Review of The Desert Rose Resort

A nice place to spend the week.

A nice place to spend the week.
The good:
- very large resort with open spaces
- 3 swimming pools
- sea access with enclosed area for swimming and water-sports
- large selection of restaurants
- friendly staff
The bad:
- internet access (wi-fi) is only available at the reception, bars and restaurants and it s very slow
- safety at the water slides (Aqua Magic area) is not great - injured my legs due to shallow pool at the end
- food tends to be mass produced and therefore not really impressive
- the main restaurant (The Palm) is mostly overcrowded

Tips and tricks:
- tipping (fitting place to discuss :) ) is customary so you should carry change with you
- the Ultra-All-Inclusive is worth the price - you get access to multiple restaurants ( the Italian is always free) and breakfast on the beach at the seafood restaurant (must try the Egyptian breakfast)
- arrange your trips at the hotel for convenience but keep in mind that it s all negotiable

Pictures are intended to have the least amount of people in them, there are quite a few tourists there...
