How to choose between similar all-inclusive resorts in Egypt (e.g. comparing hotel chains before booking)?

A traveler shared their check-in experience: a courtyard-facing room with a balcony can differ a lot from a sea-facing block in the same resort, so it's worth confirming the exact room type before booking, not just the hotel category.

Another traveler was deciding between a hotel referred to as 'PR' and Novotel Beach, asking for input from anyone who'd stayed at both — similarly rated resorts can differ a lot in beach quality and food, so first-hand feedback is more reliable than star ratings alone.

A traveler compared their booking against Grand Rotana Resort & Spa and asked for advice from anyone who'd stayed at both — a common approach: before choosing between similar resorts, look for real guests who've experienced both firsthand.
