What the community said
The main buffet on the ground floor has a great variety of dishes, while the second floor offers noticeably less choice. Overall, the food is decent — better than some other Egyptian hotels, though not quite up to Turkish resort standards.

Stomach issues after the à la carte restaurant may have been caused by a norovirus rather than food quality alone — many locals were dining there at the time. The restaurant looks a bit worn but is not critically bad. Locals generally know where to eat well.
