TL;DR
Food at Egypt all-inclusive hotels is hit or miss — grilled meats tend to be overcooked and underseasoned, pasta is often poor quality, but bread rolls, soups, fries, and desserts are generally decent. Spices are available on tables.
What the community said
Among side dishes, fresh tomatoes are the best bet but disappear quickly and are often pre-cut and sitting out. Fish with lemon and braised chicken or beef are decent. Pasta is notably bad — best avoided.

Breakfast bread rolls are a highlight — many guests take them with butter back to the room. Soups are light and pleasant. Sweets and chocolate are consistently good.

Grilled meats are typically overcooked and very underseasoned. Spices are available on the tables so you can season to taste, but the overall cooking quality is disappointing — especially for those with higher expectations.

Fresh local mangoes in late May to early June are far better than supermarket ones back home. Bought on arrival, they ripen further over a couple of days and make an excellent alternative to hotel desserts.
