Une semaine inoubliable, très beau séjour en Egypte ! Le personnel est acceuillant et serviable. La nourriturre est divérsifiée tous les jours et elle reste très délicieuse, au point que nous avons pris quelques kilos ! La piscine reste une des meilleures activités les plus agréable puisque nous y avions été presque tous les jours durant notre séjour.En ce qui... More

This is the best hotel we have ever stayed! (I have been to Egypt 10 times) We came here to rest, to enjoy the food and the weather and the nice people. All our expectations were furfilled! All staff is so friendly, really wanting us to have a great time. The food was amazing, there was also Indian food, tasting... More

The Sahara Sands and the Sahara Oasis share a site at Port Ghalib with the Intercontinental, close to the Marina with its handful of shops, bars and a couple of restaurants. The Sands and the Oasis are either side of a shared main restaurant, bars and the pool areas, with the Oasis being family-orientated and the Sands quieter. Our views... More

We were upgraded from Marina Lodge (which was regrettably closed) to the Crowne Plaza Sahara Sands in Sept 2011. The rooms were very spacious at the Crowne Plaza with extremely comfortable beds. The bathrooms were excellent with great hot showers, especially after a day's diving. The hotel is clean and well kept. The restaurant had a great deal of variety,... More

After one night at Three Corners Fayrouz we changed to the Crown Plaza. Before deciding we took the taxi there and had the girl from Guest Relations showing us around. This was easy, after seeing the beautiful rooms and the very nice restaurant (Asian, International, Italian and Indian corners) we decided to go here and were never disappointed the ten... More

Hotel is right on the long private beach. You can go walk by promenade on the beach or by gardens to the „centre“ of Port Ghalib, with few shops, one... More

Good points: big lagoon and pools, wide beach (but few sunbeds), the jetty is really well built, beautifully decorated rooms with all facilities, wide choice at the buffet restaurant but the hot dishes are all too spicy. More

We have just returned from a two week stay at this lovely hotel. From the gracious greeting until the transfer back to the airport we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was spotlessly clean and nothing was broken or in disrepair. The grounds were perfectly manicured and there were charming (bug eating) geckos in the lamps after dark. This thrilled... More

Wow. That was the first impression after the short 15 minute transfer from the excellent new international airport. Seeing most hotels that are starting to spring up in this previously untapped area, this is a cut above. Spread out over about a mile of 'campus' the two-storey buildings spread out the accommodation to surround a monster of a sea water... More

Very good hotel for family relax. Food was rich with fine taste. Room was a little small for two adults a two children. Services was excellent. Entrance to the sea was complicated, only by molo. Im totally view, hotel was very little mistakes. Super holiday. Milan (Slovakia) More
