Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago
TL;DR
Based on these reports, hotel staff in Egypt are generally friendly, and the experience often depends on how respectfully guests interact with them. Vendors offering ice cream, massage, or excursions may approach more than once, but were described as open and positive rather than aggressive.
What the community said
The most recent report says there was no rude behavior from staff; if anything, guests received plenty of attention. The practical takeaway is that service at Egyptian resorts often mirrors the guest’s attitude: calm and respectful communication usually gets the same in return.

The earlier message notes that resort staff offering ice cream, massage, and excursions do tend to come by more than once. However, they were described as friendly and easy to talk to, so for many travelers this feels more like normal resort sales activity than hard pressure.

Another review suggests the service experience can be very positive: some travelers reportedly return to the same Egyptian hotels 15, 30, or even 50 times. This is presented as a sign of guest loyalty and consistently good treatment from staff toward repeat visitors.
