We stayed twelve days at Fort Arabesque
Resort, Spa & Villas and had a wonderful time.
Everything was clean, the food was good, and we didn't have any stomach issues at all - which was great.
A very special shout-out goes to the animation team. Every single member did an excellent job. The evening shows were entertaining, professional, and made us laugh a lot. After the shows, we often went to the beach bar, where we danced together and had a really fun time. These evenings were truly memorable.
You can feel how much passion and energy the whole team puts into their work. They were always friendly, positive, and created a great atmosphere every day. The animation team was definitely the highlight of our stay.
The beach is beautiful, the sunbeds were
often taken early, but we still always managed to find some.
Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable.
A fantastic stay overall, and we would happily return.

It lived up to expectations, and in some cases exceeded them. First trip there has just concluded (Nov 2025) and we rebooked for next year almost immediately.
The resort is large, with three distinct areas: West bay, Beach area and Villas. Beach (central) zone is amenable to families whilst the other two are for adults, but it is open plan and you never feel hemmed in. The grounds are beautiful with lush grass, palm trees and flowering shrubs, all interlaced with pleasant, meandering pathways on different levels. At night it is particularly beautiful because of the copious, soft lighting illuminating the flora and the abundant swimming pools.
The beach is wonderful and a cut above the adjoining hotels/resorts. Easy entry points are clearly marked and the sandy bottom ranges between 1-6M in depth, with numerous coral outcrops and and an abundance of fish. I totally recommend it for snorkelling.
Food and catering is exceptional at any level of all-inclusive package. The main restaurants offer a huge selection of fresh, appetising dishes. Really impressed.
Lots of resorts make really big claims about what they offer but, hand on heart, I can tell you that the management of Fort Arabesque truly walks the talk. They deliver EXACTLY what they claim to offer. The staff everywhere are simply delightful and attentive (love them all); the public areas and accommodation are impeccably clean and well maintained. We stayed in a duplex suite for part of our stay and the remainder in a beautiful villa. Irrespective of which package of accommodation you choose, I can guarantee that the same high standards will apply. 10/10

In one word, perfection. Excellent service, and I felt at home the entire time. The food and drinks were outstanding, and every member of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I even made friends with the staff and workers around the hotel – everyone was more than friendly, they remembered faces and always surprised us with little things that made our stay even more special. Another thing I really appreciated was the flexibility: our checkout was at noon, but since our bus was leaving at 11 pm, they kindly allowed us to keep our wristbands until departure. We didn’t miss a thing, and we’re already looking at when to come back. Truly a perfect experience. Highly recommended!

I wanted to try the Spa facility for having a massage. They (staff) adviced me to have a Egyptian Massage. I wanted to try and I booked. the massage room was looking like a dentist room, was very bright, far out from feeling calm and relax. the massage counter was very soft which was absorbing all the pressure. masseuze was 50+ age a tiny thai lady far away from executing any pressure. and didn’t understand even one word of English. during 50minutes she just oiled me and tapped me. there was no any techique. wondering if this is a proper Egyptian Massage or not. and from begining to end, noone asked me if I’ve an injury , or any desired focus areas bla bla. there is no need to book a massage at this hotel. waste of money, and waste of time.

Booked this place specifically for the snorkling. I did'nt expect what I got. Was an amazing place for this and private to hotel guests only. Also non swimmers could also see the corals and fish in waist deep water in many areas. Staff very polite and attentative in all areas. Plentiful food with measures to minimise greedy waste. Quiet adult only areas. Staff not pushy with sales. I saw 75 plus different species of fish several times over within 15 minutes of being in the water. So if you want private beach with marine conservation area this is it.
