Palm Beach

Palm Beach - I heard all beaches here are public, which means anyone can go, but there are not umbrellas or chair for you. They are only for the hotel guests. We weren't sure how to get into Palm beach. We parked across Barcelo Aruba and walked to the beach(there was a road leading to it, a parking lot). Good beach, however this beach area we got to had some seaweed. the water wasn't clear. Nice walk along the beach there are shops and you can see different resorts. no noisy jetskis.

It’s my fifth visit!!! 🥰And of course I will come back! Supper service! We got 2 rooms on 1 and 2 floors! We didn’t like it! So next day we got 2 rooms on ground floor! 170 and 173! Thank to all staff! And thank Miriam for very good food!! 😋😋😋

Overall, the whole experience has been meh. I would rate it a solid 5/10. Hurghada itself is a war zone. Think tons of rubble, plastic waste & rubbish. Additionally, the hotel we stayed at (Palm Beach resort) wasn’t the best in my opinion. Pros: - Got a good room in terms of location, not content (the beach was in front/right next to us) - The private beach was clean & tidy - Shower pressure was great - Food options were decent - Bedding & towels were clean - Excursion staff are very caring, attentive & friendly (booked via a different app called Viator) Cons: - Scammers kept wanting Euros instead of Egyptian Pounds (their actual currency). Don’t bother changing your money unless you already have Euros - Expect to be hassled/harassed by people trying to sell things 24/7 - Inattentive staff, not being able to communicate things properly - Anything you expected to be supplied as standard, you would be charged or would need to e.g. WiFi, mugs for tea,milk & coffee & more - No actual vibe, no atmosphere (it’s basically a hotel for 60+ yr old people) - Music was extremely low & not up to par - Expect your room to be cleaned at any time. Either morning or afternoon - Not enough towels & bottled water (we had 2x 500ml water in our room, had to ask for stock ups) - There was mould in some areas & shower door was very stiff - Everything felt like trouble to ask for - Definitely not a 4 star hotel. At most, a 2/3star hotel - A lot of staff present but some of the staff don’t do very much/lazy at their jobs - They need to hire actual bartenders to make the alcoholic drinks

We stayed at this hotel from November 30 to December 8, 2025. I can only recommend this hotel; we had a room right by the pool, cleaned daily, and the services were excellent, except for the beer, which is Egyptian and served from cans. I must also mention the head chef in the dining room, who is very friendly and always gives good advice. We will definitely come back here. Marcel

We spent our vacation in this hotel at the beginning of September. We are very satisfied with the service, cleanliness, food and drinks. The animation team is excellent, the evening show is ok. The sea is clean and clear, and the beach is sandy. The hotel met our expectations and I would come back again!
