TL;DR
Traveler reports suggest dishwashing standards vary in Egyptian all-inclusive hotels: plates are often served hot and clean, which may indicate dishwasher use, while reusable plastic cups are commonly washed by hand with detergent. Some guests, however, say cups are occasionally only rinsed quickly under running water.
According to the most recent report, drinks in hotel restaurants may be served in reusable plastic cups. One traveler saw staff washing them by hand with detergent, but other guests mentioned that cups are sometimes only quickly rinsed under the tap rather than thoroughly cleaned.
One traveler noted that hotel restaurant staff clear used dishes from tables very quickly, even in extreme heat. This does not confirm the exact washing method, but it suggests high dish turnover and that dirty tableware is not left sitting in the dining area for long.
An earlier observation suggested that at least some plates in the restaurant may have been cleaned in a dishwasher: they were served clean and still hot at the buffet. That is often a sign of machine washing, at least for the main tableware.
