Which renovated room area should I choose in an Egyptian resort: Palm Area or Preferred Area, and which rooms have a bathtub?

For easier access to the beach and restaurant, choose a new Preferred Area room. However, a Preferred Area building near reception can be about as far from these facilities as Palm Area.

New Preferred Area rooms are reported to have showers rather than bathtubs. Travelers who specifically need a bathtub should request confirmation for the exact room category before booking.

Palm Area was previously chosen as a lower-priced option than Preferred Area. Before renovation, it was also preferred by guests who wanted a bathtub rather than a shower.

Bathtub availability in renovated Palm Area rooms remains unconfirmed: there are no reported examples or clear bathroom details for renovated units. Do not book Palm Area solely for a bathtub without written confirmation from the hotel.
