Loved it all - the staff, the food, the room, the reefs and beach and the weather was fab. Special thanks to Israa the Thompson rep who sorted out our big problem - will certainly return soon!! More

This was our first trip to Egypt and we were slightly anxious about it after reading several reviews about hygiene etc over there. However we had absolutely nothing to worry about at all. This hotel was fabulous in every aspect. Our Thomson rep at the hotel was brilliant as were all the staff we encountered on our weeks stay there.... More

Great hotel if you want to chill for a week, location is remote with a 25 minute taxi ride to Hurghada to get to civilisation. Hotel guests are primarily Italian , staff were excellent in all areas and made you feel welcome, food is usual all inclusive fare, however it is to a good standard and is fresh/hot. Tip, if... More

As you arrive the Hotel looks drab and tired and indeed the room we stayed in was in desperate need of refurbishment. We were on the third floor and yet had damp along the one wall. The shower overflowed as did the drain in the bathroom, and remained this way for the duration of our holiday, even after our complaining... More

The beach was postcard perfect. Beautiful foliage across the fort. Pools were perfect temperature. A huge complex to explore. I felt like royalty for 2... More

We booked this holiday quite late just looking for a holiday with guaranteed sunshine. The hotel was clean, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and all in all it was a lovely hotel. There were plenty of sunloungers although very few actually around the main pool area. The staff in the bars were super and always greeted us with... More

We have just returned from a 2 week family break at Fort Arabesque and loved every minute of our stay - we will definitely return. We travelled with our 3 children who are 12, 5 and 3. Thomas Cook plane trouble caused a 3 hour delay from East Midlands so we arrived at 11pm - a little ragged but relieved... More

I'm glad to see that most of the reviews reflect what a well-intentioned, welcoming hotel the Fort is. For the first time ever, having stayed at the hotel in Easter 2011 and had a wonderful time, we rebooked for Easter 2012. Myself, my wife and our 3 boys looked forward to returning all year and it certainly didn't disappoint. Upon... More
