TL;DR
In Egypt hotels, a la carte rules depend on the property: the number of included visits, access without Ultra, and reservation method should be checked with guest relations or reception. Travelers most often ask whether reservations sell out, how many visits are allowed, and whether drinks are imported or only local Egyptian brands.
What the community said
One hotel reportedly includes four a la carte visits. Reservations can be made one day ahead via a QR code at the bar opposite the main restaurant, where a terminal is installed.

The Barracuda à la carte restaurant offers one complimentary visit with advance reservation; it is by the sea, and guests praise the atmosphere and food.

The most common practical issue is advance booking: travelers check whether reservations are handled by reception or guest relations and whether some dates are fully booked.

Travelers also ask about staying without Ultra All Inclusive: access to a la carte restaurants may depend on the wristband or package, so it is worth confirming before check-in.

For visit rules, the key question is how many times you can go: some hotels include one visit, while others tie the number of visits to the length of stay or meal plan category.

Another recurring question is alcohol in a la carte restaurants and bars: travelers want to know in advance whether imported spirits are available or only local Egyptian brands.

Travelers also compare hotels: for example, Radamis is mentioned as a place where getting an a la carte booking was difficult, so it is best to check availability as soon as you arrive.
