Parrotel Beach Resort

Yvonne Squance

A lovely hotel, for all ages. Entertainment during the day and evening. Access to the private beach via an hourly shuttle bus, with snacks and drinks included. I cannot fault the service provided throughout the hotel, as long as you treat everyone with courtesy and respect (there were some guests who seemed unable to do this) the staff were polite and helpful to you. Our room was spotless and fully air-conditioned (thankfully) as it reached 40° on our second week! We definitely enjoyed our stay, it was totally relaxing.

We just spent an amazing week in this hotel. The room was big and comfy, service was outstanding. The food was delicious, the beach was absolutely lovely, the massages were relaxing and the evenings entertaining. The biggest “thank you” goes to the staff, lovely, professionals who smile all the time. We will be back.

Had a great stay here and already looking at going back, all the staff are friendly and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and fun. Location is great with a pier on the private beach to take you out to snorkel and see the fantastic sea life on offer. The pool tables could do with and upgrade or at least a level ground. But you are really going to Egypt to play pool and it can create a laugh anyways! Facilities are great and I can thoroughly recommend

We have stayed in the hotel in March 2024 during Ramadan Hotel is situated not far from the airport – around 10-15 min in the car which cost us £10 as we used one of the local taxis. If you are using the taxi from the hotel it will cost you around £30-40. So its up to you where you booking the taxi. Lets start from positives: - Hotel grounds are literally 10/10 In the morning you can see lots of gardeners taking care of the lawn, flowers, pebbles - Amazing coral reef This was one of the reason we chose the hotel. The reef is literally breath taking. Lots of colourful fishes; if you want to use snorkelling equipment hotel is charging £3 per day - One heated pool located close to the beach; not very deep. Excellent for kids - Even though we stayed during Raman the staff was so really nice and friendly - Location of the hotel is great if you want to go to Soho shopping centre or Old Egypt - Hotel is baby and pushchair friendly - Shops outside of the hotel – overpriced, most of the Egyptians will try to drag you in - kids club during the day Negative: - Bathrooms are very poor standard and unfortunately they do smell! - There is aircon in the bedroom. As nobody probably cleans the vents, they blow out a lot of dust which accumulates on the floor. - Dirty baby chairs. We stayed in this hotel for 10 day and we did not have a day when baby chair was clean. Very disappointed from that as there is a lot of staff in the restraint - The food is one of the biggest let downs. Expect the same food every day especially at the breakfast. They may change 2 meals during the lunch and dinner but that’s it - Food labels all of the place. Allergies not displayed - Not suitable for vegans – not a lot of choices expect from chips and steamed vegetables - Prices at the SPA are the same as in UK - £60 per massage. After haggling the manger dropped the price for £35. He said that “English people are rich” so they can afford prices like that. - Entertainments: I think there were one of the worst entertainment I have ever seen (expect from fire show). As they could not find adults to take part in the show they were encouraging teenagers. Which for me it’s a bit wrong as some of the tasks required them to act sexy or take of their tops.

We were looking for a relaxed holiday, no excursions or organised trips. They were available. We just enjoyed the beautiful grounds that were magical at night when lit up. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Any problems we encountered were dealt with immediately. The general managers were constantly observing for staff efficiency and always available for comments and suggestions. The all inclusive was very convenient and meant there was absolutely no need to carry cash within the confines of the hotel. On the negative side, the hotel advertises itself as 5 star. My impression is that it is a 3star. I believe the hotel is 23 years old and there are areas that refute it's 5 star claim. Some of the bed linen is aged and in need of renewing. The restaurant food whilst being palatable is lacking variety and choice. Too much Chicken and too little choice of meat and Fish. I am personally surprised that the very bony fish has not caused some choking episodes. 5 star quality is much higher in both quality and choice. Usually offering a choice of at least two Carvery joints at Lunch and Dinner. The sweet choices were varied and colourful but not very different in taste. The choice of wine was Red or White, both of which were the lowest grade of cheap boxed wine and very watery. Likewise the beer. We had a very restful and enjoyable two week stay. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend this hotel. I think the staff were worthy of praise and delivered the best service that could be expected of them to deliver with the tools and produce they had at their disposal. Our thanks to staff from reception to Restaurant and bedroom services. We had a lovely holiday. Brian and Lisette.
