Africa and Indian Ocean Hotels

We have really enjoyed our stay at Lux Belle Mare. From the moment you step into this hotel you feel taken care off. We were welcomed by the staff with cool towels and a drink. Since we arrived in the early morning our room was not ready but we were invited to courtesy room where we were able to freshen up and after have breakfast and enjoy the hotel and the beach. Later in the early afternoon we were shown to our suite. Beautiful large room with seating are, separate dressing room and a bathroom with tub, walking shower. The service is this hotel is truly five star. Anywhere you go you will find staff ready to help. Concierge desk will help you organize any activities, trips, taxi. Food at this hotel is amazing it does not matter if you decide to eat at the Kitchen-buffet restaurant or la carte restaurants East, Senses, or the Beach the food was excellent. Each evening you will enjoy different theme. We can not wait to go back to enjoy this excellent hotel their beautiful beach and this amazing island once again.

Fabulous on all fronts. Rooms, food, activities, service and environment

The hotel is wonderful and the staff go out of their way to help. Guest relations manager Mr. Aldo was especially very helpful. There was a great breakfast spread with something for everyone. The family room has one master bedroom (with sitting area) plus one children's room (with twin beds), a huge bathroom and a balcony. The room size is very good and perfectly comfortable for four adults also. Our room was on the ground level and the beach was just a few steps away. We will definitely be back.

The t.v. was very dated and I had to pay for wireless internet, which I think is ridiculous at this point in time, but the rest of the room was great.

From the reception when we checked in to checkout time all was good.

I was flying in from mombasa after a two week holiday at the coast......the check-in was done promptly and my luggage was brought to the room for me. I was tired and had a longhaul flight ahead of me the next day....so I decided to book a massgae.......what an excellent choice! I never had a better massage in my life!........I also had my dinner in the room and it was superb!! Later on I needed phone credit but the business center had closed already but a member of staff made sure I had my credit wihin 15 min.....the only (very small) criticism I have is about my room facing kenyatta avenue.....it was a saturday night and (quite naturally) the city center was buzzing.....and as a consequence the room wasnt as quiet as I thought it would be.......but overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a quality place to stay!!

The best hotel we've ever stayed in! Would travel to Cairo again just to stay in the hotel! Excellent staff, food, restaurant selection and the spa is the best I've ever been to. The soothing music in the lobby and pool area make it an enjoyable experience!

As always, Intercontinental Hotel was perfect in all aspects. It was so pleasant to dine in the Italian restaurant on the 2nd floor with a beautiful riverview and good menu at reasonable price. Hotel staffs including concierge, security personnel and the chauffer were very kind and efficient. I will return to Cairo and stay at the same Intercontinental when it becomes safer to travel this area.
