Independent Red Sea Coast hotels

"Breakfast outstanding staff and grounds are excellent "

"The standouts are the staff and the snorkeling straight from the beach!"

"An unforgettable experience right on the Red Sea. The beach was absolutely beautiful, the water was crystal clear, and the entire atmosphere felt relaxing and luxurious from the moment we arrived. Everything about this stay exceeded expectations—the service, the views, the comfort, and the overall attention to detail. It’s easily one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I truly loved my time here and would return without hesitation."

"Al Kasr sits within the beautiful gated community of Sahl Hasheesh, and overall we had a great stay. We visited in February 2026 and the weather was perfect. The hotel still feels like it’s in a soft‑opening phase, with the spa unfinished and some facilities being refined, but the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Tipping plays a big part in service levels, so bring small notes. The pools were a highlight: all heated, never crowded, and the swim‑up rooms offered real privacy, though ours had some messy tile repairs. The beach is directly connected to the hotel with plenty of loungers and a bar on the sand. Food was good, even for a picky eater, with the main restaurant plus several made‑to‑order snack bars, a café, juice bar, and doughnut station. Service, however, was inconsistent—sometimes excellent, sometimes nonexistent—and the language barrier could make simple requests harder than expected. Our room was comfortable but the air‑con didn’t cool below 23°C despite reporting it, and the pillows were overly large. The mini‑fridge was restocked daily, which was a nice touch. There’s no ATM on-site despite what Google says, so withdraw cash at the airport. Despite a few teething issues, Al Kasr is a lovely, luxurious hotel with huge potential, and we’d happily recommend it for a relaxing getaway."

"Great resort "

"Amazing stay. Rooms were spotless with great housekeeping. Staff were fantastic, super attentive and friendly. Easy to get sunbeds by pool and beach. Great selection in buffet for both breakfast and dinner. Lovely beach with music and cocktails on beanbags at sunset which was really nice. Could not fault the hotel at all. "

"We had an amazing stay at Cook’s Club El Gouna. The vibe is so cool and relaxing, the rooms were clean and modern, and the pool area is beautiful. The music, food, and overall atmosphere made it such a fun experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We truly had a great time and would definitely come back."
