Red Sea is fantastic for snorkeling. The hotel was sea sided and the view just gorgeous. The staff was friendly.

We went to Egypt this year for the first time with my cousine. The hotel Pensée was an excellent choice. Rooms are clean, staff friendly, bottled water for free and excellent food. The sea, beach and snorchling were beautiful. It was great, relaxing holidays with excellent service. Animation program twice a day with a lot of sports. We also enjoyed the evening shows, some more, some less entertaining. Regarding the digestion problems, we have taken some pills with us from Czech Republic and also bought some local ones and did not have any problems at all.

Very nice village, the superior rooms are large and confortable, regular rooms are older and less roomy. Good facilities, very nice beach and snorkeling is easy even if you don't swim. Nightlife is not very lively because there are not many young people. Tour to Luxor is very interesting, but hard (more than 8 hours by coach); tour in the desert by quad it 's cheap and nice.
Food is not very good, with some strange spices common to most of the plates; I liked only some meat done on the grill.
Temperatures are just perfect in October, going from 25 to 32.

Where do I start ! All Europeans, not many English not a problem. We are frequent travellers around E,gypt so know what to expect. Hotel was clean,rooms ok, staff friendly but not enough of them, especially at meal times. One poor guy doing bottled water and booze for the five thousand. Beach great, snorkelling great, sunbeds plentiful the problem was the food. Awful, badly prepared and the same every night . My partner was taken ill and I was pleased there was a medical centre on site. However, there our problems began!. The doctor diagnosed food poisioning which he later changed to gastroentonitus after a "chat" with the hotel manager. Four saline drips and sickness pills and 2 visits later, delboy in the medical center presented me will a bill for £1000.00. I was furious and questioned the cost, his reply was" not to worry your insurance will pay". He then proceded to show me previous medical bills for fellow guests (nice little earner) To be fair the Egyptian rep was great and horrified we had been ripped of in his country. He said to me treatment for gastroenteritus/food poisioning should cost no more than £100.00 .And that's pushing it. We both love Egypt and will always return, but won't be going back to the pensee/utopia .
