Rotana or Club-category room at a comparable Egyptian all-inclusive resort — which is better?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
The Club category at the comparable resort (referred to as 'PR' in chat) gives a private clean beach, its own pier, a separate breakfast restaurant and wine before dinner, but in 2026 the beach got more crowded with 5-10 daily tourist boats docking; Rotana's food is clearly better, and pricing is about the same.
What the community said
A traveler who booked the Club category this season noted the beach felt more crowded — the area was compacted, and now 5-10 tourist yachts dock there daily. She rated the food as clearly worse than at Rotana, while room prices for the Club category and Rotana ended up being the same. She's also tired of returning to the same resort and wants to try other options.

One recommendation: book specifically the Club category — it includes a private clean beach, its own pier (not just a pontoon), a separate breakfast restaurant, and decent wine before dinner. The reef in this area has faded a bit, but the same fish species are still there. After experiencing the Club category it's hard to pick anything else, though returning to the same place every time also gets tiresome.

Another comment cited people who switched from the 'PR' resort to Rotana last year, saying Rotana was inferior. The commenter plans to visit PR personally in autumn to compare firsthand.
