How do you book an à la carte restaurant at a Hurghada resort using the self-service terminal, and do you need to cancel the reservation afterward?

If you get a late à la carte slot, such as 8:00 pm, some guests first eat in the main buffet restaurant and then go to the booked restaurant afterward.

You usually do not need to manually return or cancel the booking after dining: once you have visited the restaurant, the reservation slot is treated as used automatically.

The terminal can show an error even after multiple attempts, so if it does not confirm the booking after about 10 minutes, the issue is likely with the machine itself or with slot availability for that day.
