Hotels with Rooftop Pools in Hurghada

"The hotel is located in Makadi Bay, about 30 kilometers from Hurghada city center. Prima Life in Makadi Bay seems to be one of the hotels with the highest occupancy, almost always fully booked. During our two-day stay, we were the only four Chinese guests; everyone else was European or American. The hotel is quite large and has its own beach where you can swim and snorkel. The room was very clean, and the bed sheets weren't pilling, but the facilities are a bit old. The bathroom drain was very slow and would get clogged during peak water usage in the evening, but showering outside of peak hours was fine. The hotel has four restaurants, but only the main restaurant was open every day. The food selection was rich and tasty; the roasted camel meat was particularly delicious. The beach bar also served freshly baked pizza from a wood-fired oven every afternoon and offered daily specialty cocktails. The service at the front desk, restaurant, and bar was good, with one exception: a waiter named Mohammed at the Oriental restaurant completely ignored us. When ordering, all the foreigners who arrived after us were served, but he didn't acknowledge the four of us. I tried to catch his eye several times, but he looked right through me. Eventually, I had to wave him down and directly ask him why he couldn't see me, and only then did he quickly serve our food. The Oriental restaurant was our only somewhat negative experience; everything else felt great. For an all-inclusive hotel costing just over 1,000, it offers excellent value for money. Overall, I highly recommend it."

"The room was excellent, clean and tidy, and the location was perfect. It's right next to the pier plaza and the hotel's own beach. The front desk can also help book tickets for activities like dolphin watching and parasailing, with pick-up and drop-off service. It's only slightly more expensive than booking directly, but the convenience is a huge plus. There's a night market right outside in the evening, and the nearby seafood and barbecue restaurants are delicious, offering a variety of local specialties. It's absolutely perfect! One more thing: if you're going to the Cairo Pyramids, definitely avoid the hotel with the best views of the pyramids! Remember that!!!"

"We stayed in a small suite in Building 4 for 3 nights, and the overall experience was absolutely fantastic! Everything from the hotel's scenic environment, service, food, to the planned activities was truly amazing. Three nights just weren't enough. Building 4 is incredibly convenient for accessing all the restaurants, the infinity pool, and the diving lagoon, and the sea view is stunning. Honestly, you can see beautiful sea views from anywhere in the hotel, but convenience really is key. From the moment we checked in, we met Du Fei – I was surprised by how young and handsome he was, and he was exceptionally kind. We encountered wonderful staff with great service at every restaurant, always smiling kindly and chatting with us, even complimenting me! Especially the person in the photo, who was incredibly nice and thoughtful. I think he looks a lot like Carrie's *** best friend (Stanford Blatch) from Sex and the City, haha. He's genuinely a great person, constantly moving between different restaurants – I wonder if he's a manager. If any of you go there after reading my review, please say hi to him for me! The hotel's five restaurants are all incredibly well-thought-out, offering Asian, Turkish, and Italian cuisines. Pay special attention to the food description signs, as they clearly mark characteristic dishes from different countries, allowing you to choose based on your preferences. I found something I loved at every restaurant, all while enjoying beautiful sea views. The fantastic non-alcoholic cocktails were continuously available, as was the ongoing supply of bakery items – so delicious! It truly felt like living the pampered life on a cruise ship; I gained 6 pounds here! The hotel activities are incredibly rich and varied, with a fantastic entertainment team and DJ. I participated in so many activities: yoga, stretching, Zumba... After a few days, the entertainment team even recognized me. The hotel has different special programs on specific days each week, like the pink infinity pool party, beach fire dance show, and theater Zumba. Every day was super busy, moving between my room, restaurants, the infinity pool, and the beach, but also super happy. The hotel offers incredible value for money – beautiful scenery, delicious food, and wonderful service. I will definitely be back again!"

"First off, the hotel environment is simply stunning. Facing the sea, the gradient blue is absolutely gorgeous! We booked a sea-view room, and the one we got was fantastic, also facing the ocean. We booked an island hopping tour through a travel agency, and it turned out the boarding pier was right next to the hotel, just a 10-minute walk away, which was incredibly convenient. A great feature of this hotel is the public shower rooms with hot water. Even after checking out, you can still use them after returning from your island tour. A special thanks to the hotel manager. I misplaced a valuable item due to my own oversight, and the manager patiently reviewed the surveillance footage the entire time, eventually helping me find it. This really shows how reliable the hotel's security is. Vehicle checks for entry and exit are quite strict, and sometimes the security guards at the main gate even check if passengers have the hotel's wristbands."

"I liked the hotel; it was quite aesthetic, and the food was satisfying. However, I didn't like the room. It was very dark with poor lighting, making it impossible to do my makeup. Overall, it was hard to see anything. Also, the floor in the room felt unpleasant. On the plus side, there was a great storage area, the room was spacious, and it had a lovely balcony. Another downside was the poor soundproofing. When parties were happening, I could hear everything in my room, which was disruptive if I wanted to go to bed early."

"I recently stayed at Mercure Hotel, and overall I had a really good experience. The food was alright—definitely better than what I’ve had in all-inclusive hotels in Turkey or Tunisia. There was a wide variety of dishes, including lots of tasty options, cakes, tea, coffee (which was actually good), cocktails, and decent beer. The service was excellent. The staff were very polite and always willing to help—you can ask them anything and they’ll do their best. A special mention goes to Ahmed, the kitchen chef, who is an incredibly kind person. He really stood out, and I’d give an extra star just for him. The resort overall is not as busy as many other places in the area, which I really liked. It’s a smaller hotel compared to others nearby, with a simple, nice look—white buildings with brown windows, just like in the photos. It’s not a big aqua park-style resort, but honestly that was a plus for me, as I could relax without too many kids around. The beach is nice and quiet, perfect for relaxing. There are comfortable beds with shades/umbrellas around, so you can always find a good spot. The hotel has three swimming pools—the one next to the main restaurant is very large and usually empty, as most people stay at the smaller pool or by the beach. The sea water was a bit cold for my preference, but it’s beautifully clear and very clean. Many people really enjoy it, especially for snorkeling—there are amazing snorkeling spots right next to the resort. Rooms are cleaned every day, and you get two bottles of water per room daily, which is a nice touch. There are also plenty of activities: you can play tennis (though they only have one set of rackets), mini golf is included in the stay, and there’s a gym which is usually empty. There are snacks available by the pools and the beach, and a bar in the main restaurant. Outside the hotel, taxis are easy to find either at the lobby or on the street. Just make sure to agree on the price beforehand, or use the inDrive app—it’s usually cheaper than Uber or Careem, and you agree on the price upfront. There are a few shops nearby as well. If you need medication, it’s better to order from Self Care Pharmacy (you can find them on Facebook). For example, I ordered Antinal and rehydration salts with delivery for only 250 Egyptian pounds. They can deliver pretty much anything you need, and it’s much cheaper than buying inside the resort—definitely good to be prepared for emergencies. Overall, it’s a clean, more peaceful hotel with good service, plenty of food options, and lots to do. A great place to relax and enjoy the Red Sea."

"The hotel is simple in a good way. The rooms are small but well designed so it is ok. The pool is huge and everybody is around not in which is even better for people who like to swim quietly. The beach is artificial but that is the way it is. The breakfast is outstanding, on of the best ever, and god knows how many breakfasts I have eaten in hotels. The a la carte menu that you can have at the pool bar or at your lounge chair is short but very tasty. Little deception with the buffet that we took at dinner on our arrival, but you have so many options to dine out as the hotel is located 50 meters from the ”center”, an open air food court with very good restaurants if you choose carefully. Last but not least, If you are into kiting and/or wing-foiling the hotel has an agreement with the Duotone Center located in Casa Cook's a sister hotel. It is a 15 minute ride by Tuk Tuk. In a nutshell we recommend."

"I believe this would be my favorite hotel no matter how many years pass."

"I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel experience! 🎉The room is spacious and bright, and the bedding is comfortable and soft. The service is also very thoughtful, making me feel at home. I highly recommend this hotel to all travelers"

"Highly recommend especially if you are a family with young kids. We went as a group of friends and still enjoyed it, the water park has slides suitable for adult fun and also kids with a special area for kids only. The only negative is that the beach is a bit of q walk away, however there are consistent shuttle buses. The reception team and manager are very polite and helpful, the life guards and water slide guards are all very nice and are there for your safety and happiness. The food was amazing, there is also food all afternoon by the pool. Pools are big and there are more than one with an all adult only pool for pure relaxation. Very safe resort just keep your belongings near to you. I want to give the biggest thanks to the animation team, they are the ones who made this holiday, from day time entertainment to evening shows and night outs, they truly look after you from their hearts wanting you to have a great time in Egypt. Big thanks to Moose, Kariam, Omar and David. I very highly recommend this resort."
