Is it worth paying extra for a 5-star hotel in Egypt if 4-star guests can use the shared resort facilities?

TL;DR

At resorts with shared grounds, 4-star guests may generally use the 5-star facilities but not its restaurants. Compare the actual rates and check the room location, as an outlying building can mean long walks to dining areas every day.

What the community said

Paying extra for the 5-star section is not always necessary: in a resort with shared grounds, 4-star guests can often use most common facilities, while the 5-star restaurants remain restricted.

Do not rely on star rating alone: a 4-star stay can occasionally cost more than a 5-star one. Compare the final price for your dates along with the access rules for resort facilities.

Check the resort map before booking. If your room is near the passage to Blue while the main restaurant complex is in the central 5-star building, expect substantial walks to restaurants and food courts.
