The Grand Hotel: Hurghada's Grand Hotel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is a 4 Star Hotel and we were more than pleased with it. The grounds are absolutely beautiful; acres of Palm Trees; flowers, etc. The beach is gorgeous and clean. Rows and rows of loungers; also water slides for kids; 3 pools; large playground with 2 trampolines; all walkways were made of marble.

    Unique Qualities: Towels are provided when you go to the beach or pool. There are also lifeguards on the beach. The restaurants are all buffet style with a different theme each night. We had the half pension which was quite adequate. The restaurants are all very nice. There is only one where you can eat outside; this was nice to do early in the mornings.

    There are also small shops within the resort where you can shop to buy souvenirs; snacks, etc. Safety deposit boxes are also available thru the main desk (these are free of charge).

    All resorts are private and have security at the front doors. Locals were not a problem within the resort area.

    Grand Hotel: Security, security everywhere
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • At every resort, there are security guards everywhere you look. This is a photo of just one at the entrance to our hotel. There were about 4 standing outside the front doors. They keep the locals out. Also, this hotel shares it facilities (beach/pools/ etc) with the hotel across the street; The Grand Plaza Resort. Both hotels are very nice.

    I know when we go back in Dec/Jan, we will stay at the same hotel.

    Unique Qualities: Above anything else, the grounds at our hotel were well-kept and very clean. You see men working around the clock watering the Palm trees (that's right, they water the trees by hand with a simple garden hose). Also, they are constantly sweeping the marble walkways and polishing the step railings. And they get paid next to nothing.

  • The grounds at The Grand Hotel are beautiful. You will see many palm trees; flowers; etc. Just walking around here is a treat. You will also see many tourists photographing the different trees as many of them are covered in flowers.
