Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel

All the hotel is very nice and very well equipped. Rooms are very spacious and confortable. Restaurants and commons areas also very nice. The pool and beach areas are huge and very pleasant: lots of space, umbrellas and hammacks (no need to wake up soon to get a place...). Staff very helpful. The points that could be improved: -the animation: it's rather weak, especially at night; maybe this is intentional, since the guests are mainly families with kids -the food: not bad, but a litlle repetitive

We have just returned from Hurghada., Aug 2008. We were very happy with the choice of hotel we made. It is for sure THE BEST in Hurghada. Both by location and cost-value ratio. The rooms are excellent, indeed 50 sqm. Well furnished, lovely bathroom, terrace, very clean, equipped with bathrobes,shampoos etc.etc. The pool is fantastic, the beach very nice, sunbeds good and always available everywhere.., golf course. The staff are friendly, respond to requests, though a bit weak with the English language. HIGHS: place for... more

I traveled with my husband during March. The place was really excellent although we stayed for a very short time. The pool was very big and clean and we really enjoyed the drinks at the pool. The staff was very polite and friendly. Generally, really worth the visit. Hope next time we will stay longer.

Well, I stayed in this hotel in April for a week. The stay was business related. The lobby is amazing and the rooms are clean, big, and real nice. The balconies overlook the pools and the red sea (though the red sea is a bit far). The beach was real nice except for some German and Russian men who kept on getting totally undressed on the beach; which I found weird. One annoying thing was that my card kept on getting inactivated (and no, it was not my cell phone :-)) and kept on going back to get a new one. The funny part is that the... more

It started very nicely. The room was big and nice, bathroom very nice. Beautiful balcony. As we were honeymooners we had flowers on the bed and rose peddles in the shape of a heart. The food for the first night was very nice but it went downhill from there. Too much choice, instead of a fewer and nicer choices, it was many and not to nice. But the pool was lovely. Beach just 2 min from your room. But a problem with the people staying there, they get up at 7 and go to the pool at 8 put their towels down and then they just go somewhere! It... more

Just returned from 6 days staying at the Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel at the end of a tour of Egypt with the family (2 girls aged 12 and 8). We all loved the hotel and were overwhelmed by the service. All the staff, without exception: reception, room cleaners, waiters etc. greeted us with a smile, and nothing was too much trouble. On the first night we rang the reception about a minor problem with a toilet that would not stop trickeling; within 5 minutes someone was at the door to fix it. The rooms were spacious and beautifully... more

The place is nice, but the management and services are not 5 star. Not even 3 star! We had Ultra All Inclusive, we went there with the agency Tez Tour. We asked for the best place for diving in the Red Sea no meter how much it costs and this is what they gave us. Ultra All Inclusive does not include everything, there are still a lot of things "not inclusive", like... a cake served in the lobby. The services are poor, you wait 30 minutes for a coffee even in the lobby bar. We went there 6 persons, 2 of us had stomach... more

Agree very much with Muerz's comments. We stayed there for 4 nights recently. A few other gripes: - I noticed at the breakfast buffet that once the first round of guests had had their breakfast, the staff was pretty slow to re-set the tables. I had to go around looking for my own crockery & cutlery. - The staff is friendly but not too bright. The resort had activities going on throughout the day, but none of the staff members seemed to know where these were being held. Even the reception and guest relations officers couldn't... more

The Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel is visually a beautiful hotel and photographs you may see on their website or here paint an accurate picture of its magnificence. It is a huge sprawling hotel with an immense labyrinth of pools and despite the number of guests there was never a shortage of sunbeds or towels around the pools. The Ultra All inclusive package we had during our stay was mostly excellent, a variety of local and international drinks plus alocoholic and fruit cocktails enough to please everyone. A few money grabbing... more

The Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel in Hurghada is completely new and claims to be Hurghadas most luxurious hotel. Let me say from the beginning that I had a good stay and that I really think they could be right with their claims but they certainly aren't yet. There are still too many minor annoyances and problems at this property which I will try to cover in the following review: Rooms: The rooms are well appointed (at least 55 square meters) with large balconies and most overlook the pool area and have also seaview. Ask for a... more
