The hotel offers a superior location at the Red Sea and has a pleasant size. It takes only 30-40 minutes from Hurghada International Airport to get there. The majority (~85%) of guests is german speaking. In general we had a pleasant stay. Still there are some facets that might be improved. I would recommend a visit depending on the preferences one has. For surfers, sports- and beach lovers it s an excellent choice, while for gourmets or party tourists there are better options. Accordingly it s a good fit for couples, families or senior citizens.

Overall service is, as typical for Egypt, exceptional.

The spa provides good services, e.g. shaving or massages for a fair and negotiable price.

It is the place to be for any surfer that wants to have good wind during the majority of his/her stay. We had great wind - 4+ Beaufort nearly every day. Tennis courts are okay, I liked that they are not clay, but asphalt. The provided rackets are of good quality.
The golf court (by Steigenberger) is nice, but the gras could be greener.

Food quality is great, but 2-3 showcooking stations are not enough during the main season. Fresh smoothies would also be great for breakfast. The partner Hotel Steigenberger Golf is definitely ahead when it comes to food and drinks, luckily labranda guests may visit its restaurant (take the boat shuttle from the golf court to have a fast shuttle service). Eventhough the facilities were renewed lately it s obvious that these are matured (not only restaurants and bars, but in general) Additionally, the service sometimes was overwhelmed in the Marco Polo Restaurant. The all-inclusive supply could also be enlarged e.g. Ice Coffee or Mojito cost extra. Still the beverages are of good quality (mostly by Pepsi/ local producers).

Trips by meeting point are also recommendable.

I hope my review helps with your decision process.
