TL;DR
If your hotel will be closed for renovation before check-in, ask the tour operator for a replacement hotel or package cancellation. Alternatives mentioned in the discussion include Maritim, Al Kasr in Sahl Hasheesh and Titanic.
On 16 September 2026, travellers considering cancellation after a hotel change reported an expected refund wait of about a month. With little time left before departure, they accepted the replacement hotel instead.
One option is to cancel the package with the current tour operator and book again through another operator if the proposed replacement is unsuitable. Maritim was mentioned as a preferred alternative.
If you prefer not to cancel, consider the replacement options discussed: Titanic and Al Kasr in Sahl Hasheesh. Before confirming, check the beach entry and water depth if those matter to you.
When a hotel is scheduled to close for renovation, ask your agent for written confirmation of the booking status and the available replacement or refund options before departure.
