Is it worth paying extra for a sea view room at Sentido hotels in Egypt?

A guest staying in building 7 at Sentido clarifies the beach is actually a 10-minute drive/shuttle ride from the hotel, not a walk — the reception is only 5-7 minutes on foot from the room.

Guests who requested a sea view room were offered an upgrade at the front desk for $45 per night. The hotel was very busy at check-in, leaving little room for negotiation.

Guests who compared Sentido and Moreno concluded that 13 nights at Moreno felt better than 19 nights at Sentido — the difference in overall experience was significant.

Sentido is mainly chosen for its larger family rooms and on-site water park — key advantages for families with children. The beach is about a 10-minute walk away, with tuk-tuks available when you don't feel like walking.
