Tamra Beach Hotel Egypt: renovated vs non-renovated rooms — which is better?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 28 days ago
TL;DR
Non-renovated rooms in buildings 4 and 5 have spacious full balconies, which many guests prefer over the renovated rooms that feature only a French balcony.
What the community said
Rooms in the main building are generally satisfactory, but avoid rooms facing the street with no balcony — that combination is considered the least desirable option.

The balcony view at Tamra Beach is genuinely impressive. The hotel is well-regarded, but the same Italian owners operate another property in Tower Bay that some guests rate even higher.

Non-renovated rooms in buildings 4 and 5 feature large open balconies that many guests value more than a modern fit-out. Renovated rooms gained floor space at the expense of the balcony, which is now just a French balcony — essentially a door rather than a usable outdoor area. The non-renovated rooms have an authentic Arabic-style interior, good plumbing, and quiet air conditioning.
