What alcohol is included in all-inclusive at Hurghada hotels (and what costs extra)?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 27 days ago
TL;DR
Most Hurghada hotels serve generic boxed house wine (no real brand), while spirits usually include Martini, Campari, Dewar's whisky, Absolut vodka, and local gin/tequila. Some cocktails like mojito served on the beach or marina may actually be paid despite staff saying 'free' — always check the drinks menu.
What the community said
At the beach/marina bar a waiter offered a mojito claiming it was free, then brought a paid drinks menu — always ask to see the menu upfront instead of trusting a verbal 'it's free'.

There's a wine display near the restaurant entrance, but when ordering a glass of white/red they don't specify the brand — most likely it's Obelisk. In the hotel bars, ultra/premium all-inclusive includes Martini (bianco, dry, rosso), Campari, Dewar's whisky, Absolut vodka, and imported gin/tequila.

When asked for the wine's brand, a bartender just said 'no name' and showed a boxed wine — a common situation at Hurghada all-inclusive hotels where house wine is generic and low quality.
