DON'T BOOK HERE TERRIBLE DIRTY HOTEL. WORSE HOLIDAY EVER. UNFRIENDLY UNHELPFUL. AWFUL.
GO IF YOU WANT A BAD STOMACH....
NEVER AGAIN.
No clean cups or glasses. No ice no straws... dirty cups and glasses.
No tables and chairs to sit on its like playing musical chairs waiting to pounce for vacant one.
Bedding that smelt of bad body odour not at all nice.
Don't use this hotel very poor you have been warned
Reception -slow
Room -very good near a small pool
Food -good always something eat
Drinks - took our own cups /glasses
Beach -lovely
Spa - annoying people pestering while trying to relax around main pool until got a red flag from reception very overpriced and too touchy feely as your trying to sunbathe :relax
Animation - spun us a story get us out with them about a non existent foam party in the town .. hour later back at hotel
Overall big hotel but not a palace and certainly not 5 star ! Will return to Egypt but give jasmines so called palace a miss ! :/

I so needed a restful holiday with sunshine, not how it turned out..... I am a female 64 years of age, travelling by myself. I arrived at the Hotel early evening, to probably the most inefficient check in I have ever experienced, a group of us sat there without being offered a drink for half an hour, eventually given a room number, I was shown to my room by a porter. On seeing where the room was situated, I was horrified, the outside lighting was poor, the block of single story building looked like staff accommodation, there was a road running at the back of the room, I immediately felt unsafe. I went in the room, it was very shabby, the shower rail half falling down, it had a kettle... bonus... no no where to plug it in, on3 socket in the 2hole room. I went straight back to Reception to ask to be moved, the chap I spoke to was downright rude, “ that is where we put English, do you wan5 to mix with Indians and Germans” he asked, I was horrified, he said they were full so I could not move until the next day. I was moved, the room was better, but the same shabby appearance, curtains hanging down and did not meet. The area around the pool was unkempt and poorly maintained. The service from the pool bar was virtually non existent. The bars in the hotel, are probably the worst I have ever had the misfortune to experience, liquor was slopped into a half pint glass, gin, whiskey, brandy vodka, was all that was on offer, utterly disgraceful. £15 for 7 day’s WiFi, no mention of that anywhere! Even then it is not guaranteed and only works by Reception.
Food was very average, but the restaurant is just not big enough to cope, you had to queue up to 10 minutes to get near the chafing dishes, by the time you get food and find a table, get your own drink, your food is cold.
Peaceful......Restful.... NO. The gardeners using a petrol mower mowed the grass all day, maintenance men arguing over the functioning of the pool constantly.
This hotel was a total disappointment, poor service, poor customer care, poor shabby accommodation.
Some of the official photos of the Hotel must have been taken when it was brand new, half of it is derelict, with builders and jack hammers a big giveaway that the whole place needs to be refurbished.

I am going to try and write as honest review as possible! I am not by any means a fussy person and will make the best of what I am given!
My hubby and I booked here after 2 of our friends had already booked! I looked at the reviews before booking but went with an open mind and prepared with my own glasses for the 4 of us!
On arrival my first impressions were good, we were booked in pretty quickly and shown to our room! I'd expected it to be dated as most of the reviews said so and they wern't wrong! But it was clean enough and we looked out onto the main pool so I was happy enough!
We quickly unpacked ( no where near enough hangers) and headed out for our first night!
My first impressions on the first night were ok! The drink flowed and the food that was left seemed ok but maybe that was because we were tired, hungry and excited?! Because the drink went downhill from then as did the service in our room!
The drinks were always warm, flat or both! The beer is served from bottles, well tbh every drink is! They have pumps but for some reason don't use them! The bottles are left open and just basically thrown into your glass so it goes flat! They constantly run out and or we found out after a few days, save it for the good tippers! They will not serve the wine by the pool so you have to either buy it at £17 a bottle or go upto the bar in the lobby and get it from there! My friend only drinks wine so this was a big thing for her! Luckily I had took some insulated large cups to keep our drinks cold ( had we got them cold lol) so we just used to go get one filled with wine so she could have a drink without having to walk upto the main bar from the pool for a very small glass of wine!!
The service in our room was totally different to my friends I have to say!
I left a tip every day and got worse a service than they did not tipping every day!!!!
We were left without water one day, I told reception who did ring straight to housekeeping but it never arrived!
I was then left for 2 days without the toilet roll being replaced and had to go around asking for more as both my hubby and I had dodgy tummies ( which still arnt better 3 days after returning home) but was very disappointed that basic services were not being kept up! We were also left one of the days with no towels, they were running late with the cleaning and said they would be back with towels! They did come back at 7.30 pm with one bath towel and one hand towel between us! That was on Our 8th day and we didn't get any others upto leaving on Our 10th day!! Our friends however, had no trouble and even got towel art most days so I think we just got a rubbish cleaner!
Because the drinks were so bad we were in bed every night by 9-930 there was simply nothing worth staying up for! We saw the entertainment once!! Had the drink been better it might have been worth staying up but it really was bad!!
The food was ok! Not brilliant but there was always something you could find! I especially liked the pasta!
The staff here it has to be said do a fantastic job and once you get to know them ( and tip them) they can't do enough for you!! ( except my room cleaner lol)
The managers in the restaurant were always nice and greet you with a smile!
As mentioned in previous reviews there is only one half of the hotel open, they are working on the other half but tbh that didn't bother us! I really don't know though how this hotel is going to cope when the other side opens! They are already stretched to the limit and run out of everything from coffee cups to glasses and we saw on more than one occasion the staff going round the bins and retrieving the plastic cups, washing and reusing them!!! They will need to seriously restock and more than double everything up!!
With the right management and a refurb this hotel could be lovely! The grounds are lovely as is the pools!
Sadly we will never return here and would rather pay extra to stay elsewhere where we were told they have lovely cold beer on pump, wine of varying description all over the hotel, even by the pool and lovely g&t served cold!!
I would definitely return to Hurghada but will steer clear of this hotel!
I only hope that anybody reading this and already booked here that the management start taking notice of what people expect from a hotel of this size and the service expected!
Personally I would rate it as a 3 star at the most!
