Is a standard all-inclusive package enough at a Sharm El Sheikh resort, or is an upgraded package worth paying extra for?

TL;DR
Travelers suggest that a standard all-inclusive plan is generally sufficient; upgrading is only worthwhile for specific extras you will actually use. One option included access to neighbouring Steigenberger hotels and their promenade, but did not offer regular shows.

Excursions can be bought from a seller in the hotel lobby under the stairs. Reportedly, his prices sit between the high rates charged by hotel guides and local online agencies, so compare the itinerary and price online first.

When choosing a resort, focus on value for money rather than expecting every all-inclusive property to provide the same services. The best choice depends on your priorities: food, grounds, entertainment and paid extras.

According to one traveler, the regular all-inclusive package is enough without paying for an upgrade. This option also allowed guests to use neighbouring Steigenberger hotels and walk along their promenade, although there were no show programmes.

If booking all inclusive, check exactly which basic services are included: a traveler warned that being charged extra for expected essentials can be disappointing. Compare the standard and upgraded package descriptions before paying.
