Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas

Hotel carino, stanze spaziose. Pulizia decente. Cibo 7/10. Prezzo corretto

First of all I must say that this hotel exceed my expectations. I knew that 4 stars hotels in Egypt can ne better than some of them with 5, but I always look of that with suspicious. This one is definitly better than some hotels with 5 stars in Egypt. Now, good things are: - Food: very delicious, better than in three other hotels we were before. Also, spoke with dozen of guests from different countries, and they all had same opinion about food. There's everything for everyone. Also, there's pizza and pasta bar from 12-17h, and some grill food (usually) at beach (where's also dinner very nice by sea). - Rooms: we got beatiful family room, very big and spacious. Besides room, everything in hotel was super clean, I mean all amenities - Activity: animation team was really active. Aqua gym, streching, yoga, samba, zumba, darts, volleyball, football, kids disco, oriental dance, music quiz, piano show in lobby. They were very kind every day, with big smile, not too pushy, but trying to involve a lot of people, and also all over the hotel was some of activities. If I could, I will just advice DJ that after Mini Disco show for kids, continue to play kids song, or at least some appropriate music videos, since a lot of kids stay and play around, and DJ played some videos and songs that really are not for kids - Noise: despite all of activities, we didn't hear a thing in our room. Isolation is great :) For those with kids, or who want to rest it is big deal - Service: except for beach bar (where is the most busy, so I assume that's why there are a bit nervous) everyone was super kind. From gardener, to houskeeping, receptionis, bell hop, servers. Good vibes and truly kindness - Sea: there is a several coral reefs on the beach which is great for snorkling. Rich sea life, lot of different kind of fishes. Things that we didn't like: Sunbeds: We almost decide to move to another hotel, when we realized this issue first day. The Hotel policy is that almost all of sunbeds are have reservation with room number, that had to be paid 11€ per day. This is absolutely unreal for us, and All-inclusive concept. We were shocked. This is also caused thah people are waking up at 6,7 am and run to the beach to left towels and "pick" some sunbeds Policy of Guest: Hotel have two wings (Fort Villas and Fort West) that is for adult only guest. That also means that two flanks of beach is reserved for them. That's problem since they are usually half-empty, especially because in villas there's private pools in every room. So, there is only middle of the beach with people with kids. Combine this with unreal policy of sunbeds reservation, and that's big trouble. All in all, we liked this place. My opinion is that they should deside is it just for adults or for everyone. I don't know how it is on summer, but during our stay, there was a lot of elder people, not much young people, so I didn't understand the adults only policy. Hotel is 20min driving from Hotel. We had flight late in

This was my 10th visit to Fort Arabesque in Makadi Bay, and once again, it did not disappoint. While I primarily come here for diving with iDive, the West Bay adults-only section is a gem in itself. The dining experience is, for me, truly a highlight. At dinner, you can have fresh beef, fish, or chicken expertly wok-cooked to your liking. The variety and quality of desserts and fresh fruits are outstanding – a true treat every single evening! The overall atmosphere, excellent service, and beautiful setting make this hotel the place I love going back to. Highly recommended for anyone seeking relaxation, great food, and a professional diving center in Egypt
