Why doesn't my all-inclusive resort in Egypt have mango on the buffet?

TL;DR
Resorts typically serve mango only when it's cheap (around $1/kg, usually late July-August), though some hotels skip it in the buffet even during the cheap season to cut costs.
What the community said
One traveler reported visiting the same resort four times in August (when mango cost just $1/kg on the market) and still never saw mango on the buffet — suggesting some hotels simply skimp on fruit regardless of season.

Hotel buffet fruit selection tends to follow market prices: mango appears when it's cheap (~$1/kg, typically in season), while in winter hotels usually offer strawberries and tangerines instead, which disappear in summer.

If your current hotel isn't offering mango, it may be worth checking other properties — many resorts already have it on their buffet, meaning availability often comes down to individual hotel policy rather than market shortage.
