cockroaches, 1 outside in the building, 1 in our bathroom

A very clean hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The reception was very warm. The staff was very friendly. The hotel is close to the pyramids. We thank Mr. Pico, who is responsible for meeting all our demands.

- Front-desk is friendly but not really helpful. They offered us taxi ride to the airport for 500 EGP, but via Uber we only paid 200 EGP. The boat tour they offered was also not that great, the program was worse than what’s advertised - Our flat had almost no natural light in the living room

- Although we booked for a 20 sqm room with balcony as advertised on booking.com, we got a approx. 12 sqm with no balcony. The room was located right next to common bathrooms and front desk and it was noisy at night. After we complained, we got moved to a much better and bigger room for the second night - The building was pretty but badly maintained. There’s also a dumpster of rubbish right outside of the window. But I guess that’s just Cairo, nothing the hotel can do - Maybe it’s cultural but the place got noisy even early in the morning due to the chatting among staffs

Crazy stuff: 1. They don’t know how to contact with guests. The waiter grab the orange from our table with words “Is it for me?” and started laughing when see our confused faces. 2. They try to get in your private area. The animator stood between us and tried to stop us when we just walking around the area. Cheap, tasteless and poorly prepared food. Caught plastic in dinner roll. The cookers are terrible cooks. They just spoil the food.
