Is it worth paying extra for a higher-tier all-inclusive hotel in Egypt for better food and restaurants?

Not everyone is impressed by à la carte restaurants. In August 2026 a traveler passed on what other guests told her on the beach: those who had been said they went back to the main restaurant afterwards to finish eating, so she decided not to book a visit. She also noted that evenings outside were still hot and everyone wanted air conditioning, and she expected it to be more comfortable from October to May.

In July 2026 a traveler who has been going to Swiss Inn for three years in a row recommended it specifically for the food: there are five à la carte restaurants and no booking is needed — you can walk in and eat wherever and as much as you like. She rated the food as outstanding, especially the Lebanese restaurant.

According to a June 2026 review, the only difference between the 4-star and 5-star parts of the same resort was the food: it is more varied and better in the 5-star section. The guest suggested asking reception for a voucher, which lets you have dinner once in the 5-star section and judge the difference yourself before deciding whether to pay more.

The same reviewer wrote in June 2026 that the food at Laguna Club was fine: squid, fish, beef and chicken every day, and shrimp once during 7 days. Their conclusion: if the price difference is significant, it is not worth paying extra — better to go to a restaurant outside the hotel a couple of times.
