First, the delight! The quality and variety of food is excellent! The sea is great! The area and cleanliness are excellent! The room is fine.
The main two disadvantages that spoiled the impression:
1. frequent and prolonged absence of cold water in the shower. I had to try to rinse myself with boiling water.
2. Frequent power outages. The air conditioner was turning off. Stuffy.
In our room, after the power was turned on, the air conditioning and lights did not turn on automatically, we had to contact the reception. Wait for the arrival of the master.
So, the day before the flight home, there was no cold water in the shower again, and at night the electricity was cut off again. The room was eerily quiet and stuffy.
The call to the reception didn't solve anything.
We tried to sleep in an airless and hot space until the morning, because an open balcony did not add freshness.
The last day and night at the hotel completely spoiled the initially enthusiastic impression of Arabia Azur Resort.
We stayed at this wonderful hotel in October 2024. First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to all the hotel staff for our unforgettable stay! Men are just great fellows: check-in, room cleaning, restaurant, beach, etc. Everything was great!!!
There are a lot of positive reviews about this hotel, and they are completely true.
We had 382 rooms with a wonderful view of the pool and partly the sea on the third floor. Initially, we did not pay for any particular type, because we decided to orient ourselves on the spot. We were asked at check-in which room we approximately want, we expressed our wishes and paid extra according to our choice. I can say that no one forced or extorted anything from us, as some guests write. We really liked the room, for which special thanks.
This hotel is for those who like a calm, measured, high-quality and sincere rest. If you need VIP and delights, then you are not here. Of course, the hotel is not new, but this is also its advantage - everything is worked out and soundly. A large, green, very well-groomed territory, a beautiful beach area where there are always free sun beds. By the way, most of the sun beds are wooden with soft mattresses. Comfortable lagoons where it is comfortable to swim even in very windy weather, a beautiful coral reef. Excellent food - not to say that there is some kind of huge abundance, but everything is there and everything is delicious. We like spicy and spicy food, and there are many such dishes here, but for those who like more dietary dishes, there is something to eat. Sweets and pastries for 5+ Saved us from gaining excess weight during the vacation by swimming, lack of an elevator and walking. Alcohol is good. However, we drank only dry wine and beer, unfortunately, I can't say anything about cocktails, we don't drink. The coffee is especially delicious in the view Bar above the reception.
Special thanks to the staff of the main restaurant - very attentive, friendly and hardworking. Everyone tries to make the guests feel comfortable. And although there were quite a lot of people in the hotel when we were relaxing, neither in the restaurant nor on the beach, in general, it was somehow not felt throughout the hotel. Probably because there are many different locations in Arabia, and guests are evenly distributed throughout the hotel, and the staff works very quickly.
The main contingent of the hotel are elderly Germans who really like to play cards, dice and other board games, so of course there are no stormy parties and hangouts here. There is daytime animation, as well as evening entertainment shows in the Theater, which is located in a separate wing of the main building. We went for a couple, we were not delighted, but it is difficult to surprise us, since we live in the center of St. Petersburg.
Many people write about room cleaning that it is of poor quality. I wouldn't say that. In general, with the constant wind that is present in Hurghada, it is quite difficult to remove sand, but it is just everywhere. Take separate slippers for the room, wash your feet and shoes after the beach and everything will be OK. They try to clean well, at least everything has always been clean.
Speaking generally: would we go to this hotel again? Without a doubt, yes. This is what many guests do when vacationing in Arabia for many years in a row. It's very cozy here, calm and sincere, Somehow homely or something. I definitely recommend this hotel!
A good, good-quality hotel for a family holiday. if you want to go to the reef and watch the fish, you want to splash in the lagoon with the children. The food is good: every day there are three types of beef, plus every other day either lamb or seafood or grilled turkey. Alcohol is only local, not delicious. Beer on tap - sahara, normal, light, only 3 degrees.
The main disadvantage is the airport. Queues, crush, confusion
