We would like to give a special thanks to Mostafa, Ahmed, and Abdallah from the pool team, Mina, the bartender at the splash pool bar, and Mr. Ghaly, the manager. They were there for us every day and truly made our stay unforgettable. Thanks to them, our family of eight had an amazing holiday. The service was excellent (10/10) – the staff were extremely kind, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Mina, the bartender, deserves a special mention as well. He made delicious cocktails and always greeted us with a smile, which made our time at the splash pool bar even more enjoyable. The housekeeping team also stood out. Every day they surprised us with creative towel art, and the rooms were always spotless. Their attention to detail and dedication ensured that our stay was comfortable and pleasant. We also really enjoyed the animation team. The activities were well-organized, and the animators were friendly and fun, making every day entertaining for all ages. Although officially a 4-star hotel, it truly deserves 5 stars. The service exceeded all expectations. The food was diverse and delicious, and we were pleasantly surprised to have free access to all seven à la carte restaurants, which were all excellent. The hotel is connected to the neighboring Le Jardin hotel, where guests can also enjoy the facilities. The aqua park slides were fantastic and fun for all ages, even adults. A minor point of improvement could be the bathrooms, as they are a little dated. However, compared to the outstanding service and overall experience, this was hardly an issue for us. We can highly recommend this hotel and would love to return.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely superb experience at Jaz Elite Asteria! I had a dream stay at Jaz Elite Asteria and I can honestly say that it is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever been to! Everything is new, modern and impeccably maintained, which offers a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere from the first step into the resort. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, equipped with all the necessary amenities for perfect comfort. The cleanliness is impeccable, and the bed is extremely comfortable - a real treat after a day spent at the beach or by the pool. The food was excellent, with a rich variety of fresh and tasty dishes, and the service offered in the restaurants was top notch. The staff is very kind, attentive and always with a smile on their faces, ready to help with anything you need. Massaouda Mazni was especially kind, nice and very friendly with us as if we had known each other for a lifetime.. The pool area is a real paradise – comfortable sun loungers, clean water and a peaceful atmosphere. In addition, the location of the hotel is excellent, close to the beach and local attractions. I highly recommend Jaz Elite Asteria to those looking for an elegant, new and refined place to completely relax and enjoy premium services. I can't wait to come back!

I recently had the great pleasure of staying at the newly built Serry Beach Resort during my vacation, and I must say it was an amazing experience that surpassed all my expectations. From the breathtaking views to the excellent service, this hidden gem was simply exceptional. One aspect that truly caught my attention during my stay was the level of exceptional service provided by the entire team. In particular, I would like to commend the amazing receptionist, Monaem. From the moment I entered the resort, Monaem offered a warm and genuine welcome that made me feel like a cherished guest at Serry Beach Resort. His professionalism and attention to detail were perfect throughout my stay, ensuring that I had everything I needed to truly enjoy a memorable vacation. Monaem was a reliable source of information and provided interesting recommendations about nearby tourist attractions, restaurants, and activities based on my preferences. His dedication to ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of guests was evident in his willingness to fulfill any request. Whether it was arranging reservations, providing transportation, or even offering valuable tips, his hospitality and warm reception to guests were truly exceptional. The resort boasts tastefully decorated and well-appointed rooms, offering breathtaking views either of the sea or the charming gardens. Additionally, the cleanliness and attention to detail in the room design added an extra layer of comfort to my stay. Serry Beach Resort's calming environment encompasses all the elements for a serene and rejuvenating experience, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the natural beauty surrounding them. The dining experience at Serry Beach Resort offered diverse and exceptionally high-quality cuisine. From delicious local dishes to international options, the resort's restaurants catered to all tastes.

    We had a very good time staying at this hotel. From the start, the manager, Mr. Abanoub Tharwat, welcomed us kindly, and everything after that was very nice. The hotel looks beautiful with decoration that shows real Egyptian culture. The lobby is big with plenty of space to sit and relax. There was live music every evening during our stay, which made the atmosphere very pleasant. The staff in the lobby were always helpful and brought us many drinks from the menu when we asked. The staff are very caring and made us feel comfortable. For example, I had some back pain, and when I told them, they quickly brought me an extra mattress to help me sleep better. Also, the reception called to check if we needed anything else, which we thought was very thoughtful. The hotel pools were great! There are both warm and cold pools and even an Aqua Park for adults and children separately. There is also a snack and drink bar by the pool, and the staff there were quick to help with whatever we needed. The food was one of the best parts of our stay. There was so much to choose from cold and hot dishes, grilled food, soups, desserts, breads, and drinks. Everything looked good and tasted even better. Whatever you ask for, they try to provide, which is really amazing. The hotel and rooms were very clean, and you can see they take good care of everything. Our room had a very comfortable bed and a sunny balcony, which was perfect for relaxing.

    Everything in this resort is amazing. My priority, in any resort/hotel, is a quiet place for a good sleep. This resort is so quiet and they preserve it in every detail. You dont hear stuff making noises, bothering guests with machines, no guests are talking loud outside of your room. No loud parties and no music during the day. You can relax and just chill anywhere without being hammered in the head. Amazing time I had. And to add, perfect cleaning, food is so tasteful and all stuff is super nice. Location is also something else. Away from all the city noise and all you can hear are the waves and birds!!

    Hurghada is an amazing destination that truly has something for everyone! The Red Sea is absolutely stunning — crystal-clear waters, colourful coral reefs, and incredible marine life make it a paradise for swimming, snorkelling, and diving. The city offers a great mix of relaxation and adventure, with plenty of excursions, water sports, and boat trips to nearby islands. The weather is perfect almost all year round, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Locals are friendly, helpful, and always make you feel at home. There are also many beautiful resorts, lively cafes, and excellent restaurants serving delicious Egyptian and international food. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or as a couple, Hurghada is the perfect place to relax, have fun, and enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sunny and unforgettable getaway!

    Some places offer excellent takeaway food.

    Some places offer excellent takeaway food. There is a public beach a little further away (a short walk across a small desert area) with exceptional underwater flora and fauna. Bring shoes for walking in the water. Please stay above or near the coral (personally, I didn't know there were risks to swimming too far from the reefs, namely sharks. But I didn't see any. On the other hand, there were some exceptional fish! Port Ghalib is a tourist spot but much, much quieter than Hurghada. If someone tries to sell you something, just say ‘La, chokram’ with a smile and everything will be fine. Don't forget to tip a little, as Egyptians earn very little (around €400 per month for a family of four). For activities, I recommend Royal Sea Tours (royalsea-tours.com), who are really great.

    I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea...

    I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea goes. My favourite place of all time is the Concorde Moreen Hotel, with the Hilton coming a strong second. We only ate at the hotels, because our time was limited. I used the taxi service offered online by Booking.com, which I found to be very efficient and reasonable. But I am also a seasoned traveller in Egypt and do not find it difficult to negotiate with taxi drivers. (It can be very useful to ask Chat GPT first what an average trip should cost you, if you are unsure, and then use that as a guideline for your negotiations.) It's an amazing experience to go out on a boat, but picking the right one can make the difference. I will be leaving my review on our experience separately (as it warrants a whole story on its own :))

    Very quiet town, simple and the sea is amazing.

    Very quiet town, simple and the sea is amazing. You can swim anywhere. No so much facilities ( food places, supermarkets,..) and pharmacies located around hotels. Weather is hot, limited gas stations and road is not preferable to be taken at night.

    The sea was beautiful.

    The sea was beautiful. Unfortunately strong winds kept me from going into the sea. We stayed mostly in the lagoons. There was no access to sea from the beach, only from the pier. The life guards were good and attentive.

    Very nice and friendly locals!

    Very nice and friendly locals! Not many tourists, no aggressive salesmen. The city is not rich, so expect some garbage lying around. Prices are generally very low, not adjusted for tourists (except at nearby hotels). We found only a few restaurants, but many fastfood places.

    Hurghada is a very busy place and popular with all nationalities. I was diving every day so 8 hours a day at sea. I didn't use the shopping centre this time but have done so in the past and it was great. It used to be that you would get harassed continually by traders but not so much these days they really have backed off. I know my daughters found that intimidating when they were younger but today its fine.
