Is bottled water free at all-inclusive resorts in Hurghada, or do you have to buy it?

Travelers still commonly ask whether the room minibar gets refilled with free water before their trip.

Guests often ask if bottled water is provided everywhere or only in limited quantities.

Hotels offer paid lounger reservations with a beach box filled with ice and drinks of your choice — soda, juice, beer, and bottled water. Cost is about $12/day, or around $116 for a 10-day package (cheaper per day).

Housekeeping delivers 2 bottles of water (0.7 L) to the room daily. Water is also freely available at the beach bar, pool bar, fridge, and in the restaurant.

Some guests ask in advance whether the hotel uses a water cooler or bottled water, since it's often unclear before arrival.

You can buy an extra 1.5 L water bottle at the on-site shop for about 25 Egyptian pounds if the free allowance isn't enough — confirmed by a family traveling with a small child.
