Should I upgrade to a Superior room at an Egyptian resort to avoid an old Standard Lagoon View room?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 24 days ago
TL;DR
Guest reports suggest that some Standard Lagoon View rooms are in the older, worn-out section of the resort. If room condition matters, confirm a Superior or renovated room in writing before arrival rather than relying on the standard category.
What the community said
One guest who had paid for a Superior room reported being placed in an old Standard room, specifically an accessible room, with a possible move only the following day. Check that the room category matches your voucher immediately at check-in.

A traveler specifically questioned the condition of Standard Lagoon View rooms, indicating uncertainty about this category. Before booking, ask the hotel whether the allocated room is in the renovated section and when it was last refurbished.

One report makes the trade-off clear: guests may end up in very old rooms unless they pay extra for a renovated category. Travelers who care about modern furnishings and bathroom condition should choose the upgraded, refurbished option.
