Silver Beach Boutique Hotel in El Quseir

Am sure on the height of summer this could be a nice place to stay, but my personal experience was mostly let down by the poor weather and absence of any activities, hence only 2 stars. The room was lovely but as the water is solar heated there was never any hot water. The strong northerly wind meant you couldn’t go into the sea so no snorkelling and too chilly to sunbathe. Also the jetty is unfinished so even if the weather permitted it would be difficult to get to the deeper water. There is literally nothing to do here or near, apart from visit the nearby archeological site of the old port (nothing signposted you can just explore by yourself). The staff on the whole were lovely, as others have said, though the manager is less than genuine, particularly when it comes to money grabbing. The food was not so good, stale breads and dishes being reused day on day (though I must admire the frugality of the chef in recycling) and at the time there were no other options as everywhere else was closed. Neighbouring resorts won’t let you walk thru so you can’t even walk along the beach very far. The town has little to offer apart from the fort and the opportunity to see a non-touristy town in operation. Would not recommend unless you can guarantee good weather.
