The vacation was pure relaxation, as well as party suitable! It was offered by the entertainment a lot, however one was not forced, to join in. The hotel was very nice, even if the guests above all Russian and Arabic were. German guests like we were rather the exception. But as almost all the employees in the hotel spoke English, was not a problem... Read more

Roomy, trendy and charming so absolutely fantastic

Good food especially pasta that the cooks made in your order
Near the beach and shopping but outside the hotel everything seemed to be old and broken

I always make a point of checking out Trip Advisor and hope anyone interested in visiting Egypt sees this. Hurghada is totally safe even though there has been some unrest in Egypt it has not affected the Red Sea resorts. I stayed at this hotel from 26 Feb until 12 March 2011 with 2 other female friends and we could not fault either the hotel or the service. The staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for them. The whole hotel is spotlessly clean, mattresses turned every day, clean sheets and towels and beach towels every day. My oth...

We stayed at this Hotel for 2 weeks early September, like many others I had read the bad reviews but thought I would make my own opinion, we were met my Hussan and the friendly staff at reception, the hotel was clean and everyone seemed friendly, we had a small problem with our room and we were moved the next day with no fuss, you have to give the staff credit during Ramadam a lot are on holiday and a the remaining staff are working 17 hour days,! - in September 10
Food was good, hotel is clean. - in April 10
Having read reviews before we booked i thought we had made the right choice but i was so wrong,the hotel is clean and the pools are not to bad and the service round the pool bar is excellent but thats where it ends ,the food is disgusting not a lot of choice and what choice there is is unedible ,most of the comments on the food on previous reviews was made by eastern europeans or russians, having gone in to the other restraunt as the staff call it ( same food in both ) its easy to see how they say food is nice. - in March 10
We all had a fantastic time, hotel was clean, Staff very friendly and helpful (my son made good friends with Assem from the hotel management and also Roland from the Animation team, not forgeting all the waiters and Kimo from the Hotel Shop! - in January 10
The animation team was taking care of our sport shape playing with us volleyball and dancing belly dance :) , special greating for my teacher – Ahmed :) I will not write about this how clean is the hotel and how tasty is the food, because somebody want to spend the best vacation he should just visit Pyramisa blue Lagoon with everything that this hotel offers. - in November 09
Pros Clean hotel Lovely pool - but water too cold Cons Rubish off-site beach Food, not much choice and pracitally same everyday Poor all inclusive drink (beer served in tiny plastic cups) Staff quite abrupt, not making it a plesant place to stay No outdoor entertainment or places to eat close by.

My partner and I did indeed enjoy our stay however our three main gripes with our stay here are as follows. - in September 09
we still enjoyed our stay we had an amazing time and would advise visiting luxor that was amazing also the marina is good as it is quieter than sakala if you do not like a lot of hassel do not visit sakala as it is manic some of the people were very rude we got locked in a perfume shop until we bought a perfume some of them are really pushy and not very nice i would advise not to go in a shop unless it is a big store or unless it was busy. - in September 09
altho the hotel wasnt as good as i thought it would be if your not fussy then give it try by all means we still enjoyed our stay we dont let anything ruin it as a holiday is what you make it. - in October 10
Why who knows? We enjoyed our stay at Pyramisa, it's a lovely peacefull hotel with a relaxed atmosphere, where you can chill. - in March 10
Three of my co-workers and I stayed here the past week, and we all sure enjoyed our stay. - in March 10
We enjoyed our stay and felt that this hotel was good value for the money that we paid. - in November 09
Our 1st week was not too good but the 2nd week was a vast improvement and we all enjoyed our stay.
- in October 09

- in July 10
We saved on eating out we saved on tips and we saved on doctors bills , the second week of our holiday was fantastic . - in September 09
Finnaly the holiday was fantastic and I would recommend hotel to anyone, we are not the type of people to go to the same place two times , but we can make an exception for the Pyramisa Blue Laggon in Hurgada.
- in July 10

- in September 09
Overall, we had a great holiday and would definately go back to the Red Sea but will try Sharm next time. - in August 10
They truly did their best with limited resources to give people a great holiday. - in June 10
They all went the extra mile to ensure we had a great holiday, taught us Arabic, made sure we weren't getting ripped off when shopping and made us tea! - in March 10
But do not worry if you have booked up you will have a great holiday. - in October 09
Similarly, we enjoyed the time we spent in Hurghada both during the day and in the evening so ended up having a great holiday after the massive disappointment of the first day.
- in September 09

- in September 10
my only complaints are the air con in are first room and the few missing tiles on the pool, everything else was great, we both had a great time there and couldnt believe how bad some of the reviews on this site are, some people are just never happy, we had a very enjoyable, relaxing time and would recommend this hotel to anyone - in August 10

We found the staff very polite and helpful and regardless of other reviews on here,throughout our stay we did not have one bad experience and not once were we asked for tips or bullied into doing anything we did not want to. - in October 09
Before we left I read the reviews here, and there’s a big mix from 1-5 stars, so I thought it cant be that bad, some people must have had a bad experience compared to others that have had a fantastic time.

To start our impresion of the hotel was not very good as we were made to believe that the resort was a 5 star rated hotel but we were comparing the hotel pyramisa with the hilton which we were staying in before in Egypt. - in September 09

I must agree that the rooms and housekeeping staff seemed more organised and we could not fault our room at all, it was clean, spacious and comfortable. - in September 09
Housekeeping does a good job to keep our room clean and with special flowers decoration ( it was sexy for us). - in September 10
The people at reception laughed at us when we phoned to ask for someone to clean the room and then when we wouldnt give up and insisted on changing rooms, they sent housekeeping to come and PRETEND to fumigate the room.
- in July 10
- clean Rooms

- in September 10
The pool area manager (Helal) for the lovely smiles he gave every day as he handed out clean towels and re-arranged sunbeds to everyones satisfaction, nothing was too much trouble. - in November 09
Clean towels were provided daily and the staff would even prepare your sunbed for you without demanding anything in return. - in October 09
The three swimming pools are deep enough for swimming but also safe for children with plenty sunbeds and as we were only there for a week we didn't venture to the beach - plenty sunbeds and clean towels every day.
- in September 10

- in August 10
The rooms were very spacious, clean and trendy. - in July 10
The rooms are very spacious with good air-conditioning but as their were 3 of us but only 2 beds,this was mentiond to the reception who got a man to bring up a bed, the bed turned out to be a fold up camp bed with 2 very thin pieces of foam for the mattress, when you lay on it it sags a lot in the middle had to put the cushions of the chair underneath it. - in May 10

we were concerned however that the patio door didn't lock, we didn't have the double bed that had been paid for, and the TV didn't work (which was a massive deal for us as BBC worldwide news was our new best friend as we tracked the ash cloud sweeping across Europe!
- in August 10

- in January 10
However, there was no heating in in any of the pools - they were freezing and so were empty most of the time: the animation staff said they would love to offer daily aquacise if one pool could be heated.

Service

- in October 10
This property offers three large pools (One who is closed for renovation), a nice pool bar, two great restaurants and a lobby bar with friendly staff. - in September 10
The pool sellers were asked only to be around the pool twice a day instead of all day which was a relief – to be fair its only the health club that drive you mad, Mohammed & Adam the safari and snorkelling trips are great guys and we booked some amazing trips, I feel ill on this holiday and the Hotel Doctor seriously overcharged me there is a pharmacy out the back use that – we did get our money back from him, this just shows how much this hotel wants to be a 5 star and Patrick and his team are doing everything in the their power to get it back to a 5 star, we will certainly be back next year to see the changes and see all the friendly staff again thanks again for a lovely Holiday and ba humbug to all the miserable people that found the staff rude are you sure you were staying in the same hotel - in August 10

half eaten tubs of ice cream covered in flies and a table of cakes and pastries would be left out every afternoon attracting millions of flies,quite a few people saw rats and mice, they do absolutely no cleaning during day and the germans/russians are so unbelievably arrogant, blatently drink half a drink and throw half empty cups over the floor . - in September 09
lots of sun loungers and the sea is warm and good, however, there are no fish as there isnt any coral nearby, which disappointed a few people we spoke to. - in August 10
Anyway she did usually manage to get a few people up and involved, I did enjoy one game of water volleyball, although it was slightly spoiled when a strange Russian man got a bit competitive and repeatedly smashed the ball at a poor 10 year old girl on the other team, second place is the first loser i suppose.

The hotel has two restaurants ones for the russians and polish and the other for the british and europeans, so your not involved with the russians much as they r very rude people, the staff in the restaurant were fantastic, if your going look out for mohammad and khalid in the british restaurant as they are amazing and would do anything for you, they love seeing smiley happy faces, the waiter staff were also superb as they brought us different cocktail drinks to try (non-alcoholic) and always made sure you had a drink and there was no dirty dishes on your table. - in July 10

Food: Ok so here's the important bit, because let's face it you can make the best of most things on a holiday but you gotta eat. - in July 10
The food was ok, nothing special but this is all inclusive and Egypt and frankly I expected nothing more. - in April 10
Food was OK.
- in August 10
- small plastic cups

- in July 10
We ate out alot cause the food was cold, always the same and the reheat it up at least 5 times a day. - in June 10
The cold food was not in fridges and was left uncovered (flies) The beer/soft drinks/wine even though was plentiful was served warm! - in November 09
even the barbeque night was a bun fight, could not get a table and the food was cold, not to mention after the russians had got to it was not fit for anything. - in September 10
this so called 5 star hotel its more like 2 star,dirty the food cold and same everyday drinks in the bars were warm and out of a bottle. - in September 10
In my opinion, one of the reasons for some food being cold, maybe because of the heaters being used. - in July 10
The food is cold, the drinks are warm.

Nightlife experienced outdoors was the Hard Rock cafe, on the promenade, but they charged you 22% in tax to drink whilst seated. - in May 10
Also excellent shopping/eating including Hard Rock cafe within a short walk (via a glass door at the back of the hotel and then turn left) Although near to the airport there was no air traffic noise. - in November 09
It is cheap to eat out and nice food that we found at XXX bar and grill, the Mafia Italian restaurant and Hard Rock Cafe (fine, but be prepared for them to add 25% on your bill for sevice and tax!

Pros Clean hotel Lovely pool - but water too cold Cons Rubish off-site beach Food, not much choice and pracitally same everyday Poor all inclusive drink (beer served in tiny plastic cups) Staff quite abrupt, not making it a plesant place to stay No outdoor entertainment or places to eat close by. - in October 09
Larger is poured from bottles into tiny plastic cups. - in October 09
And you could only have plastic cups. - in September 09
5 liters each) of water per day per room and you can drink water from the fountains only with the plastic cups they give you. - in September 10
Their job could be made a little easier if the plastic cups used were either made a little heavier so they do not blow into the pool . - in September 09
The pool bar is ok and, as has been previously written, drinks are in little white plastic cups (health and safety reasons). - in August 10
the all inclusive drinks are a joke (served in the thinnest plastic cups ever. - in September 09
if you are english the waiters will usually give u glasses instead of plastic cups as they have said they dont like the russians as they are rude also there is a restaurant where mainly english eat it is nicer and quieter. - in July 10
Drinks were served in tiny plastic cups and dirty glasses.

Pools - are lovely and the beds are really comfortable. - in November 09
If it helps - the hotel, room and 4 pools were lovely, the beach is horrible, the resort is like a building site, and you have to run the gauntlet of every single shop owner trying to pull you into his shop every time you go out for a walk. - in September 09
