Which hotels near Sahl Hasheesh have good sea access for swimming (not affected by low tide)?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
Hotels in the Rewaya area offer good service but poor sea access — the water recedes far at low tide and there's nothing outside the resort. For actual swimming and beachside walks, choose a different part of Sahl Hasheesh.
What the community said
Hotels in the Rewaya zone of Sahl Hasheesh have decent facilities and service, but the sea is essentially inaccessible — outside the resort there's only desert. If you want evening walks along a promenade or comfortable swimming with adequate depth, avoid this area. It only suits guests who plan to stay entirely within the resort.
