How good is the buffet food quality (fresh vegetables, salads) at Egypt all-inclusive resorts?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 10 days ago
TL;DR
Buffet quality varies a lot by hotel and can decline over time even at solid 4-star resorts — travelers report finding rotten tomatoes and stale cabbage salad. Ask staff to cut avocado fresh in front of you instead of taking pre-cut pieces from the station.
What the community said
At one 4-star resort, guests repeatedly found a rotten tomato, and the cabbage salad at the buffet always looked stale. Staff, animators and bartenders were trying hard, but the overall concept was noticeably cut back compared to a visit in February — no desire to return.

Tip based on guest feedback: pre-cut avocado sitting out at the buffet station turns dark and unappetizing quickly, which annoys guests — it's better if hotels display whole avocados next to other vegetables (like peppers) and slice them on request.

Practical tip for guests: if you want fresh avocado from the buffet, ask staff to slice it right in front of you instead of taking pieces that have been sitting at the station — this way it won't darken and stays appetizing. Also noted: a one-week stay is usually enough to sort out any service issues at the hotel.
