TL;DR
Most Egyptian all-inclusive hotels only restock the minibar with water (2-3 bottles of 1.5L per day) and leave the fridge otherwise empty; tea/coffee, sugar and a kettle are usually included, while soda, juice and beer are typically only available at the bar.
At the Rixos Radamis resort the minibar is well-stocked: fresh water daily, plus beer, juice and soda included. No slippers provided, only branded flip-flops.
In the club section, after breakfast the fridge gets restocked with canned drinks and alcohol, free to drink all day. In the main restaurant there are no canned drinks — only 3 types of boxed juice, and beer or cola must be requested from staff at the counter. For comparison, at Grand Rotana guests used to be able to grab canned drinks themselves.
Standard room setup includes three water bottles, Nescafe sachets, tea, sugar, a kettle and cups. On request, staff will bring up to five water bottles instead of three.
Sometimes hotels run out of the daily water allowance for a room and don't restock it at all — worth checking with reception or asking again if bottles don't show up.
Standard allowance for a room of four is 3 bottles of 1.5L water per day. The in-room fridge is otherwise usually empty.
The only free drink in the minibar is usually water, and it comes bottled rather than as a refillable jug/tap option.
Juice, soda and iced coffee are typically not stocked in the minibar — guests bring them to the room themselves from the buffet restaurant.
