Some of them are pretty nice but in the evening if you want to have a bear from bar, and you are not seated, they kind of ignore you (at least that was my experience).
We had a family room, nice, big, clean. 1€ in the bed means you get water in the fridge and cleaned room.
I like their food and friendliness when you eat. They smile and try to be friendly.
Remember you have to trade with them otherwise you will pay more than you should, especially when there is no price attached to the good you buy — they like to negociate.
Also, the sea has corals and fish, bring a snorkeling mask. The experience is nice (swimming between corals and fish) and you should try it.
Mostly is about the culture here that could be new for you, but you should accept it and enjoy it.
Overall a beautiful experience 🤩

A very nice hotel, but unfortunately the service is very disappointing. At some bars, you're not served for half an hour, or if you get a pizza, you have to plan on waiting at least an hour. Unfortunately, I think there are very few bars, so you have very little choice. I find the staff very unfriendly and unmotivated (there are isolated cases where this wasn't the case: the entertainers or the beach bar bartender). What I was very disappointed about was the food. Even though there's supposed to be something for everyone, I found the selection very limited and nothing tasted good. We booked a room with a sea view and got a view of the hotel entrance, where buses and other things were running 24/7. In the room itself, things like water were never refilled or weren't available, like bathrobes, shampoo, and little things that you would have actually appreciated. The shower was leaking; every time I showered, there was half a sea of water everywhere except the shower. Sometimes you had to get up as early as 6 a.m. because you wouldn't have been able to get a lounger otherwise, or you had to pay €11 in an all-inclusive hotel to reserve one. Unfortunately, in my opinion, we won't be visiting this hotel again because, for the price, etc., it's not worth it.

We spent a week at the hotel. This was our 7th trip to Egypt and also the best one! I’ve never felt so good at any hotel before. I did a lot of activities with my daughters, the animators are really great people and they definitely know what they’re doing. The aqua gym isn’t just a good workout, it also feels like a team building activity, it’s so much fun. Everyone who works there (at the restaurant, bar, etc.) is attentive and kind. You shouldn’t miss out on this hotel!

Reception service is great, ALL other departments' services are below average to bad, from bars, restaurants to room services, and the worst is the towel centre !!
Service on the beach is a pain and extremely terrible, you can't find an umbrella or a single spot on the whole beach, even on what they claim for reserved spots. Even if you agree to pay €75 to reserve an umbrella (which is ridiculous), you can't still find a good spot and no one helps you efficiently!
Staying for 2 more days, but honestly can't wait to leave.

I’ll start by saying I visited 5 resorts of 5 stars in Egipt only in past 12 months, and no one can be compared with Fort Arabesque - WEST BAY ❤️.
Fort Arabesque has NEW furniture, NEW showers, NEW toilet, very modern!
Fully recommend! Perfectly clean, all new furniture, everything smells good, all the services are amazing.
Very happy to find a new spot this year in the West Bay restaurant, the Mexican corner “La Cantina”.
Chef Antonio Gomez is the best, very nice person and good chef. This corner is the spice which Fort Arabesque was missing!
The Animation team is very nice, we had fun all together in the clubs in Hurghada. Very safe and protective! Thomas and all the other guys and girls from the team are very sweet!!!
About the beach, the coral is amazing, the beach as well.
One thing I’m upset about is the kitesurf spot they used to have, this year it was closed. Since I’m a kitesurfer, i was very excited to have the kite spot here, but this year i had the surprise to find it closed. This was a bit disappointing for me, because was one of the main reasons to come here again, but I’m not even sure this has to do with the hotel or not. The main kitesurf spot is at another hotel, and they came by boat to pick me up, which made things work, so in the end was all good. 🤙🏽
In the end, we are very happy. We keep coming back here, like most of people i met here in the resort!
What i would ask for:
- late breakfast
- one more toilet and one more beach shower in West bay area.
