For this stay, we first stayed for 3 nights with all-inclusive rate, then got a room upgrade to Blue Bay Suite on the 4th night and on the 5th night an upgrade to King Plaza Suite which is probably one of the best upgrades as the terrace has a whirlpool and offered breathtaking views of the Red Sea and pools from the 7th floor.

Check-in

Aside from the key card and towel card, we were also given a welcome letter.  We could have lunch or dinner buffet for 10USD which is cheap,a nd which we took advantage of during our stay.

For all-inclusive, this is the welcome letter.

Since most of the guests here are on all-inclusive rate, there are lots of seating areas where one can enjoy their drinks in between meals.

CONCLUSION

We were just so glad to have stayed here with an all-inclusive rate, as well as a diamond member (with standard rate) where I got lovely upgrades to their suites. The hotel is very modern and offers numerous amenities including 3 pools and a private beach. The food served in the restaurant during breakfast, lunch and dinner was impressive, one time they had crabs for dinner and it was perfect. During our stay as a diamond member where breakfast is included, we had an option to have lunch or dinner buffet for 10USD per person which was very cheap, and which we took advantage of during dinner. There is also a shopping mall next to the hotel where we had lunch. Overall, the hotel is perfect for all-inclusive rates although when there is full occupancy, it could really be crowded. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again when we are back in Hurghada 👍
