👳🏾♂️ Salem’s Take: Expensive Silence
I have stayed in almost every hotel in Hurghada. The Oberoi is different. It smells like jasmine and old money. Walking in here feels like stumbling onto a movie set where everything is just a little bit too perfect.
It is suspiciously quiet. No techno music, no animation team blowing whistles. Just birds and the Red Sea. If you are stressed and hate everyone, this is your sanctuary.
Why It’s In A League of Its Own
All Suites
There are no "rooms". Only suites. They are massive, with sunken marble bathtubs and private courtyards. Some have private pools.
A La Carte Only
No fighting for the last croissant at a buffet. Everything is served to your table. The Indian restaurant (Zina) is arguably the best in Egypt.
Privacy
The layout ensures you rarely see other guests unless you want to. It’s a favorite for celebrities and people who value discretion.
Detailed Assessment
✅ The Perfection
- Service: Staff remember your name, your drink order, and seemingly your life story after one day. It’s intuitive service.
- Maintenance: Not a scuff on the wall. The gardens are manicured with scissors (okay, maybe not scissors, but it looks like it).
- Space: The beach is huge and the distance between sunbeds is generous. You have your own bubble.
❌ The Isolation
- Location: It is at the far end of Sahl Hasheesh. You cannot just "walk to a shop". You are trapped in luxury.
- Price: It is painfully expensive. One night here costs the same as a week elsewhere. But you get what you pay for.
🚕 The Grand Arrival
Do not show up here in a random street taxi. The security is tight and the gate is imposing.
Book a pre-arranged sedan to breeze through the check-in.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Is it worth the money?
If it's a special occasion (honeymoon, anniversary) or you just need silence? Yes. If you just want a bed to sleep in? No.
Is alcohol served?
Yes, they have excellent wine lists and cocktails, but it is not an "All Inclusive" binge-drinking culture.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, but there are no water slides or loud kids' clubs. It is better suited for well-behaved children or teens.
Treat Yourself
The "Grand Suite with Private Pool" is the ultimate splurge.
