Description

Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas is a spacious 4-star resort in Hurghada built in 1997 and renovated in 2012, spread over 200,000 m². It features three distinct areas: the main Beach Resort building, the West Bay building, and a separate Villas complex, offering 521 rooms including family rooms, suites, and swim-up villas. The resort lies on a 900-meter private sandy beach just 150 meters from the sea, with excellent coral reefs for snorkeling. Guests can enjoy multiple swimming pools, including heated ones in winter, and a variety of restaurants and bars serving international cuisine. The resort offers extensive children’s facilities such as a kids’ club, playground, and dedicated children's pools. Additional paid services include a spa, diving, and watersports like windsurfing. The hotel is well suited for both family vacations and adult-only stays, with separate zones to accommodate different guest preferences.

Located on 32 K Hurghada Safaga Road in Makadi Bay, Fort Arabesque is approximately 23 km from Hurghada International Airport (HRG).

1. This hotel has a serious anti-Chinese policy. You can only eat at the main restaurant; smaller restaurants won't let you sit down without a reservation.

2. The hotel staff treat foreigners and Chinese people differently. They are rude to Chinese people and will angrily ask where you're from, or ask rhetorically, "From China? From China?"

3. The directions for going to the beach are unclear. If you get lost, you'll be rudely criticized.

4. The food was bad, and the variety was limited. It was very salty and high in MSG, so I had to drink a lot of water at night.

5. Agoda said we could check out between 12:00 and 13:00, but hotel staff knocked on our door twice, at 11:50 and 12:05. The first time they knocked so loudly I was startled, thinking something terrible had happened. At 12:05, after we opened the door, a hotel staff member stood at the door watching us leave. Later, we discovered that many foreigners could check out around 12:30.

5. While in Cairo, I had a pretty good impression of Egypt as a country, but after staying at this hotel, I feel I'll never come back. There's serious anti-Chinese sentiment and rude service. The driver also tried to overcharge, even though the price was agreed upon during the booking.

6. The facilities are old and dilapidated, and many activities require extra payment, such as €5 per hour for billiards.

7. Things inside the hotel are expensive, and there are no shops nearby.

8. Medical care and medicine are even more expensive when you're sick; it's like being ripped off.

A truly wonderful resort in an excellent location and a perfect beach setup. The entire property is well maintained, spacious, and full of greenery with varied architecture, making it suitable for all types of guests. Visitors are generally considerate, and everything is clean and in good condition.

The family rooms are well situated and fine. Whenever an issue arises, the staff responds immediately. The hotel is managed by an experienced Turkish team, and you can feel the professionalism in the way everything is organized. The service can be a bit inconsistent at times, but the staff genuinely tries their best and is always friendly.

The food is varied, and there is something for everyone. It’s not gourmet level, but it’s absolutely acceptable — after all, they aim to satisfy a wide range of tastes, especially the German preference for milder seasoning.

We would happily return and can definitely recommend this resort. The only downside is that the activity staff at the beach can be a bit too pushy with their offers. Other than that, everything is top-notch.

If I could give this hotel 100 points for its sea, service, and staff, I would. First of all, the food selection is extensive, and there's a restaurant specifically for Turks where we had dinner three nights a week. The kebabs were better than many places in Turkey; kudos to Chef Ali! Mr. Murat took great care of us and was very helpful from the first day to the last. All the staff were excellent, especially Mustafa Hamza, who was both very polite and funny. The reefs are fantastic; you swim among colorful fish. It's a hotel we would definitely choose again.

31.01.2026 Luis

I just had a wonderful holiday at fort arabesque! The place was so beautifully done and maintained, with the gardens, pools, bars and restaurants... Everything perfect!

The staff is so attentive, kind, and funny! Always in a good vibe, from the reception desk, to the animation team, restaurants, bars, house keeping, and everyone we met there.

The only thing that we were disappointed was the taxi from the hotel that we hired to bring us to the airport. During the trip, the driver used his phone while driving, to translate, and pressure us to tip him at the airport, saying things like "usually they tip me 15eur but it depends on your integrity" and other similar stuff. We found that very rude, like a scam.

We also loved the dinners at the beach bar, with the delicious barbecue, and the Greek restaurant. They both had great food and drinks, and great service!

Snorkelling at the house reef is just amazing! Just out of the beach you have access to an incredible diversity of fishes and colourful corals! Especial greetings to the lifeguards who were always nice to talk to, and gave us advices on how to stay safe.

Smoking is very common there, but I think that the outdoor restaurants should have non-smoking areas.

15.01.2026 Florina

Loved it! The only small drawback for me was the food in the main restaurant. Although there was a good variety and everything looked very appetising, I found the flavours bland. By comparison, the food at another hotel I stayed at previously (Aquaviva) was much better. That said, the Greek restaurant more than made up for it - the food there was excellent.

Oh and the pharmacy charging €12 for womens sanitary products is a complete rip off!!

10.01.2026 Julia

Overall, I liked the hotel. It boasts large, beautiful grounds, excellent food, and a special thank you to all the kitchen staff—the cooks and waiters—the service was unobtrusive, and the sea was beyond praise. There was just one drawback: our room overlooked a very noisy area where some equipment was running, making it impossible to sleep at night. When we asked to change to a quieter room, we were offered a virtually identical option, overlooking a construction site. If it weren't for this drawback, the hotel would be simply excellent, but we always want a vacation without the drawbacks.

Now it's my favorite place to relax and unwind. The hospitality and welcome from Mr. Ahmed were absolutely wonderful. Room 220 was an amazing recommendation with huge trace and panoramic view, The place is amazing, with a large, spacious beach. The furniture is distinctive and wooden throughout the restaurant and dining area. All the staff are very friendly, especially at the main restaurant. Thanks to Mohamed and Mahmoud. The pool bar is my favorite spot every day at sunset.

We stayed twelve days at Fort Arabesque
Resort, Spa & Villas and had a wonderful time.

Everything was clean, the food was good, and we didn't have any stomach issues at all - which was great.

A very special shout-out goes to the animation team. Every single member did an excellent job. The evening shows were entertaining, professional, and made us laugh a lot. After the shows, we often went to the beach bar, where we danced together and had a really fun time. These evenings were truly memorable.

You can feel how much passion and energy the whole team puts into their work. They were always friendly, positive, and created a great atmosphere every day. The animation team was definitely the highlight of our stay.

The beach is beautiful, the sunbeds were
often taken early, but we still always managed to find some.

Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable.

A fantastic stay overall, and we would happily return.

It lived up to expectations, and in some cases exceeded them. First trip there has just concluded (Nov 2025) and we rebooked for next year almost immediately.

The resort is large, with three distinct areas: West bay, Beach area and Villas. Beach (central) zone is amenable to families whilst the other two are for adults, but it is open plan and you never feel hemmed in. The grounds are beautiful with lush grass, palm trees and flowering shrubs, all interlaced with pleasant, meandering pathways on different levels. At night it is particularly beautiful because of the copious, soft lighting illuminating the flora and the abundant swimming pools.

The beach is wonderful and a cut above the adjoining hotels/resorts. Easy entry points are clearly marked and the sandy bottom ranges between 1-6M in depth, with numerous coral outcrops and and an abundance of fish. I totally recommend it for snorkelling.

Food and catering is exceptional at any level of all-inclusive package. The main restaurants offer a huge selection of fresh, appetising dishes. Really impressed.

Lots of resorts make really big claims about what they offer but, hand on heart, I can tell you that the management of Fort Arabesque truly walks the talk. They deliver EXACTLY what they claim to offer. The staff everywhere are simply delightful and attentive (love them all); the public areas and accommodation are impeccably clean and well maintained. We stayed in a duplex suite for part of our stay and the remainder in a beautiful villa. Irrespective of which package of accommodation you choose, I can guarantee that the same high standards will apply. 10/10

When I checked in, I had booked a Deluxe Family Room, but the front desk assigned me a completely different room type. The room I was given was about 10 square meters smaller than my original booking and located on the basement level with almost no natural light, while the Deluxe Family Room should be on the second floor with plenty of daylight.
What made the experience even more disappointing was that the front desk initially told me, “This is a very good room for you today.” When I realized the room type was incorrect and requested a change, they switched me back to the room I had originally booked, but without any apology. Overall, it left me with a very poor impression.
Other services were acceptable and generally standard.
If you want, I can also help you adjust the tone to be more formal, stronger, or more polite depending on where you plan to send it.

Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
