π³πΎββοΈ Salem's Honest Verdict
Desert Rose is one of Hurghada's best family resorts - the gardens alone are worth the visit! The grounds are absolutely magnificent with palm trees, flowers, and beautiful landscaping. Staff consistently go above and beyond, especially with children.
The natural lagoon beach is exceptional - calm, shallow, sandy entry - perfect for kids. The free water park with slides keeps children entertained. Five restaurants mean good variety.
Be aware: Some standard rooms need renovation (being updated). WiFi is unreliable. Beach vendors can be persistent. For recently renovated rooms, request specifically.
Best for: Families with young children, those who love beautiful gardens, guests wanting lagoon beach, activity-seeking families.
