Should I book a pool view or pool access room at an Egyptian resort?

TL;DR
Pool view rooms are a solid choice, and rooms near the Cactus bar tend to be more private. Budget rooms often get free upgrades, so there's no need to overpay.
What the community said
Pool view rooms are good throughout the resort, but for more privacy, rooms near the Cactus bar are a quieter and more secluded option.

Swimming in the pool after closing hours is strictly off-limits — staff won't allow it regardless of tips or negotiations. Pools are cleaned with electrical equipment at night, making it genuinely dangerous.

If being close to the main pool matters, book a Deluxe main pool view room upfront — it's cheaper than upgrading later and avoids hassle. That said, budget rooms often receive free upgrades at check-in, so overpaying for a higher category isn't always necessary.
