Is the all-inclusive food good in Hurghada hotels?

In a September 9 report, a guest said mango was served at dinner once on the first line and once on the second line during a three-day period.

In a September 18 report, a guest noted that staff brought drinks to guests; tea and cups also arrived eventually.

A recent guest found the food generally acceptable: over a 10-day stay, there was always something to choose. Tasty meat, fries, pancakes, and some grilled dishes were praised, along with a wide range of sauces and cheeses. Pastries were uneven in quality, but there were good options among them.

One guest reports breakfasting at the Posh a la carte lounge: menu-based food was acceptable, but service was slow — drinks arrived only after the meal was finished, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. No porridge/cereals available there, though not seen as a major issue.

One guest raves about breakfast, specifically praising a white spreadable item (cream-cheese-like) that becomes especially delicious when mixed with yogurt.

Guests rate the à la carte dinner poorly: it is essentially the same food as in the main buffet restaurant, with only nominally nicer presentation. They advise not spending time on it.

According to more recent feedback, the dish selection has declined even further: a week ago there was dolma and lyulya kebab, but the last two days it's just rice and pasta in various forms plus stewed chicken. Breakfast is still okay, but lunch and dinner are very meager.

Guests report huge queues for drinks at every meal (20-25+ people ahead of you), especially difficult with kids. Self-serve water is not available in the main dining hall — it's only offered at the beach bar.

One guest describes the outdoor grill zone as consistently tasty, serving various meats, fish, and seafood. There's also a chocolate fountain every night at dinner, and a praised lentil soup — this contradicts an earlier report that the hotel had no grill station.

One guest reports breakfast and pastries are tasty, but the coffee is very bad — contradicting earlier praise of the coffee.

New feedback: dish variety is small but everything is tasty; themed dinners (Lebanese night, seafood) are praised. However, tea is deliberately not served at dinner (a management decision), which guests find odd — they take dessert and go drink tea at the Waves bar instead. Figs are given out free every other day, and the kunafa dessert is tasty but costly to make.

Another guest reports the hotel has no grill station, no smoothies, and no beach service (drinks aren't brought to guests), with a generally limited food and drink assortment. Positives noted: freshly ground coffee at the main bars and crushed ice in cocktails, not seen at other hotels.

At breakfast, sausages are basically the only meat/fish option, but this is considered normal — overall breakfasts are rated as good.

Dinners are themed (e.g. Spanish or Lebanese night), which can make choice harder for picky eaters, though no one goes hungry. Fruit availability is inconsistent — one guest says it's scarce, another notes fruit is placed near the desserts/tea-coffee area.

According to newer feedback, the food improved somewhat after the first days of the stay; at the same time there were fewer guests, so the restaurant felt less crowded.

Some guests feel the food is acceptable for the price: there is enough to pick from, but the menu becomes very repetitive within a week. One specific note was the absence of oatmeal at breakfast.

There are also new positives on drinks and specific items: guests praise the coffee, white wine, beer, and rum. They also note that soft cheeses/kaymak are now available not only at breakfast, but at lunch and dinner too.

Seafood and a few dishes are decent, but overall the food is at a 'you won't go hungry' level — nothing to rave about.

Ingredient quality has dropped: beef medallions at lunch were served undercooked. Portioned dishes from the bain-marie look unappealing. Fruit and greens selection is sparse. Food should at least be quality — that's not consistently the case here.

The food selection is limited — if dining matters to you, this hotel is not the right choice. For guests who don't prioritise variety, it's manageable.

The restaurant is overcrowded with a constant shortage of tables, glasses, and plates. Some dishes look and feel unappetising. Several guests experienced diarrhoea every other day despite eating simply (rice and meat).

Dinner can be decent if you arrive right at opening time — the selection is reasonable and there are no queues. Breakfast and lunch were disappointing: long lines for omelettes and very limited food variety.

Food quality this season is noticeably worse than last year — the ingredients seem the same but the taste is gone. Breakfast is the only reliably edible meal; lunch and dinner are so poor that some guests go hungry for days before checkout.

Overall disappointment with hotel food: breakfast, lunch, and dinner are very basic with almost no variety. The only bright spots are good pastries and desserts, plus unlimited water, coffee, and drinks without issues.
