🎯 Salem's Honest Verdict

Grand Resort Hurghada offers something unique - genuine vintage kasbah architecture that creates real atmosphere. The grounds are stunning with greenery, palm trees, and exotic flowers beautifully maintained. Eight restaurants provide excellent dining variety, and the heated pool means winter swimming is comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. However, this is an older resort - rooms and bathrooms need updating, the beach is a 5-minute walk at the neighboring Grand Hotel, and occasional power/water issues occur. For those who appreciate character architecture, beautiful gardens, and dining variety over modern amenities, this delivers a unique experience just 10 minutes from the airport.
