Is it worth booking a club-level room at an all-inclusive resort in Sharm el Sheikh, and how does the club beach towel policy work?

The club towel system confuses many guests: staff provide towels on the club's own beach, but if you leave the club area (public beach or excursion), you need to bring your own towel — there's no separate distribution outside the club zone.

Many travelers prefer the club format: quieter, calmer, with a private lounge, separate beach and pool. If you want animation and nightlife, the club setup isn't for you.

The Alcazar hotel is praised for room quality: good mattresses, shower gels/shampoos, pillows, terraces/balconies, sunbeds and a clean beach — many guests return there. Barcelo impressed less: small sea entry, though acceptable given the number of guests.

Jaz Elite Palace (former Iberotel) is called one of the best for beach quality in this price range: a gentle, long sea entry, a higher hotel class than Barcelo, comparable in beach quality to Maritim.
