Hurghada Long Beach Resort Hilton: Nice Resort Compare Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I visited this hotel/resort for a week at the end of September/October, having been somewhat put off by the previous review of this hotel listed here.

    I wasn't really expecting to have much of a good time due to that review but was pleasantly surprised.

    The resort is on an All Inclusive basis with food/drinks available from 6.30am to Midnight in the various bars/restaurants dotted around the complex.

    It is a self contained resort which has its own private beach with aqua sports/activities available plus various activities (volleyball, waterpolo, football, etc) arranged by the hotel staff.

    Some of the rooms are closer to the sea than the reception/main restaurant but none are more than 3-4 minutes away.

    The food was good especially in the beach side Mediterranean restaurant with proper waiter service instead of a help yourself buffet in the main restaurant. Some of the dishes here cost extra on top of the All Inclusive price but there were still some dishes included, so you could still dine here without paying extra. Having said that we had pizza one day here and they only cost 30 Egyptian pounds each (GBP 3), so even the food you paid for was cheap.

    Our room did have a fridge (unlike stated in the previous review).

    Unique Qualities: The pools were nice, large and clean.

    The food was good, not great, but good, especially the Mediterranean restaurant.

    There are a number of shops on site to buy souvenirs, everyday items, photo developing.

    It has it's own private beach if you prefer that to the pool.

    The sunshine is almost guaranteed. The whole time we were there, we did not see one cloud, so I would recommend it as a sun holiday where you might want to do lots of relaxing.

    We found all the staff very friendly and helpful and had no problems at all during our stay.

    I would recommend this resort and advise people not to be put off by any bad reviews you may see on the internet. It might take the shine off your holiday before you've even got there for no good reason.
