We had an amazing time at the Ancient Sands hotel. The facilities were amazing, great pools, good restaurant and very easy to move around from the hotel to the city center. The hotel provides you shuttle to and from the city center and they have an exclusive beach only for who is staying at the hotel. The breakfast is also delicious!

The rooms were clean. Nice views. However the guy at reception was unfriendly and tried overcharging me so I book directly with hotel. Made me wait 30 mins. I Asked for a glass of water upon arrival. Never gave it to me. Told me go to bar and made me wait. Unfortunately below average service at this rate. 225£ already counts as a luxury hotel especially in Egypt.. The service was max 2.5 stars not going to come back. Sorry..
